Jenneral Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 I'm sure most of you have at least heard of the ESPN Streak for the Cash game. If not you can find it here: http://streak.espn.go.com/en/ Basically you pick a match up or prop each day in an attempt to build your streak. The longest streaker each month wins a cool $100,000. It's been going on for over a year now and it's a pretty addicting fantasy game. I find myself on the edge even when my streak is 3 or 4. My thought was that we could all share our strategies and picks for the day in this thread. Maybe if we help each other out one of us could do some damage on the leader board.

Cobb Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 I use to do this a while ago but I would also forget to make a pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenneral Posted May 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 My current win streak is 7 and tonight I'm playing the Los Angeles Dodgers to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks. My reason for the pick is simply that Kuroda of the Dodgers is 3-1 with a 2.70 era which is miles ahead of D-Back Jackson, 1-4 with a 7.32 era. I've found that for MLB games the pitching match up is the most important info to take in. Other things may be record and recent streaks. Hopefully this will hit and improve my streak to 8. :glasses: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trutrojan8 Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 how do people pick multiple games in a day?They pick the earliest game they can, then when it's over you can pick again if there's still games available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenneral Posted May 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Yesterday's was a winner. :glasses: Today I'm going with an early one to start... Mariners to beat Orioles. If that hits I'll probably make a second play for the day with the Celtics/Cavs game. Still undecided which side I'd take though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHutch Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Bump this. Anyone wanna make an OTR group? I just made one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog17k Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I do it on my iPhone with the app, I'll join an OTR group. I just don't know how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHutch Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I just made a group. "OTR Basketball", password = "otr". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I had a streak of 14 once, other than that I get to like 5 or 6 and lose one. I don't check on enough to make lots of picks. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenneral Posted June 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I stopped doing this for awhile after losing on a big streak. I'll try to get back into it soon. From my understanding it goes year round, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHutch Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 ^Yeah. Longest streak each month = $100,000. Most wins each month = $2,500. I usually try to get a streak of at least 5 before I start playing careful. But I pick a lot of games each day, so you should really get back into it and we can help each other out. Would be nice if a lot of people from here signed up and all helped out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenneral Posted June 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I'll try to remember to start back up tomorrow. I'll post my picks whenever I make them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHutch Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Alright cool. Don't forget to join the group! My picks for Wednesday June 16th:Spain by 2 or more - Spain has WAY too much for Switzerland. 3-0 Spain. Giants win by 2 or more - Giants are at home against the worst team in the league AND Lincecum is on the mound. 6-1 Giants. Robinson Cano's first plate appearance = Any Other Result. - The chance of him getting a hit or walk are about 40% (his on base percentage), plus he is facing a left handed pitcher in Jamie Moyer. Fly out. Will a home-run be hit in innings 4-6? = Yes. The Phillies and Yankees both have a lot of power hitters, plus Yankee Stadium is a hitters park. Howard goes deep. How many batters will strike out in innings 8 and 9? = 2 or more. 12 outs in the 2 innings between the 2 teams (unless the Yankees are winning in the 9th, then only 9 outs), with Joba and Mariano likely to come in, I like at least 2 of the outs being strikeouts.

TheHutch Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Went 3-2. Damn Cano, if he would have just flied out, I would have a 4 game streak. But instead he hit a HR. Oh well, and I didn't get the HR in innings 4-6 in, so I only have a 1 game streak going into tomorrow. I will post my picks in a little bit. No one else does this here? It's actually pretty fun, so lets get some more people into this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 I went 1-1 lost on Spain so I picked Uraguay at 2:29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 I'll go Mickleson-Tiger-Ray Allen REB+Assits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHutch Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Join the OTR group Fish. I'm the only one in it right now. OTR Basketball is the group name, and the password is otr. My picks for Thursday June 17th: Nigeria win. Greece looked absolutely horrible in their first game, while Nigeria played a very good game against a tough team in Argentina. Nigeria 2-0. Mexico win/draw. France has some good players, but they struggled terribly in their first game. (Couldn't even score a goal against Uruguay who was down a man for the last 15+ minutes of the game). Draw 1-1. Tiger win. Tiger will be ready to play. He always plays amazing here. Tiger takes it by 3 strokes over Els. Rays win. Rays are an amazing road team, and while Shields has struggled lately, I think he will come out with something to prove and pitch a great game. Rays 7-3. Will a 3pt basket be made in the final 2min of game 7? - Yes. I think the Celtics will be down and will be chucking up 3s, and Ray Allen will make one. Good luck everyone!

Jenneral Posted June 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 I really agree with the 3pt bucket one. Seems like the easiest of them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHutch Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Ugh. Tough luck with the first game of the day, Nigeria win. Up 1-0, then a player gets a stupid red card and costs their team the win. Oh well, go Mexico! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHutch Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Ah struggled again today, only 2-3. Won my last one though, so I will have a 1 game winning streak going into tomorrow, which I will pick USA to win to start the day. I will post the rest of my picks later.
