ESPN's Streak for the Cash

[sahyder1]

Its back for another season starting today. Basic concept. You get 27 straight sports predictions right and you win a million bucks. you get a game wrong you have to start the streak again. Sports include all the pro sports in the US plus college basketball and football. Soccer from the various European leagues is there too. You pick one game per time slot....if you're not confident in a game you can pass on it.

I created an EWB group pw is ewb in lower case. Anyone up for it?

It's still not too late to join. First to create a streak of 27 by March 31 wins. At that point I'm assuming will be season 3.

i'm in

[Cactus Drags]

Yeah, I'm game. Although I'm presuming it's going to be all dickish and American, so I'm in for fun and glory rather than an actual prize.

Untrue Dragsy, there are regularly soccer related matchups.

Also, I'm in.

As much as I want to pick the Blackhawks today, I also want to win, so I'm rolling with Georgia today.

Make sure you guys only pick one per day, cause it only recognizes one pick at a time.

[Cactus Drags]

Yeah, but they're usually all "competition only open to North America (excluding Quebec)" and all, I fugred the Premier league stuff is because they still screen it in the States.

[Maxx]

Fuck it, go Blackhawks.

Copycat :@

I've only gotten like five right in a row

Somewhere I always end up making a stupid decision. It's really luck...the guy I saw on ESPN that won last season got incredibly lucky on some of the picks he made.

I'll join though

And I'm going with the easy pick - Go USC~!

[Cactus Drags]

Eh, my streak can start tomorrow >_>

[sahyder1]

you can pick multiple games a day but you can only pick one game at a time. so as soon as game 1 ends....you can go online and pick game 2. I've done as many as 5 games in a day in the past.

0-2 so far today. Disappointing. By the way what is the longest streak for people who've done this in the past?

I had 18 last season, but then Pittsburgh just HAD to upset South Florida.
