From a pure percentage standpoint, 5151515151515151's performance last year is still slightly better than Oklahoma's this year. 51 had exactly 60% accuracy last year, and with a few games left, Oklahoma is at a hair over 59%. Both are very impressive. Anything over 55% ATS is not easy.

I don’t know how legit degenerates do it man. If I had to put my actual American money on this stuff I’d lose my cotton picking mind

With real money you’d be making the easier bets, playing easier parlays, hedging your bets, etc. I’m sure it’s stressful as hell but there’s a better strategy involved than just guessing like most of us do here. :lol:

Yeah but Oklahoma will win by more games this year than I won by last year. He has a 10 game lead on 2nd place I only won by 8. Congrats to Oklahoma.

I did learn one thing this year though, It is a hell of a lot easier playing with a lead, playing catch up only makes one fall behind with the rest of you losers.

Gatorbreath beat out 4 other people via tiebreaker to win Bowl Week. Five people hit a seriously impressive 25 out of 39 games.

As you know, there is one game left. While the overall winner has been determined, 2nd and 3rd place are completely up for grabs.

For what it's worth, next year the prize will be split among the top TEN, and you'll be able to drop your worst week.

there’s a better strategy involved than just guessing like most of us do here.

As one of 4 people to be in the top 10 both years (barely both times), I call BS on both the releasing of bad weeks (could have really used it once though) and only rewarding top 10 going forward. Below are the others who have been top 10 each year, and evidence that contrary to Sas's remark, at least Oklahoma Gator does not seem to be "just guessing". Though candidly, this also shows how bad we are collectively that over two years, only 2-5 people would have broken even or profited a measly few dollars (if forced to randomly bet on games picked by Ox and bowl games you would never touch). Don't gamble folks!

@Oklahoma Gator - 2019 - 1, 2018 - 6 (tied) (collective two year % = 56.5)
@RiverRat - 2019 - 3 (tied); 2018 - 6 (tied) (54.8)
@Defend the Swamp - 2019 3 (tied); 2018 - 7 (tied) (54.6)
Me - 2019 - 8 (tied); 2018 - 10 (tied) (54.5)
@Captain Sasquatch was one of the few who was close to the top 10 one year, and still on the plus side the other year - 52.9%

After last year's domination, the two year total for @Gator515151 is still best for second place at 55.2%.

@oxrageous also finished above 50% both years for a two year total of 51.6% (getting 165 correct each season)

Now I've jinxed myself and will be in the bottom 10 next year. Can't wait.

Edit - Also - Congrats to OklahomaGator

This was the first week I tried. All of the other weeks I let my dog make my picks. Consider yourselves warned for next season.

Earlier in the thread you said you didn't know what I was talking about...what is your plan for 2nd and 3rd if there are multiple people with the same number of wins? Because it's listed by name, alphabetically.

Or is that not possible?
