DFO Prediction Contests Update – Week 13

That’s exactly what our leaders got this week.  How much?  READ ON!

DFO Spreads Wide (picking against the spread, Prize = A grab at OSZ’s bag of goodies)

Sunrisesunrise’s lead is now four over King Hippo and five over the king in yellow.  The rest of the pack has fallen back.  Unless the leaders have incredibly shitty weeks, this may be a three or four horse race.  The table:

DFO Picks Its Nose (Straight-Up pick, Prize: A bottle of fine booze)

Moose’s lead is back to three as Sill had a bad week and fell to third.  Spanky Dat Azz took over 2nd and there is a pretty healthy group at five and six back.   It should be noted that Blordinaryfagicmox had an extraordinary week by picking 13 correct games!   That is amazing.  Someone needs a weekend morning radio show!  The table:

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.

I’m now very deeply in debt to a Laughlin casino that let me place an automatic suicide parlay of, “Whoever is playing the Panthers that week.”

blordinaryfagicmox

I don’t know what I would call my show, but it would definitely have Man in The Box.

I promise you that my picking of goodie bag items is far superior to my football game picking skills.

Jebus Kringle I suck. I’m new to picking against the spread, and it shows. 11 right on straight-up, 6 right against the spread.

For gamblers and “good” prognosticators, what’s a respectable percentage against the spread?

laserguru

I would say 55-58 percent is pretty solid.
If you get over 60 percent you can probably get a job in Vegas as a handicapper.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

55 percent would be GREAT.

Sixty percent would put you in Biff Tannen territory.

SonOfSpam

55-60 percent and you could quit your job. I think the break-even is around 52% or so (counting the vig), and pretty much no one can do that consistently.

Lothar of the Hill People

Wow, then most of the people doing better than me (I’m Karl Marx’s All-Stars) are pretty damned good.

Someone needs to be giving real money to Hippo and sunrisesunrisesunrise.

Spanky Datass

Much like the Browns. I mean they had the number covered with a chance to win then: The snap, the kick BRRRRROOOWWWWNNNNSSSSEEDDDDDD!
