you just chose the games with the line.  They also have an added feature for you to rate the games you are most sure of.  If those come in then you get more points.

I like the confidence points that\'s pretty cool.  I\'ve never played like that and thought it would be interesting.

I screwed up and put my confidence points in reverse order.  I think that\'s part of why I\'m lagging behind right now.  I also didn\'t take into account the spreads.  

Uggh.  I\'ll do better next week.

i didnt realize that we are picking against the spread not who wins

Yeah, I wish we didn\'t have to fight the spread.  It looks like we\'re all getting screwed by it.

Bah.  Spread is what makes it even.

The purpose of a spread is to create a market for both sides of a wager, so that bookies can offer betting on sporting events that are not competitive.  Since we\'re not wagering, and there\'s no sports book taking a commission on our predictive abilities, there\'s no purpose for a spread in this situation.  Unless of course, the intent is to make this pick\'em league more annoying and frustrating.

I\'m just pointing out the obvious.

Puuswahs....  

That\'s why I am using the confidence points.  That\'s where it becomes interesting.  Confidence points is easy with no line, but the two combined makes it interesting.  You have to put the highest points where you think the line is the most incorrect.


I am dropping the lowest two weeks of the season.  I raised it from one week to two since GMan fucked up.  This gives him one bad week of picks and us two.

good..because my cpu is dead and im using my brothers old computer so i didnt get to pick week 2. I brought my good pc for a diagnostic and they said it was the cpu, but had a "....maybe" tone. probably because they probably spoke english as their second language..

Title: PSX2Central Pickem League
Post by: Viper_Fujax on October 07, 2007, 04:07:24 PM
is that how confidence works? i didnt know that dealt with the spread, just thought it was some other separate thing to help calculate points

Vote all you want. I can\'t change it.  Why woud you not want spread?  That\'s what makes it interesting.  That plus the confidence makes it shweet.
