I used to play, but never again. I started playing when I was 16. Thought it was fun, would occasionally go on small win streaks. Well one month I decided to commit to only good picks the entire month. I ended up streaking to 26 wins in a row. I won the month. But when it came time for espn to pay up, they told me I was too young to receive the earnings, that you had to be 18 or older to win earnings in a betting game. I was so fricking mad. I haven't played since

Sitting at W8 now and facing another problem with this game. Resisting the "you're hot, keep picking" impulse. However, I still see two props on the board that look better than anything tomorrow. I shall continue.

Days like today really make you want to quit the game altogether. Virginia blowing a DD halftime lead. Kansas blowing a DD halftime lead to lose their first home game in 3 years. WV losing at home. Baylor too.

That's pretty shitty, if true. Absolutely legal, I'm sure, but still shitty.

I have not played in like five years or more. This was my freshmen year of college, and I got to a W12 near the end of the month (like the 25th or so). Then, I knew I had to get a lot of wins quick cause I had never made it that high. I started researching picks and did four a day. It was my main focus for two days, and i got to W20. The monthly leader was only like W23 with only a couple days left. The next morning, I woke up, click on Boo Weekley (I think he just need to get a +1 or better in the round), and it was gone. I don't know shite about golf.

yeah, i believe in the first year of the game, one dude hit for 50K, and he couldn't collect because of the age limit, and you had to check that u were over 18. There was a huge outrage, but dude knew he was not playing the game legitimate, and another streaker ratted him the frick out.

People would create groups, and he was in a pick group and must of told some one his real age, and this dude remembered and ratted him the f out. Kid tried to change it to his fathers name, but no dice, ESPN(company that runs their games) told him his shite was illegal and they could be sued so they had to enforce the rule.

i'm on Grasso in UFC dealio then i guess Bermudaz in last pick for night

Had a W20 once. Lost on Portugal to beat Iceland in the World Cup. I was 2 back of the leader at the time. Kicked a chair when they tied.
