Odell Beckham just ruled out. :(

Completely out of the blue.

He was not on the injury report.

I remember a while back someone posted the % chance someone has of winning outright depending on the number of shared plays.

Bob, do you still have that?

Yep, actually you had lost when "1" went 2-0 in the morning games and you went 1-1, with the two shared picks, the best you could do was tie (which is a loss in the contest).

Don't remember that. Edited and corrected below.

The exact solution depends on the challenger's and "1"'s respective win rates. However if we assume both have a 50% cover rate and no pushes on any game, the contest win rate with no shared picks is 31.4% (challenger wins with 5-0 no matter what EOG does, "1" takes the case of a tied record and the challenger must have winning record).

OTOH, if all picks are shared, the win rate is 1/32 or 3.1%, With 1 shared pick, the contest win rate is 29.1%; with 2 shared picks, 26.6% win rate; 3 and 4 shared pick win rates are 23.44% and 18.8% respectively.

"1" needs the Vikings +3.5 tomorrow night to post a perfect record.

Gotta look to see how Sporty did this week.

He pointed to the fences by saying NFL Week 14 would be a great opportunity to wager.

Nicely done.

Four winners from five selections after going 5-0 the week before.

Only the lowly Cardinals let him down.
90% over the last two weeks and nothing to show for it in the free contests. You know betting is getting hard when 90% doesn't get you anything in a free roll. Oh wait I have that bulge in my pocket....wonder what that is.

Ladies....it's not what you think.

Lol. It was a very good Sunday!

Overall contest record, from "1"'s standpoint, for almost 3 years now (first year, 2016, was invitational, 2017 had Week 17 bonus contestants which are counted separately):

"1": Wins: 27; Win by forfeit: 3; Losses: 20 (includes 3 losses to perfect 5-0): win%: 57.4%.

2017 Week 17: Wins 15, Losses: 13.
