Circa Millions Contest

[ouch]

There were four leaders in the Circa Million contest at the end of Week #4 in the NFL.

Each had a record of 16-4, and each had just been awarded a prize of $66,250 for their performance in the first quarter of the contest.

So what happened in Week #5?

The leaders went a combined 6-12 (which will end up at 7-13 since two of them are on opposite sides of the Monday Night Game).

So much for handling the pressure that comes with the lead.

By the way, EOG's resident genius, ComptrBob, went 2-3 for the week, and is now 10-15 through the first five weeks of the contest.

I guess "genius" isn't what it used to be.

Kinda rubbing the mean, median and mode in a little.

Well getting 66k for 4 weeks of work would make anyone a bit comfortable

The dumpster fire leader is 3-21-1

I don't know how they are able to do that but that's simply amazing if done on purpose

Fezzik and Scott Pritchard have 5 of the 7 exact plays. Looks like they both get their plays from the same person. I wonder who that could be? Crazy too that Fezzik only has 1 NFL play. When you listen to him it's very easy to tell he knows very little about college football.

Fezzik and Scott Pritchard have 5 of the 7 exact plays. Looks like they both get their plays from the same person. I wonder who that could be? Crazy too that Fezzik only has 1 NFL play. When you listen to him it's very easy to tell he knows very little about college football.

Or it perhaps could be that they're both using a substantially similar approach to playing the most mathematically advantaged stale line plays.

That sort of thing is related to why I had a passing interest a few weeks back in seeing the contest numbers when the contestants see them at around noon on Friday. To be able to then see how much stale lines might factor in during the five hour interval before the picks are due later that day.

That's of course something that Fezzik in particular would at least be aware of in doing his contest picks, i.e., which contest numbers are the most mathematically advantaged as against the market lines when the selections are due. (And, as well, one doesn't have to -- necessarily -- know anything about college football to do that math and follow such an approach more or less mechanically.)

Or it could be that the earlier picker's picks are being leaked somewhere in the process before they're publicly available. You hope that that sort of thing doesn't happen, particularly coming down the stretch, but if one is speculating about why there's a congruence between two players' picks that would be another at least theoretical possibility.

But contest picks -- even with the number of possible different picks in this particular contest -- aren't exactly the Coke formula or something else necessarily unique. I'll defer to Bob on the specifics of the mathematical probabilities, but I'm not sanguine that a substantial congruence between two players' picks in one or more weeks, at least standing alone, necessarily leads to a particular conclusion.

[edited for grammar . . . "two players' picks" for "two players picks" in penultimate line -- that sort of thing just bugs me, lol . . . the effect on writing of too much texting, etc.]

 

[railbird]

agree, if they arent using live lines its a joke, and no real handicappers have any interest whatsoever in fezzik handicapping

seems fezzik is on a podcast here and there for most of the day ... great exposure though not much space remaining to assess/review/evaluate endless college action ...

The seven guys at the top of the Circa Millions contest at the end of Week #6 went a combined 15-20 in Week #7.

Even playing against stale lines, the pressure gets to these people when they sniff the top of the standings.

It happened again yesterday.

The six contestants at the top of the leaderboard in the massive Circa Millions contest went a combined 12-16.

The remaining two plays are both on Pittsburgh tonight.
