EOG's Grand Challenge presented by BetDSI (BOMZEE is our July contestant)

[jimmythegreek]

The views might not be record-breaking, but the post count will get there.

JK should have offered that DD be restricted to only posting inside his GC thread during August.

Could be done? Of course
Will be done? This isn't a contest of consolation prizes. Another assassination is much more likely.

 

[bomzee]

Play 14
928 giants twins
OVER 7.5
( -105 )

 

[Patrick McIrish]

Smell and his almost 7.00 ERA with a perfect game going?

9 outs away......

Say it ain't so.

Perfect games aren't great for OVERS.

 

[jimmythegreek]

Snell loses his no hitter in the 7th, Twins tie the score in the 9th at 2, only for the Giants to walk it off in the bottom of the 9th. Going into the ASB, Bomzee drops his 5th straight and falls to 7-7 with a limited card until Friday.

 

[jimmythegreek]

It's complimentary, he reads the room well.

Only two "losses" so far, a +148 dog and a fade of the enormous TB Ray organization.

Trust me he's doing it on purpose.

No need to show off, just get the win......

He's going to do just enough to get the W.

Me. Ismay from Titanic has just entered the building.

Who has the most wins in the GC? Seems like a revolving door of the same contestants. I wonder if JTG is in the hunt for most wins.

Are you talking all time? I might not be ause one year, my third attempt at it, I was 3-13. CB would have tabs on this one. I'd guess railbird.

I'm talking winning the money...nothing else matters

So you're discounting falling short? Because I have played in 5 of these and only won twice. Both 18 wins to qualify. Going the full distance, the other with 9 losses. Railbird would then have to be tied with me.

 

[Abundy]

July is the worst Gambling month of the year. I know from last year

 

[bomzee]

Play 15
Utah Jazz sac kings
Over 180
( -107 )

 

[bomzee]

Definitely
A rough patch lately
Currently at a below mediocre 7-7
Going forward
Is it delusional to think I am
One little sequence away from being where I need to be ?
Perhaps
I’d much rather be optimistic than anything else
And I am

Just grab the next 4 and you will be back on track. All about one game at a time.

 

[jimmythegreek]

Total points in the Summer league is 152 in an 82-70 final. The mark is down to 7-8.

 

[Woodrow Wilson]

This guy never misses a trick......

He knew getting out 6-1, 10-1, 12-1 and so on and the forum loses interest.

Not to mention probably not getting an invite for another dime.

Golf, bowling, ping-pong or whatever - this cat sandbags with the best of them.

Well played Bomzee, well played.

Has Bomzee posted a winner since?

11-4 finish is needed, so hopefully the turnaround begins today.

 

[jimmythegreek]

6 straight on the down side. I certainly didn't see it coming.

However he started out 6-1, so hopefully he could go on another run similar. He still has a night off he could use during the ASB, but with a limited board July is a hum dinger of a month.

 

[Woodrow Wilson]

Maybe JK will send him some WNBA winning selections?

Is the Monday blog still a thing here at EOG?

 

[bomzee]

PLAY 16
CONNECTICUT SUN
+ 3 (-1O3 )

 

[Dell Dude]

 

[Patrick McIrish]

Has Bomzee posted a winner since?

For sure not my intention, was having a little fun but definitely rooting for Bomzee.

I guess this is appropriate though.....

 

[howid]

ah yes, the priest, the undertaker, the corpse and the gravedigger ... most iconic album cover ...

 

[jimmythegreek]

Sabrina Ionescu becomes a one woman show scoring 30 points as the NY Liberty defeat the Connecticut Sun 82-74. The loss extends Bomzee's drought fo 7 straight as he falls to 7-9 overall.

 

[Woodrow Wilson]

Bomzee crushed the closer.

Took 3, closed -2, lost by 8, of course.

 

[ouch]

Yes, it is for level headed conservative folks who have societies best interest in mind as opposed to leftist scum who think public blow jobs are not pornogph acts.

There is no shame in taking a mulligan for this interesting piece of political commentary.

 

[bomzee]

The truth is I have currently lost SEVEN games in a row
( a GC record record ? )
The unfortunate truth is
I did it and I am guilty
Today will be a day off
Tomorrow evening I will return with a play for Fridays MLB card

 

[Dell Dude]

The EOG record is 30 losses in a row.

You don't have to take accountability as you know it's a tough contest. One game at a time. Hope you can catch a big winning streak.

Correct, by default, the contestant's time zone is used to determine a day's pick. Bomzee is out West, ergo PST.

Another time zone can only be selected at the beginning of the month.

I understand your point, bomzee. All I asked was is it okay to make the play for the same days of action, nothing more.
