The Consensus Pick for Thurs is.....

[Big_Mack]

ATLANTA BRAVES -140

OK for the guys who posted a pick here's how it will look tomorrow. I will keep up with individual stats for the active participants (so we know who's hot and who's not with their top pick). I'll post the new thread tonight when the over night lines are put out. Deadline for posting a pick under that thread will be 1:45 (ET) tomorrow.. G/L fellas...

[27th Out]

This is going to be a beautiful relationship!

Thanks Big Mack for your efforts. Good luck to us all!

 

[Big_Mack]

Thanks

Thanks

I'm eager to see how we can do over a period of time.. This can be a win/win situation.. If the consensus stinks, then we fade it daily.. If it kicks ass, then go with it.. Either way we can learn from it..

 

[Bandit HVG]

METS +110
I THINK THAT METS BATS WILL SHOW UP TODAY VS CRUZ

THANKS FOR THE EFFORT

Bandit HVG I had your pick down as the Braves... If it's not then we have a 3 way tie between the Braves, Montreal and Cleveland... I'll change your pick if you'd like but I think I'll leave the Braves up as the pick..... Sorry for the mix up...

Last night you posted under the thread and I just took it as if you were picking the Braves too.. I guess I read to much into your comment:

"I READ SOMEWHERE THAT GLAVINE ALWAYS PITCH VERY GOOD AFTER A BRAVES LOSE. "

It was my mistake because you never did say "My pick is the Braves"

Again sorry for the mix up.. It will all work out...

 

[Magic_01]

Braves -140 is my top pick. I also like the cubs at -120

OK A'S -140 CHA-CHING!!!!

Great Idea POD, if anything it will be fun and hopefully make some $$$$. GL everyone.

I have to leave the house for a while and anymore picks won't go on the record for today... I will post the thread for tomorrows "Consensus" when the over night lines come out (I use Pinnacle).. Thansk to everyone who is taking part in this experiment... G/L to us all...

I need a little more feedback on one more thing.. Should I cut the picks off before the early game starts or just make it a rule that we don't cap the early game.. Even though the thread will be posted the night before, some people might not be able to get their picks in until the next afternoon. If I have already closed the thread due to the start of the early game then some people will have to not have their picks counted.. I think just running the thread from the night before until 15 or 20 minutes before the next days games starts is the best idea.... So, if there is an early game noones pick that is posted after the Consensus pick is posted (right before the first game starts) will be counted for that day.. Let me know what you guys think.. I'm open for ideas.. I just don't want to run into having a game posted (like today) and then a flood of votes come in for another pick...

 

[THE KOD]

Atlanta / Philadelphia Thursday

Glavine is usually good out of the gate and at home. Put him in Philly under some pressure to win and he will usually fold.

I read something that Nick said in free picks, that we cant look at the starting pitching only, as that will get you in trouble. Oh and he said when in doubt always, always play the dogs.

I think when Nick was at the chalkboard in school. and the teacher handed Nick the chalk it made him sick.

I am going with Philly +130 Thursday. It may be too late to post plays for Thursday. but i am just reading this.

thanks

[Big_Mack]

I got you added to the list Scott-Atlanta... Going against the consensus... .. We'll see how it turns out.. Thats what this is all about.. G/L....

 

[Big_Mack]

Bump... For needy... G/L fellas

 

[P3uttt]

Count me in please. ... if not tonite then the "opener" tomorrow. The rules should be flexible for various reasons and the hope is that the honor sysytem will rule. Basic bragging rights at stake...I hope no one would resort to past posting and/or tricks with editing their message that I read somewhere can be done. Is it straight win-loss or units also factored to give consideration to huge dogs/favorite plays etc.


Many thanks in advance for agreeing to run this and good luck to all!


POD I know this might not count but I will pick OVER 8 TB/Baltimore for tonight 4/11

Anaheim +147 , thought I posted this, this a.m..
I am playin it as 3units
got to run

 

[forest]

please add me to the list , even if tonight doesn't count

florida/montreal over 9 -120

imo - a lot of people are limited by their personal schedules, mainly work, which means later picks
I guess it mainly depends on you BIG MACK, since you are going to be doing the grading. I would personnaly like to see it open til the last game goes off.

appreciate the board, and you hard work BIG MACK

 

[Jackals]

I am new to the site, but this seems to be a great idea.

Braves coming off a loss with Glavine on the mound looks good to me.
