We were within 20 miles of being correct when it came to Ivan (remember? ;) OK, so this time around, I am going to say, 20 miles NE of Galveston. Mark my words .... :-)
Good to "see" you again.
Yes, I lost that bet. When there is such a large pool of betters the margin of error is extremely small
i.e. One of the parlay bets I make each Sunday is a promotion by the Cal Neva where you pick all the Sunday Games with no point spread and there was one winner last week who had all the games correct.
My guess is, that it is a pool of players laying off all the close games and splitting the winnings, but who knows. Luck can be crazy.
