I'm messing around with a formula that I came up with for predicting O/U for NHL games. Coming into today, through 4 days of games, the formula was 11 wins, 9 losses, and 4 push. However, the first 3 days, the formula was 10 wins, 2 losses, and 4 push before going 1-7 yesterday. I changed it a bit to only take into account the previous 3 games for each team, so we'll see how that goes. Currently at 1 win and 1 push today.

Here comes the big bucks

Fresh off my last 2 HUGE wins ( Tulane and Memphis ML Saturday 100 for 3200 and CMU, Miochigan, Arkansas ML 250 for 5100 last night ) I am taking a 5 teamer tonight of Davidson +9.5, Seton Hall +7 and Kansas, Maryland, UMass ML for 300 to win 11400.. If I win this one I am going on vacation. Thats for real.

Why did this thread show up yellow for me. Is it saying I'm a degenerate gambler. I bet you $1000vcash that I am not.

it took me two days to figure out that any thread highlighted in yellow is a stickied thread....

Thanks I was joking. However it is nice to know the yellow highlight reasoning.

Good question. Now that you mention it, looking through user vBetting histories, @esls79 (currently #3) and @Ritzarmy (#5) actually did earn their vCash through vBets...

...but @UK Cowboy (#1) somehow got $3,000 free vCash, @Pack 500 (#2) got $1,500 free vCash, and @trojanfan12 (#4) got $1,000 free vCash without making bets. What's up with that?

Bus sport, I also ran NFL weekly Pickems and playoff Pickems during the season for vcash. Obxyankee ran a weekly MLB Pickems last season.

I'm also planning to do a March madness tourney for vCash barring an ok from the hammer. Those are some of the other events done to make it fun with vcash.

where is this? mock draft of what?

Go to Sports Forum main page and near the bottom of page in Other forums you will see Mock Drafts. This is where we do 1-2 mock drafts from all types of sports with different rules each draft. 1st 3,000, 2nd 1,500 and 3rd gets 500vcash.

@MHSL82 ....did you bust out today??
I bet it all (pending). I got up to $5670. Let's see how much or how little I get back. I'm not very good at gambling so I don't use my real money. Kiss me something to root for.
