Just went back and checked.

BAS has a record of 14-2 in games that were the first game of the night on a multiple game night (meaning the game was finished before he posted the picks).

Record in other games: 19-17.

Pretty amazing! What are the odds???


Dang, BAS, your hot streak in correctly picking games that finish before you post the picks publicly continues.

Your record in games that finish before you post the picks publicly has to be like 18-2. Amazing.

Congrats! What are the odds??

What are you trying to say ?? everything is time stamped

You want me to Set a Time deadline of the First game to get all picks in ? I have no problem with that at all.

Also some of those games weren't finished yet

Better Yet ... I'll do away with the Form and you can just Post everything Right in the Thread.

Since I'm being accused of Cheating some how. Moving Forward ....... The Deadline to get Picks in is before the Start of the First game on the card.

The Nights when I know I won't be around, you will have to post directly in the thread
because I can't release the picks from my cell phone, I just don't know how.

Well I for one am shocked by these allegations & demand a full refund, plus 10% for pain & suffering. Lol Geezus can’t make this shit up. Think BAS has proven himself to be pretty trustworthy, just sayin. Plus the whole timestamp thing so...

Also my play total should be 65 so i’m done. Thanks bro.

it is what it is ...maybe while I was cheating I should have put in my 3 unit play :)

Anyway, I won't enter anymore of these contests in the future and only stepped up while JOH was busy
plus thought it was going to be an easy going contest.

Cute post! Too much effort for you to do the right thing XXXXXXX!

You make a claim against BAS without going to him privately and stating your concerns. You
go public for all the forum to see. Now this contest is horseshit...thanks.

If your claims are correct...BAS needs to step aside for this contest. If now...you did not
serve this contest correctly...you should bow out.

a couple of things.... First of all I haven't cheated on anything. each day on each pick it is time stamped
If there were Any concerns with the format and the timing of the Release of picks, it Should been brought up Earlier, Not when I'm on a mini run
I would have gladly changed any format that the group wanted.

I don't know what my record is on earlier games, but I do know that I have picked 1 game, 2 games and 3 & 4 games. I also saw a couple of times where I went
3-0 or 3-1, which means I had pending games when the picks were released. Also, I have been anywhere from the middle of the pack to towards the top for a while
it's not like I was on the bottom and out of the blue I jumped to the top.
Guess if I wasn't near the lead/tied for the lead and a head of him, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

The guy even called out another player when there was a question if a 2nd set of posted plays were allowed or not.
more or less like he's running the contest.
Guess there's a history between the two as he said they were in another contest together.

But I Never once thought there was a problem with the way it was being done.

Moving forward All Picks must be put in before the first game tip off.

as far as stepping aside from the contest, I will not. I paid and have played by the rules/agreement that was made on or slightly after the contest started
I have not done anything wrong. Plus the Contest is far from over.

That's my 2 cents

The pearl clutching over my snarky comment is ridiculous.

Any online betting contest I've ever participated in, the host has been VERY careful to make sure everything was above board. You publish everyone's picks ahead of time, you don't play yourself, you do whatever you need to do to avoid even the perception that you could not be playing by the rules.

When the person running the contest has an absolutely amazing record (14-2) in games where they COULD be cheating and a totally average record (19-17) in games where they could NOT be cheating...at the very least, AT THE VERY LEAST -- that's not a good look. You know people are going to ask questions when that happens.

Re: the "timestamp" argument. Get real. All BAS would have to do is make whatever picks he wants, and then if they don't win, delete them from the spreadsheet before posting. It wouldn't be hard at all. Come on. Do you even know how Google Forms work?

JOH never runs his contests this way, and there is a reason for that. He wants there to be no doubt in anyone's mind that everything is fair.

No one is asking BAS to withdraw from the contest. But his picks (and everyone's picks) should be visible by the beginning of each night's first game, so there isn't even the question of impropriety.

Well I Don't Think that way .... ( deleting something or cheating in general )

and my question is Why bring it up Now ? Why not a week ago ? 2 Weeks ago ?? a Month ago ?
If you Felt it wasn't right, why not back then ? You were going through Rules early on in this contest or rules that were missing

I would have been fine with anything brought up.

Also JOH doesn't play in any of the contest, and he has been doing them since Day one and knows his way around the spreadsheets better than me.
He also has worked a contest by 5 minutes Before the first game or the last game

Not Sure If there will be Double games ahead, but if So .... ALL Picks must be in By the First game Tip off

Picks will be Released within 5 minutes of the game Start. 99% of the time it will be right after tip off. But in case I don't have access right at that second, I will try to release ASAP.

Going to try to figure out how to do it from my phone, so there's no problems.
