Just an FYI--if you sit the next 2 weeks out as well-you will NOT win this contest. I can't put 3 in a row together so it won't be by me--but I have been impressed with the other gents staying in the + 2000 range--Go get em!!!!:dancefool

Is he really sitting out? If he has the minimum required plays, then it seems like sound strategy to me until someone gets within 100 points. Hell, wait until 3 guys get close to you before playing again

Not that I would win, but I'm sure he knows whats up. I would love to push him though.

Geez--you guys are so uptight--I was actually complimenting some of you. He is a big boy and can do what he wants. But it will take over 3000 to win.

SS-no--please resend

Believe me, the cheese is getting really binding on my end. My strategy has been to sit out for a while until things get tight. My hope was the ranks would thin out. I always expected a few guys to make a run, but right now there are 5-6 of you who are absolutely on fire. I'll definitely be making more plays, otherwise I'll probably end up in 7th place at this rate.

Good luck to everyone, you guys are some good cappers!

Thanks Journey.

The sit out strategy backfired on me last year, because I got caught on the last day and finished out of the money. I decided to try the same thing this year and it worked pretty well for about a month. The past week, these guys have been outstanding though. Needless to say, I'm going to have my work cut out to finish in the top 5.

I guess it's time to start focusing on capping baseball again instead of foots.

Funny because this is killing my football handicapping. Got drilled last two weeks.

Good luck everyone the last two weeks.
