Ok I wanted to run an experiment to see how long it would take for someone to pick 8 teams and all 8 teams miss the playoffs.
I won this bet at around 20 a pop for 6 or 7 years with friends. Nobody ever came close.

Then I took it over to therx to see how long it would take.
It took 3 years with around 200 chances before someone finally picked 8 teams where all 8 teams missed the playoffs.

I did not give that money away just for the hell of it because I'm a nice guy.
I just figured it was worth $300 to me to see how long it would take to be done because I have never seen anyone do it.

Now that I know that it can be done I have no incentive to do the same contest all over again because I got the answer to my question.

So now I'm going to make it 9 teams.
I want to find out how long it will take for someone to pick 9 teams and all 9 miss the playoffs.

I don't know if this can be done without getting really really lucky.

Since this new challenge is greater then the old challenge I'm going to put up $500 this time around.


$500 to the person who picks 9 teams that miss the playoffs.




Good luck and GO

Slap shot read my mind. He made his picks before I even started the thread.
With that kind of insight I might as well pay him now.

A moderator needs to fix the first 2 post.
It will be very confusing seeing the first 2 post switched like that.

I feel confident about my first 8. Last pick was down to Chargers or Titans.
