Super Easy Three Team Parlay Picks Breakdown For Thursday!

[CalvinTy]

Yep, while it hadn't been said, I think we knew all this was unofficial until the game is finalized by the MLB Office of the Commissioner.

Game boxscore at MLB.com (for those who are curious on what Wil will be likely to look at after the game):

Off the point, I realize I only have started to post the contest picks this week... but, Wil, could I recommend this idea in mid-stride:

I think the game time tiebreaker should be 1st tie breaker? It seems to be a tiebreaker where there are a limited range of choices based on how other people in your "group of same picks" have picked before you. Obviously the median range would be between 2:45 to 3:15 with some outside those. It then becomes more of a deserving win if someone hits the very close/exact time gamebreaker (example: somebody guesses 3:06 game time right but attendance is not the one the person chose; yucky, eh?)?

Then, with 2nd tiebreaker, if 2 posters really believe that their times are good then they both can keep the guessed time anyway (i.e. 3:02 for both of them) but using attendance EVEN/ODD as 2nd tiebreaker. Finally if both keep insisting on same time guess & same EVEN/ODD guess, then earlier post wins. (I am not fond of "earlier post wins" because of how some people are simply not available the entire 24 hours window & maybe only am available during last part of window).

I don't know what to recommend as the 3rd normal pick (SIDE, TOTAL, ???), though.

That's also what I figure too, unofficially.

CWS 5
TB 1 FINAL

CWS wins; Under wins

attendance heard to be EVEN

game time appeared to be 2 hours 54 minutes, give or take a couple of minutes. In any case, gijoe looks like a possible winner!

MLB.com now shows:

T: 2:52.
Att: 13,496.

Just a courtesy FYI.

Losing a $1000 parlay because of a minute would redefine LOSER.

FairWarning! Oh goodness, if all holds true, the attendance count screwed you out of the $1,000!! Sorry, man!

You had 2:50 with next person at 2:55 if the attendance was ODD! I don't mean to predict that earlier tonight when I replied to you, I feel bad.

Its amazing. Even when Wil shortens them to three things I still miss all three.

I told -FH- not to go to the game, and that would have put your attendance on an odd number......nice try though........there was seriously less than 2,000 at that game last night
