Hoo boy, Northside Rovers just keeps on rolling, adding a Weekly Cup victory and shattering the 1000 perf barrier. Last year he sprinted to first using only the lowest bets available but eventually crashed and burned due to having only moneyballs left at the end. This year, he's alternating between lowest remaining bet and moneyballs and is crusing. Can he keep up the pace or will leaving himself with 150's on the final day do him in? Number two this week is firefan2001 who seems to have turned the corner this season. sljohn comes in at #3 and get this: he bet the exact way the "next weeks action" lists the games. Shades of Northside Rovers 2004. #4 is IASocFan, for whom "swinging for the fences" represented the path to div 1. Rounding out the top 5 is the still red hot NoSix, who takes over 2nd place and no doubt has one eye on Northside Rovers' remaining picks. Play of the Week goes to jackrock for betting the farm on DC. Sadly he bet the villa, the townhouse, and the yacht on less successful teams. I want to remind those of you who still have most of your big bets remaining to keep hope alive, as the high perf scores suggest that many of you low-rollers may be doing better than the perf table suggests. (One surprising note: the perf formula we've been using is actually harder than previously suggested. Break-even on a max bet of 192 is 88.5%, not 80%! Thus our improvement over last year is even bigger than we knew.) Remember there are wednesday games. *FAQ and your remaining bets are available on the WPL status page.* ____________________________________________________________ Play Of The Week: jackrock, for the bet of 187 on DCU over SJE Weekly Cup: 1 Northside Rovers 165.588 2 firefan2001 161.386 3 sljohn 156.672 4 IASocFan 144.608 5 NoSix 138.224 Code: [b]Division 1[/b] [b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Bet Won[/i][/b] 1 1 Northside Rovers1,149.57 165.59 749 747.75 2 3 NoSix 989.45 138.22 681 660.75 3 4 jlo 943.26 97.41 585 540.25 4 2 BulaJacket 932.34 76.99 798 725.75 5 5 tab5g 926.24 120.50 631 597.5 6 7 MouseyTongue 894.06 102.46 600 574.5 7 8 Jose L.

Crap... I was so busy trying to find something interesting to say about LA last week I forgot to actually switch to have them winning the game. DOH! No more fooling around.

I would appreciate it if the Dickweed responsible for stealing my 1700+ reputation points would return them. Thank You!
Umm... I stole them and blew it all on craps. I guess I should have learned how to play.... Sorry about that.
Last I heard some Aussie grabbed up everything in sight and headed back downunder. You might want to check there first.
