In order to have only one thread going this week, I'll start early. It's a slow week. Two opportunities for Beckham to look good on the sidelines in a suit! <amount home away> 118 DCU LAG 119 Dal Clb 120 Col Hou 121 NYR Tor 122 NER LAG

Another trying week that few were able to master. tab5g is the story of the week as our third place challenger takes a huge step toward the top. His Weekly Cup performance has him in a virtual tie for second and within a good week of the top. His Ace in the hole was a big bet on DC on the road, which was just nudged out for Play of the Week by this week's bronze medallist Damon Esquire who had a feeling that RSL would turn it around against HOU. The week's other big winner was Shaydee, who also landed a significant score on DCU. He vaults 4 spots, cracking the first division and the top 10. In fourth, NoSix does a professional job of damage control. Rounding out the top 5 is Flashman. AMERICANS SC takes over the lead in Rate of Return. *FAQ and your remaining bets are available on the WPL status page.* ____________________________________________________________ Play Of The Week: DamonEsquire, for the bet of 129 on RSL over HOU Weekly Cup: 1 tab5g 37.14307 2 Shaydee 32.97769 3 DamonEsquire -33.34463 4 NoSix -45.08693 5 FlashMan -61.61 Code: [b]Division 1[/b] [b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Bet Won[/i][/b] 1 1 Qdog 741.55 -213.99 616 243.5 2 2 AMERICANS SC 594.85 -122.19 530 246.75 3 3 tab5g 583.08 37.14 767 578.5 4 5 IASocFan 392.64 -92.48 598 328.5 5 4 jlo 392.30 -124.48 718 378.5 6 6 BenC1357 210.93 -114.69 612 297 7 7 NoSix 126.16 -45.09 476 272.75 8 8 dred 63.74 -96.23 635 352.5 9 9 dredgfan -79.78 -75.05 751 467.5 10 14 Shaydee -143.26 32.98 491 360.75 11 12 Greywacke -197.00 -116.09 589 283.25 12 13 Quango -201.34 -90.70 595 316 13 10 Crewbasher -209.43 -162.74 557 213 [b]Division 2[/b] [b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Bet Won[/i][/b] 14 11 firefan2001 -284.04 -207.09 711 291.5 15 16 petezuke17 -511.88 -104.93 688 373.5 16 15 PCrsl -608.94 -218.79 584 198.5 17 17 FlashMan -700.81 -61.61 492 266.75 18 19 alf -919.76 -110.80 685 374.5 19 18 Saeyddthe -972.79 -228.79 639 197.5 20 20 DamonEsquire -1,386.28 -33.34 606 382 21 21 BulaJacket -1,742.04 -324.01 513 0 22 22 CubanApex -2,380.00 -365.96 567 0 23 23 matzek73 -2,673.72 -422.60 637 0 24 24 themrs. -2,725.40 -449.29 669 0 25 25 patfan1 -3,328.02 -432.55 649 0 26 26 burnfan00 -3,850.65 -464.54 687 0 [b]Division 3[/b] [b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Bet Won[/i][/b] 27 27 Jc1231 -4,059.74 -453.52 674 0 28 28 revolutionfan -4,084.68 -459.44 681 0 29 29 rpi-fan -4,194.40 -464.54 687 0 30 30 Novaflow10 -4,203.40 -464.54 687 0 31 31 soccertom -4,283.40 -464.54 687 0 [b]Rate of Return:[/b] [b][i]Rank Name Percent[/i][/b] 1 AMERICANS SC 76.84% 2 Qdog 76.15% 3 tab5g 74.00% 4 IASocFan 73.71% 5 jlo 71.66% 6 NoSix 70.61% 7 BenC1357 70.60% 8 firefan2001 69.86% 9 dred 69.61% 10 dredgfan 67.36% 11 Quango 66.96% 12 Greywacke 66.01% 13 Shaydee 65.23% 14 Crewbasher 65.09% 15 PCrsl 63.69% 16 petezuke17 63.20% 17 FlashMan 62.03% 18 Saeyddthe 59.27% 19 DamonEsquire 57.28% 20 alf 56.42% 21 BulaJacket 42.17% 22 CubanApex 33.53% 23 matzek73 25.03% 24 themrs. 22.65% 25 patfan1 15.92% 26 burnfan00 6.27% 27 Jc1231 5.13% 28 revolutionfan 3.18% 29 rpi-fan 1.29% 30 Novaflow10 1.16% 31 soccertom 0.00% [b]Points:[/b] [b][i]Rank Name Won Bet[/i][/b] 1 Qdog 8558 11238 2 IASocFan 8458.75 11476 3 tab5g 8139.5 10999 4 AMERICANS SC 7977.25 10382 5 NoSix 7893.25 11179 6 dred 7675 11026 7 firefan2001 7656 10959 8 jlo 7218.25 10073 9 Quango 7153 10683 10 BenC1357 6836.5 9683 11 PCrsl 6696.5 10514 12 DamonEsquire 6532 11403 13 Saeyddthe 6495.5 10959 14 petezuke17 6456.25 10215 15 FlashMan 6390 10302 16 Crewbasher 6344 9747 17 dredgfan 6264.75 9301 18 Greywacke 6259.5 9482 19 Shaydee 5912.75 9065 20 alf 4904.5 8693 21 BulaJacket 3232.25 7664 22 CubanApex 2552.25 7612 23 matzek73 1772.5 7082 24 themrs. 1565.75 6912 25 patfan1 1129.25 7092 26 burnfan00 432.75 6903 27 Jc1231 361.25 7045 28 revolutionfan 220.25 6927 29 rpi-fan 89 6903 30 Novaflow10 80 6903 31 soccertom 0 6903 ____________________________________________________________ Next weeks action: <amount home away> 118 DCU LAG 119 DAL CLB 120 COL HOU 121 NYR TOR 122 NER LAG
26 DCU LAG 181 DAL CLB 28 COL HOU 183 NYR TOR 31 NER LAG RSL finaly paysoff! After a miss or two on wins for them. I figure it would roll eventually. There were some exciting soccer last week and Los Angeles Galaxy are a big question mark here. Team has potential but might not chose to use it. Lets hope Walt Disney is kind and its Week 19 in Major League Baseball as well... A review of Week by Week Results: Week 1- 2-1 West with three ties. Week 2- 3-2 East with two ties. Week 3- 2-2 with a tie. Week 4- 6-2 East with no ties. Week 5- 3-1 East with two ties. Week 6- 2-2 with two ties. Week 7- 4-2 East with two ties. Week 8- 3-2 East with two ties. Week 9- 3-1 East with two ties. Week 10- 4-2 West with no tie. Week 11- 3-2 West with two ties. Week 12- 4-3 West with no tie. Week 13- 2-1 East with three ties. Week 14- 4-4 with four ties. Week 15- 2-2 with two ties. Week 16- 2-0 East with two ties. Week 17- 3-1 East with no tie. Week 18- 2-2 with two ties. East with a 12+ win margin. The West better get a move on because our weather is extremely hot. The dry dirt eventually could start forrest fires which makes its way. Though only about three sever weeks of weather here thus far.
yes, i was amazed by that virtual deadlock in the perf table. yet they're 6 spots apart in the total points table, and their rate of return isn't so tight (jlo is closer to the four players trailing than to IASocFan one spot ahead). but perf is the key to watch, as it's listed first and there's good mathematical reason for it as an indicator. and yes, they are incredibly close.
I look first at rate of return. AMERICANS SC and Qdog are very close there and have a sizable lead on tab5g, who made up a lot of ground last week. Those are the three I'm trying to catch.
If the idea is top 8 make playoffs, I'm in the shite. 182 DCU LAG 97 DAL CLB 125 HOU COL 41 NYR TOR 132 NER LAG
