    Yes, but is 11 the "optimal" bet for a 1-goal victory? ;)

    Guess you better get cracking on that new performance formula :p

    PS: I don't know why, but I'm thinking a bet of 7 is about optimal...

    In other words, you're figuring that no more than 4 of the 11 playoff games will be decided by more than 1 point (?).

    FWIW. Last year 7 of the 11 playoff matches (and 6 of 10 first-round games) were multi-goal victories.

    No, just making a wisecrack, because I bet 7 on COL! :D

    Colorado is the only team almost guarenteed to get a result at home, and since it's the only guarenteed Rapids home game, I went for it (and got a little lucky). I may save 8-10 for the last three games, though, because they are the only ones that can't be ties. Then I just have to guess right!

    I think Couso and I should get some sort of honorable mention for being the only players to bet more than a point on the Revs this week. OK, so we each only bet 2, but considering the amount of bets for the Crew this week, a little (OK, very little) boldness in the opposite direction should earn some credit.

    That being said, a bet of 11 for COL is just plain incredible. Nice one, Quango.

    I should be rewarded slightly more for not being a Revolution fan! :D

    See you at RFK in two weeks! ;)

    AHEM, some of us Revs fans (OK, maybe just one...me) have a bit more faith in the team and deserve some mention. I went "all in" 11 on the Revs! Oh yeah, baby!

    Too bad KC didn't come through for me, I was 3 for 3 yesterday.

    Oh yeah, I didn't notice that one. But as I was typing out that previous post, I was wondering "How on Earth could Mousey not have bet more than 1?", but I was to lazy to go back and check. Whoops. Anyway, nice pick, man.

    But I still say Jose and I should get some props. ;)
