Well, here we are at the halfway point. A mixed week, with some thriving, some diving. paulo's our runaway winner this week, with a hefty 95+, good enough for a 8 spot jump into the 1st division. Not too surprising given that he didn't get a single game wrong and didn't bet the farm on the draws. Quango coasts to Play of the Week, with a big & bold bet on the Burn. ChangeT nets second place by forgetting to blow the Burn-Quakes game until after the match was over. Kind of like in Final Destination when the guy has a premonition and misses his plane which proceeds to explode. burnfan00 finishes a close third and cracks the first division up 6 spots. Meanwhile furie takes the lo-roll express to fourth street. That performance was good enough for a four spot move to number 8. Chance played a role as furie had already used up all picks under 40, and thus those accurate bets basically got quadrupled. Look! Up in the sky. It's a bird, it's a fish... it's Bilfish, riding lucky 7's all the way to a top five finish. At number 33 he must be finding that second wind. (Or is the first?) BenC1357's mailed in picks were good enough to move him up to number 2, and keep him on top of the Percentage table, ahead of that pesky administrator who slips into sixth spot. Otherwise, not a whole lot of movement this week. Not one but two wednesday games this week so get crackin'. *FAQ and your remaining bets are available on the WPL status page.* ____________________________________________________________ Play Of The Week: Quango, for the bet of 126 on DAL over SJE Weekly Cup: 1 paulo 95.73 2 ChangeT 59.476 3 burnfan00 54.43 4 furie 43.13 5 bilfish 31.282 Code: [size=3][b]Division 1[/b][/size] [size=2][b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Bet Won[/i][/b][/size] 1 1 Deimos -20.66 -73.24 464 241.25 2 4 BenC1357 -140.80 -23.45 534 363 3 2 firefan2001 -177.09 -77.48 523 287 4 3 Revolt -209.45 -96.22 538 291.75 5 5 Scribe -216.96 -29.71 547 358.75 6 7 dred -239.62 23.01 560 415.5 7 6 Northside Rovers -270.81 -50.14 447 240 8 12 furie -377.78 43.13 328 243.25 9 9 Qdog -388.99 -48.97 579 363.75 10 8 jlo -427.15 -154.61 263 0 11 11 mikesterw -428.31 -13.72 369 216.25 12 10 guamster -461.62 -74.69 632 385.25 13 15 Robert Lanza -464.44 22.19 534 413.25 14 17 ChangeT -500.33 59.48 424 353.5 15 23 paulo -537.80 95.73 393 350 16 16 FlashMan -567.81 -11.80 481 318.5 17 14 NoSix -597.83 -115.89 637 353.5 18 13 rebel77fl -606.45 -147.65 474 187 19 19 tab5g -632.04 -29.72 458 269.25 20 26 burnfan00 -639.37 54.43 400 308.75 [size=3][b]Division 2[/b][/size] [size=2][b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Bet Won[/i][/b][/size] 21 22 Greywacke -654.77 -25.11 508 327.75 22 21 tolbuck -684.28 -67.17 671 433.5 23 24 equakesfan -703.40 -69.45 650 426.25 24 25 IASocFan -705.92 -57.85 583 364.25 25 18 Crewbasher -729.89 -128.24 304 80.5 26 27 petezuke17 -776.94 -37.64 562 375.75 27 29 Quango -778.57 21.33 559 417.75 28 20 SObearCAL -846.50 -241.96 385 0 29 31 OGx3 -847.78 -5.93 481 331.25 30 30 MouseyTongue -912.13 -110.64 660 365 31 28 jackrock -929.21 -135.54 534 245.75 32 35 sljohn -960.19 4.83 504 357 33 37 bilfish -994.98 31.28 405 289.5 34 32 soccernutter -1,066.57-186.43 309 0 35 34 encinitas -1,122.68-181.43 557 217.5 36 33 babytiger2001 -1,125.46-194.70 564 202.5 37 40 Jose L.

I won something! Woohoo. Really, I owe thanks to whomever it was that said "The away teams always win the Wednesday games," and then promptly bet on San Jose. I saw that and said, "Hmm... maybe I'll bet big on Dallas." Thanks! Quango
That, unfortunately, would be me, who racked up a -115 score for the week thanks in no small part to a -118 for that particular match. You're welcome?!
A personal challenge if I ever heard one! If I can't finish top, at least I can finish ahead of Mr. NoSix!

I told you all to watch out! I've yet to get play of the week or top earner of the week. Consistency is key.
