Well, there's that. A marathon of a year, with much decided by who had the stamina to stick it out to the end. dred finishes strong to claim the title with a fourth place finish despite being in Div 2 at the All Star break, but it's FlashMan who takes home the final Weekly Cup on the back of his gutsy road KC call. His late push was just enough to win D1 promotion on the final day of the season! firefan2001 falls a tragic 5 points short of Div 1 despite an outstanding final week, getting KC right and only missing on 2 games. pdid10 had nothing but microrolls left for ammo, but bet on 8 road teams including Colorado and darned if he didn't almost win the Cup in this shaky week. He finishes just 20 odd points short of the top 10. If was vividox, however, securing top 10 glory in the final week thanks to lowrolling the first 8 games and betting big on Seattle. ZipSix scores the final Play of the Week for the big Houston finale. Congrats to IASocFan for skipping 3 spots at the last minute to join dred, Mucky, petezuke17, hitit345 in the final top 5. Also congrats to ceezmad who, despite getting crushed, actually manages to climb that one last spot to D1. Stay tuned for MLS Playoff WPL! *Remaining bets embedded in post.* Last week's thread. ____________________________________________________________ Play Of The Week: ZipSix, for the bet of 294 on HOU over LAG Weekly Cup: 1 FlashMan 66.15881 2 firefan2001 49.83727 3 pdid10 15.42255 4 dred 9.910774 5 vividox -3.458832 Code: [b]Division 1[/b] [b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Bet Won[/i][/b] 1 1 dred 1,164.69 9.91 1726 1192.75 2 4 petezuke17 291.19 -191.01 1700 1039 3 3 Mucky 157.69 -429.39 2661 1595.5 4 5 hitit345 22.94 -64.65 1665 1115.25 5 8 IASocFan -181.56 -68.33 1498 1006 6 7 tolbuck -224.56 -115.39 1923 1253.75 7 10 Quango -368.56 -123.37 2292 1626 8 12 vividox -441.06 -3.46 491 318.25 9 6 Geneva -513.56 -449.46 1841 994.75 10 9 tab5g -533.31 -390.02 1420 653 11 13 pdid10 -554.56 15.42 148 91.75 12 11 StillKickin -696.56 -316.39 2475 1582.25 13 2 shurikt -853.31 -1,657.422287 0 14 15 Andy Zilis -978.06 -137.68 1687 1061 15 14 Revolt -1,261.06 -444.30 2707 1627.75 16 16 ZipSix -1,315.81 -452.55 1611 695.5 17 20 FlashMan -1,778.81 66.16 2261 1710.75 18 19 ceezmad -2,122.81 -344.36 2079 1169.75 [b]Division 2[/b] [b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Bet Won[/i][/b] 19 22 firefan2001 -2,127.81 49.84 2066 1502 20 18 SquareBall -2,212.06 -501.84 2001 959.75 21 21 Forza La Juve -2,300.81 -168.21 2621 1816.75 22 17 ArkUnited -2,843.56 -1,924.292561 0 23 24 ChefJim27 -4,900.05 -1,956.842594 0 24 23 for the Burgundy-4,958.56 -2,105.692737 0 25 25 equakesfan -7,374.31 -2,156.492788 0 26 26 lurking -10,168.80 -2,248.022875 0 27 27 Matt in the Hat -16,950.55 -2,150.962783 0 28 28 mustangdan15 -19,038.79 -2,387.883005 0 29 29 SixKick -22,089.80 -2,296.162920 0 30 30 Qdog -22,977.80 -2,372.822991 0 31 31 BulaJacket -25,377.80 -2,375.922994 0 32 32 dadcoachref -25,389.80 -2,142.542775 0 33 33 dredgfan -25,995.80 -2,289.582914 0 34 34 DamonEsquire -26,471.05 -2,237.312865 0 35 35 buckeyes1130 -29,281.80 -2,371.592990 0 36 36 brontosaur -30,461.30 -2,398.783015 0 [b]Division 3[/b] [b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Bet Won[/i][/b] 37 37 broder -31,070.55 -2,385.793003 0 38 38 alf -31,586.05 -2,398.783015 0 39 39 El_Poblano -31,883.80 -2,398.783015 0 40 40 I<3NJ -31,899.05 -2,398.783015 0 41 41 VanderDeckenIX -31,919.55 -2,398.783015 0 42 42 Autogolazo -31,975.05 -2,394.443011 0 43 43 MrHobbles -32,245.80 -2,385.763003 0 [b]Rate of Return:[/b] [b][i]Rank Name Percent[/i][/b] 1 dred 72.51% 2 petezuke17 70.65% 3 Mucky 70.37% 4 hitit345 70.08% 5 IASocFan 69.65% 6 tolbuck 69.55% 7 Quango 69.25% 8 vividox 69.09% 9 Geneva 68.94% 10 tab5g 68.90% 11 pdid10 68.85% 12 StillKickin 68.55% 13 shurikt 68.22% 14 Andy Zilis 67.95% 15 Revolt 67.35% 16 ZipSix 67.23% 17 FlashMan 66.25% 18 ceezmad 65.51% 19 firefan2001 65.50% 20 SquareBall 65.32% 21 Forza La Juve 65.13% 22 ArkUnited 63.98% 23 ChefJim27 59.60% 24 for the Burgundy 59.48% 25 equakesfan 54.33% 26 lurking 48.38% 27 Matt in the Hat 33.95% 28 mustangdan15 29.50% 29 SixKick 23.00% 30 Qdog 21.11% 31 BulaJacket 16.00% 32 dadcoachref 15.98% 33 dredgfan 14.69% 34 DamonEsquire 13.68% 35 buckeyes1130 7.69% 36 brontosaur 5.18% 37 broder 3.88% 38 alf 2.79% 39 El_Poblano 2.15% 40 I<3NJ 2.12% 41 VanderDeckenIX 2.08% 42 Autogolazo 1.96% 43 MrHobbles 1.38% [b]Points:[/b] [b][i]Rank Name Won Bet[/i][/b] 1 dred 34059.7546971 2 petezuke17 33186.2546971 3 Mucky 33052.7546971 4 hitit345 32918 46971 5 IASocFan 32713.5 46971 6 tolbuck 32670.5 46971 7 Quango 32526.5 46971 8 vividox 32454 46971 9 Geneva 32381.5 46971 10 tab5g 32361.7546971 11 pdid10 32340.5 46971 12 StillKickin 32198.5 46971 13 shurikt 32041.7546971 14 Andy Zilis 31917 46971 15 Revolt 31634 46971 16 ZipSix 31579.2546971 17 FlashMan 31116.2546971 18 ceezmad 30772.2546971 19 firefan2001 30767.2546971 20 SquareBall 30683 46971 21 Forza La Juve 30594.2546971 22 ArkUnited 30051.5 46971 23 ChefJim27 27995 46971 24 for the Burgundy 27936.5 46971 25 equakesfan 25520.7546971 26 lurking 22726.2546971 27 Matt in the Hat 15944.5 46971 28 mustangdan15 13856.2546971 29 SixKick 10805.2546971 30 Qdog 9917.25 46971 31 BulaJacket 7517.25 46971 32 dadcoachref 7505.25 46971 33 dredgfan 6899.25 46971 34 DamonEsquire 6424 46971 35 buckeyes1130 3613.25 46971 36 brontosaur 2433.75 46971 37 broder 1824.5 46971 38 alf 1309 46971 39 El_Poblano 1011.25 46971 40 I<3NJ 996 46971 41 VanderDeckenIX 975.5 46971 42 Autogolazo 920 46971 43 MrHobbles 649.25 46971 [b]Available Bets:[/b] dred petezuke17 Mucky hitit345 IASocFan tolbuck Quango vividox Geneva tab5g pdid10 StillKickin shurikt Andy Zilis Revolt ZipSix FlashMan ceezmad firefan2001 SquareBall Forza La Juve ArkUnited ChefJim27 for the Burgundy equakesfan lurking Matt in the Hat mustangdan15 SixKick Qdog BulaJacket dadcoachref dredgfan DamonEsquire buckeyes1130 brontosaur broder alf El_Poblano I<3NJ VanderDeckenIX Autogolazo MrHobbles ____________________________________________________________
I stayed in first division! "Also congrats to ceezmad who, despite getting crushed, actually manages to climb that one last spot to D1." I would like to thank Squareball for making worst picks than me this final week.
after a poor year with infighting and poor efforts throughout, I, like the NYRB, am content to back into the 10th spot of the regular season table and am ready for a massive post-season run.
Oh, my very first play of the week. Lovely. Congrats to our league champion, dred. May you bask in ever loving sunshine from now until the start of the next season when we will take our revenge. Sad to note that had I bet $1 on every point I wagered, I would have lost $15,391.75.
Congrats to dred!! Just wished I could have made a better push to defend the title, but you walked away with this one the last few weeks!! Also major thanks to dred for running this again!!!
Thanks to dred for all the hard work on putting this together. And congratulations on your victory! Drat, I finished out of the top 10 for the first time. But the way I finished these last few weeks, I'm happy to stay in Div. I.
Another Weekly Cup!!! Wa-hoo!!! My first trip to Division 1 in about 5 months!!! Wa-hoo!! Everybody give dred rep for not only running this league all year but for winning the Supporters Shield of the WPL. Outstanding effort on his part all the way around. What a comeback!!
Thank you, dred, awesome game and awesome season win for you. I'm happy to finish in the top 10, especially how extremely poorly I did these last few weeks. On to the playoffs!! I'm going to miss the MLS regular season and these threads.
Thanks all! Special thanks to lurking and shurikt for finding something useful to do with their lives and giving the rest of us a shot at glory.
Thanks for running this dred and well played - I had a lot of fun with it. Looking forward to the playoffs.
