The sheep seem to say the WNBA western conference is as good as the NBA western conference. Sounds good to me.

Just took them to roll into Washington DC and either USA 4+ or Vancouver

F this game...

Its super frustrating. I tend to just max pick until I get close to W10... then lose within a few picks of that.

I tend to go for the following three monthly goals

1) 70+ wins
2) A W10 or better
3) 60% or better overall

I got off my swapping bnetween winning and losing into a streak of 2.

Pity it was on a loss though.

Going for a bit of a longshot, picking Sporting KC to lose by 1, draw, or win against Man City (who will not be playing their first team).

When it gets late in the month, I tend to slack until the next month starts. Especially in the summertime when it's seemingly all baseball. I don't follow baseball as closely as I used to, and the Astros certainly don't make the prospect any more appealing, lol. I have faith in the owner's long term plan though.

SPKC at WDL1 is not a bad pick since Man City is missing a lot of big names

that did not work out

SPKC putting in their entire second string (11 subs) at half was unexpected

yeahhhhhhhh

And with RSL beating Montreal, that is win #900. Should hit 1000 by mid September

Do you do any wagering, Llama? You and DDD seem like y'all know your stuff.

Nah, I've tried to develop a system before for college football (my poison of preference) but it never got very far.

Nice of them to give us a free point to start the month.

I agree! Then I went and blew it on Tiger Woods...

SPARTAK MOSCOW

good choices are good

GO SPORTING KC

Also, I really hate picking baseball games. I feel like there are so many upsets in a baseball season that there's no such thing as a safe pick in the MLB.

Its habitually one of the hardest things to pick.

That said this month a whole lot as been straight forward so far even with -200 favorites or better are only 4-2 to start the month

W5 on Mariners. I'm going all the way this month. I can feel it. Papa needs a new radiator for his car after some clown got into an accident with me this afternoon and sped off.

I have a system for picking baseball games. I don't pick many of them, but last month I was something like 6-1 in picking baseball.

I keep forgetting to play.

God dammit Nick Rimando keeping me from my streak

Deviated from my system (namely, the "never pick a team more than 5 games below .500" part), prooooobably going to lose.

Stunt days coming up early September. 10k for winner each day

When I picked baseball (both SFTC and Sportsplays) I tend to go by starting pitcher comparison more than team comparison, and it worked pretty well for me.

Broke my PB with Arsenal beating Newcastle United this morning. Sitting on a W12. When you get to double digits... it's such a rush. I'm going for a couple of hockey picks this afternoon. Wish me luck!
