you are that greedy? we both know all games wont end 2-2 or 3-2.

i rly feel bad becus i spent 15k fg myself and u dont even try to think real score, just pick most common all time.

new rule idea: you can pick one score only once?


It has nothing to do with greediness. There is a reason I RARELY go into freerolls. I would rather the fg be spread around to people who need it more.

see i disagree. theres still plenty of room for strategy in this game. if i kept the rules the same everyone would now choose the same score becuase they see it works so it basically becomes a goal scorer game


It would have never been an issue. My picks were one of the first posted. If everyone felt that way they would have just copy/pasted mine. Here was my thought process when doing this game: The average over/under is 5 or 5.5 per game. Playoff games tend to be very close. A team is more likely to score 3 goals in a game than 4. Home teams are favoured. Hence 3-2 scores all around. This wasn't to save time. This was a calculated strategy. To deny that is pretty stupid. That's how I feel at least. Especially if you reset the scores. If you reset the scores here, you should do it in the other game too. Also deny people who picked more players from the cup favourites.

Then the winner is the one who varies it just enough to get the edge, like canuckzzz did. I literally just used a random number generator in excel with specific parameters and got a better score than 2-3 across the board. It's not a godmode strategy, don't treat it like one.

Frankly it's gonna average out to turn into a goal scorer game anyway.

Like I said, make your rule, I'll gladly find a way around it while using the same strategy. Just seems lame and unnecessary to me.


i appreciate the input and its something ill consider for next year but for now id like to try it my and see if it works.

i went 4-2 all around and im pretty close to the bottom :(


but really, my opinion is that well make a payout after the 1st round before resetting the scores

I personally thinking picking the same score is lame, sure its a strategy but its lame.
Should put a limit on the number of same score games, like 5 or something.

Either way, regardless of who donated and how much, as DD stated it is jbell's game, he is the runner, he decides the rules. Halfway through or not, still his game. It's a freeroll, you're not obliged to play
