Sorry to hear that.
Every thought about starting up a new account on a different app?

Nah. Good luck to you.

 

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Sounds fun. Thanks Tanko.

The first poster to hit the dubious grand slam of A’s, White Sox, Rockies and Marlins, I’ll send $25 via BTC.

Just say $25 in CRYPTO otherwise you'll end up paying $20 in fees alone!

On principle alone, I'll play to get THIS prize even if it reduces my chances of being #1 overall

pick #1 (Fri 7/19)

Chicago White Sox at Royals

(teams covered:

0/30)

 

[dhristov211]

Tanko, do you want posters quoting every team they covered? In a month from now when everyone covers at least 5-10 teams, it means every post will take up a lot of space.

You may want to post a sample for us to follow? Just to keep things more organized

Those teams are going to be the one still lingering for most come Sept 29th.

This is an old contest LT Profits would always run across the street. In those threads, posters kept track various ways. Some list every team and then add the date they covered with each team next to the team name (see below). They cut/paste their list in subsequent daily posts.

Some would just keep a running list of teams that you've covered with (see 2nd example below).

I will be tracking the picks as well but, for posters that want to keep their picks organized, they should probably have their own tracking system or they will be searching through the entire thread trying to remember their old picks.

Only thing I hate about using the iPhone is when copy/pasting from notepad it adds spaces.

Is it because they are numbered?
Try this short list of teams w/out the number. See if it spaces it out.

Arizona DBacks
Atlanta Braves
Baltimore O's

Looking back at the last time this contest was run across the street (2020) it only took 44 days to get through all 30 teams with 3 posters tying.

Also, they posted the spreadsheet on google.documents showing picks.
I might do the same and just provide the link to the document.

Thanks, this is great. I like the option of not having to keep track and just...swing away

Whoa up Sleepy.
I want to see how much work its going to be first before I commit to using google.docs. I'm not too familiar with it yet.

 

[sleepy_mario]

I can't even commit to logging in daily to make picks in a month long contest.

I genuinely admire people who manage to do what you do, and a couple of others here on BMR

I'll have to whip out good ole pen&paper and come up with strategy to beat all them opponents. $250 is calling my name, Sir!

Tanko, here at BMR we need to do better than across the street.

I’m expecting a video update from you every morning, while drinking coffee and pantless.

Let me know if you can access this file. I'm testing google docs out to post the standings.
