My girlfriend won it with a score of 172...two guys finished tied for second with 171 points.

three people cracking 62.6% over the course of 273 points is really something

Coach, if you send me your address, I'll ship you a nice calculator for Christmas.

As it turns out, I have a calculator on my phone.

Calculations reveal that a player can go 34-44 and earn 175 points in that contest.

That's a 43.6% winning percentage.

Looks like some serious handicapping to me.

To me, it looks like that's not a serious contest.

People were signing up for LineMasters and just putting in random picks so they could see who she took each week .

Like I said...not a serious contest.

How much did she win for finishing 10 games under .500?

That's undoubtedly how it played out, coach.

Now, care to report what the odds are against somebody winning 63% of points while winning 44% of games? How many standard deviations is that off chance?

Sports betting is a little more sophisticated than you imagine, coach. Points/units are considered money measures. ROR is a standard evaluation. Maybe you knew all that and thought you were tweaking me.

I love you, man. You really don't get it. I want you to keep doing what you do.

Now, if you wanted to know what her game record was, you could have just asked, as that's listed on the site. Going back years. But you'll have to ask nicely. You seem to think there's some hidden negative because I didn't mention a game record when winning was based on points. But I'd never do that, coach. I'd wait for you to play gotcha.

LOL. I'll double check her game record, just for you, coach. Do you really believe anyone could pull off that 44% thing while racking up 175 points. Do you understand how likely that is, coach?



Coach, you like to focus on teeny probabilities, which is why you've gotten your (undoubtedly very sexy) ass kicked gambling all these years. No offense intended.

I love you, man. You're the gift that keeps giving.
