MLB Tournament, Elite eight.

[TheHandicaper]

(1) Arzoman
(2) DOP
(3) SkyBlues42
(4) ckiernan
(5) The Monarch
(6) iKnowNothing
(7) Captain Cold
(8) TheHandicaper

So, I'd like us to take a vote. The two options are we do seeded playoffs (1) vs (8) / (4) vs (5) - (3) vs (6) / (2) vs (7); or we draw papers from a hat again.

My vote goes for seeded playoffs. Think is the fair thing to do, even if it means I have to go against the #1 seed.

Anyway, you can start posting picks even while the voting is getting done. Again, same requirements and rules.

• 1 run line favorite
• 1 run line underdog
• 2 game unders
• 2 game overs
• 2 underdogs
• 2 favorites
• 2 prop bets
• 8 any kind
  

Last day to make picks is May the 3rd.
You can't directly match or fade your oponents picks from May 1st through May 3rd

And I'm very proud to say (even though I dragged you down), that this group of guys had a 14.67 Units of profit through the first round.
I'll keep a detailed record this round, as to how do we do in particular types of bets and all.

Good luck to all of you. Please vote.

I'm all for seeding.

Hey Handicapper, in an ironic twist of fate, the voice of your avitar and the voice of my avitar is performed by the same guy. I'm not sure exactly what that says, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

FRI April 20th

Pick 1: New York Yankess ML
Pick 2: Cincinnati Reds ML
Pick 3: San Francisco Giants ML

This looks like a blast, but I just missed it last time. When this wraps up, will there be a repeat tournament?

[iKnowNothing]

Seeding seems to be the fair way to play it.

Yeah, but I know Eva Longoria





Reds -140 (3 game series) over Cubs

Voting is 4-0 to seeded playoffs so far, so we just need one more vote to make it official.

Sorry to clog up this thread, but I just had to post that when I found out that the guy who did the voice of Elmo was black, my mind was blown.

Alright, sorry about that. Carry on with what you guys were doing.

There was a double header that day
I suppouse at the time you posted this, there was only one game anounced and that was the early one. So I trust you if you say it is. Can you confirm that?
