Qwijib0 posted:evil roadmap feature, just count no-picks as losses to end all the confusion about "what is a winner" The game is picking winners, if you did not pick a winner that week, you did not succeed. I can't tell if you're serious about this being a roadmap feature because no less than two dozen well-intentioned people have said this in the past three or so seasons of Eliminator only for elfurbe to write some epic meltdown about how "you people just don't understand the game" and how it's such a hassle to have to run it or have people offer suggestions about how it's run. elfurbe posted:I'll offer this unambiguous statement on behalf of the entire Eliminator team: we will never change this scoring system on these games. Not ever. There are only so many ways to say no, the answer continues to be no. barnold fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Oct 30, 2019 |

These teams I thought would not make the spread, but they did. I am not good at figuring out who will fail to beat the spread.  To be clear, this is my reverse spread eliminator record, and I've never done this badly in any of the games in several years of playing.

Vikings @ Chiefs (-2.5 at CBS), I'm looking at you. as of right now, westgate, william hill and MGM are not taking bets on that game either. It sucks for everyone, so it's still a level field. https://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/odds/las-vegas/ if there's no line set, you can't bet at a real casino, why should fake money be any different?

"Counting a no-pick as a loss" would change nothing about the scoring except the display of the results. It does not change the game at all, just simplifies the results table.

I have spent a lot of time trying to bust the myth that divisional games are inherently risky. Their share of upsets is on par with their share of total games. However, I might start subscribing to the "don't bet on the Bucs" narrative, and add the Jags to that mix. So far this decade I'm right 85% of the time on games that don't involve the Bucs or Jags, and just 65% on games that do. Those are the ultimate "any given Sunday" teams because they can beat or lose to literally anyone.

i should have picked the bills instead of the packers, because the bills won and the packers haven't won yet. they can lose.

Well, I was the last one standing in reverse spread, but I forgot the #2 rule of eliminator (#1 being avoid division games): never count on the Chargers for anything, win or loss.

The dolphins failed to lose by more than 3 to the jets, thus extending my losing streak in reverse spread eliminator to 9 games. At this point I should get the #1 pick next year. That's how that works, right?

I know "no divisional games" is the #1 unwritten rule but it's the Saints at home against the Falcons. They're gonna loving destroy them Also as you can see I've already been wrong three times already so this is more just for my own sake and I'll bet how I feel like!

They're gonna loving destroy them I'm pretty sure the Saints at least once (2015) came out of nowhere (1-4) to fuckin' wreck an undefeated Falcons' season, so it's totally possible the Falcons could get their poo poo together just this once. But really I don't want you to gently caress this up for the Saints, thanks.

The last 16 bloodbath games (25+ people selected): 2019 week 5, KC vs Ind 2019 week 4, LAR vs TB 2018 week 14, Pit at Oak 2018 week 14, Den at SF 2018 week 11, Ari vs Oak 2018 week 10, Phi vs Dal* 2018 week 3, Min vs Buf 2018 week 1, NO vs TB* 2017 week 17, Sea vs Ari* 2017 week 14, Cin vs Chi 2017 week 11, KC at NYG 2017 week 9, Sea vs Was 2017 week 9, Hou vs Ind* 2017 week 6, Atl vs Mia 2017 week 6, Den vs NYG 2017 week 5, Pit vs Jac Starred games are divisional: just 4 of 16, despite being 6 out of every 16 games played. Divisional games are not more likely to be bloodbaths.

Ditch posted:The last 16 bloodbath games (25+ people selected): That doesn't mean divisional games are harder to predict. It means that those four divisional bloodbath games looked so much like sure things that people were willing to violate the "no divisional games" rule. And it cost them.

Looking at it another way, over that period there were 20 games where divisional games were potential bloodbaths. The favorite went 16-4. There were 61 non-divisional potential bloodbaths, and the favorite went 46-16. Divisional game "rule" is dumb as hell.

Looking at this week, the only two games I feel good about using in eliminator are both divisional games. The third, Dolphins @ Colts is iffy because man if the Colts are on their 3rd string QB....
