ESPN Streak For The Cash

Nascar1966 · #1 04-09-2010, 04:45 PM

Is anyone else playing this fun contest? It has a monthly prize of $100,000. You have to have the longest streak for the month to win the monthly. Lots of different sports involved in this contest. Im thinking of trying to set up a group for any DTers if they are interested.

I guess no one wants to win 100,000 in a contest that is free to enter. Probably its me. I could care less if its me.

I've been playing from the beginning. It is fun and keeps me interested in games and sports that I normally wouldn't care about. It also can be quite frustrating....

Major league baseball has one on their site, its called beat the streak. http://mlb.mlb.com/index.jsp.
You have to pick one hitter a day and obviously you need them to get a hit. Pick the right guy for 57 days and you win like 3 million (or something like that). It's pretty cool, especially if you like baseball.

I wonder if anyone picked Joe Dimaggio back in the day and that's why it's at 57 games

Do you know of another other DTer'S playing Streak? Would love to form a private group for us DTer's.

Probably not, everyone back then was too busy going to the track.

I hovered around .500 with soccer in '08-'09, but I have gotten considerably better lately because I have become a bit more choosey (42-24 in 2010). I'm trying to stay away from the lower level leagues/games and that has helped.

So far this year some how I am 26-9. The bad part is I have been too much of a chicken to pick some of the matches. I would of won them. Before this year I was stinking it up in soccer. Seems like this year soccer has been going according more also.

I got up to 14 a few years ago in the MLB beat the streak. Never got close to that again

Your more than welcome to join the group. Im currently at a L4, hoping to avoid an L5 wing Bangalore in cricket. Its fun at times but it can be frustrating.
