The hockey gods have rewarded me with my first ever weekly tally win, yeehaw! Might have taken me four years but the wait was well worth it for my faltering ego heehe.
Another week, another chance for success....cheers friends!
I regret nothing! ��
Congrats blitz
No regrets about the pizza at the JAR, blazer?

I, too, once won for a week, and even a season, several years ago. But, those days are way back in the rear view mirror now.![]()
Front row
Still waffling as I run some Monte Carlo simulations.

Tough week for points, as only 4 people earned 6 points in 12 games. Congrats to Acohen527, Blazer777, Laker Dude and Zyklon. I'm never going to climb up the standings if I keep having 3 point weeks

For fun, I added Chris Lerch and Dan Rubin's picks into the spreadsheet. They don't pick ties, and they gave themselves credit for missing some picks (the 2 games on Thursday 10/19 - Dan "earned" 2 points, Chris 1), so their posted total won't match mine.
Dan has 27 points, Chris has 31. I'll keep them in the standings in the future.
Woo hoo! We have three pickers ahead of Chris and 10 ahead of Dan!
I do not think that our two points for picking a tie is a huge advantage, if any advantage at all, although it would be interesting to learn the stats on that.

Sorry that my team let you down, blazer, as you could have been all alone in second place.
There have been 61 games so far. Among those 61 games, our 24 participants (who have not all picked every week) have picked 87 ties. 8 Games have ended in a tie, and that has been correctly picked 13 times (so 74 ties have been incorrecty predicted).
Here is a breakdown by username.

Not really sure what to do with this data, but if you want any more data, let me know.
So, overall, tie pickers get it right less than 16% of the time. Not sure that those percentages are worth the two points. But, I have been right on tie picks 33% of the time (1 for 3). What to do, what to do?
