Pools Sports Select ticket winner???

[ruddstud]

So I have a ticket that has 3 losses on it going into tonights game where I have NY winning. The only losses on the pools ticket is NOrleans, Chi, and Denver, all of which nobody would have boxed these games and picked the underdogs to win???? I feel that I have very little chance if NY wins..... any ideas or predictions???

Every week so far except one 13/14 has won it. The other was 12/14. I got 11/14 last week and thought I had a chance. Stupid 13/14. Also you have to remember there is people who make 80$ tickets so they have 4 gimmie games, so game like NO and CHI probably don't matter who they pick.

Won 1200 this week. Ties, ties, TIES!

Also you always have a chance vs the cowboys

I know at least 5 people who won on ties that included the Steelers-Dolphins game. A tie because the linesman screwed up!

Wasn't the Steelers/Dolphins game a sports select tie even without the linesman screwup?

I wouldn't get my hopes up with 11/14. I think even 12 is a long shot, and there is a steady increase in the number of people playing this game every week.

Even though Cleveland won, alot of favorites did too. You would need a much weirder week than this for 11/14 to have a chance.

I think the best way to do pools is find 3 other buddies and each pay 20$ and get the 4 gimmies. If only I knew 3 other people who like gambling and football.

If there was no replay if would have been a Steelers TD and they would have been up by 5. Dolphins were lucky (at the time) to still have 1 timeout remaining in order to challenge or else Sports Select tie people would have been hooped!

But thinking about it yes you are right, if the linesman hadn't blown the whistle, it would have been Dolphins ball on the 20 up by 2.

going into tonights Seattle/St Louis game 15-16.

15 of 16 because I boxed the evening game, so that makes it guaranteed to be 15 of 16 this week...

Only loss was TB at NO, where I took NOleans.....

Will 15 of 16 take a share this week???

Has anyone seen if the wclc posts the number oF tickets bought? I'm curious as to how much of a cut they take.

Nope, and im sure we wont ever. If I were to guess I would say close to 20% cut.

If it is like most WCLC games the cut is closer to 45%

Wouldnt suprise me if some people spend hundreds of dollars on Sports Select Pools with different outcomes on some of the games they are not sure of. If you were to fill in the same games on 5 different tickets and then pick all the clear favorites, then pick different outcomes on the 5 tickets for the remaining games, you could have a shot at winning, as long as theres not lots of upsets..and if you can afford to drop $400 dollars like that, haha.
