Mike Richards' Picks This Morning

[JerzeeGirl]

Did anyone catch the picks Mike made this morning for hockey?
I caught:

game 62 - NYR over NJD
game 65 - OTT over NSH
game 66 - SJS over TBL
game 67 - CLB over EDM
game 69 - LAK over DAL

But if I made the $15 bet he was planning to make, I come out with just a $330 winning ticket not $600....so perhaps I'm being an idiot but am curious if I did miss a game.

Thanks!

I know they had a $25 ticket for $9000 payout but I totally missed the games. It was CFB, NFL and hockey IIRC.

Those I actually caught - the hockey games were almost a throw-away mention and while I thought I got them all, I'm not so sure now I can't recreate the winning total! (I could just be having a dumb moment of course...)

The $25 ticket for a potential $9800 winner is:

10/22/09
Outright - Florida State over North Carolina (FTB)

10/23/09
Outright - Hamilton over Toronto (FTB)

10/24/09
Outright - Iowa over Mich State (FTB)
Outright - Boston College over North Dakota (FTB)

10/25/09
Outright - Atlanta over Dallas (FTB)
Tie - Minnesota/Pittsburgh (FTB)
Tie - Arizona/NY Giants (FTB)

I should probably use his picks. Last week I proved that a random chance generator on my iphone was better at picking winners than I am.

edit: 15 games on Saturday ... time to get my sitting/gambling pants ready.

I'm in a pool where you have to pick the winners every Saturday, and I have realised how horrible I am at that. I guess I'm in the middle of the pack...but its really hard to do well in my experience!

Funnily enough, that's what my friend and I have decided to do - we were tired of throwing in money on the 6/49 tickets and figure Richards wins more often so we're gonna follow his picks for the next while and see what happens. Even a small jackpot of his wins back our investment so it seems like a good idea.
