mjp28 Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) Is anyone else having trouble with the save picks ? I can make the picks but the save picks button does NOT light up. It won't save. Thanks. ...... edit add ..... the SAVE button came up when I hit all 43 games. Evidently it will not save partial fills, that stinks, I ALMOST ALWAYS DO PARTIAL FILLS AND GO TWEAK LATER. Anyone else find this ? mjp.

There are 43 Bowl games, & you rank them in numerical order. If you picked Marshall today for example, at 27 points, you get 27. If you're not so sure, you'd have taken Marshall for less, like 1-2-3 or 4. I basically comes down to a little luck. You have to gamble a bit to win, on teams you probably didn't even see all year.

Not confident like a "toss up game" low points. I used to like the point spoints -but- now I kind of like the just pick the winner. The trick is how confident are you ? But look out for those upsets ! Easy, huh ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm not much of a gambler so I tend to avoid point spread style games. Actually I'm not much of a "straight up" predictor either as my BB eliminator history shows lol.

All leading up to the Final Four which has been set for awhile. Too bad they can't fix that to the Football Sweet 16 in with the bowl season. I caught part of the very empty Honolulu Bowl beautiful place, no leadup like many, many years past with good teams. And they showed more of the scenery. It seems like it takes forever and then it's gone in a flash. Then March Madness - The NFL Draft and its MLB time again. And before you know it we're back to college football and then the pros. The life cycle of a Sports Nut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. “’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door— Only this and nothing more.” Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December; ( 31st ??? ) And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow;—vainly I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore— For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore— Nameless here for evermore. ....... continued nevermore !
