Hi B-N...

After games are finished, I post a thread with the game results and the season to date standings.

That is followed by a second, separate thread, which is posted requesting participants' picks for the following MVC game.

Somewhere on the Basketball Fan Talk Forum, earlier than the thread requesting Game 11 picks, you will find a thread reporting Game 10 Results and Season To Date Pick Em Contest Standings....

Along with some witty banter by the host of this Pick Em Contest!

thanks for info-have been suffering in tucson for last 3 days and now I have to go back to that cold IL weather

I know I'm late posting, so you don't have to count the first game, though I will guess it anyway without looking at the score:

ISU red
MSU
Creighton
WSU
Evansville

Congratulations to the 2 posters who picked DU vs WSU tonight: bradleyfan1 and THE PENNY!

Who is the Penny? I just went through the two pages of pickers- and I only saw Bradley fans with the Drake pick?

I don't think it's a who, but a real penny that picks winners randomly.

"THE PENNY" .... Fact* or Fiction?

'THE PENNY' was introduced in the first season of the MVC Regular Season Game Pick Em contest to see if BF.com poster participants were better at picking contest winners than just tossing a coin.



'THE PENNY' uses a very simple method to make its picks for each match up.

AZ BU Fan simply flips 'THE PENNY' for each game match up.

Heads = the home team wins; Tails = the visiting team wins.

Participants who fail to beat 'THE PENNY' are rewarded with a

Penny's picks for Game 11:

SIU
MSU
BU
DU
ISUB

Through Saturday's games, THE PENNY has picked 25 out of 55 games correctly, for a success rate of 45.5%.

Our 2011-12 Pick Em Contest leader, wily coyote, has picked 40 out of 55 games correctly, for a success rate of 72.7%.

* Then again, THE PENNY, could be AZ BU Fan's own picks in disguise Doubtful, since there would be no way AZ BU Fan would have picked DU over WSU



Nice, teeth!
