Mine was ended picking Texas over USC in a late game, I questioned doing that after getting a lucky W with Atlanta over Tampa, but decided to roll with it and it cost me.

I had 10 earlier this year.

I have had a 6 streak this month already. It's fun, gives me something to do.

Back in 2000, I won $2,500 one time playing the ESPN 3Play. I was just a few points away from winning the top money amount -- cannot remember how much it was.

I really liked the 3Play game.

I dont know why I picked the Texas game, should have stayed with 7 and picked 1 per day till I lost.

I had my 7 game streak snapped last night by Troy Polamalu's hair. Longest last month was 9 and looking back at my history I've had 4 or 5 9 game streaks.

Last month I had a streak of 14.

I started late, and was trying to pick like 3 games a day to see if I could catch up...and I almost did.

This month...I'm up to 2.

Whoever gets the highest streak each month gets $100,000. They also have a cash prize for whoever wins the most in a month, doesn't have to be in a row.

That's how it's set up this year. Last year, or the year before, it was whoever had the highest streak for the whole year while also having the monthly give away for whoever won the most in a month.

last month's winner had 23 in a row I think. Usually somewhere between 22-25 will win it.

Then on Christmas Day this year they are doing something where the person with the longest streak on that day will win 10,000

Did anyone else see where they said the contest's prizes and such will be changing up next year?

I did this for a while and decided it was a waste of time...I think my highest was 8 or so.

Also started to do centssports and found this to be a waste of time.

Looks like it's going to end at 14 this month. I picked Steve Nash to have more points + assists than Nowitzki has points in the first half of the game. Probably should have won that...but Nash went down 4 minutes into the game and isn't coming back. I'm probably fucked now...because I highly doubt that Dirk is going to be held to less than 5 points in the first half.

This thing is so god-damn frustrating!

Yeah I've been spinning my tires this month. I took a week off and got back into it today, I had Nash. I may wait until the Christmas Day thing they have going and will have to be glued to my phone for the day.

My biggest mistake was trying to get too many wins early.

On December 5th I already had a W7

Like I said above, I got a little greedy and rolled with Texas that night and lost. I should have just been smart about it and went with sure fire picks.

I have a W7 going now which is my longest streak Ive ever had and I really want to get into double digits just one time. The picks for today are a little tough.
