    I still think missing a game should not be allowed as if you have a correct streak going all you need do is deliberately skip the last game to win.

    This is exactly what RayDavies did to win the reg.season contest, predicting exactly 70% of the games (58) and taking no further risk.

    If you expect to miss a game, predict all of them now in advance.

    If RayDavies wanted to take less risk, he only needed to predict 66% of the games. The rules have been 66% (actually 66.6%) of the games and 7 of the past 10.

    Ray missed the first part of the season and then once he started participating in the game, participated very regularly.

    DO NOT PREDICT GAMES IN THIS THREAD

    This thread is about the rules/prizes for the playoff predictions game, not for actual predictions itself.

    It was confusing because you posted a link to this thread in another prediciton thread.

    No problem. I just thought that since this one was sometimes more recent than the actual prediction thread, I ought to post a warning.

    You know what? Nobody likes your ridiculous posts, and man-crush on Sergio. "Bake it" has gone stale. You obviously have completely lost touch with reality and I don't know why you are posting this, but I will have you know that I didn't have a 'strategy' of guessing fewer games, I just came to the prediction game late. I won. You didn't. If you didn't predict 99-98 every game, you might have a chance.

    Suck it up, and grow up.

    Scoreboard, bitch.
