    Thanks for the note. I was hoping for siphon, so a suck is certainly more than I could every imagine.

    Sadly, I can't find it now, but there's an old meme in the Turbo (we'll call it a Deni nickname, just so I stay on topic) vs Supercharger debate: If it doesn't suck, it blows.

    And yes, I suck because I've never participated.

    They are Losers. There that is my prediction. The team is trying to lose.

    Predictions are hard, especially about the future.

    I think you should anyway. More participants gives greater variability to the results placement, making good predictions that much more valuable. If I correctly predict the winner but am 20 points off, it's lame that I might still be 2nd place because it's out of only 8.

    You can totally exempt yourself from prize-winning and still play.

    Or maybe the obvious reasons are simply our fragile male egos, and you just don't want to make us feel completely inferior by dominating us month after month. :)

    Come on. I see nothing wrong with you winning your cake and eating it too.

    I think it would be awesome if she then posted pics of her winnings as incentive for more people to challenge her supremacy.

    I am psychic and participating would be cheating. Thus my moral compass will not allow me to bet on anything. I am poor but I am true to myself!

    I challenge the validity of your claim. Bet nothing, but prove me wrong, and maybe I'll convert.

    I don't want to predict the Blazers to lose, doesn't feel right. My homer predictions wouldn't net me many wins. If I play, I play to win.
