"Mock Hilton Contest"........Week #6.........Post Your 5 Picks Here.
Ah oh well, guess I was still 5-0 anyway, so guess it didn't matter.
I bow in awe. I've been tracking all games for 9 years and yesterday was, by a couple of galaxies, my worst day ever and my 0-5 here was just a part of how bad I was overall. I put money on three games, and lost all three. I recently saw a stat on Big Al, something like 5-13, and I told my wife, "I couldn't be that bad if I tried." I humbly retract. I had an 0-5 because of being late but never considered the possibility of having an actual 0-5. It's official, I suck. :D

Haha, it's happened to the best of us. I'm not sure what it was this week but I liked almost every underdog and it actually came through. That never happens.
My internet was down from Saturday morning until about a 1/2 hr ago. To post when I did I had to drive around my neighborhood with my laptop and search for an unsecured wi-fi network. I had no idea (although I guess I should have) that we had to post by Saturday night. That's freakin' insane to post 11 1/2 hrs before the games start and be late, but whatever. What ever happened to the 1 hr before game time?

dragon, here is the official rule from the real Hilton contest.
8. Contestants must submit their weekly selections to the SuperBook by 11:00 am each Saturday morning, except when contestant
wishes to use any game that starts before this deadline. If a contestant wishes to use any game that is scheduled to start before this
deadline, their weekly selections must be submitted prior to the start of those games. Any contestant who fails to submit their weekly
selections by 11:00 am Saturday will be awarded zero points that week. THIS TIME DEADLINE WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED.
Yeah, well I can see why they do it as they have 7000 entries to deal with. I know we're mocking the Hilton but the deadline might be taking it a little too far. BTW, the 12AM EST deadline gives the east coast until midnight, or the entire day, but the west coast only has until 9PM.
