And lastly, a reminder of the stakes on offer

 

[Dirty Bird]

3XKO Update for final week 17

As both Island Bomber and Bloods_33 both got it wrong last week tipping Seattle both go through to the final week. If no outright winner can be found this week it will come down to the highest CR score for this week between the two of them as the tie-breaker.

Good luck to both.

Actually
I have Island Bomber winning 3xko

I have Bloods_33 on 4 strikes

Strike 1 - Week 3 - New Orleans defeat Seattle
Strike 2 - Week 4 - Tennessee defeat Atlanta
Strike 3 - Week 16 - Selecting AGAINST Arizona for the 4th time
Strike 4 - Week 16 - Arizona defeat Seattle

Note - If we have the week 17 runoff
Bloods - You can not tip FOR Baltimore, Seattle or San Francisco or AGAINST Arizona, Miami or Washington
Island Bomber - You can not tip FOR Baltimore, Minnesota or Seattle or AGAINST Arizona or Miami

 

[Dirty Bird]

Intersting - If I got my highest CR correct in 3xko each week, Id be down to 1 life right now
Having lost a strike in both weeks 15 and 16 as Id either have to tip a loss or a team for or against for the 4th time

Conversely, if I went the lowest CR which I got right all year (ignoring teams I cant tip a 4th time. ie. For Buffalo after week 3, against Cincinnati after week 5 etc.) Id be entering week 17 with all my lives, however, I cant tip for Baltimore, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Seattle, San Francisco, Tampa Bay, Tennessee or Washington or against Carolina, Cincinnati, Los Angeles Chargers or Miami this week.

 

[Island Bomber]

Here l was thinking l was out of 3XKO. Nice to be having a crack at winning it twice lol.

 

[AmericanCrow]

I didn’t realize we should just keep picking teams

that’s an error I will need to correct next year

 

[Dirty Bird]

ND:
If AmericanCrow is correct, he wins $150 more, if American Crow is incorrect Showbag wins said $150


AE:
Dirty Bird has wrapped up $500
But the $200 and $100 prizes are still up in the air
If balmainforever is correct he wins $200 no matter what
If hes incorrect he wins nothing no matter what
So Island Bomber and Moo don't have to concern themselves with BalmainForever. They have to concern themselves with each other. If they tip the same or the game is a tie. Island Bomber finishes higher, if they tip differently, whoever is correct finishes higher and wins the money/extra money

HRS:
It's down to 3
Currently Dirty Bird is in the lead
But only 2 can catch up, Balmainforever and American Crow. If American Crow is correct in his tip, he wins, if hes not, Balmainforever will have had to have tipped differently than American Crow to win the $100 here, or it falls into Dirty Birds lap.

 

[Dirty Bird]

I nearly flipped to San Francisco then realised whatever I did made no difference no matter what
Just have to rely on 2 people tipping the same team and that team losing.

 

[balmainforever]

Dirty Bird it’s $200 for 2nd

 

[Dirty Bird]

Im just thankful both you and AmericanCrow have bigger fish to fry in AE/ND
So theres decent odds on both of you each tipping the favourite. Meaning an upset hands HRS to me.

Lets see what happens

 

[balmainforever]

Guessing AmericanCrow will tip Niners.

 

[AmericanCrow]

Dirty Bird it’s $200 for 2nd

This seems familiar

You got me Week 1....and here we are Week 17

 

[balmainforever]

I want Seahawks to win so Packers get the one seed.

 

[AmericanCrow]

The great news is, I control my own destiny

Bad news is, I got no idea who to pick

 

[balmainforever]

The great news is, i control my own destiny

bad news is got no idea who to pick

Niners haven’t won here since 2010

 

[AmericanCrow]

Any Aussie care to give me the winner seeing as it’s Monday morning down there

I assume you know who won Sunday night

 

[AmericanCrow]

I am riding with Shannahan

Any guy that uses a power point to explain his way out of Cleveland Browns organization must be smart

Dirty Bird I haven't looked at your calculations, but the ND finalists came to an agreement that the winner would take $150 and the runner up $100

Plus you've forgotten to announce the HotStreak winner

The money for the runnerup had to come from somewhere else in the kitty

Edited to take those 2 pieces of information into account

 

[AmericanCrow]

The money for the runnerup had to come from somewhere else in the kitty

We did agree to $150 for ND winner and $100 for loser

Making it that far should get a bump from Semi-Finalist

it’s damn hard to get this far

 

[Moo]

Well done to all.

Missing that 10 CR point game early in the season hurts!
