Me too. The one time it didn't happen is when I bet on the home fighter.

Chit happens brother

[Mammoth]

I audibly gasped. I fully expected home town cooking.

I was also surprised the ref didn't just go with it on the original kd call.

That is why went with Caterall but never again will I go with the Brit against a Mexican.

[SUBZER0ED]

I'm coming after all of you motherfuckers this year!

Well, you blew your X5 wad already, so there's that.

Why are you trying to bring logic into this?

I'm getting absolutely clobbered this season.

There's no actual logic in the Pick Em League. One moment you're on top, a coupla months later you're looking at the others running away. A well-played multiplier makes a difference more often than not.

Personally I think that the multiplier SKEWS results and Pick 'Em would be better off without them. Otherwise, somebody who gets one random multiplier right could lead somebody who has more correct picks over the same period of time!

To be honest, I happen to think around the same lines. A couple of years ago I proposed the abolition of the multipliers, but the logic behind it - which is not wrong, after all - is to keep more players in the game. If you throw the multipliers away, those who start badly most probably leave the game, whereas a single well-placed jolly can inspire the person who got it right to persevere.

We're all big kids, aren't we?
