ESPN Streak for the Cash
Thu Apr 30, 2009 4:00 pm
Does anyone here play this? It's a fairly simple fantasy game.
They provide you two scenarios for an event and you just have to predict correctly and your goal is basically building up a streak.
And it's not limited to just basketball, a majority of sports is covered and if there's a major event, you can be sure it'll be on there. Some scenarios are simply predicting the winning team while others are predicting if one stat will be greater than another. For example, for today's Heat-Hawks game, the scenario was whether Wade's FT's made will be greater than the Hawk's winning margin.
And as the name says, if you get a streak of 20 correct predictions, you can get up to $1,000,000 and there's some minor prizes as well for streaks 13+. And you can make multiple picks per day as long as one event ends before another begins, but you can only pick one event at a time, so that means you can pre-set your picks for every event there is on a single day.
So far, my streak is 0-2.

I have espn account but somehow I didn't try it earlier. Thanks for reminding what this thing is about. 
Although I think it's pretty much unrealistic to predict correctly 20 times in a row, it's still worth to try. There's always a possibility to find an easy pick. Starting right now...
Just one question. You said that you can pick only one event per day. But there was one guy who got 85 wins in April. How is that possible?

I don't know.. I picked HOU vs LAL game and if try to pick soccer game (Chelsea vs Arsenal), it replaces the previous pick.
Never mind.. I got the point finally. It's possible to pick several matchups per day as long you pick the next one only after previous one has ended.

Yeah, I just figured that out too.
As long as one event ends before another begins, you can pick multiple games per day.
