RealGM

I dont know how many of you frequent ESPN.com, although as sports fans, I would assume most of you do. Likewise, I dont know how many of you play Streak for the Cash, but I highly recommend it. Its really addictive, and really fun. Now, I just realized this today, but you can form groups for the game. I think we should start a Pacers RealGM group just for fun. I play it more than I'd care to admit, but I dont know how much anyone else plays. If anyone is interested, put it down here and I'll start a group.

Yeah, I play all the time. ESPN is my homepage, so I always make picks. The problem is I try and pick soccer games because they are in the morning and the only thing to pick. I know nothing about soccer, and I always miss them. I think I am like 2-10 in soccer games. I am actually best with hockey, and am like 9-0. Right now my streak is 0 because of a stupid soccer game, I just need to quit picking them.

Never played it, but i am interested.

Just either sign-in or sign-up with ESPN. It's all free. You can have 1 pick at a time. You pick who you think will win/score more points, etc. If you get to 25 consecutive wins before anyone else, you win $1 Million. Pretty easy and fun.

I used to play, but it's impossible to even approach the leaders. I have no idea how they do it.

I've gotten to 6 once, and 5 another time. I agree, its hard to approach the leaders, and I dont have to patience to wait for matchups I like. I just pick fun stuff.

I think the highest I hit was 7.

Sounds like a good idea, i must check it out.

I'd be down to join a group for it. I'll sign up for it when you have one going, I guess.

cdash: do you have a group made? If not I can make one.

No I havent yet, I'll do it now.

Okay, I made the group. It is set to private so not just anyone can join (although I can't imagine where the demand for this group would skyrocket).

Name: RealGM Pacers
Password: indiana

Pretty clever password, huh?

Anyone is more than welcome to join, there is no limit to how many people play, so feel free.

How do I join the group? I'm signed up, but I don't see anything for a group or anything.

I think you just click on your streak for the cash tab, like you are going to make a pick and go over to "My Groups" and click on "Create or Join a Group". Then search Private groups for RealGM Pacers, and it should be there. If not, then give me your email address and I can invite you.

Alright, I am in. And if you are curious of my name "thewizardofoz1" it isn't because I like the movie, but my all-time favorite Ozzie Smith's nickname. But I mean who doesn't like the movie?

Those flying monkeys are bizarre little beasts of burden.

Is anyone else going to join? Right now its just three of us. Not much of a group

It's a lot of fun and not time consuming at all. If you are ever on ESPN you should join, it's a good time anf fun to root for a random team b/c you picked them in the Streak for Cash. You can dream of what it would be like to win $1 Million, too.

We need more streakers to join our group. I just had my 5 game win streaken broken cause the stupid Celtics.

We really do. I just had a 5 game losing streak. I am struggling. If Hawaii loses tonight, I fall below .500 for the first time.
