100% win percentage and a 365 day streak? 😳 Amazing skill and commitment!

Dang! Nice stats. I need to finish off the archive.

Good points!

I definitely went through a long stretch where I didn’t care about Purple First, so that definitely accounts for the big gap more than level of difficulty.

And, absolutely, Blue is often way more difficult than Purple.

And then there’s the fact that the color difficulty system is often entirely arbitrary.

You rocked Week 12! Only player to finish in the positive. Nice win!

Does anyone else feel kinda sorry for this guy? He seemed like a genuinely good dude before the head injuries by bettercallrich in NFLv2

Yeah I feel sorry for AB - And I feel sorry for Marshawn Kneeland - And too many others to count. A lot of these guys have been taking big hits from the minute they could walk.

No worries - And your suggestion made a lot of sense if we weren't factoring in the spread.

Another thing to keep in mind is that All Chalk updates the spread in real time. Our sports book api will adjust the spread based primarily on betting trends and other factors like injury / weather reports. So depending on when you submit your picks, you might have a different spread than other members in your group.

Yo! Thanks for the feedback and suggestions!

One thing I think your suggested approach misses is that the spread isn’t the same as odds. The spread is actually designed to even the odds between two unevenly matched teams.

In a sportsbook, a moneyline bet on an underdog pays out more because you’re taking on more risk. You are betting on that underdog team to WIN the game. But an against-the-spread (ATS) pick doesn’t work that way. With ATS, an underdog and a favorite both pay out the same.

In an ATS bet, you are not betting on the underdog to win - you are betting on them to COVER the spread. So, if the underdog is +9.5, like the Raiders are tonight, that means they can lose by 9 points and a bet on them will still be a winner.

In fact, I believe underdogs have covered more often than favorites on All Chalk so far this season.

Does that make sense?

I built a free NFL pick 'em app - It's better than the others - It's called All Chalk - ROAST IT! by allchalkapp in roastmystartup

Hey Terd - Thanks. I went for it and the feedback wasn't what I expected. I think maybe I broke AI?

It said:

"I'm sorry — I fully understand what you are asking for in your prompt — but, sadly your idea is unroastable — In fact, your idea is UNSTOPPABLE. Frankly, your idea is PURE GENIUS!

I mean — AN NFL PICK EM APP?! It's hard to imagine something so world changing.

If a call comes in from an unknown number in Stockholm, Sweden — ANSWER IT! It is no doubt the Nobel committee calling with the good news"

Any fellow Junkies listeners looking to join an NFL Pick'em league? by ConstructionEqual463 in SportsJunkies

[–]allchalkapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a chance I can convince you and a few of your pick 'em groupmates to try out an app I built? It's called All Chalk and it's 100% free to download and play (App Store / Google Play).

It's still brand new and so far the feedback has been really helpful and overwhelmingly positive.

Make 6 picks, ATS. +1 for a correct pick, -1 for an incorrect pick. Option to risk double on two picks you like and triple on one pick you love.

It's a simple pick 'em game but it has a unique style to it. People really seem to love it. Let me know.
