    OFF-TOPIC: I have an extra ticket to the game on Saturday if someone wants to sit with me in Section D (aisle seats with chairbacks). Face value for the ticket. DM or text me if interested...

    To be fair most of this panel will finish tied for last as like with nearly every one of the last 7 or 8 seasons I've been privileged to take part of the panel, half if not most panelists end up with no money left.

    Man if I was a little closer I would take you up on that in a second. Then we could celebrate this Victory we are about to get together. Appreciate the offer you presented though Realty.

    Me to my self when thinking about betting on Florida. Not that I think we'll lose but week 1 UF bets have become synonymous for going broke (or nearly broke) in week one.

    Yes, but whoever goes broke first stays at the bottom of the list! That is truly LAST place! :D

    Not all zeroes are created equal around here. The longer your points last, the higher up in the standings you are at the end of the year...

    Apex I promise VPI was my top pick even before you posted.
    I'm betting the other games more for fun.

    I realize there's some strategy to playing the minimums and being in it at the end so you can go into Final Jeopardy with the chance to win. Unfortunately, I can't find any joy in doing that...especially for monopoly money. My play is to chase that high and maybe slowly ease off the gas as the season go on if I'm lucky enough have a bankroll left. So I'm all in with these crappy teams. LOL
