SPORTS CENTER CONTEST #96PICK’EMPICK’EM IS BACK!You remember... PICK'EM is a very simple made up word. It means, these two teams are so closely matched that either team has an equal chance to win. Or in other words, we have no clue which team will win
When it comes to PICK’EM games, many gamblers rely on arcane knowledge to select a team to bet on. Like: which school did I go to; I like the colors of their uniforms; which team has better cheer leaders; I hate or like that team; my wife likes that team. You get the idea. So whenever you look up the odds for any given event, and the results come back PICK’EM, you now know what that means. FLIP A COIN!
INFORMATIONWe have another classic PICK'EM game brewing with Game 5 of the Western Conference NBA Finals. Houston beat the Warriors in a close one last night to tie the series up at 2 games each. Now, the series moves back to Houston for game 5. Most experts concede that the Golden State Warriors are the better team, but Houston did win the conference this year and finished with a better record. They are also pretty great when playing at home. The worst odds I could find were the Houston Rockets being 1 point favorites. But in most cases it was a straight up 50/50 bet. That's what we call a PICK'EM GAME.
Just flip a coin to make your pick.
And for a chance at a 25 WRZ$ bonus, I want you to post a reason why you selected them. It doesn’t have to be real or even make sense. I’m looking for creativity here. I will award 25 WRZ$ to reasons that I like. It will just be my opinion. All decisions will be final with no whining allowed. So come on folks, let’s get creative.
NOTE: You do NOT have to give a reason if you don't want to (many haven't in the past) But, if you want a chance at the bonus...
