Talk about being Nostradameus...

I know that this has nothing to do with Video Poker, but it might be of
interest to a few.

I play in the Stations football contest. Last week I took a look in
the showcase at Palace Station and looked at the previous week
results. No I didn't win, but something caught my eye. I usually play
for losers since I think that not as many people do as compared to
picking winners.

Anyway, someone posted 14 losers for the week. No big deal, as this
happens quite frequently. The BIG thing was that the picks were
submitted back on 8/28/07. Talk about being a visionary!

PS If anyone knows of this person, I'd like to see if they have any
inside information on the next Powerball drawing!!!

Maybe they are doing what I sometimes do. For the Stations football contest, I will usually pick random teams weeks out and then handicap this week. If I miss a week due to illness or just forget, I may still be in the contest.
   
  There have been weeks where a random pick would actually outperform my handicapped picks although I did well in week 14 with a perfect record.
   
  For next year, I plan to use random picks all the way through and then handicap each week as it comes up. If I miss a week, such as being called away on business, I might even do better than if I handicap!

I see what you're saying. This was just unbelieveable since it was

15 weeks ahead of time.
