5 Seabiscuit $12.2

[Jedi Master Carr]

It didn't take you long :p

I am curious about this weekend I am not sure what Freaky Friday will do there has been good buzz about it. But it opens Wed so that could hurt it for the weekend.

[sirdizzy]

it did 6 million yesterday thats why i went with a nice mid ranged number, plus its getting great reviews, plus its disney and
should draw the kids in, plus it has a huge advertising budget

so i see 19 million as a good guess


and my strategy has been all summer to be the first to make the guesses, and i am winning (where as my strategy last year was to make the last guess and i took 2nd i believe) so ya got to go with whats working

[Jedi Master Carr]

I think it might do a little more but its hard to say, actually I think it will make more money thatn SWAT in the long run though I am not sure it will do that this weekend.

[sirdizzy]

i thinkit might have beaten SWAT had it opened on friday but i think it will have spread itself out a little too thin to beat it with the wednesday opening and yes i agree it will most likely make more than SWAT in the long run

[Jedi Master Carr]

I agree there I was thinking about going with FF but that with wed opening I have my doubts.

[CMJ]

I have a good chance to win SWAT at least.

[sirdizzy]

it looks like i will get #4 and i still got a chance at #3 the rest i am pretty much out of the running for

[Jedi Master Carr]

You have a chance at Freak Friday as well the only way I win is if FF is like a 1 million too low and Swat is like a million two high.

[sirdizzy]

i'll take it my lead increased by 25 points and cmj is all but out of the running with only 3 weekends left

[Jedi Master Carr]

not all he could gain 200 points on Labor Day :p Hey its possible I think Yoghurt overtook somebody by 100 points one year.

[sirdizzy]

ummm cmj is 225 points behind not 100 and he still has to go through me (i have been getting 2-3 guesses right for like 5-6 weeks in a row now)

[sirdizzy]

hehe i went back to see how well i have been doing, i have only been shutout 2 weekends all summer long weeks 1 and 4 so i have had at least one of the top 5 13 weeks out of 15 and one in the last 11 weeks straight

#5s- 2 times

so 20 wins in 15 weeks and i have ruled the #3 pick taking it %60 of the time

[CMJ]

I'm just shooting for the top 3 guys. :)

[Jedi Master Carr]

Not get cocky you can take a quick nose dive just ask Lebron.

[sirdizzy]

nah the #3 spot will save me, i have been doing these for 2 years now and I have yet to take a nose dive, after 4 2nd place finishes this is my year this is my glory days


and you have been telling me that for 3-4 weeks now and all i have done is increase my lead during that time

[CMJ]

I think surdizzy could the last 2 weeks off and still win. The jumble is for places 2-5.

[sirdizzy]

see someone has some confidence in me

[Jedi Master Carr]

Hey I can't give up yet or why bother to play.

[sirdizzy]

i about ready to make my celabratory sig for it anyways, i wish i was runnign away with the ccnet contest like i am running away with this one, there i am only in the lead by 15 points
