    How would you like to be this guy: wejes3

    The guy has 26 wins and is chasing a guy with 27 wins. All he needs is one more win (he owns a better winning %) and he wins 100k. He picks the second to the last game the yankees over the tigers. The game gets postpone. The final game already locked he is stuck without a game to pick for 100k. On the very last day of the month no less.

    I surely hope he's going to Vegas to hedge against his next ESPN pick.

    I play Streak for the Cash and was following this last night as well. Poor guy! He shouldn't have waited so long to make his game-winning pick. Brutal!

    And imagine if he hedged his bet with $50,000 on Detroit and then the Yankees win. That would be the ultimate worst-case scenario.

    That bet will be a push as well. Since you and the bookie for that matter placed the odds based on the pitchers that would be starting.

    I don't think he has to worry about the hedged bet angle.

    I think the same pitchers are starting... it's technically suspended not postponed. But I don't know. Crazy way to lose the Streak either way. Too bad for him.

    EDIT: Nevermind. Looks like it will be different pitchers.
