Week 5 Recap: Winners & Losers
Winners
Not much movement in the East last week, so the winner continues to be The Big Hurt. He enjoys a $100 lead on two foes and has avoided most of the pitfalls that tripped him up early in the year last season…. The Phoenix is doing something right up North. He had another perfect week and now has a $500 lead on the rest of the league after five weeks…Kiko Garcia rose up last week to seize control in the South Division. He won $500 and now has a $600 lead on the rest of the pack. Also of note was Kimmy Gibbler winning her wild card bet and trying to make a run…it was only a $100 week for Yaz, but he’ll take it, as he benefitted from the rest of the West Division’s missteps. He now has the lead by a slim margin.
Losers
Art Schlichter continues to own the cellar in the East Division and must be thinking about pulling the trigger on a wild card bet to get back into it before this season gets away from him….Poor Bayonnaise. He lost $1,000 last week after loading up on the Saints. Also, Kenny Powers looked like a legitimate threat to The Phoenix in the North Division, but he dropped $500 in Week 5 and is now $1,600 off of the lead….Chris B. Corey is the big loser in the South, both because of his results in the FMFL and for emailing your Executive Director in the wee hours of the night with (alleged) lurid tales of his exploits. Dr. Oge bet five teams last week. All five lost. Rick Moranis lost $500 as well, which has knocked both gentlemen out of the lead in the West.
