Jim, about, hmmmmm, probably 6 years ago I was playing these. Man, I remember hitting like 12-13 in a row;it was amazing. Stopped playing them through the years, and the times I have I haven't fared that well. That may have something to do with not taking parity in the league into consideration during those times. Jim, I say play the 3 team - 8 pointers (ties push)instead if you're going to play such.....Good luck
