I remember playing this game last year and it really seemed to be fun + beneficial to some people. It helps you breakdown the game like an oddsmaker would and in turn will improve your handicapping skills.

The object is simple, post your Pinnacle style 8 cent lines for each of the 5 (randomly selected) matchups for 5/30. The lines should be posted around noon and when they are...the game is over. Whoever is closest to each favorite's line wins. I'm going to just post the 5 matchups and answer any questions, but I need to post this before a full explanation because there isnt much time before the lines are going to be up:
<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD colSpan=2 height=3><SPACER type="block" width="1" height="1"></TD></TR><TR vAlign=bottom><TD class=yspscores>BAL: E. Bedard (3-3, 4.10)
KC: G. Meche (3-3, 3.18)</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD colSpan=2 height=3><SPACER type="block" width="1" height="1"></TD></TR><TR vAlign=bottom><TD class=yspscores>NYY: T. Clippard (1-1, 3.60)
TOR: J. Litsch (1-1, 4.24)

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
CIN: A. Harang (5-2, 4.50)
HOU: W. Rodríguez (2-4, 4.45)

FLA: S. Mitre (2-2, 1.89)
CHC: T. Lilly (4-2, 3.20)

TEX: J. Koronka (0-1, 5.40)
OAK: D. Haren (5-2, 1.70)

edit: shit, the lines are already up! I'm not going to peek yet and try to make some lines on these games...you're still more than welcome to do the same...I'll end this at 11:30 PST and post the contest matchups for 5/31. I didnt know Pinny posted lines so early this year....o well.
