  • Kaptain's 2007 KonSenseUs Kruise Is Back

    It’s that time of year again and the Kaptain’s KonSenseUs Kruise is ready to set sail. The Kaptain has gathered his krew, and has loaded down the kruise ship with supplies (Lots Of Rum).

    Last year, the Kruise didn't last too long, but we'll try it again this year!!! It takes lots of members to participate to get a good tally on the games. The first year we had an awesome record going into the All Star Break.

    For those of you who do not know what the KonSenseUs Kruise is, I’ll explain......

    It’s called the KonSenseUs because it is for EVERYONE here. It is for US and by US. Every member is welcomed on the Kruise!!!!

    Everyday during the MLB season, every member is asked to give his or her 1 best MLB play of the day (POD). It can be a side or total, and you may even use the 1.5 run line. Because of the online gambling ban, the -1 & +1 run lines have been ommited from the Kruise. Not many people will be able to play them, so they won't be counted in this year's Kruise.

    The lines will be posted the night before in the KonSenseUs Kruise thread to give everyone a chance to post their POD in that thread. All tallies will be made 1 hour before the games start and posted accordingly in the Kruise thread. Everyone is asked to get his or her POD’s in at least 1 hour before the game starts.

    Daytime game tallies will be posted 1 hour before the games start. All night time game tallies will be posted by 5:00 CDT.

    Lines from Pinnacle will be used. Teams with a money line over 154 will not be used, as the members of the first year’s Kruise had voted that 155 was just too much Vig to lay on one team.

    When there are day and night games, it is possible that the Kruise will post 2 POD’s. It will just depend on the member’s picks. The Kaptain will keep track of the Kruise’s records, and will post them everyday.

    This year the KonSenseUs Kruise thread was given a “Sticky” in All Sports. (Spark, Wayne, & Monte were really good to us last year) It made it easy for everyone to find the thread to post his or her play.

    It takes at least a 4-0 member’s picks on a side or total to make a POD. The highest member’s pick will be the Kruise’s POD. Here is a chart on how the Kruise determines its plays:

    Must be at least a (4*) Play to be a POD. Highest (*) games is the POD, all others are regular plays.

    1-0 = (1*), 2-0 = (2*), 3-0 = (3*), and so on

    1-1, 2-1, 3-1, = (No PLAY), 4-1 = (1*), 5-1 = (2*), 6-1 = (3*), 7-1 = (4*), 8-1 = (5*), 9-1 = (6*), 10-1 = (7*), 11-1 = (8*), 12-1 = (9*), 13-1 = (10*), 14-1 = (11*), 15-1 = (12*)

    2-2, 3-2, 4-2, 5-2, = (NO PLAY), 6-2 = (1*), 7-2 = (2*), 8-2 = (3*), 9-2 = (4*), 10-2 = (5*), 11-2 = (6*), 12-2 = (7*), 13-2 = (8*), 14-2 = (9*), 15-2 = (10*), 16-2 = (11*)

    3-3, 4-3, 5-3, 6-3, = (NO PLAY), 7-3 = (1*), 8-3 = (2*), 9-3 = (3*), 10-3 = (4*), 11-3 = (5*), 12-3 = (6*), 13-3 = (7*), 14-3 = (8*), 15-3 = (9*)

    4-4, 5-4, 6-4, 7-4 = (NO PLAY), 8-4 = (1*), 9-4= (2*), 10-4 = (3*), 11-4 = (4*), 12-4 = (5*), 13-4 = (6*), 14-4 = (7*)

    5-5, 6-5, 7-5, 8-5, 9-5, = (NO PLAY)...10-5 = (1*), 11-5 = (2*), and so on

    6-6, 7-6, 8-6, 9-6, 10-6, 11-6, 12-6, = (NO PLAY) 13-6 = (1*), 14-6 = (2*) and so on

    7-7, 8-7, 9-7, 10-7, 11-7, 12-7, 12-7, 13-7, 14-7, 15-7, = (NO PLAY), 16-7 = (1*) and so on...

    The first year the Kruise did really well before the all star break. We had lots of members participating and we had a great turn out of plays. We also had lots of laughs in the Kruise thread. The Kruise began slipping after the break due to lack of members posting plays. MLB is a lonomittedg season, and I guess members got tired of posting their best play.


    All we ask of the members of the Kruise is 4 things …

    1) Post only 1 play per day along with the current line for the game.

    2) Keep and post your own record with every play. We work on an honor system on the Kruise.

    3) No bashing of other members in the Kruise!!! The Kaptain does not like rude people on his ship!!!

    4) Have fun and enjoy the trip!!!

                    Where is Kaptain? I thought he would have been in here by now giving orders to mop the deck and get this place clean before the season starts!

                              I'm going by memory, but I think we started out something like 29-4 or 31-4....we did go crazy, we were having about 100 inputs daily, plenty to work with, and gave us a true Idea....

                              I had started this KonSenseus Kruise, cause a lots of members were just looking, and not throwing out their plays/opinions....

                              Lots of em were bashful (so to speak), or didn't think they were good enough cappers to put em out there....

                              We'll they started to do it, and it was the KonSenseus we were after....then last year, for some reason, the particiapation dwindled, and we were not getting enough input to have a strong consenseus......It's a lot of work on LSU Jimyy, and he got wore out....I didn't blame him..I encouraged him to shut it down....

                              I remember one of out cappers (RJ), who could hit on a high % bais, coming in the KonSenseus, and saying somethin like (This is un real)...

                              I said it then, and I say it again, the guys here, can outdo any forum, and all the services combined........

                              Everyone, and I mean Everyone, is urged to come in and post your POD in MLB.....The criteria is expalined by Jimmy in post #1, don't worry about the ratings, and which one is the POD, or in some cases (2 of em).....we'll do the math, and let you klnow 1 hr. before First Pitch........

                              New Members, and those that don't deel like they are good enough to pick, PUT EM IN HERE...It's (as Jimmy said). for Us....lets get a good start, and any Ideas are welcome....

                              All the Old Kaptain asks is the following....
                              Keep it to your picks only.........
                              Questions will be answered......
                              Please no harassment, picking, initiating trouble....this thread will get long....and the plays are hard enough to monitor...
                              **********************************************
                              Heres an example.......
                              I post, my Avatar is shown, so we all know who I am....

                              5-2 thus far.........imaginary update on my record....honor system....

                              Todays POD

                              St Louis Cards

                              no need to show the odds, cause we're using Pinnacle as last year as a guide....some get better, some worse......

                              as Jimmy stated, anyhing at -154 and less will be used in the consenseus.....155 and above will be deleted from the Consenseus.....You may post a game, at -133, and by game time, it may exceed -155....Your play, regardless of your odds (line) goes against your own record, just not used in the KonSenseus......

                              You could be 5-0, but not a play was used in the consenseus...It give the whole board a chance to see who people like.....

                              RL - or + 1 1/2 is allowed....No more -1's........

                              If memory serves me right, the 2 cappers who blistered the POD the most, was Chuck E, and RJ....lots of em had good winning percentages........

                              as my man Rocko woul say, lets

                              Get Er DoNE....kapt

                              we also have added some good members since last year....I'll be looking for their input also.....

                              THIS IS THE "KAPTAIN" SPEAKING....know what I mean Verne
