Illegal Curve Handicapping Challenge – October 31st
Well, it’s all come down to this. Bob Roberts made a good push last night to get closer to first. Tough night for Zorkon, and Casperitis breaks even. A costly loss for Mattyphil will almost certainly take him/her out of contention.
Will charvik make his/her remaining play tonight? Who will win October’s prize ($50 credit at one of Illegal Curve’s recommended sportsbooks)?
Remember, it all starts from scratch tomorrow with a big Saturday night of pucks.
