Winner of 22 Tapology Events including Bellator 66 and Strikeforce Event. I just need a UFC win for the Tapolgy Triple Crown. I also have the most points on an event, 1250, (10 perfects 15 of 17 wins) also hold largest margin of victory which is 250 points which i think will never be broken. Also have 2 bonus contest wins and 1, 2nd place finish and a 4th. 10th in the MVP contest with 4 weeks to go.15-4 in individual sig bets and i will win the first fantasy league game which was the first contest ever created on Tapology. Thank you.

Creator of the Wagering game and good friend Poir420 is my Spreadsheet creator and manager.

My five goals in the game are to have the most Event Wins, I currently have the most Perfects as of now and to have the AmeriCan Werewolves win the MVP game, to have fun with Tapology as a whole. Some great people here and of course to be the first to Coral Belt

Winner of the First Tapology Fantasy Basketball League. It was a great battle with Joker and i basically won by one steal after 10 days of back and forth. Best series ever.

My Vote: Wolfmanhowl- HavokDM is a great member, and an underrated one at that, but it's Wolf, this one was one of the less difficult of the Sweet 16.

My Vote: Wake99- If this took place 6 months ago, it'd be a totally different match up. but for whatever reason thiagosilva has fallen off, still around but nothing like his 9,000 posts would indicate or enough to challenge the juggernaut that is Wake.

My Vote: Man this one was tough, upon further review, I feel I should have went with Kalibo over Danno, his temporary absence swayed me unintentionally I think. However, I feel Poir being one of the rare 2010 members gives him a very slight edge.

My Vote: Oldmangloom- Another really tough one. I feel overall their stats are pretty much a wash, and even more I like them both a lot. With that being said the deciding factor for me was Oldman not ever getting in confrontations with other members (even though I do as well sometimes.)

My Vote: PiercerDan ACF is a great picker and of his rare posts he seems real cool and down to Earth, but PiercerDan is a better Tapologist in almost every way,
