Bulls and Bears

Legends I was out mowing Friday and like any normal Legend was thinking of a new contest for the league. A few months back....(just checked it was September 2014, time has flown) I created a site called ClosingBell. It was apart of the League of Legends version 2.0 (technically we are playing on LOL v 3.0). Anyway ClosingBell was a stock pickem game where you picked the price of 5 stocks daily and you pick a closing day price. If you were within +- a certain percentage of the price you set than you got points for that pick.

It was a daily thing, and a little complicated. Anyway, while mowing I was thinking there should be an easier way to make a stock pickem game for the legends. Thus the idea for Bulls and Bears was born. Here is the rough idea:


  • Before the Monday opening bell Legends will pick 2 stocks. 
    • Bull Stock - legends will pick a stock they think will rise this week
    • Bear Stock - legends will pick a stock they think will fall this week
  • Friday close prices are recorded and points are awarded
  • 75 points for each correct pick for a max weekly score of 150 points
  • Legends will be notified when the week is a Bulls and Bears week
  • Frequency TBD but it will not be every week...maybe earnings weeks and such

Some things to work out. Do we go all markets or just stick to NASDAQ? I say we stick to single stocks and no funds. 



Before I went to work coding this site I wanted to gauge interest. I know it is not really a sports thing so I understand if most legends are not interested. However if we have a few legends interested then I will code it up and we can take it for a test spin.

Let me know.

Rundown 4/10/2017

Horstman Master's Dominance, Tower continues his Yahoo league excellence, Baseball week 1 wrapup, that and more in this week's rundown. The Masters One could argue Horstman wasn't even paying attention to Season 3 League Of Legends. He shut all that noise down with a convincing Masters Championship foursome netting him 1000 fake internet points and 5 minutes of League of Legend fame. The winning foursome of Hideki Matsuyama, Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, and Justin Rose pulled away from the rest of the field. Horstman scored a 100 point bonus for picking Rose who finished 2nd in the tournament. NHL Champion The only legend who showed up for the NHL draft completes his wire to wire run as NHL leader and champion. Tower basks in the glory of another league championship under his belt. Gras' team started hot in day one of the championship matchup netting 19.20 points (not even sure my team ever scored that many points in one day). Gras continued to build a lead headi...

Rundown 3/27/2017

The fires are out, the dust has settled, the League of Legends Baseball draft is complete. Chiefs617 shows us how to almost be a basketball champion in 7 weeks, Final few days of streak, and more in this edition of the Run Down. Almost Champion Chiefs617 has had an impressive 7 week stretch in NBA. Ownership changed hands Feb 1st as Sonderman evacuated his post as legend prior to Season 3 starting. From that moment on Josh's Mediocre Team buzz sawed through the competition with an impressive 6 game winning streak including wins against the top 3 teams. His luck ran out this week in the playoffs against Quebec Kids setting the stage for an epic showdown between Tower of Power and Quebec Kids for NBA league champion. The season series is split 1-1 so it should be an epic match up. March Madness Dumpster Fire We have a whole pile of dumpster fire legend brackets. Who will rise above the ashes to take first place? If UNC wins then thejoestory and PattyV will own the top 2 s...

Rundown 6/12/2017 - Jcomp edition

It was a big week across the athletic landscape as several sports and collegiate softball crowned champions. Nadal finished an all-time great run through the French Open, the Penguins won the Stanley Cup, and Lebron ended talk of the Warriors and an undefeated postseason. Meanwhile, Patty took the LOL season lead for all of 36 hours until TJS could finish his 100 hour work week and get back to his computer to “adjust” the scoring. We’re 12 days into the second streak month of the LOL year. I feel a bit like Bob Gibson probably felt in 69 after the whiners got their way and the rules were changed. Luckily enough we’re entering prime Cricket season which, outside of Russian Basketball, is my sweetspot. You guys better get ready for a load of Chris Gayle Hot Takes. Triple Frown We’ve seen six different horses win the six triple crown races since American Pharoah in 2015. While being a borderline sports degenerate is a necessity in the League of Legends, do any of us really care abou...
