Title: Bob Chick's top 14 Olympia prediction before the O. Was he right?
Post by: dantelis on September 25, 2007, 02:34:12 PM
Chick always claims in PBW that his Pro show predictions are right on the money.  Time to see if Chick's 2007 Olympia predictions are on.  If you think Chick is off-base, list your top 10 (or 13) placings and see who is closer.  You may gain bragging rights to say, "I outguessed Bob Cicherillo."

1.  Jay Cutler
2.  Victor Martinez
3.  Ronnie Coleman
4.  Dexter Jackson

 i wouldnt be sooo ready to diss chick on this guys...derek anfony did this also on MD.com when chick predicted Melvin doin bad , he said chick didnt know what he`s talking about

You forget chick has done the olympia series for bb.com , he HAS seen what the guys look like.So for him to still say what he has , im sure he knows what he`s talking about

also i must add , that it has been some whiiile since the last time you could actually almost definitely assuredly accurately predict a guys actual placing in a show...i mean chick predicts markus` exact spot no less and predicted the entire TOP 14 , whens that happened before ?

Pick away, boys....

All in good fun.

I just have a educated guess and an opinion just like anyone else.....

Yes, I picked Eddie Abbew as my dark-horse to place higher than people expect him to.....



Maybe YOU GUYS can pick the bottom 6...tougher than you think..!

With Kamali not in the show, you're right!  ;D



I actually agree with your top 5, although #4 and #5 are overrated and won't deserve it.  Silvio in 8 ahead of Wolf and Darrem?  no way.

I think it will be:

Jay
Vic
Ronnie
Dex
Fat Puerto Rican
Melvin
Freeman
Darrem
Wolf
Ruhl


But it should be:

Jay
Vic
Ronnie
Freeman
Melvin
Wolf
Dex
Darrem
JOJ
Gustavo

I can hardly predict these things because what I think should occur and what actually occurs is never the same. What I mean is- the judges suck. They always pick the big, bloated physiques. Going on this, I would bet Ronnie goes out on top. Jay will finish 2nd, followed by Dex, Vic, Melvin, Baddell, Silvio, Freeman, Charles, and Wolf

I think Eddie Abbew could  make top 10 if he comes in right he's beat silvio already and Dave Henry, but he doesn't spend a lot of time in the US so probably wont get called out.

You can't beat the "GURU" because the show is already fixed

maybe not fixed, but unpredictable for sure... trying to pick the bottom six is nearly impossible since even the judges randomly throw them in some kinda order

Speaking of predictions, this site is giving away free supplements for anyone that is correct...

Heck free is a great number in my mind

Title: I beat Chick's Olympia picks!
Post by: dantelis on October 01, 2007, 01:17:03 PM
I tallied the results of the BEAT the GURU challenge of Olympia picks vs. Chick


Guess Chick's records of Pro show picks was dealt a big blow this weekend.  He only got 2 of the top 10 placings correct, which is better than only two of the 6 people who took up the challenge.  Amazingly, I actually had the most correct with 5 correct placings.

(I'm as amazed as anyone else.  No one could have picked correctly the top 10 placings for this Olympia.)

The results of all the picks are below.

Looks like Chick was off this year.  (Who could've predicted this weird Olympia?)  He only got two of ten placings correct.  Guess Chick's pro picks record for the year is busted!

Goatboy, Weentang and I all guess better than the Guru (with 3, 3 and 5 correct placings).



Title: Chick only got 2 placings out of 10
Post by: OTHstrong on October 01, 2007, 03:17:38 PM
To top it off he had Dave Henry tied for last when Dave cracked top 10.
