I have it on my list to get to this today. Buried in the horse forum now.

I'll post it later.

Thank you for the invite. Appreciate it and glad you had a good time at the track. I think you can now see why when I go, it can be hard to bet much with all that is going on. If I really want to bet, I gotta stay in a corner somewhere. Lol.
I would never want to do that though. So many many good people out there. What a place!

Huummm .... Feeling a little slighted Chuck?

Madison, you should put picks in! Consider this an invite! I actually thought about that: 'Is there anybody I'm forgetting?'

At this pace, we won't get to forty. Will make another announcement this week.

I had the same thought, who did I forget?

Fill in players as you see fit Goat.

Thanks CTG and BkofAma. Hat tip to Chico, he would be fretting NIO.

Fun contest. Got a lot going on so mostly gut feelings. This might be fun with win totals vs playoffs. What Conf/Div you play in is so important and also the out of conference opponents.

NYJ (play so depends on QB)
NE (I'll take the easy pts. LOL)
GB (little worried about this one)
WAS (Whole year will be defined by young QB's)
MIN (Seems like easy pts with QB play. WR must be pissing)
PIT (Just hate Tomlin)

Gentlemen: First 3/4 games chart, New Qb's, New HC's, and new OC's. Add them up and some teams will struggle badly early.

A great comment by Bellichik, "These young QB's are seeing basic defenses in Preseason and want to be DB's, wait until coverages start getting disguised).

BOL and good health to all!

Hey, aggie. Have definitely made a lot of friends on this msg-board. Haven't seen you around in a while.

OK. Good Luck, hawk.

[semibluff]

The rules aren't entirely clear. Either the high score wins or 6 winners are mandatory and points scored are a tie-breaker. As it stands 5 wins including a long-shot winner will likely outscore the 6 shortest priced winners.

I ran an NFL money-line pick'em for 4 or 5 years. They're a much more engaging contest than straight or handicap pick'ems. However my take-away was that if winning is purely by points scored rather than winners picked the contest should be run with a small built in advantage for favourites. If not the outlier lucky-long-shot picks dictate the outcome. If nothing else the juice on a 1-sided game/division outcome is lower than on an even match-up or 4-way. On a contest like this you probably need to revalue odds on a differential curve rather than a fixed percentage bias. Just my 2 cents, but it is based on actual experience.

A bit late now to change anything, but the winning criteria should be clarified.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Hi, semi. I tried to put a clarifying statement in this thread:

https://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/players-talk/3742173-chico-kid-new-nfl-contest-announcement.html

Winner is based on Gross accumulated points from the six picks.
...Small bonus of $20 if someone wins the points AND does it with a 6-0 record.

Any confusion is due to me.

My original idea was a 2nd contest within Chuck's but after further review we combined it into one.

Hope that explains it semibluff..

I would never want to do that though. So many many good people out there. What a place!

Why I started pre-capping when going to live racing; too much socializing and beautiful women makes it tough to "stay on track".

Been 2 years since I've been to HAW, always my favorite in town track.

Since I’m having a good year and I believe in good karma, I’ll match MJsaux13 $200, but I will challenge him to upgrade his amount and add a zero to his donation at $2,000 total so 2,200 from us. I will not participate in this contest I just wanna see posters have a chance to win money to help keep things more interesting over here. Call this my "tithe" to the Gambling Gods to keep them happy.

[DonnieBrasco23]

It's been over 24 hours and not a peep out of any of you to set up the money for this contest, very strange.
