I had a little strategy this week. I wanted all late games and 1 pick in the final game. Then I needed to pick 5 games that you wouldn't pick or pick the opposite because I needed a lot of help. Us duplicating even 1 pick would have been terrible.

Definitely should have stayed away from those big point spreads though. I wanted to pick NE and KC but I thought there was a good chance those would be popular picks.


Looks like over is a lock and is going to be as I expected. Final will be something like 37-13

Sickening that it came down to the last game of the season and the over was 43 and game is probably going to end at 44.

For someone who decided not to play, you have been the most active poster in this thread. Perhaps you think I should pay you for the privilege?

Or maybe this is a reference to the sidebets. If not it should be. I took 2 bets for $50 on DJATC against the field from other people, and $100 with you on the field. So this can be a placeholder while we backtrack those and figure out who owes me so I can pay you.

Thanks to unjon and the others who did fun prizes!

Anyone who I owe escrow money to, please let me know by PM whether you want PayPal or Amazon Gift card, and include a good email address.

Thanks to Mission and EdCollins for running a fun event. Thanks to Babs for facilitating the money. I can't imagine how much of a PITA it is to get picks gathered and posted every week. I don't think I would have entered if we were on an honor system at the end. Nothing personal, but I don't wanna hunt down like 69 people for $25 each lol.

Kinda sucks I didn't get to bet my team more often, but I really think the Seahawks aren't great bets ATS.

My thoughts as well. It was fun, but frustrating watching my bloated corpse float towards the surface instead of staying at the bottom.

I’d like to encourage the tied players to use the tie breaker rather than split. It will give us all something to follow during the big game.

Congrats to the winners, and many thanks to Mission, EdCollins, and BBB for all you do for this game. This was my first time and I had a blast! Also, thanks again to Mission, UnJon, and JohnnyQ for funding the consolation prizes! Gave me something to shoot for all the way to the end.

Speaking of which, I picked a hell of a week to go 6-0! I overshot UnJon, The Browns, and Mr Average all in one fell swoop!

I like their chances against the Cowboys on Saturday. I think they are going to be about three point underdogs and I think they will win outright.

I also had a blast. Thanks for everyone who helps make this happen!

I thought it was worth noting that Sparty10k is my brother. Here is how the final standings look -

GenWyzgy 41 44 48.24%
UnJon 48 52 48.00%
Sparty10k 44 48 47.83%

So, Sparty10k took UnJon's $50 by .07 percentage points! Not that I even remembered such a prize existed, I was hoping to be part of the big split for most average. But I guess I get the family bragging rights - (If one can brag about a .482 winning percentage).

Update.

1st place : DJATC $825 ($562.50) - pmt arranged
2nd place: Gwae $100 ($362.50) -pmt made
3rd place : JohnZimbo $25
T-Average : EdCollins $18.75 from Mission
T-Average : Kuma $18.75 "
T-Average: Rigondeaux $18.75 "
T-Average: terapined $18.75 "
Closest to unjon: Sparty10k $50
Closest to Cleveland Browns: Gordonm888 $25
You suck: Troopscott $75 from Mission

Additional prize money: $25 in escrow from scolist, to be awarded as Mission sees fit. Scolist has confirmed that is his intention.

My suggestion, without looking back, is that it go to the person with the most 5-0/6-0 weeks who did not otherwise win a prize. Maybe that's too complicated, idk.

I've no idea, but I think this is proof of why bookies get rich.

Perhaps those in first and last place will reveal whether their selections each week were random or highly studied?
I came in a smidgen over 50.0% while not having heard of some of those teams and never deliberating more than a few minutes.

New info. See above for prize updates. Mission has paid the escrow on the bonuses.

scolist's $25 and kuma's $18.75 have been reserved for partial seeding the playoff pool game Mission intends to run. That should happen pretty quickly, so watch this space!

Again, please PM me with info on how you want to receive your winnings, if you haven't already. Thanks!

Terapined,

Sure thing! Thanks for starting the thread! I'll put the official thread together sometime this week. I'll probably be kicking in a little less for prize donations this year than I did last year, last year I was basically just trying to keep up with WoN's donations. I didn't like the idea of him donating more to the game than me when I'm the one who invented it...lol

Anyway, my donations will probably be:

Winner: $50
Most Average: $50
You Suck: $50

I think that I'm going to do the flat entry fee again, but we're going to go back to the honor system. I think it was a condition of WoN's donation that I collect the entry fees prior to the start of the contest, but I could be wrong about that. Either way, there's really no good reason I should need to hold everybody's money for seventeen weeks. It's honestly more of a PITA for me than anything else, because half of it is in the form of Amazon Gift Cards. I thought only a little of it would be. I really don't need that many Amazon Gift Cards...lol

I've never really understood why I should donate more to the winner, even though it's been my choice. The winner gets the prizes from everybody else anyway, so what does the winner need a big donation for?



Do I recall correctly that mission said he was a no go for running this contest again this year?

I may have said something like that at some point, but I think that may have been an overreaction to some complaining that was happening, or suggestions for different ways to run it, whatever.

As I recall, I suggested if someone wanted to run the game in a different way (using CBS Sports or some equivalent) that I would not be running this game and they could just run the game. If that doesn't happen by August 15th, I'll likely set this game up again with the same contributions to prize structure.

Also, I really don't know that anyone holding all of the Entry Fees will be necessary, but I'm not opposed if that's what most people want to do. I won't be the one to hold them, though. BBB can probably do it again if she wants to.

BBB already has my $25 from last season. Do I win anything for being the early Bird? 😁

Are you Kentry? You are looking forward to completely random success? Maybe that's better than being delusional with a system.

Most likely a drool cup.

Well the 3 prior years I was something like 40 percent sonic figured why not just make it random.
