How about saving it for Mike's next charitable adventure? By the way, how much does a 5 team parlay pay, 25-1? Does the ticket become a 4 team parlay if one of the games is a push?
was counting what i lost by not taking a money line parlay card- does anyone know?

How about a "Superbowl Props" prediction contest? The Wizard can pick 10 different Proposition bets for the Superbowl, and one "tie-breaker" (e.g., "Announced Attendance").

That's incredibly generous.
I would personally keep it in the site by having a WoV practice games tournament.
How it would work is that you would pick some period of time during which the tournament takes place. The VP paytables can be altered, so that's out, but I think it would work with any other game.
During this timeframe, the player must take a screenshot of his/her highest total and PM/E-Mail you said screenshot which you must also receive during the timeframe. Whoever has the highest number of Credits on his/her screenshot is the winner.
The Kicker
An individual player may only PM/E-Mail ONE screenshot or he/she is eliminated.

Thanks! That is very nice of you. If you wish to run your own contest, that is fine. However, I would be very happy to add the $100 to the kitty for the contest of whatever I do.
For the record, my own contribution will be $100 plus I'll match any winnings from GB-II donated to the tax-deductable charity of my choice.
Regarding my picks, I give 95% of the credit to good luck. I'll explain my strategy after the contest. Some of you have evidently figured out the gist of it already, based on some PM's I've received.

That's encouraging. My "contrarian" strategy is in shambles. Like the Arizona Cardinals.
56 wins for dogs 44 for favorites, how can that be?
EASY. Books try and balance the books, but that is very, very, tuff to do. People like to bet favorites. So with dogs winning more, but with less money bet on them, the books have a better chance of balancing. And they can always lay off a lot of action with a nickle line to big betters, just offering them only one team for that line.
Think about it. How many games are decided on dumb luck, last team to score, turnovers, etc ? Welcome any dissenting or any
enlightening views.

I'm thinking there is no time-stamp on these things though. And quite a few folks wouldnt be computer savvy enough to take the steps to post a screenshot

We could provide instructions.
The time stamp is in the bottom right of the computer by hitting the, "Print Screen," button. I guess that someone could technically change their system time, but:
1.) If they need to resort to that for $100, more power to them.
AND
2.) They'd still have to log the win on the WoV practice game, so the only thing they could do is get a head start on everyone.
Quote: BuzzardThe WIZ does right in selecting a lot of dogs. You still have to get lucky, but dogs win from 56-58% in NFL.. Think about that.

Unfortunately, it cannot be and isn't. Wish it were true. Would make this betting thing a hell of a lot easier.

You can't really believe that, Buzz? Time for carotid doppler study? If it was that simple you don't think someone would have noticed and be taking advantage?
Usually when the fans really really think they know exactly where their teams are? One example, the end of the season. Having seen 14 games and really really know their shit LOL.
How about this for 8 years. I hate trends, but 8 years ????
2003-2011 All Home Dogs Home Dogs 2+ pts Home Dogs 8+ pts
Weeks 15-17 69-68 (50.4%) 59-52 (53.2%) 17-8 (68.0%)
Since the study looked at games from 2000 through 2008 we figured it might be interesting to see if betting double digit dogs has continued to be profitable over the last three seasons.
Here are the results:
2009: 29-26-2 (52.72%)
2010: 12-10 (54.54%)
2011: 21-13-2 (61.7%)
