2012 NFL Pick Em Pool

[ice grillin you]

Rules:

Pick Any Five NFL Games Per Week Against The Spread - Most Pts At The End Of The Year Wins

Scoring System:

Win = 2 point
Push = 1 point

I Will Email The Spreads Each Friday Morning - Thursday Games Will Be Eligible But Obviously Thursdays Lines Will Be Used - Games That Are Off The Board Are Not Eligible To Be Picked

Picks Must Be EMAILED To Me By Midnight Saturday Of Each Week

Money:

$25 Entry Fee Must Be In My Hands Before Labor Day - Your Money Is Your Spot In This Thing - Not An Email or PM - When You Cake Me Off You Are In

Payout:

First Place = $25 x Number Of Participants
Second Place = $15
Last Place = $15 To The Second Place Finisher

I Am Not Sending Out A Mass Fax For This Thing - There Isn't Much Money In This And I Dont Want To Have To Grade 150 Sheets A Week - So I Wouldnt Expect A Lot Of People - My Hope Is 10-20

Notes:

In The Name Of Transparency My Picks Will Obviously Be Posted To All Participants Each Week Before The Start Of The Games

Towards The End Of The Year I Will Email Contending Players Picks To Each Other So That They Can Follow Along


Entry Fee Can Be Mailed To:

Havas
7542 Maiden Head Dr.
Hanover, MD 21076

Be Sure To Include With Your Payment The Email Address You Want Lines And Weekly Results Sent To

$25 x the number of participants doesn't allow for a second or last place prize unless you're paying that out of your own pocket.

[ice grillin you]

last place pays an additonal $15 to second place...in other words its a penalty

[rjs246]

Ah, I obviously missed that part.

[SunMo]

why is every word in the explanation capitalized?

[reese125]

this had to have been a copy and paste because i dont think igy has capitalized since he joined

either way this might be the best contest posted in a while

[ice grillin you]

i wrote it a long time ago and copy and pasted it here

a long time ago i used to run one with over a hundred people in it...used to literally cut the lines out of usa today blow it up on the copier in the office i used to work and then fill out every sheet as picks came in...then have to grade them every week....and then change everyones records for that weeks standings to go out....after a while i couldnt take it anymore...

i wish i could find a program to do it where people could put their own picks in but all pick em pools are set up for every game to be picked...and that is bullshtein...takes no skill to just fill out every game and cross your fingers....this way you target the games you feel strongest about...seperates the real from the fake...aint no women winning this pool

anyway i figured i start a mini version of this again just for shteins and giggles....for all i know there might be three people in it...but no matter if it just me and someone else its still fun to see how well you do over a full season

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I like the risk/reward and look forward to barely avoiding last place.

[hbionic]

I'm a wee todd when it comes to the spread...so...an example is....if Eagles are -7 vs. whomever...and they win by 8, that means they beat the spread, right? And if whomever loses to the Eagles by 7 or less, they also beat the spread?

[Diomedes]

I am also not a gambling fool, but I think you are correct.

FF will be along shortly to settle the question, all glory to God.

[MDS]

i am IN so long as there enough people to make this worth my time

so like 5 people.

let me know when you hit a respectable number

[ice grillin you]

gonna be way less than five people as i forgot to email it out to anyone....i only posted it here...ff i did get your loot....im willing to do it with just you and if not ill rip up your check and we can continue our normal battle...

otherwise maybe we can get five (or more) from here (igy - ff - jay - hb - wildcard entry)

[rjs246]

I intended to do this but would prefer more people. In fact I was planning on mailing a check Monday. Happening or not?

[ice grillin you]
