NFL Regular Season Weekly Pool Contest (in Contests)


PeterGriffin August 29 2008 12:15 AM EDT

I would like to start a weekly pool per week, open to any user. The rules are simple I will provide a spread for each game every week, probably Tuesdays. Anybody who wants to play just CM's me the team they think will win and a TB Monday night football total score number (for instance what ever you think the total score will be on the Monday night game if there are 2 then I will just pick game that will be the tie breaker) along with a 10k entry fee.

Winning team of the week will receive half of the cash received and the other half will go into the Fantasy Football Pot for the CB FF league. Also the winning team will get a free entry for the next week into the pool.

The more entries we get the larger the payoff. Also the reason I am splitting the winnings is because for our fantasy football league this year we decided against a large entry fee because allot of people didn't have the cash.

Also depending on how much cash we build up I may start adding bonus prizes for the winners each week. This is more a contest for fun it will be a bit of work for me because I will probably be doing most of it by hand but I think it is a fun game and I think our Fantasy Football guys deserve a little prize at the end of the season it can get tough.

Tuesday I will put up a list and anybody who wants to play please just send me your list via CM and the entry fee to FootballWeeklyPool. I am also going to go ahead and start the first pot off with 300k in it for week 1. Oh and even though I love to play it I won't because nobody will know if I am cheating.

Please don't post your picks on here because you don't want to give anybody the advantage. Any suggestions or questions just let me know. Thanks and good luck I hope allot of guys play, it is all a guess job so don't feel like you can't play just because you don't know anything about football that is why I do it with the spread.

CM PeterGriffin with the teams you think will win and the total score amount for the tie breaker.

Notes

Please let me know if you have questions or suggestions this is a cheap game but with enough players it can pay off, and I have already started the pot of will 300k for Week 1 and depending on how many players we have I may throw in more, who knows.

Just another FYI my wife use to play this at work and she knows nothing about football at all, she made $300 one year and only had to pay $17 bucks total when she played, it was $1 a week per person and she won a bunch. So it is a guessing game and anybody can win. I will probably keep track of weekly winners and give a big payout at the end of the season for the all time winner.

GOOD LUCK

Just thought I would add an example of an entry thru CM to me.

"Giants, Bengals, Jets, Chiefs, Texans, Jaguars, Lions, Seahawks, Buccaneers, Rams, Cowboys, Panthers, Cardinals, Bears, Vikings, Broncos, 32"

That format works great for me especially if you leave the order the way it is that I have posted, but hey I am really not picky the more the better.

PeterGriffin September 4 2008 9:19 AM EDT

Ok well I have only received 3 entries so these 3 guys have a pretty good chance in winning the cash because there is no other competition. By noon today is the last day to make entries into this contest. Come on guys you can't win if you don't try.

th00p September 4 2008 10:55 AM EDT

Come on ladies and gents! Make a few random picks, pay a measly 10k, and have a great chance at winning over 300k!

PeterGriffin September 4 2008 11:42 AM EDT

Thanks th00p for the support. I am gonna sweeten the pot again and throw in another 300k, which will make the pot be at 640k.

I am also going to go ahead and extend the dead line to tonight's kickoff time which is 7 PM server time.

PeterGriffin September 4 2008 5:43 PM EDT

Ok guys down to the last hour or so to make your picks.

Still very little interest in this. Could I get the players that aren't playing to tell me if there is any particular reason why you don't want to play? Reason I ask is because I want people to play so I want to find what my faults are with the contest.

Thanks guys.

I didn't play because you had the colts at -9 vs the bears.

actually, i was just to lazy to do it.

PeterGriffin September 9 2008 12:07 PM EDT

Colts you know that means that Indy was favored by 9 points and well they would have had to won by more than 9 to win the game, and well for them Win would have been the first objective. haha

ok here are week 1 results.

Th00p had 9 wins
RX3 had 9 wins
Warbringer had 7 wins
The Pope had 10 wins

so with that said POPE WINS!!!!! The pot was at 650k so pope gets 325k and the FF gets the other half....
