Week 3 Football Pool (in Contests)


PeterGriffin September 16 2008 2:31 PM EDT

Rules are simple, pick your winning team with the spread and total points scored for tie breaker game.

The spread is what the favored teams are picked to win by. For instance below KC is the favored team to win by -4 points if you pick them then they have to win the game by more than 4 points for you to get the win, but if they win by only 3 points then who ever picked the Raiders will get the win because KC didn't cover the spread.

Reference this contest for questions NFL Regular Season Weekly Pool Contest(Week 1)
Week 2 Football Pool

10k entry fee.
Send entry fee to FootballWeeklyPool

CM me with your guess don't post your guesses because you will give some one else the edge.

Small change for this week, I will be giving 1st place (50%), 2nd place (35%), & 3rd place (15%) prizes.
Also Raveshaw clone 2 donated 300k so I will put that in and I will match that so this weeks contest already has 600k in the pot

Does anybody have any issues with this weeks rules?

Also deadline for entries will be kickoff of the first game on Sunday.

I have a few entries this week and a pretty large pot so far so lets keep it up and don't forget about paying your entry fees, it is only 10k it isn't much but it helps drive up the winnings.

{Wookie}-Jir.Vr- September 18 2008 10:09 AM EDT

I think the split would be better @ 70/20/10, or even 80/15/5

If the pot for the week breaks 700k, 3rd place still gets >3-1 on his entry.

This way there is more excitement to winning.

th00p September 18 2008 10:25 AM EDT

I would agree to an 80/15/5 split or something close to that...

INDColtsFan18 September 18 2008 10:32 AM EDT

70/20/10 is the best split.

Or even 75/20/5.

PeterGriffin September 18 2008 11:28 AM EDT

Ok that sounds fine guys I will change the split to this:

75/20/5

:) *WTB time machine*

PeterGriffin September 19 2008 1:23 PM EDT

oh and sorry I didn't state it but the monday night game is the tiebreaker game...

{Wookie}-Jir.Vr- September 22 2008 2:24 AM EDT

Man I was way off :(

Only got 6 right :O

Kefeck [Demonic Serenity] September 22 2008 9:29 AM EDT

yeah i did not do so hot either.

th00p September 22 2008 12:07 PM EDT

5 wins so far. Ouch.

Kefeck [Demonic Serenity] September 23 2008 9:35 AM EDT

*wonders what the results were.*

PeterGriffin September 23 2008 9:58 AM EDT

Yeah sorry guys ment to do an update yesterday but didn't get around to it. Zoglog had a great week starting off he had 10 picks for the first 14 games and was the all out winner before the last 2 games and then [P]Mitt pulled to 10 picks and tied him because he got the last 2 games wrong. So we have our first week where the tie breakers matter.

and the winner is.
.
.
.
Zoglog 10 picks 51 points pick for the tie breaker

2nd place is [P]Mitt with 10 picks and 42 as the tie breaker

3rd place is IndColtsFan18 with 9 picks and the only one with 9 picks so no tie breaker needed.


great job guys I will send out prizes in just a bit.

Here is the break down of everybody, in order from first to last.

Place Player Correct Picks TB difference
1 Zoglog 10 26
2 [P]Mitt 10 35
3 IndColtsFan18 9 43
*4 The Pope 8 39
*4 r3x Enteri 8 39
5 Warbringer 7 24
6 Jaraiya 7 27
7 Josh 7 36
8 Plagues 6 22
9 th00p 5 35


* Yes there was a all out tie for 4th and since that wasn't a cash winning place then I just left it as a tie.

Kefeck [Demonic Serenity] September 23 2008 9:59 AM EDT

Congrats Zog.
