EOG’s 5th Annual Pro Football Contest Presented by BetDSI season-long thread

Office football pool.com doesn't work like that. You can only see everyone's selections once the deadline has passed.

Correct, but the admin can see the few results of who picked the early games before the last deadline. This would be a miniscule or no advantage until perhaps the last few weeks of the season.

more than miniscule. and a yr long advantage if there is someone you respect in the field

So how is it more than minuscule? Give an example where knowing one pick out of 5 from another entrant gives a significant advantage.
hypothetical is if i have 4 solid sides i like, looking for a 5th and i see railbird and matt on the same side of a game, their is my 5th. example B, i identify railbird as my only real competion, i could mirror his plays with a lead, and fade ones if im behind

You're totally confused.

You can't mirror any of his plays, you only know plays from early games after that game's deadline for entry. You can't go on or against his early plays.

admin can see the plays, just like online poker, there is always back channels

the ability to see everyone else plays is the advantage

Using self-generated lines also would be a large advantage.

Surely somebody is in the ear of the folks making Circa contest lines. That half point turns leans into plays.

I like that there isn't any doubt what lines will be used.

I'd like to see a contest use whatever line is being dealt at the time of posting the contest card. That would include omitting "off the board" games.
 
FWIW, Jeff Sherman with the SuperBook posts their NFL openers more or less in the space between the afternoon games and the start of SNF.

Yes, these lines don't become the finalized contest lines until Wednesday afternoon, after they've been hammered on a bit by sharps ("you can bet early, and you can bet large, but you can't bet large early").

But this is where what becomes the contest lines start, for your reference in analyzing your Week 02 picks during the first half of the coming week.

You can see these openers each week on X/Twitter @golfodds.

Dell Dude, why don't you just pay, you were in last year? It doesn't make sense to play for fun.....otherwise, I would have done the same thing!

I have a $1000 line of credit with a loaded poster and my balance is only $310. I was going to use that like I did last year but Woodrow decided to go Conway on me in the bogus challenge where I not only won but with some spectacular, historic picks. Even if I had the J Money (another beauty, faked his death after scamming me $1500), I wouldn't have paid.

Since he's pretending to be dead, this is ok. Hi, Joe!

This is howid the J Money hustle worked. Told me he has money on pre paid card and wants to trade for a bitcoin loan. Said to use it for my rent first then send him bitcoin. He was going to get paid the next Jason Day and he'd pay me back with interest and I'd already have banked rent payment.

So I used the card and it worked and sent him the bitcoin. I'm still waiting for 8 pm. On top of that, he charged back so I was in default with penalties. That was the only other time in default. Back then I was loaded so took out of etrade to pay rent. Never heard from him again.

contest at work...won (2) $500 gift cards to Walmart, which I refuse to shop at... I tried craigslist and all I get are a bunch of nitwits texting me offering me $200

Sorry but I booted you. You can submit your plays here if you wish to play for fun. I would like the standings to be clean for all who participate and paid. Thx.

Here's the current standings after week 1 in the contest.....BTW, I'll use this single thread for the entire season:

week1final.JPG

17 players have paid their dues, $250 each for a total of $4,250. BetDSI generously adds 10% to our prize pool, which is another $425, for a grand total of $4,675 to pay out.

Per the rules, 60/30/10 split, will see first place get $2,805, second place $1,402, and thrid place $468.

Good luck this season!

Just when JK thought the "Dell Dude problem" was solved. Thanks, blackcloud. Please list poster names who contributed to entry.

Upon further thought, I decided this doesn't work. Not fair to all who paid timely. Deadline passed, no payment, no picks for fun, this is why we have rules to play by.

I expect him (Bowling) to Lee Corso and return the money. The pm's are flying as I type. Much appreciated regardless. You are a good guy.
