Announcing EOG’s Pro Football Contest Presented by BetDSI

This contest will emulate the SuperContest, and all SuperContest rules will apply unless otherwise noted. The contest will be administrated by John Kelly (JK) and yours truly, mrbowling300.

This contest is open to a maximum field of 40 participants on a first-come, first-serve basis. Only one entry is allowed per person. After 40 confirmed entries, the contest will be closed.

The entry fee will be $250. Funds can be submitted to the paypal / venmo of mrbowling300. To be officially entered, your entry fee will need to have been received and confirmed.

BetDSI is kind enough to contribute an additional 10% to the prize fund up to a maximum of $1,000, which makes for an attractive overlay. We thank BetDSI very much for their contribution to this contest.

Please be sure to visit BetDSI at https://www.betdsi.eu/

Deadline to enter is 3pm PT / 6pm ET, Saturday, September 12, 2020 unless we reach 40 entries sooner.

The contest will begin Wednesday, September 9, 2020, and conclude Sunday, January 3, 2021.

We will use officefootballpool.com to manage the contest. There will be full disclosure at all times. Any disputes will be heard by John Kelly.

If you wish to enter the contest, simply send a PayPal to keith@rknpc.com

If you are concerned about my personal integrity, John Kelly has known me for 20 years and can certainly verify me, as well as others on EOG. I anticipate a very smooth and successful contest season (as long as Covid doesn’t interfere). The funds will be held in my savings account. John Kelly and I are not eligible to participate in the contest.

The contest is based on selecting winning teams against the spread. The spread used will be the official Super Contest lines, which are static. Contestants must select 5 professional football teams per week. Contestants may not select both sides of the same game on a single entry. The lines are typically announced by about 3PM / 6pm ET on each Wednesday during the NFL football season, and they will be circulated to all contestants as soon as they are available.

Contest winners will be determined by total number of points accumulated during the professional football regular season. Each winning selection against the contest line will count as one (1) point. Ties (pushes) against the contest line count as one half (1/2) point.

Contestants must submit their weekly selections anytime between each Wednesday at 5pm PT / 8pm ET after the Super Contest announces their contest lines and Saturday 11pm PT / Sunday 2am ET, which is the deadline for the week. In the event a contestant wishes to use any games that start prior to the Saturday 11pm PT / Sunday 2am ET weekly entry deadline, then their entire 5 game weekly selections must be submitted prior to the start of the first game. i.e., you wish to use a Thursday game, you must submit all 5 of your games for the remainder of the NFL week prior to kickoff of the Thursday game. Once your five games have been submitted, then they are locked in. You cannot change your selections once submitted.

Contestants who fail to submit their weekly selections by the Saturday 11pm PT / Sunday 2am ET deadline to submit your selections will be awarded zero (0) points for the week. THIS IS STRICTLY ENFORCED.

Since officefootballpool.com does not have a mechanism to lock in your selections when made, you will be required to submit your entries via email to a dedicated contest email box. Once you submit your selections via email, then a copy will be forwarded to myself and JK, and you will receive an acknowledgement. Your selections will then be entered into the officefootballpool.com site for record keeping purposes. Sunday morning, you will be given the grid of everyone’s entries for the week, as well as the subsequent results for the week and year to date standings.

Top 3 finishers in the contest after the end of the NFL season will receive a percentage payout of all entries collected. First place will receive 60% of the total prize fund, second place will receive 30%, and third place will receive 10%. If there is a tie for first and second, then the split is (60+30) / 2 or 45% each, and so forth.

The professional football regular season must consist of 10 full weeks for the contest to be considered valid. If the regular season is less than 10 full weeks, then the contest will be considered no action, and all entry fees will be refunded.

As a default, the contest will use the Westgate Super book house rules, unless otherwise stipulated in these contest rules.

If you have any questions, please private message JK or myself.

Best of luck, and once again, thank you to BetDSI for presenting the contest and their generous contribution, and thank you to EOG for hosting the contest.

Well done, MRBOWLING300.

A select field of 40 with prize money of $11,000.

I like the 60/30/10 purse breakdown.

Fourth place is as good as 40th place.

No house take.

In fact, a 110% payback, an advantage gambler's delight.

Here we go.

Why the screen name MRBOWLING300?

He has 12 perfect games to his credit.

His last "300" game came in 2014.

Real bowlers know that perfect games are recorded only in sanctioned events (practice doesn't count).

I will be in once I'm satisfied there will be at least 10 weeks of an NFL season. Right now I'm nowhere near that point.

In fact, here's a side prop wager:

What will the result of the EOG Pro Football Contest presented by BetDSI be?

Winners declared: +180
"No Action" -220

Fair enough.

Here's hoping the "Winners Declared" prop cashes at 9/5.

Let's get that vaccine!

This should be broken up to "paid" and want to but haven't paid.

Paid is all that matters.

To Screw Andrews' point. if you want to remain anonymous, you can still use venmo for the purposes of this contest. You can send up to $299.99 per week without going through their ID verification process so just set up an account under any name you want and you're good to go.

It links to a bank acct so how does a person stay in the shadows.

This is harder than it has to be.

If you want to stay in the shadows dont play.

Or send cash in a magazine through the post office.

But your fingerprints might be on the envelope.

Maybe bitcoin then.
