hehe, a 3 way race to the bottom?

BtownJay · September 4th, 2007, 01:44 PM

Eh, i'll finish right where I always do, right in the middle of the active players. I'll be technically out of the running by week 5 as always. I have this great ability to pick the wrong teams.

you should bet against yourself then Jay. Make you picks for the draft, and place money on the opposite! Then you are covered either way (bragging rights or $).

I just went down to the local unnamed veterans fraternal organization to get into what is known around here as Lonnies Pool. $170 bucks get you in for the whole season. It pays weekly to whoever picks the most winners against the spread with the big payout coming at the end of the year. Whoever finishes last gets to play next year for free. Every week there is a little get-together on saturday where all players get a free beer and there are small raffles for TV's, steak, lobsters. Last year there were 623 players. The total for all participants came to $105,910. If I recall the overall winner took home just about $10,000. I finished on the first page but out of the money.

BtownJay · September 4th, 2007, 03:24 PM

Holy Shit.. now thats a big pool Bil. Good luck and win it!

lol, good plan Klicks... however, when i get half right and half wrong every week I will lose both.

klicks · September 5th, 2007, 01:08 PM

wow Bil - THAT's a draft. Sounds like loads of fun. Picks are tough when the point spread is in action, but I hope you do well and lead the pack.
LOL at jay - just can't win eh? (see how I got the canuckism in?) Maybe try the coin flip route? A guy in our local NFL draft (using point spread) went pure coin flips last season and ended up finishing 3rd out of 20 of us! Shows you how smart the rest of us that thought we knew what we were doing are(n't).

BtownJay · September 5th, 2007, 01:17 PM

lol, maybe i will try just flipping coins if it starts to get bad.

************* DEADLINE IS TODAY *****************

Anyone who signs up today or tonight, please send me an email or PM as soon as you do so i can activate you before its too late to get your week 1 picks in.

BtownBeers · September 5th, 2007, 02:11 PM

Week 1 sucks for picks...and some of these matchups blow to pick especially in the first week.

ssigmanstinks · September 5th, 2007, 10:06 PM

I definetly agree that this week sucks for picks, I've actually found myself contemplating using your terrible eagles for my week 1 survival pick..... what has my life come to?

AndyC0803 · September 6th, 2007, 08:14 AM

So have I won this thing yet?

Rusty27 · September 6th, 2007, 08:22 AM

It's between you and Ssig.

BtownJay · September 6th, 2007, 09:10 AM

We had a late sign up last night (WHO PM'ed THE WRONG PERSON, lol)... so i have extended the deadline so he can make his picks. So if anyone wants to change anything or if you didn't get your picks in, now is the chance to do so. I will be locking it up again this afternoon to make sure its locked before tonights game.
