That bet on the under was a bust.

That bet on the under was a bust.

It pushed. The bet on ML Ravens lost though. It was a very small bet. Honestly I'm happy to escape my total play with a push.

[bobblehead]

I'm in, although it says picks incomplete because I didn't get the first one. I'm assuming it will score the rest for me though.

You did the confidence points?

[bobblehead]

Yep

[MadtownPacker]

You pick the Pack like a homer?

You pick the Pack like a homer?

Why wouldn't I??

edit: Just looked in on last week. Not bad since I missed game 1. I fekked up though. I actually bet Houston -2.5 and lost by the hook, but I clicked Indy by accident in the contest and lost 5 points.

Fun contest. I'll try and keep up all season.

Not sure how that happened. I'll enjoy the week at the top.

We have new players this week. How does it work for them to win the season?

They need to have several really good weeks to catch up.

We could bump their score by 1/17th at the end. So if they score for instance 1500 points it would average 93.75 for a final score of 1593. Its for fun so if I have 1592 and its the actual best I'm still claiming victory though!!

You snooze you lose. You can earn weekly honor, but full season honors will be difficult to achieve.

If you give new entrants a pass for week one, then you have to do the same for anyone else who misses a week in the guise of fairness. Sometimes, life ain’t fair.

Like I said, no money involved so it really doesn't matter. If someone missed week 1 and comes within 50 I'm recognizing that person as the best on the season though.

So we can develop a new stat: PICK EFFICIENCY

This is: Number of Points / Number of Picks

A valid pick needs 1) Game winner selected, and 2) Confidence points selected.
A participant will need to have 204 picks (3/4 of the total games) by the end of the season to qualify.

If this is implemented, I will have to ask for the Commissioner's salary to be doubled because this requires MATH.
