Holds Off Competition To Win NFL Hilton Style #6
Congrats to savage55, winner of the 6th Annual NFL Hilton Style Handicapping Contest. He built a 4 game cushion by Week 10 and needed every bit of that lead to hold off Livin the Family Life and other pursuers as the gap narrowed to a mere ½ game in the end. His winning share is a cool $10,080, second only to last year's $11,280 grand prize. Livin the Family Life, stalking the winner since week 12, finishes as the runner-up and takes home $5040. mattattack, a first time top 10 finisher, ended with a flourish, going 18-5-2 L5 weeks and collects $2520. Twisted held on to 4th place, good for $1764, while ECC, kcody9 #2 and -Marines- shared 5th place with each receiving $1134 for their efforts. Rounding out the top 10, Jeff The Nit ended on a strong note and landed in the 8th spot and $882. Jack1999 and Statcentral14 took down 9th and 10th place respectively, each bringing in $756. All in all, another successful and well played out contest with some talented handicappers. And let's not forget Betallsports, our money man extraordinaire, keeping the Contest Funds under lock and key throughout the 17 weeks while jockeying around the country building up those sky miles. Couldn't do this without his help.
Another NFL Contest in the books! A job well done by all.
I would like to say congratulations to all of the Winners .... and Thank you to all who played.
Just like the CFB Contest, we had a very Good group of Handicappers here in the NFL Contest. a very nice Job by RX poster Savage for holding on from the time he took
the Lead. Amazing Job.
Some might not know, Savage55 is actually more of a Totals guy ( unless I'm thinking of someone else ) But I do believe I'm right.
Either way ... Just a great job on his part.

I would also like to Thank JOH again for an Outstanding Job once again..... Without him I really don't think we would even have this Contest each year.
And as some already know, JOH lost his job here under New Ownership. So for him to take a lot of his personal time to make these Spreadsheets, Have them up and Graded
is Amazing....
JOH did Nothing wrong here at The RX to lose his job here... it was just New Ownership making Cuts and letting a few Mods go.
I believe they made a major mistake by letting JOH go, but even though I tried, I couldn't get them to keep him.
So I Really appreciate that after asking him if he would continue to help with these Contests, he said Yes.
Thank you, My Friend.

Now as many know from the past ... this is usually the Time I go on Vacation ... which is No Different here. I am currently in Mexico and will be there until Jan 6th
With that being said, I will not use PP or be able to get any Money orders ( for some that want that payment ) while being in a Different Country
The rest of my trip will include a stop in California for a day, then onto Panama for 3 days.
It will be on that stop that I will start with payments.... and continue on the 10th
Just remember that the larger payments will be doled out into several payments. This has always been the case ... as to avoid any "Red Flags" on both sides.
