there may be a time near the end of the first round, when your team has played 20 games, and some others have not...U will not pick after that until everyone has picked their first 20 games.......we will start the playoffs the day after every team has played their 20th game.....

I will post the lines the night before each day, and u simply must state in that thread........Lakers (-7) will not cover, or Lakers (+7) will cover.......u only pick your teams game.....

I will update the standings daily also....

If you do not post a play for a day when your team has a game, it will be a loss.....

Any pushes on lines, will be graded as such, a tie.......A record of 14-5-1 would beat 14-6......2 ties would equal a win and a loss, in other words, should it happen, 14-4-2, would be the same as 15-5....they would go to a tiebreaker........

Bucs: As the teams will not all reach 20 games played at the same time, it's important for all players to keep selecting until they have been officially eliminated.
Some teams might have 21 games played while another might have only 18. As we get closer to this in early December it'll be something to watch for carefully.
In the meantime, I'm off to Philly on a scouting trip.
Once again best of luck to all

Bucs: I was writing as you posted and I see where we are to stop once we've got to 20 games and wait. OK by me.
Glad I saw that before I left for Philly.

how does matchplay work? If you win your matchplay you then have to roll it over how many times
?

bill, a matchplay, is when u get money to bet with....If the bet wins, u get the winnings, but the money u spent to get it is used up...

For instance, say you had $110.00 in your account, and u bet $110 on the Saints today, you win, you would now have $210.00 in your account...

with matchplay, you would bet the 110.00, and when u won u would then have 100.00 cash in your account....u dont get the bet back....only the winnings...but the winnings are the transferred over to cash.....

hopefully i am explaining that the right way so u understand what i mean....lol

If not i am sure Fred can explain it better in the morning....

Yeah I get that but once it is in your account Is it yours to withdraw? I was under the impression that GA requires it to be rolled over?

I SEE, WELL FRED WILL HAVE TO ANSWER THAT, I AM NOT SURE....I KNOW THE WINNINGS IN THE FIRST 2 ROUNDS DO NOT HAVE TO BE ROLLED OVER, BECAUSE THEY ARE EQUIVALENT OF THE POST UPS....THE LATER ROUNDS DO HAVE A ROLLOVER, THEY ARE IN THE RULES.....

I WOULD HOPE THAT PEOPLE WILL TRY THEM OUT WITH SOME OF THE WINNINGS, THATS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE CONTEST, TO BRING NEW BUSINESS TO THEM, AND GIVE THEM A CHANCE....OTHERWISE, WE WOULD JUST BE PAYING BACK THE POST UP, WITH NO CONTRIBUTION FROM GAMBLERS AVENUE.....

BUT I DONT THINK THERE WILL BE ANY ROLLOVER ON THE MATCHPLAY....ITS ONLY 100.00, AND U WILL HAVE TO PLAY IT AT LEAST ONCE BEFORE U COULD WIN ANYTHING ANYWAY....THAT WOULD BE ENOUGHT OT TAKE ME OUT OF IT....LOL

How can we stop cheating from going on? For instance I have Boston, if I got to be buddies with Beaner there is no doubt I could go 20-0. This guy is that consistant!

He's consistant even when he puts his picks in at halftime. LOL.

It makes more sense for the regular season to be 30 games instead of 20. Am i missing something?

LMFAO...

ONLY DIFFERENCE HERE IS YOU CANT PUT YOUR PLAY IN 15 MINUTES AFTER THE GAME STARTS.....SO THAT MIGHT HURT HIS 20-0 CHANCES.......
