Are you ready to roll people. Here's The official Week 1 thread. All bets need to be in before Kickoff, and once a bet is in it is locked and Can NOT be changed for whatever reason. You MUST also INDICATE which bet is your Lock Of The Week. If it is not indicated than you will not have a Chance at the bonus point for any game.

QUICK REVIEW OF THE RULES


Every week, around Thursdays, I will be releasing a Point Spread and Total for each game. After that people have to make their picks based on the Numbers I give, No Buying Points, No First Half Spreads, No Teasers. All Spreads must be using the numbers that I give. The Number I will put up will be the most common spread across the board. The Rules are as simple as this, you need to Pick 4 Games. 3 Bets are all normal Bets but 1 Bet has to be your LOCK OF THE WEEK. The way I will be scoring this year is this, I will be using a point system Each Normal Bet is worth 1 point if you get it right, however the Lock Of The Week is worth 2 points. So the maximum number of points you can get throught out the week is 5 Points. You can use any combinations of Totals or Spreads based on whatever bets you think are the strongest.

I will be counting all the numbers throught out the week, and Results will be posted on the Tuesday after the week.

Pre-Season will NOT BE counted.

The Rewards for this:
The winner of the Regular Season Will receive $500 from me.
However this is the best part of this competition, the Top 10 Handicappers will be advancing to the Playoffs next year. No Points will be carried over, but the Top 10 will be advancing to the Playoffs, where we will have a brand new season. The Winner of the Playoffs will then win an additional $500 from me.

I will be competing in this as well, but only for competitive purposes. If I happen to win any stage of this, 2nd place will then win the prize amount.

1 Major Rule is this:
You are NOT allowed to switch your pick once you've made it. Even if you want to change it 1 minute later, so make sure you know what you are taking. This prevents people from changing their picks for strategy purposes or for injury purposes.

Another thing is if when you make the pick, you choose a team, but the wrong spread then your pick will Be the Team you picked, and the spread that I have given.

For Example:

Miami at Dallas -12

You type Dallas +12

Or you type Dallas -13

In both situations You are going to end up taking Dallas at -12.


Anyways people that's all I have to add for now if you have any questions ask me and I will answer all questions in this thread.



Disclaimer: The Rx Forum has no responsibility if I stiff out on the money, as they are only the Forum I am using for to promote my competition.


Wilheim You think I could get a sticky for this thread, Please and Thank You...
