The premise is simple... every week you will pick the winner of every single game, and the points awarded are weighted by the vig-free moneyline.

30 points wagered on 15 games and 50 points on the game of the week, for a total of 500 points wagered per week.

The winner of the previous week gets to select the following week's GOTW!

When there are bye weeks, each game will be worth slightly more to bring the total to 500/week.

LAST year we got rid of the whole submitting pick lists via PM, and instead you can just click buttons on a google form!





Submit a full slate of picks before each week's Thursday Night Football kickoff to get full credit.
Any submissions after that get an automatic zero for TNF but are still eligible for credit for the rest of the sunday/monday games.
Any submissions after 1pm eastern on Sundays get a big fat zero for the week




Have fun!!!

IN!

The Swami contest of course is free to participate, but if you want something on it to root for, I'll be holding for the $20 side pool!

It's $20 up front one time, for the whole season.

The following people have expressed interest, and have been pm'ed:

marknfw

If you'd like to participate, post in this thread or send me a pm, and I'll get you shipping details.

I can accept Venmo, PayPal, or CashApp.

Payouts to be determined based on number of entries!

I'm up for the side pool

Also, re: the side pool...

If a side bettor doesn't submit for a week, can we give him the score of the lowest bot that week?

Also, does everyone like the "drop everyone's 1 lowest week?" I like that because it's a long season through the holidays, and stuff comes up.

from the tail end of the last thread

LAST year we got rid of the whole submitting pick lists via PM, and instead you can just click buttons on a google form!

Click buttons? Hell yes, I can do that!

I can also click away $20 with the best of them.

I'm on board with the lowest bot for an absentee ballot.

I have a mild preference for not dropping the lowest week. Very mild.

In.

No donation of $20 though.

In for the $20 side pool.

Let's see if this year I can finish higher than last.

I predict I get Top 5. Prolly 4th or 3rd.

Years ago for fun, maybe it was 2011 or 2012 season I forget, I picked all games against the spread and kept track. I finished exactly 50%. It was uncanny.

Will in

YES

In for side pot, will sort it eventually

I'm in. Yes also for the $20 side pot.

In for the $20 side pool

Whoops I sent £20 instead of $, is $4 enough for a pint in lolUSA TJ?

I guess it depends on where you go for it!

Am I able to send back the excess, or does that not work with currency exchanges?

It's all good just keep it

Thanks, I’ll drink to your good health

I’ve received from a bunch of people, I’ll update the accounting when I get home

I think either one takes care of the other.

If you forget, you get the bot score. Or if you forget, you get 0 but it's dropped. Don't see the need to do both.

I'm cool with what you boys that are running the game decide.

In for $20 side.

I've received money from 12 people:

Still time to enter!

Post here if you're in, and I'll pm you shipping details.

I'm somewhat tempted to throw $20 in the mix (and on fire) as I'll be doing some actual research for my picks this year.

In for the side pool!
