Ive been running this on TOS free board for a handful of years. We normally get a small group of 8 to 10. I wouldn't do it over here because I don't want to take away from the Pick em game Tom has had going on for forever. That board is dying and there has been a discussion about trying to get some more people. This game is only B10 matchups and involves wagering phony money on points spreads and/or the over/under. The rules are below:
How the game works
1. All games involving B10 teams will be posted a day before any games are played. Typically, Friday before noon. Each game will have a point spread and an over/under.
2. Each participate will start with a value (10.00) and will wager on the option that they feel most confident with. The more confident the participant is the higher the amount they will wager.
3. If the participant gets the pick right. The value of the wager is added to their total amount. If the participant is wrong. The value of the wager is subtracted from their total amount.
4. It is a season long competition. So your total value will go up or down week to week.
5. The guy with the most in the end wins
6. There is no real money involved and it is purely for fun.
Weekly Rules
1. All participants is required to make a minimum of three picks or 1.00 in value a week. Failure to meet the minimum standard picks for the week will result in a .50 penalty, but all participates will be given a one week grace. The penalty will start if a second week is missed. (It is understood that this is for fun and its not the most important thing you will do in a given week)
2. Minimum wager is .10, and Maximum wager is .50.
3. There is no limit on how many picks you can make in a single week, but you cannot wager more than you have. Week one at 10.00, you can make a maximum of 20 wagers at .50
4. A pick for any single game must submitted prior to that game starting. A player can make multiple picks on Friday and if they decide Saturday late afternoon to make another pick beyond those made the day before in a late game. There is nothing wrong with this. With the time stamp on your post, it is easy to see if picks are made before games start.
The guy that won last year finished with 14.75, he also made up 8.00 on the leader in the last week. Leader missed 9 of his last 10 picks, while the guy that won hit his last 10 in a row. If interested, here is a link to the game thread. The first set of picks is up.
