In horse racing, always pick the one that pees last, and never the gray horse.



Interesting system you have there Hoot, mines not as complicated.

I always just try to pick the fastest horse.

VL, I think the deadline to pick needs to be extended to Wednesday, especially as, for this first week, today is a holiday and many people are out of town, or taking a break from the boards.

Plus, I'm not ready yet! :biggrin: Thank you!!!

Okay, but the first game this week, and some other weeks, is Thursday...so does that mean that everyone just has to make their selection by kickoff Thursday night for that game only if they want to use it as one of their picks?

You can make your picks right up until game time (using the opening lines) of any games - Of course you cannot pick a game after it kicks off. Once picks are made you cannot change them for any reason. If you have not made your 3rd pick at Kickoff of Monday nights game this week you are disqualified. Missed picks/weeks for any reason count as loses and the player WITH THE MOST WINS (ties will be used only as tie breakers)...WINS

$1000 cash.
1 free drink with the Vice Lord and "Lil Precious" when I deliver prize winnings
1 $50 coupon from Red Lobster
3 Courtside seats to a DU basketball game

BTW, just so y'all know, the prize is coming from VL, not 285Bound - I'm looking forward to winning that $1K myself! :biggrin:

Just in Hoot-Peyton Manning is not playing..By rule you can't change it, but I'll help you with your picks next week if you want? There's no rule against that


OK, this is officially the stupidest rule ever but what else would you expect from a amateur like VL. So if a QB breaks a leg minutes after you pick and the spread changes, you can't change your pick? And what spread do you get to use? So if it was pick when Hoot picked Indy and now it is +10, do they get the plus 10 now?

You still have not said which spread we are using. Many are just naming teams without a spread. So is it the final spread at kickoff no matter when you picked?

Renegade was great at posting the official spreads that we were using each week. Wonder if VL can do that?
