Pick 3 of the week... Football Contest

Yes, but maybe I picked the Bears (not that I would want to) knowing that he is talking down the Packers in order to copy my pick and pick them and try and stay ahead (actually tied in total points), that way....... Hmmmmmmm.........I guess we willl all know at kickoff.

Green Bay -3.5 @ Chicago

Just for the fun of it, you ought to have secrete picks over the final few games to avoid gamesmanship. These ought to be submitted to someone not involved and then posted right after the games begin.

I for one want to see a winner rather than a winner take it and support a real charity.

Its a good idea for next year, but it's too late to do it this year. Weve been playing by these rules since week one, can't change them now. Another thing is that this game was designed to showcase my talents. It's called "Vice Lords Locks of the Week" contest. People want to play my selections for real and in order to do that, they have to be able to see them. This can be tweeked next year- We could call it the "try to beat VL if you can" contest.

Listen guys, I think we should have a trusted person take VL and Vikings picks and post them day of the game.

Just so no one can cry foul. LOL VL

Unless you want to wind up in Small Claims Court....Don't you dare change the rules now

There is nothing in the rules that says you can't use an intermediary. In fact, it makes sense to do so. Now you VL, should have to post yours publicly, since the game is to beat you!!

rofllol rofllol rofllol rofllol what an asinine response driven by fear of loosing

A couple of things you seem to overlook, VL. 1) This thread is not called "Vice Lords Locks of the Week". It is called "Pick 3 of the week... Football Contest". 2) Giving the picks to someone to post later is not changing the rules. Nothing was said that your picks had to be displayed. What was agreed upon by all is that your picks needed to be made against a line that everyone uses and that your picks needed to be made before the games begin. Of course, we can remedy this issue another way. Vicking, why do you not post your picks until game time. You can do the same VL. Rest assured, no one on this site depends on you to make a bet, unless they want to bet against you.

I submit you are afraid that you will loose if you do not see other's picks. You've already displayed your paranoia by trying to alter how the winner is picked. Since you are part of the competition, You are NOT entitled to change rules. You can protest all you want. You can threaten all you want. Bottom line though is that you're about as good as a coin flip in calling winners.

Boys, just post right before the game then. Or be prepared to be copied.

Ok, i'll send mine to one of my friends here. Jocko Tripoli
