JOH I'm still in for 2 entries each CFB and NFL, but I'm no longer interested being part of the totals contest.

Sent LTFL $600 today.

well the whole payout issue from last year prob has something to do with it

 

[CaptainLee]

Question for JOH.

Is it technically possible to allow changes to picks once made?

I know there is usually not much sympathy for this, but I think it would be a benefit to the contest. One could put something in early and then come back and make changes later. This would help prevent folks from missing a week altogether due to spacing out, losing their connection at deadline time, or being out of service. Sure, it's their own fault, and I never miss and actually benefit from this rule, but from a promotion side, you want to keep everybody happy and coming back next year.

Keeping some of us happy involves having rules and following them without exceptions.

Miss a deadline and it's a goose egg - period.

A change I'd like to see are quit spreading the payouts too thin. The payout structure should be based on the # of entries, not stating the top ten are going to be paid and then realize only 14 people are involved.

Another one would be that if a game isn't available to bet, then it is off the board for that week. Hate that Westgate posts contest lines that they wouldn't book at that moment.

Regardless, I accept the contest rules as presented and look for angles within what's offered.

In case you didn't notice, the NFL Totals Contest pays top 2... 70/30.

Good luck to all.

sherwood... It's $100 for CFB Contest. Not $200.

 

[JOH]

Statcentral14... Are you in CFB for 1 or 2 entries? The Entry # field stays blank if only in for 1.

Will be a great payout structure after it reaches 50 entries a few years from now. :banger:

Nowhere yet. It's a week away. Everything is documented as to when lines will be posted on the rules page.

Last day to send out a MO for the CFB Contest. Hopefully it will be received by Tuesday. Otherwise, have a screenshot ready to send as proof of payment. Still time for Pay Pal payments.
