NFL 2008 "Pick'em Share Pool"
Just to make it clear, it really wasn't a huge deal. It's just that 2 people asked me to change a wager for them this year. Since I said at the beginning of the year that I can't do it, I kept my word there. I honestly didn't think I had the power to even do it. The 2nd person that asked me to delete their bet(before the game, obviously) actually pointed out that I CAN delete picks before a game as commissioner. But I couldn't do it for him, since I didn't do it for the 1st person. I hope this clears things up.
Even next year, I will keep the same rule. I fully expect a minimum of 150 next year, and I don't want to have to change 50 bets on a Sunday morning if a star player trips, coming out of the locker room just before the game, and is out.
Good luck guys. I hope everyone is having fun with this.

Marty Last year, the contest wasn't done for entire season. I cannot remember when we started or how much the winner had....10,000 or so. I'm guessing the winner will have to accumulate 20,000+++ to win.

Yeah Marty, as GLY said, it was over 10,000 last year, but the contest was only for a few weeks last year, so we all went bonsai...
In my opinion, I think it will be close to GLY's estimate...But then again, for people to get that many shares, they'll have to maintain positive wagers over the next 13 weeks. So who knows? The winners may be in the 5,000 range.
I'm glad to see everyone is enjoying it. That was my main objective. I knew I loved this format and thought I'd give everyone else a shot at it. Make sure you tell your friends about it next year and we'll see if we can hit the 200+ mark.
Good luck,
Marc

Someone ends the contest with 20000+++ and I pay GLY entry fee.
Thanks and have a nice day.

Thanks and have a nice day. I think GLY is correct winner will have over 20,000. I hope I get my entry fee paid as well. 23,500 or more it will take to win this.

I'd be very impressed if someone cracked the 20,000 mark.
How many people are left, and you all started with 1,000?
We'll see.
Unless you go bonkers like last year...I'd say most will either become extremely conservative, or go broke.

Well if people keep betting GB over TB, things could end real quick.

I find it hard to believe someone will havee 20,000 . i think 15k at the most. the longer the weeks mean more of a chance to lose.
