NFL 2008 "Pick'em Share Pool"

Diesel · Post by **Diesel** » Wed Sep 03, 2008 1:40 pm

This is a crazy time of year for many people. I'm sorry to the 10-12 people I had to turn down, but I knew this last minute rush would happen. The season starts tomorrow and I didn't want to scramble around at the last minute signing people up. It's hard enough with 91...For those who couldn't enter, please sign up early next year. I started the signups in JUNE...

Good luck to everyone. I sent 90 emails tonight. If you haven't signed up yet, let's get a fire under yer arse and get going!

Marc

This is going to be fun, again! Thanks for handling everything Marc. Thanks for entering Patrick. I AM still scorned by KJDUKE last year. That irked me BIG TIME. GreenBay losing to the Giants in Lambeau? It just wasn't supposed to be! And to add insult to injury, I had SNAKE PM'ing me telling me NOT to do it...I was in a bad mood for a few weeks last post-season...Oh yeah, I ALSO lost the $10,000 Post Season contest when Plaxico caught that TD in the 4th quarter. So I can now officially say the Giants can kiss my "Tank Abbott" looking asss... [/QUOTE]Hey Marc...if memory serves me correctly, that Burress TD got me 2nd place in that contest. Sorry it had to hurt you.

Primo [/QUOTE]Richie, you should be REALLY Happy, because the Giants lost a fan because of that play. I just couldn't celebrate the Giants superbowl last year, knowing it cost me $9750...Bitter-Sweet isn't even the word. More like just bitter. [/QUOTE]C'mon, Marc...you're not gonna tell me you didn't throw down a wager on the G-Men, are you? That would have eased the pain at least a little.

Primo, I guess I should have hedged the bet, but I didn't have the foresight to do that. I was working nights at the time and I didn't even watch the superbowl live. I had Stephen Jupinka calling me with updates. No tv, and the radio I had didn't have good reception on the AM dial...It was a tough night. But I'll make it up this year!

My first wager is in! I wish there were paylays available! That would have made it even more fun!!!

Russ, if I allowed Parlays, I would have had to charge everyone to run this contest. There are a LOT of questions from everyone now, and there are only point spreads and over-unders...I would have to make this my second job with parlays involved!!

Not that I will ever be near the computer, but I believe if we hit on a 1:00 game we can turn right around and bet again on a 4:15 game.

Is this correct?

Anybody laying it all on the BOY'S in week-1?

Ken,

As long as the 1PM game ends in time for the website to update the shares, you'll be able to wager your new shares for the 4-4:15 game. If the games end very close, the shares may not be updated, and you may have to wait for the late game.
