Sorry that wasn't written clearer, it's been clarified.

The prizes are cash credits.

I like that scoring system.....

sam what kind of scoring would you prefer.... are you gonna be running a big bracket contest for cash at your school? Sam have you considered booking at your school? it can be very profitable with clueless college squares... you can take a -7 line in college football public favs and move it to -13 and still have people pounding the favs

Chi_ I've been running Fantasy Football for over 3 years. I created my own program to do scoring and shit. 12 People each year, friends and family.

I've also run NCAA brackets since 9th grade. I also created a scoring program, not as good, but it work....last year I had 73 ppl in it friends/family.

Scoring system

why don't you like this system then???? pretty similar but you get rewarded if you are keen and pick some under-dogs....

imo picking a 12 over 5 upset..should not only get you 1 point, the same as picking a 16 over 1

ect...

IDC, I'm going to 5 dimes....50% initial deposit 5x roll over, plus 5 dimes has better juice on all lines

They've called me three times since I signed up last weekend for the Survivor competition. Certainly not even remotely as bad as BookMaker, but still more frequently than I appreciate.
