    Red face Won the lottery, and got hit by a bus.

    Well thats what it feels like.

    I play a local contest here for the NFL, no spread, just pick the winners. Well Ive been close every week, but this week I was setup good going into the sunday night game. I was 12-0 on two entries (I got five), one with the Steelers (Ravens MNF), and one with the Chargers (Broncos MNF). So I knew I would have a 13-0 going into monday night. I had the Broncos (tiebreaker 33) on it, and well, so did 1597 other motherfcukers. So the person with the best tiebreaker won $10,000, and the rest of us got $12.53.

    I kinda figured it was a bad week to go 14-0, because every damn moneyline favorite won. But to win only $12.53, is like getting kicked in the balls.

    Thats just sick onlooker. you go 14-0 and only win $12.53. Stop and ask yourself is it really worth spending that much in entry fees if your only going to get that much on your return after going perfect one week.

    You got to remember, they basicaly paid me to play. Because I won one of those $500 drawings at that early bird party. Minus the $100 for the 5 entries, that makes me up on the contest $412.53.

    So all Im spending on this is the time to fill out the entry cards each week. Which is not a big deal.

    These are SU picks rather than ATS, right? If so, I'd still be pissed off getting 14-0 and winning next to jack all.

    owned,

    I imagine that would have been next to impossible to nail that total, but I've seen stranger things...

    Im not sure, I didnt go asking about the tiebreaker.

    I know the tiebreaker for that MNF between the Steelers and Jaguars was 23, that final was 9-0. So its the closest to the total. Then I think if you have more then one with the right tiebreaker, it goes to earliest entry.
