I want to start up a group on BetJam for the contest, just trying to field some interest before I set it up. Be nice to have a minimum of 5 people. It will lump our stats together, trash talk section, who wins the most money....all that stuff. Your still in the main contest and eligible for all the prizes.

[EaglesPhan36]

I'll do it if you guys don't laugh too hard at my record each week. I think I was 6-9 this week, but then again I didn't make any "real money" bets because I hated most of the lines, so losing in a contest is at least not losing money. ****ing pathetic.

[JBC77]

Alright guys, hopefully we get some more heads to join up.

Group name: sbrforums
Password: jjgold

For anyone thats new, it's a free contest so sign up.

[EaglesPhan36]

Doesn't that password pretty much jinx us all?

Nah....we're good. Be nice to see someone hit the 150K. Or even the weekly $1,500.00. Gotta see who the top earner this year from the SBR board.

I went 10-4 this week, in 125th, thats good for some $$$. Plus I have the Eagles still to go.

It seems like the cutoff to rank high enough to cash is like 9 wins. If heads can pick 9 winners a week you'll come off with a little something.

It's almost always more than 9 needed to cash. I went 10-5 in week 1 (tied for 236th) and didn't get a damn thing.

My ass went 5-10 (1788th) this past week.

[BigDaddy]

does sbr have a subgroup?

If you came in 236th....that should have paid $25. They have a $25 payout listed from 176 to 250. Perhaps an email or call to customer service.

As far as a subgroup, not sure what you mean BigDaddy.

[EaglesPhan36]

Yeah I checked mine again 5-10 also, so don't feel bad. I don't think 9 is going to get you money most weeks, this week was just a wild one. The first week 11-4 was the cutoff I believe.

And I think tied for 236 actually could push you to the tie breakers which might be why you didn't get the $25.

My bad. I was actually tied for 276th.

Most weeks last year required at least 11 wins to finish in the money.

[tblues2005]

I'm in also.I did terrible this week. Did better on beat the prick contest than on betjamaica.

[JBrown1045]

I finished tied for 127 at 9-6. Dismal numbers I would say. Should eb able to atleast hit 11-13.

I think you'll be lower than that after tonight's game.

I agree.

[JBC77]

Well, 10-5 was good for $25, I'll try to parlay it or something.

Looks like a week to take the points.

Balt -7.5
Buf +16.5
Det +6.5
Hou +6.5
Minn +2.5
San Fran +8.5
Bucs -3.5
Cinci +3.5
Oak -3.5
Den -3.5
Car -4.5
Was -4.5
Dal +3.5
Tenn +4.5

They make it super difficult go hit 15-0. As difficult as it would be with the best lines. Notice the lines they put up, that 1/2 point or point they add or subtract. Would take a miracle. It just creates an odd number and zaps any value. Still a great free contest. Like a weekly free lotto ticket.

Anyone remember the Bowmans contest? Not half as good.

[EaglesPhan36]

I better at least have a winning week this time. Here's mine for this week.

Penn St. -3.5
Bama -3.5
Washington +7.5
Florida -21.5
Kentucky +6.5
USC -24.5
Wisconsin -7.5
Az.Cards +7.5
Pats -16.5
Indy -6.5
GB +4.5
SF +8.5
OAK -3.5
DEN -3.5
TEN +4.5

[prop]

I'm in currently overall I'm tied for T183 at 18-12

I got to stick to NFL, college is killing me. I'm in T3 in the VIP.com contest with 24-8 record so far.

[quote=JAnyone remember the Bowmans contest? Not half as good.[/QUOTE]

Wasn't it a season long pize only, and it went by total wins?
I would always end up missing a week and then quiting because missing a week pretty much made it impossible to win anything.

They had a weekly hockey contest before though that one of my friends won.

[rjt721]

Hoping to bounce back from a 5-10 performance last week.

Here's what I got:

Michigan +3.5
L'ville -37.5
Wash +7.5
ND +13.5
Ark. -6.5
USC -24.5
Iowa +7.5
S.C. +16.5
Purdue -14.5
Jets -3.5
Chiefs -2.5
Pack +4.5
Bungals +3.5
Raiders -3.5
Bears -3.5

[prop]

Picks here. I hate a ton of these too and even are betting some of them the other way but can't bet them that way here because of the line difference:

Notre Dame - Hate it
Mississippi - Like it
LSU - Hate it
Buffalo - No opinion
Philadelphia - Hate it
Houston - Like it
Miami - Like it
Green Bay - Really like it
St. Louis - like it
Cincinnati - like it
Cleveland - like it
Jacksonville - like it
Atlanta - LOVE IT
Dallas - like it
Tennessee - really hate it

[JBC77]

I got my a$$ blown out this weekend in the contest....we did have one person in the group cash this week though. I want to see someone get a good hit here.....

Newbies....people, whoever....feel free to sign up with the password in the thread.

[Razz]

Just joined. Week 1 was very good, Week 3 was good, but Week 2 was disastrous. Good luck this week gentlemen.

[JBC77]

All right Razz, good to have you in the sbr group....we got a few people now. One of us is going to have a great week, got to.

And no, I didn't put any real money on L'ville.

[prop]

I cashed but just for $25

Did you guys see the guy who won this week though. He was 14-0 going into Monday night game. All of a sudden he's got himself a $15,000 freeroll. 2 bad he picked the Saints.

At VIP.com's contest everyone in like the top 20 overall standings going into Monday all had the Titans. Heck most every contest player had the Titans - Poor dude had the Saints - Ugh $1K instead of $15K for him.

[LLXC]

Hopefully he hedged that...

[tblues2005]

I know going 14-0 is incredible anyways, he had an awsome week thats for sure.

I did 8-7 this week and a few games really messed me up by losing by one half point on two of them. Hopefully I will do better this week and not have such bad luck.

[Benson17]

I will be in this.

My name for the contest is under: Bensonville

[EaglesPhan36]

Big improvement for me. From 5-10 to 6-9.


I blow.

[EaglesPhan36]

Well I'm tired of being dead after Saturday with college football, so I went with more pro picks this week - as if that will have any effect on my craptacular ability!

This week's loozahs:

Clemson -3.5
Ole Miss +15.5
Michigan St. +7.5
Cal +5.5
Penn St. -3.5
Bears -2.5
Packers -1.5
Falcons +3.5
Jets -3.5
Raiders +3.5
Bucs +2.5
Colts -9.5
Steelers -5.5
Eagles -2.5
Pats -7.5

If all goes according to plan, I should increase by one win again this week and inch closer to a winning record. My guess a 7-8 week.
