College Football Pick6 Gamble (1 Viewer)

[bsdunbar1]

I am a huge college football fan, don't care much about the NFL but love me some college ball.
Anyways, for years I have run a "Pick6" for the college football games each week.
It is for beer money, no big stakes.
Last year I had 51 players and ended up with a $1805 prize pool. Here is how it works, let me know if someone is interested.

• Season = 14 weeks
• Pick 6 games by the spread I send out each week, Send picks by email only please
• All picks must be emailed to me no later than Sat morning @ 9:00am
• For every game you lose you owe $1
• Pay all at once 1 week after last game
• Prize pool is generated by the number of collective losses from everyone
• ~Top 6 get paid
• Winners are those who pick the most games each week correctly
• Avg loss = ~$35
• I send out the spreads every Tuesday
  everyone's picks to everybody before noon each Sat
  the results every Sunday
  the standings every Monday

Also in.

Do you take Venmo?

 

[bsdunbar1]

Just for you - Yes

 

[WedgeRock]

I'll be honest. I'm looking to launder my venmo into some other form of currency. I don't want to connect my bank account to my venmo account. And without doing that, I can't transfer my venmo balance.

If I can pay by venmo, that would be awesome. Please, don't do it just for me.

 

[bsdunbar1]

I was only kidding since I seen you had other posts that you wanted Venmo exclusively.
One form of electronic payment or another, makes no difference to me.
Its all good.

How much you got in venmo?

~$50ish

I could PayPal you the amount you have in Venmo if you want to trade.

In. Thanks for doing this. Sounds like fun.

One question: Do you pick a 6 specific games of the week we all choose. Or do you provide a list of a whole slew of games and each person picks the 6 that appeal to them?

Either way, I’m in, making my $35 dollar donation in the name of football entertainment.

 

[bsdunbar1]

I send out all the games and you pick whichever 6 games you think are winners - by the spread.

 

[WedgeRock]

Will we get a list of everyone else's picks? Seeing the deadline is rather close to kickoff, I assume not.

Will we get a summary of everyone's picks on Monday along with how much we owe?

Just curious to see what teams/spreads other people are picking and track how quickly I put distance between me and second place...

Avg loss = ~$35

Also, curious as to what the biggest loss was last year, and the smallest contribution over 14 weeks.

 

[bsdunbar1]

Yes, I will send out everyone's picks before the Sat morning games.
on Sunday I will send everyone the results of everyone's picks
Sunday/Monday I will send out standings and that sheet shows what each person lost for each week and the totals.

Once we get through 1 cycle everything will make sense.

 

[WedgeRock]

Is it Friday yet?

 

[bsdunbar1]

Games start Thursday!

2018
Bubble Boy = $33
Last Place = $52

Not my games...

2018
Bubble Boy = $33
Last Place = $52

So 6 games a week x 14 weeks is 84 games... So someone went 32 and 52... I think I can beat that.
