Re: Brag : 13 out of 14 so far on NFL Pro Picks!

If Jacksonville wins by some fluke then at least I win something that way too by way of a seperate $200 bet at odds of +150 = a $350 payout. If Jacksonville loses by only 2 Points (the spread is 3) then I win both bets.

Re: Brag : 13 out of 14 so far on NFL Pro Picks!
solids I agree.. this is putting me on monkey life tilt.. how many people do you think are gonna hit 14 of 14.
I don't really get the rules of this contest but true odds of hitting a 14 team parlay are 16,384 to 1. Jacksonville has a very real chance of winning, it wouldn't be a "fluke", they are a very good team and at home and normally give indy fits.

[/ QUOTE ] (sigh) I know that $200 is a relatively big win for you and all. But do you realize that if you bet a much higher amount, say $50,000, you are guarenteed at least $50,000 regardless of the outcome of the game??? If you only bet $200, you are only guarenteed $200. C'mon, use your brain here. Do you hate money or something?

[/ QUOTE ] it would help to know what the average 14 of 14 winner makes. Obviously there might be a few others with the same picks. It also sounds like you are a very small time bettor, and you'd have the chance to lock up about (guestimate here) 30k+ win and you'd think you would be jumping at that chance off a $5 ticket.

Re: Brag : 13 out of 14 so far on NFL Pro Picks!
I do reaalize what you are saying.
I also realize that when that lady won 444K there were approx 89,000 tickets bought at $5 each. and 1 winnar = 444K. If for instance this time the game has become more popular and there were 100,000 tickets played for a prizepool of 500K. Now what if somehow 400 ended up picking winners since there weren't any really crazy upsets this weekend. That would make my payout $1250. A far cry from $444K. Just my thoughts.

Re: Brag : 13 out of 14 so far on NFL Pro Picks!
^^^
Just curious, but what contest is this? I'm surprised they don't let you know the prize pool once all bets are in. Also, the odds of 400 people, let alone 5 people, picking every game correctly is so small it's ridiculous. I would still bet much more than $200.
