how other than you and "I are in this?

[trytrytry]

dirty how many we have thus far for this? small group but will still be a great test for the winner..

[trytrytry]

dirty does everything get graded as a -110 play no matter what is listed..or is it exactly what is listed for grading purposes on the juice?

[trytrytry]

why do you need to list the juice if its highest winning % ONLY that determines the winner..


ALL ROTATION NUMBERS, TEAMS AND LINES MUST BE POSTED WITH EACH PLAY OR IT WILL BE GRADED AS A LOSS!!!!! NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!
Highest Winning Percentage will determine the winners.

[BlackJack]

453 carolina +7
468 houston +2
459 detroit +2.5
466 Jax -1.5
480 Jets under 36

[trytrytry]

have to say thanks to bookmaker and Dirty for this one.

we only have a few players who posted up real cash on the word that bookmaker would support no matter what. GREAT! lets start

Bookmaker commitment to adding $100011 nice! so we have some fun here, traffic and a nice little pot to go after...but 1st 2nd and 3rd in payoffs for a small group? perhaps 1st 70% second 30% is all we need to do here..

Prizes

Prize money will consist of All Post up Funds Plus at Least $1000 Cash Added by Bookmaker.
Payouts will be based on Players.
30 and less players we will payout 3 spots -- 70%/20%/10%

[trytrytry]

blackjack Id say your Ok with what you posted...Dirty sort of has an error in the rules that says, rotation, line, and juice to be legal...but its a winning percentage only league as per the rules so the juice makes no difference...maybe to be safe for week one add the juice to your picks that are in the lines selection?

[trytrytry]

453 Carolina Panthers +7 -125
459 Detroit Lions + 7 1/2 -130

459 Detroit Lions over 44 -110
