Bowl Contest

Featured Replies

Third annual bowl contest. As always click the betting link at the top of any page then scroll down and click the link either in the first table or the contests table further down and make your selections.

As usual you can bet 0 and still have it count in this contest. Or you can bet as normal and possibly win from the bet itself.

A note to Aaron yet again: NONE OF THESE are using odds. They simply tell who is favored. They are ALL 34 straight up bets.

You do not have to make every selection now, as each game can be bet on until game time. However I suggest making all 34 picks to avoid possiblity of forgetting.

Am I betting on these games with or without points?

If it is with points, please cancel all my picks and return my points please. I was picking winners based on no point spread.

Thanks You

They are all straight picks, not point spread picks. There was a topic about this in the contests forum. All of these are straight up. Any time something says favored by, it's straight up. When it says must win by it's using the point spread. All of these were straight picks.

Great I forgot to pick the winner of today's first game, so maybe a slight chance for Aaron if he gets it right since he picked after many games were played and was at a disadvantage.

I got on here 2 minutes too late to bet. And I'm a fair admin, so not going to cheat and put in my pick late. :)

Thats why I usually dont bother with betting here anymore. By nothing being updated, it takes away any excitement that I might have to see how I did. If the admin dosent care, why should I?

The admin does care, thus why he keeps spending money on a site nobody posts on. :)

Like I said, you hadn't been on here at all so I hadn't eben updating it. I believe you're mistaken on the betting though, as usually I pay them out almost immediately.

In this instance it's a bowl contest also which people aren't normally paid out on until the end as far as real life goes. I apologize goe taking so long to update it, however. But like I said there was seriously nobody on ehre for a month and even with me sending out an email about the contest and mentioning it on another site only 1 person joined it. lol

I have paid out all of the completed games. You've already wrapped up this contest no matter what happens during the final 4 bowl games.

I paid out the first 30 matchups and man was it ever confusing when I made sure it all paid out properly. I'm hesitant to trust it still so I write down our various totals before paying everything out. It's complicated since some numbers are based on total you bet plus total you won, some are based on only winnings, etc... so it's all confusing, but I finally got all the numbers to add properly so it indeed paid out flawlessly.

However what annoys me is it says I picked Cincy against florida! I wish I had caught that before I submitted. I think it's because my mouse is acting weird so I accidentally selected the wrong team apparently. I picked florida all the way and would have picked them in the national championship had they been there also. I missed out on 1,900 points due to my mistake! But I'm just eating the mistake since I didn't catch it before the game started.

Also I really need to remember to add in jackpot incrementation in the future, as well as a tie breaker, both features which I already use in bracket contests.

Congratulations to Guy for winning the contest. he correctly picked 23 of 27. He did not make selections for 7 of the 34 matchups, but still easily beat me. Unfortunately only us two were in the cotnest, but he has nonetheless gained a lot of points on me due to recent contests.

  • Author

Yeah I wish you had been able to make the other selections just tos ee if you still would have had only 4 losses. Either way it was great. I should add a feature some time where it keeps records for who got the most right on any bracket in the history of the site etc etc.
