This is a confidence game pool! The rules are fairly simple and I will explain underneath how this game works, if you still do not understand the game, please ask. I want to get a lot of people into this game, so let's put the pool buy-in at 200fg for each member, and you are allowed to buy other people in if you would like to be generous and increase the pot total.


Let's get to it boys


Rules/FAQ

1) Each player picks every NFL game for the week, placing a "weight" from 1 to the number of games that week based
on how confident they are that the team they picked will win (e.g. for a 16 game week, the weight range is 1 through 16).
2) The more points assigned to a pick, the more confident they are that team will win.
3) For each correct pick, they receive the number of points (weight) they assigned to that pick.
4) Games are picked ATS, or against the spread
5) What is a spread? A Spread - Pretty simple, really. Let's say the official spread on a game is Cleveland +5 vs. Dallas; if I were to bet on Cleveland, I would add five points to Cleveland's final score and if that is greater than Dallas' score, I would win the bet. If I were to bet on Dallas, the spread would be Dallas -5; thus, I would subtract five points from Dallas' final score and if it is greater than Cleveland's score, I would win the bet. You will see spreads with .5 points, this is to eliminate the possibility of a tie, so the spreads aren't officially official, but they're as close as I can get them.
6) You do not lose points if you pick a game wrong, so the lowest score is a 0, but you only gain points by getting your games correct
7) Each numerical value can only be used ONCE and each game gets a different numerical value
(Only one game can get a 14, only one game can get a 13, only one game can get a 12, et cetera)
8) What decides if you get points? Great question reader! The score determines if you get points, based against the spread, you earn your points through the game and if you are correct, if you are not correct you have wasted that numerical value and will not receive it this week.
9) This game is not for welchers/blacklisted, WPB can play.
10) Not a rule, but if you win, please tip the med who hosts the FG.
11) I reserve the right to bar anyone I deem from this game

How to submit picks and get into the confidence game!


1) First, send your 200 FG to Josh
2) I will post the spreads that will be used for everyone, you will use those spreads
3) Post your picks in this thread, if you do your picks on Sunday... don’t edit them after 12:00 central time or you will be disqualified.
4) Format your picks like this:

Etc etc

5) Once your picks are sent in, you are good to go, after any Sunday game kicks off, be it 6AM or Noon or whenever ANY games kick off the confidence game will be closed for the week and there will be no more submissions allowed
7) The winner is the guy with the most points at the end of Monday Night Football
8) Pot will be 1st = 70%, 2nd = 20% and 3rd = 10% of the total po



The games and spreads we will use are here. If I post it, that spread is final... I’m not going to go through and change everything.
