pilgrimshoes ran this game last year, he is busy though so I will get it started.

See last year's thread: message_topic.aspx?topic=469073 , a lot of people did well.

I am going to copy from that thread now:

The premise:

Im going to list the teams, and the Bodog line for over under total number of wins this season.

You make your list, for each team displayed, selecting the over, or the under on total wins (regular season wins only).

you also get favorite points, with which to distribute at your will for each of your picks. you must bet your favorite points accordingly....

1 - least favored
28 - highest favored

so, for example, Florida Marlins are at 76.5. Id pick the under, and go heavy, allotting my max favorite points, or 28 for it.

catching on?


OK, so everyone that enters must follow the correct format, and have your picks in before opening day. If your format is incorrect, or you mix up the teams, your entry is invalid, but hopefully I'll catch it, and tell you you need to rework it.

the format will be to use the teams in order that I have them listed, which is alphabetical.

team - over/under - favorite points

ill track the picks on a spreadsheet, and the winner will be announced at the end of the season.

if anyone wants to make it spicy, we can set a bread level and have a seperate game going.


Unfortunately the Red Sox and A's already have started their regular season..no lines for them.
