2013-2014 NFL Playoffs Pick 'Em For vCash ....

[Southieinnc]

With nothing left but the Super Bowl, a perfect bracket would look like this thus far:

Let me check......

 

[Shanemansj13]

I can win if Denver wins and the over/under has to be close to 51.

 

[boltfan72]

I went from leading the pack to eating my 49ers/Pats prediction in a matter of 7 hours.

 

[tabascojet]

how about an scoring update going into Sb? we got two weeks....

 

[BusSport]

The prizes are, respectively, 5000, 3000, and 2000 vCash. With only the Super Bowl left, there are exactly 5 possible win scenarios. No one has clinched (no one is guaranteed vCash), and there remain exactly 7 entrants in the running for vCash.

If Denver wins and the total score is 54 or less:

1st place: Shanemansj13 (26 points and wins tiebreaker)
2nd place: gandydancer (26 points)
3rd place: MileHigh64 (25 points)

If Denver wins and the total score is 55 or more:

1st place: gandydancer (26 points and wins tiebreaker)
2nd place: Shanemansj13 (26 points)
3rd place: MileHigh64 (25 points)

If Seattle wins:

1st place: gvsulaker (26 points)
2nd place: SomeGuy (23 points)
3rd place:
- if total score is less than 50, HaroldSeattle (22 points and wins tiebreaker)
- if total score is exactly 50, HaroldSeattle and LogicallyLethal (22 points and exact tie) will split 3rd place prize
- if total score is more than 50, LogicallyLethal (22 points and wins tiebreaker)

Last place:

No one can accuse me of favoritism for strictly enforcing slots for scoring, which might have hurt me more than it hurt anyone else (I had many teams right, but in the wrong slots).

No matter who wins the Super Bowl, BusSport (yes, me) will be in LAST PLACE (not close to last, or second to last, but LAST), out of 32 entrants, with a pathetic 2 points.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

I've still got a chance for placing? Cool!

 

[Logicallylethal]

I hope Seattle wins 27-23 and we can both win the 2000 vcash

 

[BusSport]

I hope Seattle wins 27-23 and we can both win the 2000 vcash

To clarify, in that scenario, you'd split the vCash with 1000 each, not both get 2000.

I believe in the past GoldenSpur has distributed winning pots the same even if there are ties

He goes closer to splitting than doubling the prize. For example, in Week 9 of this season, the original 3rd place prize, as specified in the first post, was 800. When 2 people ended up tying for 3rd, he reduced the 3rd place prize to 500 each.

I also like that scenario..

 

[BusSport]

Early through 4th quarter lol, we already have the results! (O/U already high enough to give Logicallylethal the tiebreaker. So much for the idea that a high O/U would mean a Denver win.)

I'll leave this up for a couple of days in case anyone finds a mistake with their score and then I'll PM GoldenSpur with the results so he can get you guys your vCash.

What a perfect bracket (sans the O/U, as the game hasn't ended quite yet) would look like:

(A) San Francisco
(B) New Orleans
(C) Indianapolis
(D) San Diego
(E) San Francisco
(F) Seattle
(G) New England
(H) Denver
(I) Seattle
(J) Denver
(K) Seattle

The winners (perfect score is 28 points):

1 (5000). gvsulaker82 26
2 (3000). SomeGuy 23
3 (2000). Logicallylethal 22 (wins tiebreaker)

Congratulations, gvsulaker82, SomeGuy, and Logicallylethal!

[SomeGuy]

kind of surprised.

 

[Logicallylethal]

Looks right to me!

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Dang it, so close to winning some vCash.

 

[BusSport]

I've PMed GoldenSpur with the results, so you winners should get your vCash soon-ish.

Looks like the 5000 was added to my post totals instead of my vcash...
I have 500 vcash and 6601 post totals now..

 

[SomeGuy]

Dang it, so close to winning some vCash.

Funny thing is that I have gotten two large payouts this year (one vCash pick on NFL games and this). Somehow, I also won the espn Pick'em but there was no payout.

That being that, no way could I parlay (pun intended) into real action because once it is real, it isn't any fun.

Thanks for everyone's hard work.

Try PMing GoldenSpur and/or HammerDown about it.
