:L

About 40 people play every week, and only 4 people (10%) are in the money each week. So, statistically, even assuming everyone has an equally likely chance to win (actually, it's worse than that, because some people are going to be better at this than others), any given player should NOT expect to win, not even over 5 weeks.

This is like a fan saying the NFL playoffs are rigged because the team the fan roots for never makes or wins the conference championship.

Surely nine correct picks puts me in the vCash! Only question now is whether I'll get paid soon enough to start losing it back on bowl games or will I have to wait for the NFL playoffs?

A lotos people had 9 correct picks. It will come down to the tie breaker

Here's what I got:

Logicallylethal 9-1 31-13 +3000
RoboticDreams 9-1 33-20 +1600
WhiteMamba 9-1 30-24 +1200
Shanemansj13 9-1 31-28 +600
Microwahevo 9-1 41-24 +500
TDs3nOut 9-1 41-27 +500

Had a big tie, decided to pay out all the 9-1 picks something. I'll leave this up for a day, to see if anyone has a disputed result. HammerDown has to update the profiles individually, and has graciously complied all season. Big ups. :clap:

We have a limited number of games, but I may still run a couple more, based on w/l, spread, and o/u, later in the week. We'll see how it goes.

Complete results (by # of wins):

Indeed thanks to GS for doing this. I really enjoy this stuff. Last year I won it but this year I was not very good. That is just fine. It is fun to do and once again thanks.

Chimining in to also say thanks for running these weekly Pick 'Ems. :suds:

We have a limited number of games, but I may still run a couple more, based on w/l, spread, and o/u, later in the week. We'll see how it goes.

Wondering, would you be willing to stickie the thread and/or give a vCash award to whoever wins 2013-2014 NFL Playoffs Pick 'Em? I think this'd be a fun thing to do. :D
