ok so he won, but hey, i'm probably the least knowledgeable about football here and i'm terrible at picks, but i at least didn't get put out...even though i thought i had a couple of weeks ago, LOL

RFlagg is the Champ with $93,000.

We've run 3 games on this board and he's won two of them. Also limping to the finish line was myself with $21,000, and papachaz with $4,000.

Now I will get the playoff game together. The rules are going to be a little bit different with this one.

Congrats RFlagg.

I'm happy I held out longer than most. It's really telling that of all of us that started, only 2 people won money, and only 3 avoided going broke.

Gambling is a hard way to earn a living. You must really know your point spreads! I'd expect no less from the Walkin' Dude!

I'm looking at this game as proof to my wife that I should be allowed to start gambling.

Seriously, though, I wouldn't say I know my point spreads, I just follow football a lot and around mid season this year I thought I had a pretty good idea how games were going to shake out.

The only thing that sucked about getting so high in "money" was I had to bet on more games. I never liked going above 10K on any of my bets. In fact, I think I only did so once.
