Title: NFL Point spread Survivor Week 2
Post by: Jeremy on September 10, 2013, 07:21:13 PM
So 5 people are left if we count ties as a win

Down to Hal and Puddy if it is winners only.

Unless I screwed up, I do that from time to time.

I would say it's up to you since you can't ask Tross and you'll be running it. In gambling it would normally be a push no win no loss but some bookies take the tie as a loss to the bettor if the bookie is giving points. I would just let the ties go on if it were me.  idunno

You are 100% correct.  You have to beat the point spread ,ties lose .

I'm no expert but when I owned a newsstand in Cicero at Laramie and 22nd I used to do side business

for some very good fellows  ;) A tie was always a push unless you played that white card thingy, I believe

it might have been called a parlay card  idunno in that case a tie was a loser. This is a just for fun contest

so I'm sure no one is really arguing.

Im not in the contest but i'll give you the lock of the year take Cincy -7 and giggle !!! 
This years Pittsburgh Steeler team might not win 4 games ..........

Tomlin is finally playing with the guys he drafted and most of Cowher's are gone and I can honestly say this is the worst Steeler team I have ever seen play on sundays.

Just put a hook on all the lines and you won't have to worry about a tie.

Hmm maybe we should go through all 16 games and let everyone that played the first week play. Maybe give wins as two points and ties 1 point!!! that would make it interesting. We already have one pool that is the survivor picks.

Hey, let's just give everyone 2 mulligans.  You have to lose 3 times to be eliminated.  If you win or not lose(tie) no strikes ! That way we can all feel good.  Nothing like a warm fuzzy feeling on a cold winter's night.  What the hey happened to Tross anyways?

I'll follow Gazoo's advice and take Cincy for week 2.

It would have been different if the lines were at the right time, but for all we know it could have been +3.5 or +2.5.

For the rest any line that is even I will make +.5 for the underdog.

Good luck.  The reason for confusion is that in 99.999%of these contests you have to Beat the spread to continue.
I've been in 100's of them, most you have to put up $50 or a $100. But, in keeping with society's drift toward mediocrity It's now a kinder more gentle world.(Where wimps get sand kicked in their face)
