Todd - I am looking forward to winning a few weeks - I have somebanners and FPAs I need made!!

Wanna put a bet on Saints/Seahawks game?? Do you know what the point spread is??

*KK*
09-01-2003, 02:35 PM
Whats the cutoff on the picks and what day are you setting the spread into the picks?

Mike AI
09-01-2003, 02:45 PM
KK when Mutt wakes up, I will ascertain that information! :D

I would make the same bet with you a I did with CJ, but I know I would lose!! At least with CJ I have a chance!

The company that makes the software sets the lines, they use spreads with half points so there are no 'pushes', every game has a winner and a loser.

As for what day the next week's games are available to be picked I'll have to check on that, probably Tuesday or Wednesday. In the cases of games played on Thursday or Saturday you can make those picks and come back and make the rest of your picks for Sunday and Monday night.

Deadline for getting picks in for Sunday is 1 PM EST. I won't be able to help anybody if they're late. We'll send out reminders and of course on the board here.

Don't miss getting your pick in for the first game of the season on Thursday night!

Mike,

dang the NO / Seattle game is this next Sunday, I'm gonna miss it. Leave for Europe Sunday Morning.

Let's just bet winner or looser on the game ok?

If the Saints win I will have the team do 50 Banners for you and 2 Full Page ads.

If the Seahawks win, you will get a simple basic t-shirt made and the letters on the front of it will say.

I Am a proud liberal, vote for a democrat in 2004.

Then take a couple of digital photo's and post online please.

:)

let me know if it's a bet.

thanks

todd

HEHE Thing is I am pretty sure Katie did better then me last year. She was even tied for a weekly winner but lost out on the points part on Monday Night Football.

Good thing about being married, we do everything together....

So the picks we put in the other day were just practice ones, not real ones? To test the software? Or they were the real deal?

If they were pretend ones methinks you better mail everyone cos no doubt there's gonna be more people just as confuzzled as me. :D

Well to hear you talk about 'yours' there's nothing much to see. Can't we make a bet involving some new shoes or something? ;)

Billy
09-01-2003, 11:08 PM

It won't fit in my house (and neither would more than 10 webmasters - standing up....), so when I win it, I'll sell it cheap or donate it. :nyanya:
