Thanks for pinning the thread guys.

A few people on other boards are having trouble figuring out this "weight" and point-spread, so I'll post some information here as well (just in case)....


"Picks are weighted (confidence pool):
With this feature set, besides picking teams to win, players must assign weight values to each of their picks showing their 'confidence' in the pick, higher weights meaning more confident. If there are 16 games in a week, the player assigns each pick a weight from 16 to 1, 16 being most confident. The weight is multiplied by the points earned for that game as specified in #6 above to determine the total points for a win or a tie in that game."


To those that don't know about the spread, a "-7.5" for example means that the HOME team must win by at least 8 points or better in order for you to score a win (if you pick the home team)

A point spread of "+3.5" means that the VISITING/AWAY team must win by at least 4 points or better in order for you to score a win (if you pick the "AWAY" team)

Of course you can just guess all your picks and will still have a good chance of winning. Even the most thorough sports betting nuts out there who scrutinize every nuance of every team's status and history will admit their prediction record is nothing to go offering guarantees about.
