degenerate gambling football league????

the only thing i can think of is to use a site that does not change throughout the day
and post the "morning of the game" spreads
for instance, thursday game, we use thursday am lines from usatoday sheridan lines just for that nights game
or a site like that
sunday games= sunday am lines on usatoday
monday games= sunday am lines on usatoday

i think we have to do that with mondays ?

i do not think we can use a site that the spreads change every minute

you would all be able to go to website chosen and get the lines
and i would post the lines in the thread to make it official in case they ever would change

i think i could handle all this

phardin

if theres still room, im in

we can just use the line at the time of the game. it's always listed on the site. most of the time the lines don't change more than a half point on sundays...so you pretty much know what the line is.

we're only talking about 25 bucks here...let's not overcomplicate this. whatever is easiest is fine with me

ed243421

hit me with a "entry sent" post if u can

i'll know who to look for in mail and how many in pool

if u did not put your 10club user name with payment, let me know in a pm

It will be easier for people to just send me their entry fees since I'm winning this thing.

As for the lines, I think it might be easier to use a website to track this (rather than having them posted here). Lines can dramtacially change from tuesday to sunday. Injuries can also prevent some lines from being released until later in the week if a key player's status is in doubt.

I propose that we all use a common site to retrieve lines. The site http://www.scoresandodds.com is accurate. It also gives you the capability to go back and look at what past games lines were (so we will all be on the same page).

Just an idea, but I think it makes a lot of sense

cbssports.com runs a free peck em pool. I've used it for years for a small family pool

yeah, what's the deal? should we send money or not?

week 1 in the NFL is usually cake. This year's week 1 games could be the most difficult NFL slate I've ever seen (been betting on football for 17 years now)

sweet....i forget---are you then posting everyone's picks prior to kickoff on sundays?

also--its rare you see an opening week without any double digit lines. gonna be a challenge!

ed243421

yes
pm me the picks
i post thursday picks, if any, right before the thursday game
and the rest right around kickoff every sunday
any monday picks are to be made by sunday

try to pm picks before noon on sundays

you should put a half point at the end of every spread so there are no pushes. easier to keep W/L record that way

covers.com is great. I use that site a lot

i kinda like that
but
i think i like it better when one gets screwed
you have to love that line without a .5
or else it could push
makes you think more

ties are no trouble to score
and most wins win

if you look through this thread
about 17 wanted in
and then about 10 backed out
i'm shocked also
with all the sports related threads
i thought it would be bigger
let's see how it goes
