Fuck, why does it have to be football? Why not cricket or soccer? Think about us poor Eurotrash man!

Good luck, it sounds great though.

**traffic addict** · 09-06-2005, 05:37 AM

Good Luck everyone

**CDSmith** · 09-06-2005, 05:46 AM

You don't need to be an NFL guru to win. You're just as likely to win a prize just by guessing your picks, it's been done several times in many other pools in past years.

Giddyup. :D

It's to set your confidence level for each pick. If you assign a 16 to one of your pics that means you are very confident in that pick. Assigning a 1 means you have the least confidence in that pick.

so you get more points add/syubtracted based on the weight?

**jimthefiend** · 09-06-2005, 07:17 AM

Pretty slick, slick.

**Michael O** · 09-06-2005, 07:33 AM

Deadline is Thursday so remember to get our picks in before that

We shall see :D

This particular pool system is all new to me too.

**CDSmith** · 09-06-2005, 07:43 AM

From the pool admin page:

"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."

:D

**Michael O** · 09-06-2005, 07:45 AM

It works like this:
Pick the team you have the most confidence will win give them 16 points
The 2nd most sure team to win give them 15 and so on down to 1 point to the game that can go either way.
You have to use all the numbers once.

If the team you picked wins you go double the points you set them at so if the team you gave 16 points wins you get 32 points.
If the game ends in a draw you get 16 points.

Most points wins.

**adamneve** · 09-06-2005, 08:29 AM

**CDSmith** · 09-06-2005, 09:00 AM

I forgot to mention earlier, I set the amount of members to the max (200),

so get yourself registered now.

It could fill up fast. :D

**Michael O** · 09-06-2005, 09:09 AM

Going to be fun

Can't have football season without pools

We are lucky starting this season we get 2 games every Sunday

**CDSmith** · 09-06-2005, 09:19 AM

Welcome aboard everyone.

**Sosa** · 09-06-2005, 09:21 AM

I think I'm taking off on all the pools this year and just do some 3 team parlay betting instead.

**Michael O** · 09-06-2005, 09:25 AM

Its a good idea to get the picks in a little early in the last couple of hours before deadline the site can be very slow or hard to access that is my experiences from previous pools on poolhost.

**bdld** · 09-06-2005, 09:42 AM

alright i'm in. wooohoo

Good advice. They host many many pools every year, and a large % of members of all those pools flood in there in the last hours to make their picks and I can just imagine how things could bog down.

Get in the game everyone, chop chop. :D

Thanks....just finished my picks

**Juilan** · 09-06-2005, 10:44 AM

do we have to beat the spread to win?

**CDSmith** · 09-06-2005, 11:08 AM

Yes.

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. :D

**Juilan** · 09-06-2005, 11:52 AM

All clear now thanks CDSmith

**Series** · 09-06-2005, 12:24 PM

Good deal, welcome.

**CDSmith** · 09-06-2005, 03:26 PM

Should this thread be on page 2? I don't think so.

We have a good crop of players but there's room for more.

**CDSmith** · 09-06-2005, 08:18 PM
