NatNet Pickem 2K5....New Game...New Rules...even if you know nothing about football!! - GoFuckYourself.com

SweetT · 08-26-2005, 03:20 PM

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!!!

So many people have asked if we were doing the NatNet Pickem this year that we decided to do it again!!!

This year is going to be different than any other pickem pool you've ever played. Go up against everyone else head to head in nothing but prop bets! We will be putting up 20-25 "bets". Questions like, "Who will score more points this week, the Atlanta Braves or the Atlanta Falcons", keeping in mind that the Braves might have 4 games this week.

This will not be a recurring weekly contest, but instead will be held several times throughout the year and will have a new Grand Prize winner for each week!! No more worrying each week about getting your picks in!!

At the end of each contest, the winner will be chosen based on who places the most "bets" correctly. The prizes for each contest will be fun and different than anything else than you've ever seen. The first weeks winner will be extra-super-cool....

The first contest winner will enjoy an all-expense trip for two to wonderful Atlanta for a weekend, where they will enjoy the famous NatNet hospitality, airline flights to and from the closest major airport and Atlanta, limousine airport transfers, luxury hotel accommodations, meals at some of the countries top restaraunts, and the company of some of the biggest names in the Adult Entertainment Arena. Then, to top it off, they will wind up the weekend watching the exciting Michael Vick and the Atlanta Falcons demolish Donovan McNabb and the Philadelphia Eagles on the Season Premiere of Monday Night Football from the bird's eye view of the NatNet Luxury Sky Box in the Georgia Dome. This trip will not only be fun, but it will be educational, as well, as the winner will be "rubbing elbows" with a group of people who are considered the biggest players in our industry. They boast a combined gross revenue total of HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of dollars per year from our industry, yet are still some of the nicest and most approachable people in any industry in the world.

Be watching on Monday for the Prop Bets to be announced and get your answers in before the deadline on Thursday for next week games!!!

Nice idea, sounds like fun.

Shoehorn! · 08-26-2005, 04:17 PM

Awesome, looking forward to it.

The skybox is the ONLY way to watch a game

Fully catered, AWESOME view, and being a Monday Night Football game, it's going to be extremely exciting. The Georgia Dome is quickly gaining a reputation as one of the toughest place for an opponent to play in to due to the level of excitement and noise. You just have to experience it to understand it

When I win, will you include someone to explain what's happening on the field to me?

Hi Jamie,

The problem with last years pickem was that everyone was all into it at the beginning, but by the third week or so, it turned into a chore....like "crap...I have to go put in my picks". Of course, it was fun near the end also when the big prize was approaching, but the middle 12 weeks was quite boring for almost everyone.

That's why we're only going to run this new style pickem a few times during the season, as the mood hits us, so I don't know how we would work sponsorships out. I appreciate your interest though, and as we move forward, if we do decide to add more to the pie, I'll hit you up

-- Bill

StatsJunky · 08-27-2005, 06:55 AM

Looks good. Prop bets are fun but I would be happier with last years style. More bragging rights when you have a 60+% year.

Is anyone running that style format for this years season?

wildgirl · 08-27-2005, 06:55 AM

awesome, sounds like fun
