Never bet a hockey game in my life but I'm in. Sounds like a lot of fun. Will send money order.

So it appears that we can bet games at different times on the same day. Am I reading that correctly?

wondering if we delay the start one week ?

Go with what we have and make it Winner takes all ?

or if nobody wants to do the above .... go with the 5 entries and just do a NFL playoff & Super Bowl contest, Winner takes all ??


thoughts from everyone ??

I don’t mind to push back the start...I would like to get at least 10 entries to make it actually worth it for 4 months.

i would also be open a NFL playoff contest with the 5 entries

So there's 11 games to be played (Playoffs & Super Bowl). Any suggestions on how to run it?

I’d say ats & o/u on each since theres only 11 games but open to anything. Or maybe instead/in addition you have a running total score on how many points right or wrong you were on selection & highest total wins. For example if i take kc -4 & they win by 14 i would be +10.

I kinda like this where picking most total wins is a winner with a running Margin of Victory (MOV) used as a tiebreaker. You pick your own line on spread and totals.

Example:
101 Tennessee Titans
102 Kansas City Chiefs

1) Pick the winner and your Margin of Victory
2) Choose the Over/Under & total # of points in the game

Scoring:
Say you pick Tenn to win by 3... and Kansas City wins by 7
You get a LOSS and MOV is off by 10
For Totals:
Say you pick Under 44½ and the actual total ends up 33
You get a WIN for the Under and MOV is off by 11½

So result for that game is 1-1 (21½)

Do this for all 4 Wild Card Games this weekend and the same format for the remaining games thru the Super Bowl.

Most Total Wins claims victory with the smallest running MOV total used as the tiebreaker.
