Bowl Game Prediction Game
This is a game I created a few years ago, and I figure I'll try to expand to let people from Buckeye Planet play, too. Here's how it works:
Predict the scores of all of the bowl games. And not just, "Fiesta Bowl 24-21." You have to say "Ohio State 24, Notre Dame 21." Or whatever your prediction is. Do that for all the games. Based on how accurate your guess was, you get a certain number of points. Points are bad. 1. If you picked the wrong team to win, you get 5 points right away. 2. For every point you were off in the margin of victory guess you had, you get 0.2 points. 3. For every point you were off in the total score, you get 0.1 points. So if you picked Texas to win 21-20, and USC wins 21-20, you get the 5 points for picking the wrong team, you get another 2 x 0.2 points for the margin of victory, but you had the total score right, so you got 5.4 points for that game. I need your picks by 8:00pm, December 20 (first bowl game). Whoever has the fewest points after all the games, gets my guarantee that I won't pee on you for at least a year. Here's the bowl game schedule, as I have it: New Orleans Southern Miss - Arkansas State GMAC UTEP - Toledo Las Vegas BYU - Cal San Diego County Credit Union Colorado St - Navy Fort Worth Kansas - Houston Hawaii Nevada - UCF Motor City Memphis - Akron Champs Sports Clemson - Colorado Insight Arizona State - Rutgers MPC Computers Boise State - Boston College Alamo scUM - Nebraska Emerald GA Tech - Utah Holiday Oregon - Oklahomo Music City Minn - VA Sun NW - UCLA Independence So Car - Missouri Peach Miami - LSU Meineke Car Care So Fla - NC St Liberty Tulsa - Fresno St Houston TCU - Iowa St Cotton TX Tech - Alabama Outback Iowa - Florida Gator Louisville - Va Tech Capitol One Wisconsin - Auburn Fiesta Ohio State - some team of cheaters Sugar West Va - Georgia Orange Penn State - Fla State Rose USC - Texas Either reply to this message with your picks or private message me. |

we could make it 200 (to make the payout enjoyable), and those with limited funds can simply go all in with their limited supply (but not be penalized for it).
It is the christmas season after all. great idea for a game zurp. |

If someone knows how to make it a vbet, then that's fine with me. But I'd vote that it be something low, like 50.
And don't bother with getting me your picks, yet. Just do it whenever. I haven't even set up my excel program for it. |
