Title: Blonde Super Bowl L competition
Post by: MereNovice on February 01, 2016, 06:32:44 PM
Spreadsheet link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tJ8yxBc-rZx4iFKsYrFNqUuLBy4j1b4hlsYY3j6SUio/edit#gid=2

I am pleased to announce a Blonde Super Bowl L Competition.

The rules are as follows:

1. Entry is open to everyone upon payment of a £10 entry fee to me. People may enter up to 3 times. I will PM my bank details to everyone who has expressed even a remote interest. Payment must be received by me before 10pm on Sunday 7th February. If you are interested, please indicate below or PM me.

If anyone doesn't wish to risk £10 and just wants to play along for fun (and the title of Blonde Super Bowl champion) that will be great - the more the merrier.

2. The competition will be run during this year's Super Bowl starting at 11:30pm (or thereabouts) on Sunday 7th February.

3. Each entrant will pick a 50/50 answer for each of the questions listed below.

The questions have been chosen so as to be a "coin flip" based on the best information available from the collected might of the British bookmaking industry so everyone has a fair chance to win.
An enormous amount of data can be found on http://www.nfl.com if you really want to take it seriously.

4. There will be 5 points for each correct answer and zero points for each incorrect answer. In addition you must select one question as your "joker". This will score you 10 points if you are correct but -10 points if you are incorrect so choose carefully. :)
In the event of a tie, the person who gets the closest answer to the tie-break question will be deemed the winner.

5. I will be using statistics listed at NFL.com during/after the game for the purpose of deciding the result of each question.

6. Entries must be sent to me via PM by 10pm on Sunday. I will then make everyone's selections available via the spreadsheet by 11pm.

7. The winner will be the person who scores the most points.

8. My decision is final in all matters (until proven otherwise).

9. If you have any questions, please post below or PM me.



I will post the payout structure once I know the number of entrants. There is likely to be a token prize for last place.


Have fun.

1. Handicap Winner         CAR-5.5/DEN+5.5

Thank you, Pete Carroll.

Thanks for running this, Vince.

I've been formulating my plan of attack, & I reckon if I make 3 Entries I can't lose, I can cover every eventuality, so I might just do that.

I just need to come up with suitable names for each of my Teams now.

How many entrants have made more than one entry, Vince?

Was thinking of making 2 or 3 entries, as that guarantees I get the lot, but it seems a bit unfair if the others are all only taking a single bullet.

Nobody has entered more than once yet.
I don't think anyone would begrudge you donating multiple times but remember that there is only one booby prize.

The first market is settled.
The national anthem was about 135s so that is an OVER.

I'll update this thread with significant moves and also post a provisional table at the end of each quarter using pro-rata values for each of the totals.

750 combined passing yards, Tikay?

That's some game coming up. You're going to look like a genius in a few hours.

I don't even know if you are suggesting that is too high or too low. A QB can pass for 350+ yards, right? And I'm pretty sure there are two QB's.

2 X 350 = 700, add a bit for inflation and VAT, sorted.

A fumble by Cam Newton for the first turnover of the game.
Also the first sack.
No penalties yet.

Another sack and the first penalty as Aqib Talib does his trademark big mouth move.


Title: Re: Blonde Super Bowl L competition

With 3:12 left in Q1 we have had 3 punts.

Cam Newton makes 11 yards on his first rush early in Q2.


Title: Re: Blonde Super Bowl L competition
Post by: MereNovice on February 08, 2016, 01:24:18 AM
Carolina 7 Denver 10.

Talib gets his third penalty as he tries to get the overs on penalties on his own.
Asian betting syndicates are thinking that it's money well spent.


Title: Re: Blonde Super Bowl L competition

Post by: MereNovice on February 08, 2016, 01:44:22 AM
With 7:09 left in Q2 we have had 7 penalties and 5 punts. The overs are looking good for those two too.


Title: Re: Blonde Super Bowl L competition
Post by: MereNovice on February 08, 2016, 01:50:28 AM
Another turnover as Tolbert fumbles.
One more needed for the overs to land on that one.

Cam Newton has 37 rushing yards and just needs 2 more for another over bet.


Title: Re: Blonde Super Bowl L competition
Post by: MereNovice on February 08, 2016, 01:52:34 AM
A 34 yard run by C J Anderson to take him to 58 needing 58.5. :)

Manning is intercepted. The overs for turnovers is in the bag before half-time.

Cam Newton starts the 2nd half with a 45 yard completion to take him to 140.

Manning throws for 25 and 22 yards in his first drive of the 2nd half.
He is now on 123 yards.

The drive ends in a field goal.

Denver 16 Carolina 7.

8:18 left in Q3.


Title: Re: Blonde Super Bowl L competition
Post by: MereNovice on February 08, 2016, 03:09:59 AM
Another turnover as Newton is intercepted.
He now has 200 yards passing.
5:12 left in Q3.


Title: Re: Blonde Super Bowl L competition
Post by: MereNovice on February 08, 2016, 03:13:25 AM
Denver's drive goes nowhere but Anderson is up to 73 rushing yards.
Unless he starts running seriously backwards (and I guess that it is possible if Denver needed to run out the clock) that is another over bet booked.


9 punts - another bet over the line.


Title: Re: Blonde Super Bowl L competition
Post by: MereNovice on February 08, 2016, 03:16:17 AM
12 penalties so far.
One more needed to go over the line.

A Carolina drive ends in a field goal.

Carolina 10 Denver 16

Newton up to 234 passing yards needing 241.5.
Stewart up to 28 rushing yards needing 68.5.

Carolina unlikely to be doing too much rushing from here on.

10:21 to go.


Title: Re: Blonde Super Bowl L competition
Post by: MereNovice on February 08, 2016, 03:46:49 AM
Another punt by Carolina.

Cam Newton has passed for 245 yards and is above the line if he doesn't throw for negative yards from here.

Thanks for running this Mere! Shame i didnt put up much of a fight. Luckily i had bets on a few of the under/overs that i won so overall it was a good win and it was a good game too! The over 2.5 turnovers was a gimmie!

well i have donated to enough over the years

my basic strategy was

under points, under both teams any passing categories

over rushing for both teams, over on defensive categories (sacks, turnovers) both teams

and to joker the dog on the spread because i reckoned that gave me the biggest point of difference relative to the pack, if it won

fortunately all the above was a bit of a perfect storm

Ha think we had nearly the same strat, but I just went unders everything apart from the sacks/turnovers thinking it was likely a defensive game.  I was in a rush and didn't realise I had gone under on the penalties by mistake. 

Obviously couldn't compete with the master and probably didn't understand enough about the gamr to know which categories to go over with.
