[Royal Flush]

Going to start a separate thread (as I am extra special) to chronicle my NFL degenerate activities this year, had a few ante-post bets already trying to get Will Hill to lay me a bet at the moment when I'm on I will post them up

Follow me at your peril, lay me for profit imo

I wont lie, I fully expect this thread to be as profitable, if not more so, than Nicos EW betting diary

Oooh,  nice thread... Out of interest is this something you have track record in and expect to do well at or are they just punts for fun from a balla?

GL either way

[ChipRich]

Saints @ 17.5
Lions @ 46

Don't want to hijack the thread but we only have 3 entries in this so far, and the spread version in particular is very relevant to all you potential NFL bettors out there.....


ESPN's site has finally gone live with their Pigskin Pick'em and Eliminator games, so I've set up blonde mini-leagues for these.  I played all of these last season and they run very well, so need very little administration.

Pigskin Pick'em is a straightforward predict the winner of each fixture (two versions, one with a spread, one without - you can enter one or both).

Eliminator is the same as the blonde eliminator played by some last season (pick a team to win each week, different team every week has to be used, get it right and continue to the next week & last man standing wins - although the software lets you carry on making predictions after this if you like).

Links to both games are below.  Basically, once you register a team (free) and create an entry you can choose to join a mini-league.  I've included the names and passwords for each of the blonde group's below.  NB: For Pigskin Pickem you have to create separate entries for each version (i.e. spread and non-spread) but you're allowed 3 entries in total on the site.  Just make sure you give them different names.

The plan is to have the leagues open to anyone who wants to have a go for bragging rights, hence the passwords being shown above.  If anyone's interested in playing for money then we can do this from within the free game, and I'll be happy to administer - just post in the thread to express interest.  I was thinking $20 for each game (similar to the Fantasy League) - winner take all if <10 players, maybe 75%/25% for 1st and 2nd if we get more than 10, but am open to suggestions on this.

No need to be an NFL expert to play these for nothing - you can basically make paper bets for the entire season.  Who knows, you may turn out to be a natural!

Please let me know if any problems signing up or finding these leagues.

Been on Houston for a while, NFL guys love them.

My aim is to be on the 1st touchdown Yankee we get home at work... Missed last years!

How good are the Raiders gonna be this year?

Still crap?

Ok so far not gone for much in the super-bowl market but had nibbles at these:

Pats £400 @7.6
Colts £140 @26
Chargers £150 @13.5
Lions £50 @40
Bears £40 @50

Don't really fancy the Chargers at this price, fairly confident they will drift after a terrible start and will get more on then but didn't want to miss the boat incase they actually start winning from the off.

Pats I massively fancy, the Jets couldn't be more overrated if they come out of the Division with just 5 wins it will probably be a fail. Hoping somehow they look shaky to start the season to press, might have more on after tomorrow anyway looking at saints/gb

Lions/Bears can see 1 of these 2 putting in a breakout season, just small interest bets.

Colts, 25-1 just seems ridic if Manning gets anything going will certainly trade shorter.

Had 1 decent bet so far, been a mission to get on with Hills but currently am at £650 EW on the Bills to be the lowest scoring team this season at 5-1 (1/4 top 3) cant see how they are ever getting out of the bottom 3 and should be clear faves over the Browns and the Panthers imo (they wont get points on the pats or the jets and few v the fins)

Open 8 Will Hill accounts, get on, get paid.
