£20 to enter.

Make 2 picks each week of the playoffs (1 in the super bowl obv)

You get 40 points in total over the 4 weeks to move the spreads to your liking.

This week:

Oak +3.5 v Houston -3.5
Det +8.5 v Sea -8.5
Miami +10.5 v Pitt -10.5
Giants +4.5 v GB -4.5

So for example in week 1 you could add 7 points to the Oak spread and take 8 points off the Seattle spread and be on Oak +10.5 and Seattle -0.5. Then you'd have 25 points left to use on the remaining weeks.

One loser and you are out.

If 5 or more want to play, I'll run this.

I'm in obviously.

In

Just so I understand, we are moving the lines to suit our own confidence (or lack of it) in the bookies' lines?

Who wins if it's tied? Most points left?

What happens if more than one player left at the end of the superbowl?  Tie breaker being the person who used the least 'added' points out of the 40 available to stay alive?  Assume it is last man standing idea right?

Yep, we'll go with the player with most points left over after the Superbowl is the winner.

Can you 'buy' additional points to the 40 by reducing the start received by a dog or increase the cap given up by a fav if you have a really strong fancy?  ie +10 fav can i take +3 and buy an additional 7 points to use later in the comp?

Sounds like a good idea.

Include that in the rules.

PM selections to me by 8pm tomorrow night.

Either send the £20 to The Camel on Stars or I'll PM my bank details.

Sounds like fun, can we get a general list of rules though rather than just adding things to see where we are and I am probably in.

Ok, full set of rules.

£20 to enter.

Using the lines I put up, each player has 40 extra points to move the lines more to their liking.

Each player must make two selections each week.

If you have one loser, you are out.

You can add points to your total by moving the lines the other way if you wish.

If two or more players remain afterthe Superbowl, the player with the most points left over is the winner.

If the last 2/3 players get knocked out at the same stage, they will split the prize.

All picks must be received by me via PM at least one hour prior to the first game of the weekend kicking off.

I will PM bank details to everyone who wants to play in a few hours time.

Good luck!
