The contest closes to new contestants on Friday Septemeber 3, 2021 at noon P.T.
This Post will be updated throughout the week.
Please remember, this is supposed to be about fun and Trojan camaraderie.
Rules:
Every participant will receive 20,000 betting units.
You must bet a minimum of 1 game and 1,000 units each week
There will be a limited number of games to choose from each week.
The contest ends with Pac-12 Conference Championship Game
I will post the point spread for each week’s games on Monday
All wagers must be received by Friday at noon PT.
Wagers must be posted on the TDB (preferred) or they can be emailed to: info@trojandailyblog.com.
I will review each wager to make sure that it was correctly placed and I will then send you a confirmation that your wager(s) have been accepted.
If you do not receive an acknowledgement from me, then your wagers do not count. If you have not heard from me, please email me.
If a game is cancelled or moved to another date, then that game will not be counted as a bet (no action).
Winning wagers will be paid as ‘even money’, for example; if you bet 1,000 units, you will win 1,000 units.
The winner will be determined by who has the most betting units in their account at the end of the contest.
I will keep track of everyone’s account and this accounting will be posted on TDB on Monday. Please review my figures. If you think that a mistake has been made you must contact me by 9pm Monday – otherwise these numbers will be considered official.
First Prize is: $150.00
Second Prize is: $75.00
Third Prize is: $25.00
If two people end up in first place, then the first and second prize will be added together and that amount will be split between the two winners.
Allen and I will handle all disputes and our decision will be final.

Have you ever noticed how sports opinions that are negative use stronger language than the positive opinions? Negativity stimulates energy, apparently.. What are the positives from the SC-San Jose St game?: SC has a running game!– Ingram looks fantastic with his cutting-on-a-dime ability and how he searches for the crease in the line. And his Hawaiian sidekick is a tough straight ahead runner. The team put up 160 yards rushing. The freshman tackles had a tough time containing SJS’s All-American rusher, but they were tested by the best. Slovis had a great game except for being Slovis, where more is… Read more »
If balance was what you were looking for, USC totally delivered yesterday: 36 passes, 34 runs.
That’s solid. I wish they would have went a little faster. Squeeze in 10-15 more plays.
USC is favored by 17.5 over STAN. Down goes David Shaw. I have STAN fans telling me they would trade Shaw for Helton after STAN got smoked by KSU 24-7.
John I should be at 19000.
Yes, you are correct. Excel did not pick up the last game. My apologies!
USC beats the spread, 30-7! I’m shocked.
Mater Dei cornerback Domani Jackson is out for the season because of a knee injury. Full recovery expected.
“The USC-committed CB was a big part of the Monarchs’ defense and is one of the top recruits in the nation…”

PSU 16 WIS 10!
It looks like a lot of our TDB bettors mistakenly picked the Badgers.
Too much faith in 3 yards and a cloud of dust I guess.
Potential upset city! PSU leads WIS in Madison 16-10 with 1/2 a Q to go.

Wow, it has been months, then weeks, and now just days, almost down to hours till kickoff. FINALLY. Gettin pumped, ready to spend some time in the chair with the multi view on watching as many games as I can. Love this time of year.
We are now into hours for kickoff.

USC -16.5 500 units
LSU -4.5 500 units
Good luck USC Trojan and “Fight On”. ✌
Tough bet this week. I thought about Fresno St getting wiped out at Oregon, but 3 touchdowns seems a bit much. The big games involving Alabama, Penn St and Georgia are too close to call. I would love to bet LSU just because it is sucla, but the ‘experts’ only predict a 53% advantage to LSU. Nevada at Cal is intriguing because Nevada returns the player of the year quarterback. The SC spread is too wide to be a smart bet. But BYU over Arizona is tempting. Arizona is one of the bottom-10 teams in football. And the game is… Read more »
