—————————–
Please remember, this is supposed to be about fun and Trojan camaraderie.
There are no entry fees.
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.
I will handle all disputes and my decision will be final.
Oklahoma -4.5 for 5000
Wake Forest +4.5 for 5000
BTW, Lawyer John is officially no longer a member of our TDB and has been permanently banned from our site.
All TDB Contest participants are hereby moved up a notch in John’s terrifically captivating contest.
Allen and John, what is up with that if you can? How much time do you guys spend filtering garbage from this site? I bet it can be ugly. Probably not what you thought you signed up for when you started this. But I really appreciate the work you do to keep things polite and civil. Thanks, Fight On, and Beat The Ruins.
Here are a couple of surprising things about the blog that you do not know; while we have around 30 people who commented during the last month we actually had more than 18,500 visitors that came just to read the blog. (On the day that Clay Helton was fired we had over 14,000 come to the blog.) During that same period we also had more than 2,800 attempts to break into the site with most of those originating from the Russian Federation, China, India and Malaysia. Additionally, we have people who establish accounts to spam us with talk about negative… Read more »
I could only have imagined, before you mentioned it, the amount of behind the scenes hours you guys put in along with the content you thoughtfully provide everyday, to educate and stimulate discussion, all without pay, just so we can all have a lighthearted escape to our days. It is forever appreciated and never taken for granted. Many thanks, always
Whoa! Getting ready to fly home and I see this. I don’t know what the guy did but it must have been pretty bad to prompt a ban. So be it. Enjoy your day everyone!
Baylor -1.5 for 3750
Oregon +3.5 for 3750
Just can’t seem to want to bet on either USC or ucla.
JW, please adjust my bet to now read 1500.
Aloha all! Breaking away (briefly) from my anniversary trip to reissue my pick for this week:
The worthless, useless, pathetic, powder blue wearing, booger eating, armpit smelling, gutty lil’ pansy, future pizza delivery boys, bruin bear cubs of Westwood aka
Ucla -3.5 30,000 points
I hope that I lose this bet in spectacular fashion as Jaxson Dart obliterates Kedon Slovis’, record setting performance against Ucla from 2 years ago.
Headed to visit Madam Pele at Kilauea Volcano tomorrow to sacrifice my Clay Helton voodoo doll. Everyone have a great rest of your week.
I too am rooting big time for Jaxson Dart to make Trojan history, and lead USC to victory somehow.
Have a great time @TMC4USC at Kilauea tomorrow during your unforgettable anniversary.
USC +3.5 for 6500

Go Troy (twice)
Interesting how Oregon at Utah this Saturday, will probably be duplicated 2-weeks later in the Pac-12 Championship game. It is hard for a team to win 2-games in a row from a rival, so we shall see.
Golden Trojan, you missed going in to 2nd place by a lousy 1/2 point. Your situation reminds me of the old joke of the guy who went to Las Vegas in a $50,000 car and came home in a $500,000 bus.
If this was real money I would have been more conservative last week. But it’s only a game and catching you, SanDiegoTrojan and TMC4USC, I had to go for it.
Ucla -3.5 FOR 2000
After going for it and losing with the Sundevils, I’m just throwing my last coins into penny slots, waiting to catch the plane back from Vegas. SC wins I will happily be done otherwise I’m alive another week. Hopefully this will be the last chance in a long time for Sucla.
You didn’t want to leave a little for a trip to the buffet! 🙂
John, I believe after a full slate of games on November 20 and 27, the only game after November 27, Saturday, prior to December 4, is the December 3 Pac-12 game.
Yes, I understand that but I made the rule at the start of the contest and it is important that I follow it lest I upset anyone.
OK boss, whatever you says.
This will be the week that decides my fate.
UCLA +3.5 for 10,000.
I really hope I lose, but I just do not see this nearly hopeless SC team (as Arledge said, it is like AZ playing in stolen uniforms) staying within 3 of the Bruins. Chocolate Chip has a lot riding on this as do his kids. Maybe the Curse of Cade will raise up and just as the Gutties beat the Trojan 13-9, so this hapless Trojan team can actually pull off the miracle.
You do not get sucla AND 3 1/2 points RJJ. Shame on you.
Please note the point spread is Ucla -3.5. Do you still want to choose Ucla?
Oops! UCLA -3.5 for 10,000
