Contest Rules
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. If you forget or choose not to make a wager during any week during the season, 1,000 units will be deducted from your account. If you miss 3 weeks of betting, you will be removed from the game.
There will be a limited number of games for you to choose from each week.
The contest ends after the last game played on December 7, 2024.
I will post the point spread for each week’s games on each Monday.
All wagers must be received by Friday at noon PT, if there is a Thursday game then the wager must be received by Thursday noon PT. (Exact date will posted weekly)
Wagers must be posted on the TDB (preferred) or they can be emailed to: john@trojandailyblog.com.
I will review each wager to make sure that it was correctly placed. I will then respond to your entries to let you know that they have been accepted by liking your wager comment.
If you do not see your wager acknowledgement please contact me as soon as possible by posting a comment on the blog prior to the first game you have wagered on.
If a game is cancelled or moved to another date, then that game will not be counted as a wager (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 of each week of the contest. Please review my figures. If you think that a mistake has been made you must contact me by 9pm on the Monday that the results were posted, 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.
Anyone can be removed from the contest for exhibiting poor sportsmanship, as determined by me.
By making wagers on the games you acknowledge you agree to these rules. John Weld
Hey John, you may want to relax over the Holidays, but how about a playoff bracket contest? Us losers could use some more abuse!
I am working on a bowl contest and will have it available real soon. Thanks for asking.
Mrs Steveg
Oregon -3.5 for 7000
Congrats to John for putting on another great contest. Very cool. ✌
I would like to give a shout out to John for putting this contest on each year. I enjoy betting on college football and seeing how I can do compared to other people. This week I am going to take
Penn State +3 1/2 for 15,000
Clemson +2 1/2 for 3,000
Tulane -6 1/2 for 3,000
Thank you, I really have fun doing this!
DubPar22
Boise St -4.5 for 1500
Really enjoyed playing with you all!
Looking forward to the big showdown between BUS83 and Scoochnew.
I’ll take Oregon -3.5 for 20,000. John, thank you for hosting the TDB contest again! It’s always fun to gamble with play money.
You are sooooooo much better at it than I am! Best of luck to all, but it would be something to hit the 100k mark. For that to happen, you need to the Big O to shake off it’s big game woes!
