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. The exception to this rule is Week 0 (games played on August 26th) where you do not need to make a wager.
There will be a limited number of games to choose from each week.
The contest ends on December 4, 2023.
I will post the point spread for each week’s games on Monday
All wagers must be received by Friday at 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.

I’ve had a bad couple of weeks in this contest. My lord!

Washington -17.5 for 4000
Tough week.
Utah +3.5 for 1000
USC -22.5 for 5000 ✌
Arizona +17.5 for 500
Stanford +27.5 for 500
Ole Miss +2.5 for 500
USC game under 73.5 for 4000
Oregon -27.5 for 1000
Washington -17.5 for 2000
Hate to do it, but….
Colorado +22.5 for 5000
Oregon State -3.5 for $250 USC/CO Over 73.5 for $500 AZ +17.5 for $250 Really do not like this week. Last week taught me, always pick Utah against the spread at home and against them on the road. Hard to pick against that Utah D. I am assuming Rising plays. I have no idea which team will win in Boulder. SC should, but it should be a shoot out. Hence, my bet. I also think WA is due for a close game. AZ is a good team, playing a NC contender at home. Hopefully they can keep it within two… Read more »

I have misplaced my notes on what I have left. Please let me know. If I have bet too much this time sorry.
You have 16000 units at the start of this week.
The Friday game is Oregon St. right?
Anyway, I will take Oregon -27.5 over Stanford for 3000
Yes, thanks for catching that.
Not making last week’s mistake ever again:
Give me Stanford + 27.5 for 8,000.
This either gets me back on the game or has me circling the drain!
USC -22.5 for 5000
over 73.5 for 5000
Colorado’s D is worse than ASU. We are scoring 50 plus.
ASU D is not that bad, they have nice size and took away some of SC’s pet plays.
LR saving some of that good misdirection stuff for ND?
I gained a new respect for first-time ASU HC Kenny Dillingham based on how he handled the USC contest. I knew nothing about him pre-game except for that short over-the-top video about winning expectations and all.
But based on that one game at least, I thought he did well for himself. His less-talented kids played hard, that’s for sure. And they can’t go to a bowl, which is brutal on teams.
Odds are I won’t be wagering this week, but after watching a team that couldn’t put any points up against Fresno, put 28 points up against our defense, I have to wonder if oddsmakers were watching the game on Saturday?
I have thought the oddsmakers were a bit off all season and now I know I was right. If I were a bettor this week I’d go with the over, bet. The game (in my small mind) hinges on winning the coin toss. The team with the ball last wins.
I couldn’t watch the game but I watched the highlights/lowlights. That back end of the defense is particularly woeful. + Regression on tackling. There are no excuses like looking ahead, overlooking a weak opponent, etc. If they will mail it in now, they will mail it in later when the first thing goes wrong. It is defensive gut check time right now. I think it is hot seat time for Donte, and Grinch is blowing his chance to save his job. I just would hate for us to waste the opportunity we have this season to realize this defense cannot… Read more »
