CTG Bowl Season Differential Contest --CASH Prize

[B.A.R.]

Each year during the Golf Season I sponsor contests for all the majors and one other tournament. The winner of The Open in July, @casual decided to throw his winnings back into the pot for a contest this fall so I figured we could do something fun here for the Bowl Season and see how it goes.


Here is the premise: I am going to list each bowl game with a spread as of tonight. You will pick either the dog or the favorite, if your team covers the spread you will get the amount of points they covered by added to your score. If your team does not cover the spread, then it is 'no action'.

So, team A you pick + 6 and they lose by 1... you get 5 points​

​

Team B you pick -12.5 and they win by 21 you get 8.5 points​

​

Team C you pick -7 and they win by 6 that is considered no action.​

We are adding up the differentials for your winning dogs and favorites.

I know it sounds a bit different on paper but it brings capping and strategy together.

You can copy this format for your selections:

1.
2
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.
13.
14.
15.
16. (Double Points Selection)


Tiebreaker #1 = Total Points in Ohio St vs Clemson
Tiebreaker #2 = Total Points in LSU vs Oklahoma
Tiebreaker #3 = Total Points in Alabama vs Michigan




Rules:

16 selections, one of which if you win you receive double the differential​

​

All picks must be submitted by 11:00am Eastern, Thursday December 26th (you may edit till then)​

​

No aliases and if you happen to get banned during the contest then you are eliminated immediately​

​

Payouts via Paypal​

Prize: 100.00 to the winner

***Here is the deal, if we can get 75 unique entries to this contest then I will personally double the prize. This is simple, we are not asking for signups at books/etc or anything hard. This is FREE to enter so Tweet it out, tell your gambling buddies and spread the word to others on the forum. Easy enough?***
