1st Annual GotPicks Picks that Click Contest
Training Camps have started across the country and we are all excited about the upcoming football season. Will the Buffalo Bills finally make it to the playoffs and go on to the Super Bowl??? Or will the Patriots win it again??? Will Dante Hall return one this year??? Will the Longhorns finally win a big game Oct 9??? Will USC cover the spread against Va Tech???
Anyway, we are putting together a handicapping challenge. Basically, participants will need to make their picks on all NFL games and the top 10 NCAA games.
All NFL will be included
10 college games will be included
Lines will be posted on Thursday at 8:00 pm eastern
Picks must be turned in Saturday by 10:00 AM eastern
If they are not turned in by that time, you receive 0 points
All games are against the spread, so for the ones that don't like the fantasy games, this AINT fantasy !!
It will probably be run using the CBS Office Pool manager. Cost will be just $50 (I'm hoping we can get many more people in at that price). The prize distribution will depend on the number of players. If we had 20, for example, it would be something like:
1st - $600
2nd - $200
3rd - $100
Last - $50
There will also be a big prize for a perfect week. $250 one time prize for the first person to have a perfect week. Hopefully somebody will win it!!! There will also be a $50 prize for the person that has the best week overall.
I'm working this out with Sundaybreak, PC7588 and a few others. More details to come. Feel free to send us your suggestions.

That looks good Ricky. The only game that won't be included on the NFL schedule is the Thursday game. NFL has a Thursday game weeks 1-12. It was either include the Thursday game and all picks be turned in by Thursday, or leave the Thursday game out and watch line movements and have the picks turned in by 10 am eastern on Saturday.
This is an invitational league ONLY !! If you are interested, just simply reply to Ricky's message or drop him a PM and you will be sent an invite. Once at the league, all the rules and payouts will be posted.
No EXCUSES Now !!! It's time to see who is the 1st annual GOTPICKS KING !!! The fee has been set low to get more entries, so money shouldnt be an issue. It's called CHEAP FUN !!!!
Again, reply to Ricky's thread with your e-mail or PM him.
Good Luck

Cmon...what's 50 bones? And instead of CJ tracking them for hours (I appreciate the noble effort you tried, it just got to be too much), you'll have a resource to see how/who/and what people that you respect played. And we'll also have accurate stats on each capper.
I'm in, and I can tell you already, the smack talk and message boards will be buzzin.
Hope you all enjoy. I, for one, want to knock Billz off the damn intro page, he's not the people's champ, just the Gotpicks bracket champ. And Como, I'm lookin forward to the supercomputer.
Great idea whoever put this together. Hope your all doing well and join the fun. Flaquito Estevez....where are you my man?????
Es en`!

EXACTLY PC !!!!! Very Well said. Now we WILL WIN money together, but come on where talking about $50. Five 0. Shezzzzzzz.
I take it some don't really want others to know, ya know. The TRUTH must be told. By the way, I recommend the ones with pay services, this is a GOLDEN opuurtunity to promote your buisness like no other. It's that simple. I would like to personally invite the handicappers that have there own pay service. #1 on the list is Big Dan. #2 on the list is Tallahassee, #3 on the list is A-Train, #4 on the list is Pakman. #5 on the list list is anyone else that has a pay service.
Now some will think I am calling out these people, but I am not, but since you guys have so many followers, this would only be the RIGHT thing to do, RIGHT ?
Of course, we will always combine our picks, give out info, tips, trends and line movements here in the gotpicks chat room. This contest is just something to add spice to the mix, and folks we are talking about $1.45 a week for the entire year, Oh my God, my fucking dogs eat more than that and not having the time is NO EXCUSE, beleive me. If you have time to log in to Gotpicks, you have 5 minutes to summit yuor picks each week.
Now let's buckle up and have some fun. It's just FUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As always GOOD LUCK 2 ALL and remember BET WISELY $$$$$$$$$$$$

As of 8/03 we have 12 particpants in the 1st gotpicks cappers challenge. Not bad for 2 days. We are hoping to receive about 50 entries. Payouts at that time will be over $1,000.00 for the overall winner plus a nice trophy and last but not least, the BRAGGING RIGHTS to go with it.
Seems as if gotpicks has a lot of talkers, but not many backers. This isnt a kept a secret. For the ones that are in the league, I have been told, they don't want to hear during the middle of the year that BS line of " IF I WAS IN IT I WOULD HAVE DONE THIS ". I would have to agree 100%.
Once again, this league encourages ALL pay services to get invloved. This is there chance to REALLY show who is who !!! As of today, NO Pay services has stepped up to the the plate. Remember this folks when you spend your money on a service that feels they will be outmatched against some of the Finest the sport has to offer. lol. A list will be supplied of who rejected gotpicks offer to join and the ones who accepted.
THIS IS OFFICIAL AND ALL RECORDS WILL BE ON FILE WITHOUT A CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL DOING ALL OF THE HARD WORK !!!!!!
So get your other 4 teammates and split the cost of $50 and claim your Trophy, money and BRAGGING RIGHTS !!!!
As of 08/03, here are the official entries in the cappers challenge ::::::::
1) madx34
2) bookie assassin's
3) PC7588
4) PerryComo
5) Ricky
6) Dollarbillz
7) Sundaybreak
Slam9) bhilton
10) gtnp
11) gyphin
12) sholtisizer
____________________________________________________________
This league will have some of the best from gotpicks. If you consider yourself one of the best, then this is exactly what you have been looking for.
No more of the I had this team after the game is over or I gave out these plays to such and such or any more excuses.
_____________________________________________________________
Let's remember, this is just a game even with money involved. We are betting on the same game these players play. This will shape up to be one of the BEST football season's ever, IF YOU KNOW WHO TO FOLLOW !!!!!!!!!
Good Luck 2 ALL on all your bets and remember to always BET WISELY !!!
