Running an NFL elimination league
This is the sixth year it will be running. Last year had a pot of $11500 to the winners.
Privately message me your email if you’re interested. I’ll send you this years intro email with all info needed about the league.
My identity is also shared with everyone in the league, I have family and friends in the league, so no worries about getting ripped off.
Currently we are at a $5000 pot which will grow in the next 4 weeks due to rebuys.
Last day to join is Saturday night.
Thanks!
TO JOIN: Please email: AlwaysTennis55@gmail.com or Maggols85@gmail.com
..or if you want to skip all the info and just join the contest, head directly to the pool!

BASICS:
This will be our 14th year running the NFL Super Pool! Plainly put, this league is the best damn NFL point spread pool under the sun. There are 2 weekly winners and 12 final season winners. Additionally we are throwing in a $500 cash prize to whoever has the week with the most wins this season! The pool will have HUGE CASH PRIZES. Please read the info below and email us for an invite!
We're excited to announce that we're moving the contest to Splash Sports as our new host platform. Splash Sports allows groups to legally play for real money. Ultimately, this will enhance everyone's experience as payments become easier and faster and we get to enjoy the benefits of a streamlined app experience with improvements:
Weekly Winnings paid out each and every week into your account Money is SECURELY held in an MVB bank account maintained by Splash Player Reserve, LLC, a separate entity that exists solely to ensure the safety of user funds. Splash Sports does not have access to these funds.. and winnings are distributed IMMEDIATELY at the end of the week/season LIVE scoring and up-to-date standings! State-of-the-art interactive mobile APP COST TO JOIN:
An amount of $200 is incurred to join the Super Pool League. It is a one time fee and it covers you for the entire season (if you do the math, it equates to a measly $11.65/week). If you cant afford that, then w/all due respect you need a career change, let's be frank. Our cost to join the pool last year was $198 and it saw total prize money for season winners (1st - 12th place) total $17,500, as well as 2 weekly winners for each week winning totaling $5300.
You are officially in the league when you pay the buy-in fee and add your squad!
WEEKLY WINNERS:
Each and every week, the person that has the most Wins will make money for that week. The actual amount per week will be the same amount each and every week. This amount will be $200 for 1st and $100 for 2nd place. So essentially you will break even if you win 1 measly week!
SEASON WINNERS:
The top 12 people with the most wins will make money. Again, the amounts and the number of places will be dependent on the total number of players. We can safely say that first place will receive a minimum of $7,000. This is a very conservative estimate; the amount will probably be a lot more! The amounts for all 12 winners will be posted on this message board immediately after the first game of the season!
VERY IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ OR YOU’LL BE CRYING LATER
We can't stress this enough, so read this very carefully gang... ALL PICKS FOR ALL GAMES EACH WEEK MUST BE MADE BEFORE THE FIRST GAME STARTS (Usually Thursday!) . If you fail to make your picks before the start of the first game of a week, you will automatically receive 0 Wins for that game, and if you fail to make your picks before the week deadline (usually Sunday 10AM PST at kickoff) you WILL get 0 points for THE ENTIRE WEEK. If you fail and get 0 Wins, it is out of our control, and we don't have the ability to change anything. So beware of when the first game of each week begins! It will usually be on a Thursday evening.
BOTTOM LINE - MAKE YOUR PICKS BEFORE THURSDAY EVENING (1st game of the week) OR YOU'RE...... S.O.L.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
$JACKPOT$ RULES!
Our rollover weekly jackpot was hit last year, so the remaining $250 from last season will roll over to this year! Unfortunately, our new platform Splash Sports does not have the option of Jackpots just yet (hopefully next year), so the JACKPOT will be placed on hold, and instead the $50 per week will now be added back into the POT.
To not let that $250 from last season go to waste, we will match it, and will be awarding this $500 prize out of pocket separately to whoever has the BEST individual week this season (most wins), with a tiebreak of your final season standings.
PICK MAKING PROCESS
You must make all picks before the Thursday game begins. IMPORTANT NOTE: THERE IS NO MORE AUTO-PICK SYSTEM!!! Unfortunately, there are NO more autopicks. If you fail to make your picks by Thursday, you will get an automatic loss for that game. However, you can change your picks for the weekend games & the Monday game as long as you edit your picks before Sunday-10am Pacific. Please note, you cannot change your Monday picks after Sunday-10am Pacific!
My STRONG recommendation to remedy this situation: Each week, login to your account on Splash Sports and quickly click through all the games, making all your picks without thought. You can always go back later and take the time to really make your picks!

I am running a NFL pick'em pool. Been doing it for so long, started in school when we would record the picks on the Friday sports page before online pools were a thing. Anyway, could always use a few new people. Usually about 25-30 get in. Pretty basic, pick against the spread every game each week. There is a end of the year prize for the top three and a smaller weekly winner prize, usually $50 or $75, depending on how many get in. Entry fee is $250. All the money goes to the winners, no charity or any funny business. All legit, this is done through CBS sports. Message me on here or email me at pchristo@hotmail.com
Thanks and have e fun and profitable football season.
ProphetShares has two football contests. 2024 Survivor and 2024 Prophet Picks. In both contests, players make predictions on pro and college football games. Both are 17 week contests. Both have cash prizes and both are free to enter.
In Survivor, you battle each week to beat enough players to finish above the Survivor Line. Like the cut line in golf, those who finish below the Survivor Line will be eliminated. This continues each week until the week 17 when the remaining players battle for a share of the $5,000 cash prize.
In Prophet Picks, you battle each week to grow you weekly balance as high as you can. Top place each week wins a $100 Amazon gift card. For the season, your best 15 weeks will be added up (worst 2 weeks get tossed) and the top players will get a slice of the $5,000 cash prize.
More details for both contests are in the respective links. Again, both are FREE to play. No purchase necessary and ProphetShares does NOT sell your personal information. You’ll also find other contests and standalone Markets that cover topics including sports, stocks, politics and entertainment.
Cheers!
I am running a college football pool. Pick 25 games each week against the spread, weekly winner and top 2-3 spots take home the rest of the pot, depending on how many get in the pool. This is all legit, I am not a bot, also I don't keep a penny all the money goes to the winners. $50 entry fee. All done online through CBS Sports. This will be my third year of doing this pool, looking for a few new people, I found a couple last year and they enjoyed the pool.
Week zero games do not count, Saturday games in week 1 is the start of the pool.
I run a NFL pick pool for over 25 years and that has a long history and if that interests you as well, let me know.
Contact me through here or my email is pchristo15@hotmail.com

This is the internet. People can take your money and never be seen again. That being said, most posters have good intentions. Some tips to protect yourself:
Always message the moderators or make a post if you encounter a scammer.

Hi, all.
I have been running homegrown NFL picks and other contests for the past couple of years.
This year I want to make it possible for organizers to run those contests for their own groups.
I am looking for volunteers who want to help test contests against a simulated NFL season this weekend. I will do a season over the course of a couple of hours on Sunday July 28, but you can manage your entry in one go so you can just submit all of the ntry info at once and then my stress test is just about grading results each "week" tomorrow.
Looking for bugs but also general usability feedback. DM me if interested.
(crossposted on suggestion of moderators at r/sportsbook)
🚨Going LIVE today in Discord given the amount of tickets everyone has and I’m going to do it a little sooner than normal so I can take my time and make sure we cover everything while also leaving time to build. I am aiming for about 5:30est. I will fire off an @ in chat 5 mins prior. 🚨
ALSO. I am going to go over all the weather issues now. I just wanted to get this out first.
FanDuel: 7:10est (11 games)
⚾ Chalk Report: Red Sox vs Joey Estes: Unfortunately I am all in here. Estes is 100% exactly everything we look for in a pitcher when we want to stack against them. He is an OK pitcher vs RHH which is why he’s salvaged starts vs teams like The Angels and Mariners but that is not what Boston is. They are LOADED with left handed bats and likely running 7-8 of them out there today. Even Tyler O’Neill being one of the RH bats is not a cake walk despite his high k rate. I think there’s a legit chance we see a DFA tonight or tomorrow morning. Lets get down to the dirty and I’m going to completely ignore the right side of the plate here given the amount lefties here and where we will focus. Against lefties he has a .366 woba, 14.9% k rate, 47.4% FB rate, 34.2% LD rate, 18.4% GB rate, 38.2% HHR, and a 5.48 xFIP. He can not miss bats and everything he gives up is in the air. Then to follow him is one of the leagues worst bullpens. They just check all the boxes tonight. I think they’re going nuclear tonight and the way I’m going to get different is by going completely off the board on secondary stacks tonight. I would play them in single entry and I’m likely going 3/3 in my builds tonight.
⚾ Top High End: Chris Sale
⚾️ Top Mid Tier: Zac Gallen
⚾ Top Value: Brayan Bello
⚾ Top Stack 1: Red Sox: Rafael Devers, Jarren Duran, David Hamilton, Wilyer Abreu, Tyler O’Neill, and Enmanuel Valdez if he makes the lineup. But truly, 1-9 is firmly in play with the lefties being the priority.
⚾ Top Stack 2: Reds: Spencer Steer, Elly Cruz, Jeimer Candelario, Noelvi Marte
⚾ Top Stack 3: Nationals: CJ Abrams, Lane Thomas, James Wood, Juan Yepez, Keibert Ruiz, Jacob Young
⚾ Honorable Mention Stacks: Pirates: Bryan Reynolds, Oneil Cruz, Rowdy Tellez, Joshua Palacios, Jack Suwinski
⚾ Home Run Calls: Rafael Devers, Spencer Steer
⚾ Highest Scoring Hitter: Rafael Devers
⚾ Top Value Bat: Luke Raley
⚾️ Top one offs: Luke Raley, Wyatt Langford
⚾ Top Fade: JJ Bleday

Free Entry $3000 Prize Pool Bracket Contests 2024
#Free Entry Bracket Contests
I need a bracket group to join - only requirement is that there are seed multipliers
4th year running this pool and have had great feedback over the years!
My March Madness pool is NOT your typical ESPN bracket challenge where points for correct picks double each round. My pool values overall accuracy more so than your typical "points double each round" pool. The scoring follows a Fibonacci-like sequence as we progress into the tournament. The fun wrinkle I have here is that you get slightly rewarded for correctly picking upsets.
I charge $11.20 per bracket (unlimited entries per user) because the host site I use (Runyourpool) charges me a $1.20 fee per bracket on my end, and then the $10 goes toward the total prize pool. I pay out the top 3 highest scoring brackets, and new for this year is that I'm also paying out the bracket with the highest overall accuracy (most correct picks). We had a $640 total prize pool last year!
All pool details like payment/ scoring / and contact info can be found on the league dashboard. If you are interested, here's the link that'll prompt you to create an account on the host site and see my league info (https://www.runyourpool.com/p/j/851cf97ad5eb440aa30faacf7214f854

Hello Everyone,
I am running an NCAA Tournament bracket pool. There is a $10 per bracket entry fee but I am taking no rake. I am doing this with most of my friends but wanted to increase pot size so offering anybody out there looking for a fun pool to join.
If you are interested send me a DM and ill send you my Venmo.
I created a little pet project web app based on the idea of a Calcutta Auction. Basically, you participate with friends and bid on teams where the total pot size (based on the winning bids) is split based on how your teams' perform. If you are interested, it is free and can be found at www.calcuttasports.net
100% of all proceeds go towards tournament fees for my sons travel ball team. $10 a square
1Q - $100
2Q - $100
3Q - $100
Final Score - $200
Link below, reply for more details. YOU GET TO PICK YOUR SQUARE IF YOU WANT

Hey all,
My family friend recently made a survivor football site and this is the last contest he's running for the 2023 NFL Season.
The rules are simple, every week he gives us a list of three games and we have to allocate all of our tickets to the team we think will win that game.
Every ticket costs 1.50$ CAD and every ticket that survives the last 10 weeks of the season wins 100$ CAD.
The site is called https://www.safetysurvivor.com/ and feel free to PM me if you have any issues signing up!
Thank you all for your help this season!
