ACC Picking Contest - Degenerate Gamblers allowed!!
Ok, I finally got off my butt and started the picking contest for the ACC regular season. Just go to this link to sign up: https://contests.covers.com/OfficePo...2-a85c00dbcc0f
It is possible it will ask you for a password. If it does, the password is: GoDuke
You all should know the rules, but if you do not...
You make picks (spread or O/U) on any game involving any ACC team (even a game against a non-conference opponent). There will be games listed that do not involve ACC teams but please, DO NOT PICK THOSE GAMES!! If you pick a game that does not involve at least 1 ACC team, you will be penalized the amount you wagered by being forced to bet and lose the amount you wagered. This can be a difficult process as intentionally losing is not easy when it comes to Vegas spreads and numbers.
You can make any wager between 100 and 500 units and can make as many as 20 wagers per day. You are being given 5000 virtual units to spend so if you find you have lost more than 5000 units, you are done and cannot make any more wagers.
The contest starts right away -- with the Pitt (+17.5) - Louisville (OU 137) game tonight. It will end with the conclusion of the ACC tournament.
Who won this contest last year? Anyone recall? I know who won the ACC pre-season contest... ME!!

After entering the pre-ACC contest late, and immediately plummeting into last place, I am sitting pretty (for me, anyway) in 2nd place. In fact, had NYBri not bet on the Wolfies and me the Devils, I'd be in first. Regardless, whatever you think you need to do to fix it is fine by me.
By the way Jason, looks like kg3 (or whoever it was) is gone now. And not sure who BillK is, but he did at least bet on a true ACC game.
Jason, are you telling me...

What number would make you take the over in a Virginia game? They are playing Syacuse next, another team that plays at slow pace and generally has low-scoring games. Would you take the under at 110 points? How about 100? Last time they played, Vegas put the number at 114... I bet the over and won (129 was the total in that game). But I feel like Virginia's D has gotten even better since then.
I picked a bad night to finally pick the over in a Virginia game?
