    2019 ACC Picking Contest (Degenerate Gamblers Rejoice!!)

    Ok, you all should know how this works by now. You go to Covers.com, you sign up and you join our contest. Then you make picks in units of 100-500 and we see who is best at picking games.

    You are only allowed to pick ACC games. I swear, if anyone picks a game that does not involve 2 ACC teams, I'm just gonna boot them from the contest. They will be out. No exceptions. We have done this enough so that folks should know the rules.

    Contest Name: DBR 2019 ACC Hoops picking contest

    Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

    Reminder to folks to sign up and start picking games! The first contest you can wager upon is today (Jan 1), the Va Tech Notre Dame game.

    Thanks, Jason.

    Are we ending the ACC non-conference contest and declaring a winner, or do you want us to make bets in both contests because of the overlap?

    So you're saying it's OK if I pick tonight's Marquette v. St. John's game?

    Invoking the Wojo proximity principle, that should count. 😳😊

    I'm In

    After completely flaming out in the pre-season match, I'm ready to defend my Two-Time ACC Crown. Hopefully, Luck will strike a third time.

    Are Notre Dame and Virginia Tech really ACC schools?

    The non-conference contest should automatically close this week or next. Who is leading in the standings right now?

    I dipped my toe in with a 100 point wager today...I haven't spent a lot of time looking around the contest site yet....can you see other peoples' wagers in real time?

    Me, by a pretty healthy margin if you don't count contestants that owe money (for making illegal bets). Since the ACC regular season has started, I was just hoping to be declared the winner of the ACC preseason contest and receive my props so I don't have to keep my eye on that contest for the next week or so.

    That said, I will obey the rulings of Sportsbook Manager Jason Evans so I can keep making wagers at his sportsbook. It's been a profitable relationship for me.

    I'll keep my eye on that contest, and in a week's time, the results should likely (but not guaranteed) be the same.

    HOW?

    how is someone already 2-0 with a +1000 in the ACC Reg Season contest? Has there been a second game I don't know about?

    EDIT: ah, never mind...I see Fish went 500 on VT and got the O/U right. Nice thousand point game...

    Oh no, you put those bets in. Pray that you have a losing day so you can continue in this contest.

    Always read the rules beforehand, my friend.

    DUDE!!!! Are you kidding me?!?! Your first wagers and you bet on 3 non-ACC games.

    Sigh...

    I have asked the Cover folks to remove you from the pool. But, because I really think this was an innocent mistake and I like DukeLamere, once they kick you out I will allow you to re-join. You must skip the next 2 weeks of games as punishment for your bad deeds. If you re-join, you will do so on 1/16.

    I'm self banishing myself. My illiteracy has literally been confined to these degenerate gamblers threads, so the Man upstairs must be trying to tell me something. Ymm, Beer is clearly more my speed!

    Yeah, well, devildeac has way fewer rules than JasonEvans, and Jason only has one.

    The first rule of JasonEvans is, don’t talk about JasonEvans.
