It is on like Donkey Kong!!
For folks who are not familiar, this is a contest where you pick college basketball games against the spread or the over/under. You make wagers in the amount of 100-500 units on each game and we keep track to see who is the best picker. This contest will include games played between now and the end of the ACC schedule including the ACC Tournament. With some uncertainty, I made the date the end of March, but it is likely the ACC regular season games and tournament will be done before then.
Important rule: Though the website will display games that do not involve ACC teams, YOU CAN ONLY PICKS GAMES INVOLVING 2 ACC TEAMs. If you pick, for example, the Kentucky-Florida game, then (regardless of whether your pick is right or wrong) you will pay a penalty of being forced to make an incorrect pick in some other game to balance out your improper pick. It really is easier if we do not go there so just remember to ONLY PICK GAMES INVOLVING 2 ACC TEAMS!
One more important rule-- it is possible to be such a loser that you are eliminated from the contest. As in years past, if you find yourself 5000 units in the hole, you are out and may not make any more picks. Now, if you are -4900 you can still make a bunch of picks that day in the hope of catching up, but the moment you get to -5000, you are done picking.
If you have any other questions feel free to post it here and I can answer. For now, follow the instructions below and get started!

New strategy: Go all in on every available pick until I flame out or the season prematurely ends for Duke.
Taking side bets on which comes first. Anyone in?
My bets have been placed for today’s games. I took the home teams [Clemson (-1.5) and Virginia Tech (-6)].

Whoa, I can't believe us Miami backers got the backdoor cover like that. When I bet the game, I thought Lykes and McGusty were going to play. (My weakness is being too lazy to track the injury wire, haha). When they were announced out, the line actually ballooned to like 9, and it looked like VaTech was going to cover easily for awhile.
Why oh why did I take a UVA over?
my picks looked good
Great work, GreenWaveDukie.
It's been a long time since I haven't been at the top of the leaderboard!
If the ACC were to shut down, what is the minimum number of games to qualify for a ‘season’ in the Degenerates Pool and still be awarded the Green Jacket? (asking for a friend)

I had the perfect handicap (NCSU and under) on this game until the luck of overtime kicked in. Man, even the great ones have to deal with bad beats, boys.
It's all good. I haven't been in a chase position in over a year. This is going to be fun!
More cancellations for tomorrow (Florida State-Pittsburgh, Clemson-Pus Buckets). Hey Jason, how about dispensation for placing fake bets on Georgetown at Syracuse? It feels like a conference game . . .
I lost on the Over (141.5) in the Duke game last night but I’m back at it tonight taking Virginia (-9.5) and FSU (-3.5).
