OS Beat The Spread game

[Cusefan]

This is a new contest I am running, you pick 3 spreads and pick the winners. I will post the spread every Wednesday night which you will use to pick that weeks games, I will use the SBR sportsbook for the spreads. The Winner gets a free game of their choosing, 2nd Place gets $40 giftcard in a service of their choosing(ITunes, Amazon, PSN, XBL, Etc..)

The Rules: Each win is 10 points, a push is 5 points, and if you pick all three winners you will get a 15 point bonus. DO NOT TALK ABOUT GAMBLING, do not modify your post after a game you have picked has been played(you will forfeit that weeks points).

Example:
Aug 29 NORTH CAROLINA +10½
6:00 PM SOUTH CAROLINA -10½

In this spread UNC is getting 10.5 points and SC is giving 10.5 points, if you think USC wins by more than 11 then you pick USC, if you think that USC does not win by more than 11 then you pick UNC.

Good Luck OSers!

Just use the spoilers when you talk about the games your picking. It's just so I don't have to search your post to find your winners.

Re: OS Beat The Spread game

Sounds fun but why can't we talk about gambling?

We're talking spreads here aren't we?

I bet sports weekly and it's always interesting to see how the lines move even when the public loves one side and the line is going the other way.

Maybe a TOS thing? I'm not sure if gambling is a no-no here.

Either way, I'm definitely in.. great idea Cusefan!

Talk of gambling would be against the TOS, talking about the lines is talking about gambling without talking about gambling. Just avoid talking about money here and were good. The lines are the important part anyways. I also know Wed. Is a bit early to post the lines but its the best way to allow every one to get a pick in, just having this Saturday morning would really limit the number of players.

I see some great picks for week one, I am getting excited
