If anyone is interested in joining an NFL confidence pool shoot me a PM and I will give you the details. There is a $50 entry fee, weekly payouts are $50-$100 depending on how many people in the league. Last year we had 28 people and most are regulars. This pool has been going on for quite a few years now. I know we have some football pool junkies in here so I thought I would extend the invite. I want bigger payouts dammit!

I actually won a week last year haha.

sounds like a Ponzi Scheme to me! Own up Shapiro!

Lol i have never heard of a pool like this, you just pick the winners of each matchup and the winner is he or she who gets the most right each week? This is how they do it in European soccer pools.

The way it works is you pay your season dues ($50) and then you pick the slate of NFL games for the week and assign a point value to them (1-16) 16 being your most confident pick, 1 being less confident.

IE:

Cleveland Browns vs Seattle Seahawks. <-- I would pick Seattle and assign 16 points. You do this for every game only using the numbers from 1-16 just once.

Total highest score at the end of the week (with a tie breaker on Monday night if needed) wins the pot for the week, and the total score overall at the end wins $150ish or so for the season.

Just an FYI most of the details are here in this thread. If want in just PM your Name and Email and I'll have the admin send you instructions. You do not have to pay until I think the day before the first game if I remember correctly so you can get setup and check it out first.

Dues don't have to be in until just before the first game so you have plenty of time to think about it.

Its pretty damn fun. Especially when you know you should have picked team A and team B beats them and you lose the week because of it.

sounds similar to what we have in the midwest....POWER POINTS. Its really simple, just rank assign your points to the team your most confident will win...patriots playing whoever for example....our local paper does most of the NFL games, with the top 4 college games of the week. My grandma got 158 outta 162 points one week and tied the local guy for 150. I think he won like 10,000 regionally

I did get my invite email and will sign up in a bit. But it looks like the only payment listed is either check, or some chase something option. No paypal?

It sounds just like the CFB bowl pick 'em they have at the end of the year. Pick a winner and rank them from 1-however many games based on confidence of the pick.

Might want to ask if he'll take it. I have to because I am Canadian and its the only way, without me getting a US bank account.

Yes you rank in order of confidence. Its just that easy!
