There may be others, but I'd figure I'd do one a little bit differently this time. Winner will get a gift certificate of as-yet-undetermined size and variety. Here are the rules:

You start with a bankroll of $1000. Minimum bet = $20. Maximum Bet = $500. You must place a total of at least 100 bets during the season; there is no maximum number of bets.

All NFL and NCAA bets are available. You can bet any line, prop, over/under, anything you can find: but you must say where you got it. If you can't play it in real life, you can't play it in the contest. Otherwise, everything is fair game.

For simplicity purposes, put all your picks in one post. You can post multiple times, but have at least one post in the thread with all your picks. Put down the team, the line, the price, the amount of the wager, and where you got the line. So for example, post "Bears +3 -110 $50 The Greek". It doesn't have to be in that order, just make sure you have all that info.

At the end of the week, put "w" next to each win and "l" next to each loss. I'll calculate the money at the end of the week, but I don't want to have to hunt down the scores for every game.

Is it going to be actual wins and losses or who looks better on paper? :P

Consider all my lines to have been obtained from a traditional parimutual investment house with offices in New York, Kansas City, New Orleans and Chicago.

You may want to have them create a new post instead of editing a current one.

If not, you may have
"Purdue -27 -100 $1 The Greek" become "Purdue -27 -100 $1000 The Greek".

True. I'm going to have to rely on the honor system to some degree. Maybe a new post and editing the old post would be helpful. But in the end I'm just going to have to trust that no one is cheating.
