    2014 NASCAR Season Long Picks Game

    Same as last year, we will have a weekly Head 2 Head Picks Game for each race. (in a separate thread each week)

    2 points from each entry will go toward this season long prize pool.

    Prizes will be awarded for three separate 12 race segments.

    We usually end up with 400-500 points for prizes per segment.

    1st Place: 60%
    2nd Place: 25%
    3rd Place: 15%

    Number of correct race winners picked will be the tie breaker. Split points after that.

    Only each player's best 11 results per segment will count for scoring. (so we can miss a week without penalty)



    This thread will be to keep a tally of the leaderboard week to week only.

    There is no payment required here for entry.

    Just look for the Daytona 500 Picks Game thread to get started playing.

    You can send up to 20 points before the 3rd race starts WF. You get 1% of the prize for each point sent.

    But remember you also need to send at least 4 per week for game: http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/nascar-bet...ona-500-a.html


    Unless you are usually here daily, you might find it a bit of a hassle to get all the points transferred though mate.

    I would say "In It 2 Win It", but that's not happen since you started this game, so i'll just say "IN".

    Nope. Havent missed anything.

    Just play the weekly game for 22 points as usual and you are included on the leaderboard for the regular segment prize.

    If you want to go into the 100 point side pool for segment 1, then just add your points to the 2nd post in this thread before the Vegas race starts.

    if you mean last weekend to the shootout it was great as always! but COLD....waiting for a handful of cars to finish the race in 45 degree temps seemed to take awhile to happen. At least the beer stayed cold. We knew a couple people that had the RV in the infield and we were able to get through the tunnel no problem. Free food and drinks there always a plus.




    went to a couple clubs after and DAytona is nothing like South FLA. clubs were dirty, lots of tats, meth-head strippers and no full nudity. still fun tho lol.

    I think I can average 3 right a week this year, which would be a lot better than last year.

    Standings After Richmond

    Just 3 races to go. Yisman's lead slips by 1 point and it's looking like Mikos, BadNina, Carolinadaze and Noles are the contenders left to catch him.
