How to play Beat The Prick

  • The object of the game is to compete against "The Prick", a professional handicapper. The Prick will make 5 picks on NFL or NCAAF sides or totals by 5PM ET Tuesday of each week. The sides/totals he selects will be taken off the board.
  • You must make 5 plays each week to be eligible for that week's free play prize, and must have made 70 total plays (participated for 14 weeks) to be eligible for the $50,000 in cash prizes.
  • You must make one 2-unit best bet each week. All other plays will be based on one unit.
  • You must beat The Prick to win. If The Prick scores +3.00 in a given week and you score +3.10 you will have beaten The Prick. If The Prick goes 5-0 that week, nobody wins. Players must have a positive score to earn prizes.
