A lot of eliminator/survivor pools are already restarting after 2 weeks

[seaborneq]

Damn. Bloody massacres. I'm in one with only 3 players left. Started with over 60+ entries

[TheSchafe]

Same. Already won one which is starting over for week 3, and I'm in another two-strike pool where I'm the only one without a loss. Cowboys and Steelers were my selections thusfar. I can't believe most didn't see that the SF/PIT game had all of the makings of a classic blowout before they even kicked off.

[blackHIPPY]

was over 1k before week 2 now its 121 of us

[seaborneq]

I figure mine won't make it to week 5.

[goduke]

Week 3 and week 4 are cake walks so don't expect many eliminations until after that

[charcoalbbq]

I already won my pool with 67 members $100 entry. I had pittsburgh. Everyone else had miami/balti/neworleans/st.louis.

[Bcatswin]

Bunch of squares

[daneblazer]

If I'm out, I'm out. Not losing again on the shoulders of Retardo Luck & the shitty Saints

[seaborneq]

Bunch of squares

Disagree. It's just as hard to pick straight up as it is against the spread most weeks

[blackHIPPY]

Week 3 and week 4 are cake walks so don't expect many eliminations until after that

What's the cakewalk game for week 4 then?

Technically you should have been OUT with the Cowboys in week 1. That just goes to show the fine line of winning and losing a survivor pool.

[jrmartin.mig]

Started with 1150, down to 88 and 2 of my 4 are still in it. Got an email today about a second pool starting week 5

True...that was such a weird game. I always try to adhere to two rules in these things (and seaborne, you're a sharp guy, so you probably utilize these too):

1. Always take a home team
2. Never take the square popular team

Of course...there are exceptions, like #1 may not apply late in the season when you've burned up most of your options, or 99 percenters like NE or even SEA this week. Been good to me over these years.

I don't necessarily have any rules, but I do like home teams and teams playing on Sunday. I try to stay away from the Thursday and MNF traps. Both of my picks have been nail biters that came down to the last drives of the game. I had Denver week 1 and Carolina week 2. I probably should be out too. LOL

[thetrinity]

my guy is doing a loser poll because everyone is out already

lost almost 90% of 4k entries at 10 bucks a pop

[ChiLLx]

Damn. Bloody massacres. I'm in one with only 3 players left. Started with over 60+ entries

I'm in the same scenario. 60+ started, only 6 left, me included. 1200 in the pot. One time.

[Adonis70]

link to this pool ? For next year

[El Nino]

What's the cakewalk game for week 4 then?

Pats

[jjgold]

I said it from day 1..no such thing as a ML lock anymore

you cannot even win just betting ML's anymore

[seaborneq]

Small world. Good thing I wasn't lying about it. Lol.

[seaborneq]

Pats

Pats are on a bye week 4. Are you being sarcastic?

[Madison]

Pretty much the same here. Circa 650 down to 60 or so.

I would like to play n more. Currently they are all local people. How do you ensure you get paid in a 6500 person pool. I'd hate to get all the way through that and then get stiffed

[icecapper]

I won mine with 52 other guys. Picked Cincinnati. Never go with a road team, a divisional matchup, or the consensus top pick.

[RavensFan2k3]

How does survivor pools work? Everyone just picks one winner straight up for the week? And the last person standing (no losses) wins?

[Vegas39]

yes and can only use teams once

[swordsandtequila]

Straight up winner, once you pick a team can't use them again, last man standing wins.

My pool down to 52 from 624, $50 an entry. $29,300 to winner. Giddyup.

Edit: Vegas beat me to it.

[Madison]

Survivor is best bet in sports. 50-70% of the players have zero clue.

[jjgold]

try to go 11-5 every week just betting ML's

You cant its that hard

[seaborneq]

Only two of us left.

[seaborneq]

Neither of us have the broncos, patriots, packers, or falcons left. Yikes, and its only week 7

[seaborneq]

Have any of you guys won your survivor pools yet?
