Let's add an Football streak contest

[Bill Dozer]

Would there be an in interest in this one? You play for the whole season with a chance to win prizes if you put together a streak of wins.

Open Handicapping Contests are each stuck atop its forum.

I recommended an NFL survivor pool a while back. Those are usually fun...

[Bread]

Survivor Pools are awesome. I'd run that shit Bill. Let me know.

[RageWizard]

Dream up the rules, and I shall participate whole heartedly.

[goldengoat]

survivor pool sounds fun

[Bill Dozer]

How should we run it. Keep track of active streaks with prizes for each milestone Number hit?

Grand Prize for the longest streak during the season?

[Bread]

Are you referring to a streak contest or a Survivor pool?

[brock]

Maybe a NFL or a NCAAF streak contest.
Maybe combined.

NFL survivor is where you pick 1 team to win each week (not cover ATS). You can only pick a team once throughout the entire season. Check out ESPN or Yahoo for the rules on NFL Survivor contests

[Bread]

Survivor pools are great. Bill if you are thinking more streak that's all good, but I think a Survivor pool would get some good participation.

[Poker_Beast]

I love survivor pools

[goldengoat]

i'm guessing a streak contest would have people picking games like mad to string together a streak while a survivor (while more fun) might not sustain the traffic/activity once you are out so the sbr powers that be like the streak contest better

any contest is a good contest

[Bill Dozer]

I guess people call em different things. They both sound good but I like the idea of everyone picking daily through the season putting together a winning run. When you lose you have that score until you beat it.

Bread,
Also a good one if there is time. You kind of need to run those from the start right?

[Chi_archie]

I'd be down for either

[Bread]

I'd be down for either Bill. And yes, a Survivor pool would have to start from week one. It's picking a straight winner, no spread, moneyline, just pick a winning team. Can't pick same team twice all year.

Sounds simple enough, but these things usually end before Week 10. lol.

[Bread]

One bet a day is too often to build a streak. It doesn't leave enough room for strategy. You should be able to bet daily, but the window for a bet should be longer, maybe a week.

The longer the streak, the bigger the prize. The bigger the prize, the greater the publicity. Wagerline has one for 100K, so SBR could aim in that same area.
