    as in local takes no juice?

    Also, these usually require you to pick a different team every week, can't pick the same team twice. Is that the case here?

    No brainer. Give it a shot. Take some chances early. Save your best teams for late in year. Find a team that's going to suck and fade them as often as possible. The years I've done well in these are when I was picking games 4 weeks out or more. Hope for some big upsets early to slim pool. Have fun. It's $20 and if you get past week 3-4 you will have gotten your money's worth in entertainment if nothing else!!!

    Probably will be a lot of people left at the end if you can use the same teams more than once

    Am I wrong here?

    Probably not. Should be quite a few going a ways if you can keep popping the best matchups every week

    Double check this before you start picking your teams - hate to see you blow an early pick on the 49ers when you could use them a lot later. Good luck either way but if you can pick the same team over and over expect the competition to go through the whole season with a chopped pot at the end. Just a guess

    Even if you can use the same team as many times as you like, this is the NFL. I am in one that let's you rebut two times and nobody gets past week 6 or 7 without rebuying. They are definitely fun but definitely tougher than they appear.

    If it was easy to go 17-0 and get to the end (as others have suggested), I suggest they start an open 17-game parlay at the start of the year....should be easy, right? Good luck with that.

    that parlay wouldn't pay shit, 17 teams at -800 or more would b nothing. there is no way they can let you pick the same teams, there would be a split pot guaranteed on people who went 17-0 imo

    It's not that easy but easy enough as to where more than one guy will hit it IMO..all depends on how many enter

    Also, just to let you know, going 17-0 betting -800 teams pays +740. As in, 7.4 to 1.

    If this is EASY you should put everything you own onto it each and every single year.

    Not saying its easy - but 150 dudes doing it - my guess is more than one figure out a combo that hits. even at 7.4 to 1 - give me 150 shots at it and I guarantee I can get at least a couple 17-0 - that was my point.

    I honestly doubt it...and I only say that because I am in a pool like this and nobody has ever gone 17-0. In 10 years.

    But I mean it when I say best of luck. Maybe we just have a bunch of donkeys in our draft.

    What is buy-in and how many people in it? Can I get 10 entries? I am probably way way over-estimating my ability but I think I could get 1 of 10 to go perfect. Not ATS right? This is NFL money line right?

    Note that its been like 3-4 years since I did this. Know there is a lot more parity now so I could be way off on my assumptions!

    I'm saying its easy if u can pick the same team more than once. if not, its nearly impossible. I'm 95% sure i could pick a winner every week if i could use the same teams, i did it last year betting money lines

    I remember a suicide pool some guy ran in work. $50 to enter and the pot was $1,000. I won and the guy who ran the pool spent the money on cocaine. Got in touch with his wife who paid me $500 and asked me to come fu(k her. Funny shit. Crazy!

    So, let me guess. Everyone at the factory took you in the suicide pool? You took somebody else and that was what delayed you offing yourself?

    I love how you berate others for saying the EXACT kind of shit that you spew.....she asked me to come fukk her. Lol.
