Pick 6 Proposition: JJ, Rudy, Goat Milk, Paco, FishHead

Joe Sharp · 10-07-10, 12:37 PM

BJ - This is a pretty big pool that a local guy runs here in boston. He never uses .5 in order to promote the possibility of a 'carry-over' and increase the pot. He runs it through a couple of restaurants and bars. On Tuesday night he runs around dropping off hundreds of slips and on Thursday nights he picks them up. His wife puts everyones plays into a spreadsheet and on Sunday morning he drops of the sheets with ALL entrants and their plays.

He takes 10% and the rest is paid out. There aren't any "tie breakers" so it's spread out evenly to winning entrants.

I won it with a buddy of mine twice last year. I thought that if I got a few of you guys involved we could get a decent thread going & more importantly win a little cash.

If anyone has any questions, ask away. I have no problem answering.

Sounds like fun. Good luck hope you win it.

You're a good man Joe Sharp..

Will you be doing this each week? I think we got a great group of guys right now and I would love to participate each week and hopefully win you some money.

Joe Sharp · 10-07-10, 08:04 PM

Absolutely. I'm glad I got a few guys to jump in. Will definitely post it each week.

Joe Sharp · 10-10-10, 12:01 AM

I'm hoping to have the Master List early AM. I'll post it here so we can see how many entrants there are and see everyone's plays. Feeling good about the selections. Good Luck Sunday gentlemen!!

Good luck everyone.

Pacos Lions-3 pick comes thru.

RudyRuetigger · 10-10-10, 03:18 PM

sorry boys, i got buried in the early games

GiveMeaBJ · 10-10-10, 03:41 PM

BJ hits one.

Joe Sharp · 10-10-10, 05:29 PM

Damn... Paco & BJ 2-0; Rudy & Sharp 0-2. Lets hope for a "carry-over". If no one goes 6-0 the pool will double up for week 6.

GiveMeaBJ · 10-11-10, 10:51 AM

Anyone go 6-0?

Joe Sharp · 10-11-10, 12:23 PM

I'm working on getting the Master List faxed to me now! I hope not.... a $14,400 Pot would be nice to take a shot at.

GiveMeaBJ · 10-11-10, 03:57 PM

Just looking at the winners and losers yesterday I think no way someone went 6-0 yesterday.

iifold · 10-11-10, 04:01 PM

Is the King still a part of this syndicate after the embarrassing Texans loss??

Definitely an embarrassing Texans loss. I am not the leader, just a soldier. I respect the leaders decision but if I had the call I would say your still in.

Yea but your Paco. I am talking about all the squares in this pool. Not many Joes pick the dogs to go 9-4.

Cleveland was a good bet. Only fell to shit at the end.

Joe Sharp · 10-11-10, 05:04 PM

Every one of you (who took part) are in for next week for sure! You guys are some of the sharpest on the board as far as I can tell... I've been learning a ton from each of you for some time!

This guy keeps a tight handle on the operation so not to get caught (smart). So there is no true paper trail... He won't email a pdf he'll only hand deliver copies of the master sheet or fax it. I'm going to get a copy and post it as soon as I can.

Joe Sharp · 10-11-10, 05:12 PM

Also - I put the ticket in with the name "SBR Pick 6". If any of you want to get creative or silly and create a name for the entry feel free!!

2-1. what are we suppose to be doing? is this a contest?

Joe Sharp · 10-11-10, 09:42 PM

Goat - it's a Pick 6 Pool. The pot it about $7,200 a week. My goal was to get 5 guys to join as a "team" with me to get 6 picks to enter the pool. Sorry that you didn't understand it fully. I was confused when you posted the 3 plays...

The 'team' as of now (if you want to participate next week):

Paco
Rudy
Goat Milk
iifold
GivemeaBJ
Joe Sharp

Joe Sharp · 10-12-10, 07:29 AM

So - There were 2 winners on Sunday & 1 more guy hit last night with NYJ (on a last minute Pick6 thanks to Favre...)

The pot was $7,920; Each took away $2,640. Still a nice payday for your $20 investment.

Winner #1 = NYG, DET, IND, ATL, BALT, JAX
Winner #2 = DET, IND, ATL, BALT, PHIL, TEN
Winner #3 = IND, ATL, BALT, CHI, OAK, NYJ

I'll start up a new thread for Week #6. Hopefully you guys will all participate!!
