    BTP Payout is going to be Massive this week
    This is the perfect storm. If Giants cover Prick goes 3-1 +2.90 for the first time this year. After the 1pm games there are only 13 4-0's. Ne/Cle game wiped out a ton of people. Also it looks like over 900 players this week made all 4 picks, so shouldnt be a lot of DQ's. The total pool should be about 16k. There might only be 30-35 people that finish ahead of the Prick. Let's cash baby!!!!! Go Giants

                  You'll cash, but not anywhere near 60%. You would only beat Prick by +.05. The 4-0 players beat him by +2.10. Your payout would be a small fraction of the top guys. but you'll still get something.

                    Can we say about how much we are talking about for the top guys? 250? 300? Give me a round number.

                      You did tell the Prick to go 3-1 didn't you, because you had a 4-0 week in hand, right?

                        I have had such horrible luck combined with horrible spontaneous choices in BTP so far. My best week has been 2-2 and I have only made $12 total.

                        Ironically, I have been killing it in the beat blackie contest (the poor mans BTP), my worst week in that all season has been 3-1. I keep saying to myself I need to start using my beat blackie picks for BTP as well, but never end up doing it.

                          I'd say minimum $250. could be as high as $500 depending on how many end up 4-0 and how many players ended up participating, which bumps the pool up from the 12k it's been to 14 or 16k

                            I think you are wrong here.... I checked past weeks and payouts are always been something like this... if you went 4-0 and 5 units then you get the most..... if you went 3-0-1 and 4 units then you get 80 % of that.... if 3-1 and 3 units then you get 60%....... when 2 units then you get 40 % and when only 1 unit then 20 %..... or is my math wrong here?

                              4-0 will get between 250-500.

                                  That is a mighty big range. But I will take whatever it is.

                                      My guess is it'll be around $300 for the 5-0ers, not bad.

                                        Yep, your totally doing backwards math. It's not necessarily how many units you have, but rather how many units you beat Prick by, in your case only +.05, which is basically nothing. The fact that you have +2.95 doesn't matter cause you beat him by the slimmest of margins. They assign a value per unit that finished ahead of Prick (based on total units COLLECTIVELY above prick divided by total prize pool. so lets say a unit above prick ends up equaling $200 for this week. You would get 5% of $200. Players that were 4-0 +5.00 would get $200 x 2.1 = $420. Most weeks before players that had 2.95 were getting 40-60% because Prick was always negative units. When he's positive units that changes things

                                              check the week 6 payouts when prick was +0,8 units..... then you understand

It's not necessarily how many units you have, but rather how many units you beat Prick by, in your case only +.05, which is basically nothing. The fact that you have +2.95 doesn't matter cause you beat him by the slimmest of margins. They assign a value per unit that finished ahead of Prick (based on total units COLLECTIVELY above prick divided by total prize pool. so lets say a unit above prick ends up equaling $200 for this week. You would get 5% of $200. Players that were 4-0 +5.00 would get $200 x 2.1 = $420. Most weeks before players that had 2.95 were getting 40-60% because Prick was always negative units. When he's positive units that changes things
                                                    I hope this person is absolutely correct with his calculations. The rest of you are adding with your fingers and toes.

                                                      If you think $200 free cash is massive you need to get a job because gambling is not going to pay the bills for you son.

                                                          Pavy, the world needs ditch diggers too. Not everyone is a high roller like you and JJ Golddigger.

                                                            Top finishers got $97.90, players finishing right above Prick got $17.89, which is 18% of what the top finishers got. Even though you have +2.95, that is the bottom of the cutoff this time. So you receive the bottom payout. About 18-20% of top players. Not sure why you think you're getting 60%. Granted you'll get more than $17.89, but not because you had +2.95 (2.90 is the bottom this week), but because they're is a lot less players getting paid this time and out of a larger prize pool. I'll be happy to wager that you dont even get close to 50% of top prize
