Our attorney took a glance at the documents and informed us that this is not an uncontested contest and she is unable to provide any assistance.

$250.

I'll bet dolphin would have not done it for $125 and a Dodgers hat.

And, here, just to keep the important stuff easy to find -


newper wrote:
Sunday and a chill is in the air (literally!) You all are a bunch of degenerate gamblers, so why not do a gambling challenge? To make it even more fun, if you pick the wrong side, you won't lose anything...

Early: Pick six of the nine 12pm games below and choose a side or total. For each game, you will tease the line your way by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 points. You assign the points to your picks. Every winning pick is worth 10 points. You cannot put a bet on a game more than once (meaning you can't pick both sides, or pick a side and a total, just one wager per game.)
Arizona +11.5 @ Minnesota 42.5
LA Chargers +0.5 @ Cleveland 45.5
Chicago -3.5 @ Miami 41.5
Carolina +0.5 @ Washington 44.5
Indianapolis +1.5 @ NY Jets 45.5
Pittsburgh +1.5 @ Cincinnati 50.5
Tampa Bay +3.5 @ Atlanta 56.5
Seattle -2.5 @ Oakland 48.5
Buffalo +10.5 @ Houston 40.5

Late: For the late games, pick two sides and totals. Get one right and get 15 points. Get both right and get 27 points. You cannot put a bet on a game more than once.
LA Rams -7.5 @ Denver 51.5
Jacksonville -2.5 @ Dallas 41.5
Baltimore -2.5 @ Tennessee 41.5

Night: Sunday night game, pick one side or total. The line will be shifted 3 points in the opposite direction of your pick. Win it, and get 41 points.
Kansas City +3.5 @ New England 58.5

Extra points:
* Will Bortles throw at least 2 INTs: 1 point
* Will Mahomes throw at least 3 TDs: 1 point
* Pick the color of (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky's sleeve correctly: 1 point
* Will Bears kick or receive to start game: 2 points
* Will Khalil Mack be credited with a forced fumble: 2 points
* Will at least two games on Sunday go to overtime: 2 points

Bonus Options:
As winners of the previous challenge, IceGirl Alumni have the right to an exclusive bonus -- your options are:
* Exclusive Picks -- To use this advantage, list three of your picks in the thread as exclusive. The other team will not be allowed to make those picks. You can choose any of the noon games, up to one pick in the late games, and the night game is off limits for this bonus. You must post in the thread by 6pm on Saturday to use this advantage, otherwise this option expires.
* Extra Shifty -- You can be extra shifty and all of your noon games go one more point in your favor. You'll be using 2 through 7 to shift lines. The downside to this bonus is your night game shifts 4 points against you.
* Straight up Points -- Keep things simple by just choosing some base points for your score... you'll get to start with 13 points before any games are played.

Tiebreaker: Total Brady passing yards

Team captains, please make sure you get your picks in by Sunday at 10:30AM to cfmbsurvivor@email.com so I can get them posted (and still have time to do my fantasy league updates.) Good luck to all and GO BEARS!

And here are the picks for the day:

EDIT: after the morning games, things are close -- just a couple of miscellaneous points separating the teams... and it now comes down to the night game. Those 41 points will make all the difference.

Gronk has no heart. A true champion gets in the end zone there.

Yep.

Sad to see a once great warrior lose his heart.

Another great Survivor contest, but another elimination. Neither the Patriots or the Chiefs were able to win with a few extra points, so that ends in the Gerbils voting off one of their own again. For Don Tiny, FavreFan, Joe Orr Road Rod, Matt Murton's Beard, sjboyd0137, SpiralStairs, Terry's Peeps, Toxic Masculinity you must cast your vote by TOMORROW at 8PM. The next challenge will be posted then and will be a Wednedsay Baseball Spectacular. The Alumni are safe.

Bumping -- as a reminder I need your vote today by 8.

It is now past 8 pm and time for voting. If anybody has a hidden immunity idol and wishes to play it, well, I hope you sent me an email because it is too late now. The first vote is for SpiralStairs.... the second vote is for 312player, but he was eliminated in the last vote, so we'll just disregard that one and make it a secret strike for not being a valid vote. Next vote in is for SpiralStairs -- he leads 2 to 0. Next vote, SpiralStairs. And that ends the submitted votes -- SpiralStairs is the 3rd person eliminated. First strikes are handed out to MMB, FavreFan, JORR and DonTiny for not submitting a valid vote. Next challenge coming shortly.

Baseball games abound tommorrow -- well, there at two of them, so abounding might be stretching a tad... regardless, let's pick some players! The way it works is as follows... for each category, you will pick a player from each game -- so one will be a Brewer or Dodger, and the other will be a Red Sock or Astro. You will get one point for each time the player achieves the category goal, but double for the home runs category. You can only put a player in one category... no repeats. If the player you put in the pitching category starts the game, you get zero points for that.

Categories are:
Hits
Runs
Runs Batted In
Home Runs (double points)
Hits + Runs + RBIs (add all three)
Pitched Strikeouts (non game starters only)

Tiebreaker: Total runs in both games combined
Tiebreaker #2: Total home runs in both games combined

The Alumni hold the bonus option again:
Exclusive Rights: You can pick two players to use as exclusive to your selections. To use this, please post those names by 6PM Tuesday to lock em up. The Gerbils will be scrambling for other players.
Betting Bonus: Pick the winner of both games and the over/under 8.5 runs for both games. Get 3 out of the 4 correct and get 2.5 points -- get all 4 correct and get 6.5 bonus points.
Bonus Points: Play it safe and just take 3 bonus points to start the challenge.

Get your picks into cfmbsurvivor@email.com by 3:30 Wednesday (have to beat that 4PM start time for the Dodgers/Brewers game.) A sample entry will be posted shortly... good luck all!

So does the Bonus Exclusive option mean that the other team can't pick those two players for any category or only for the categories that we exclude them from?

The Gerbils pick of Woodruff may prove impossible to overcome.
EDIT: After 3, some signs of life for the Alumni -- Springer hit a nice HR to get them back in striking distance.
EDIT: Actually, they are as far back as they were before the game started, so nevermind.

Shit. Early game was a wash. Only Woodruff had any scoring.

Springer hit, Altuve RBI, and Kimbrel K tighten things up.
