Very great idea...would we be able to do something similar for the big 12 football season?

The problem with a Big 12 pick 'em is, during conference play, there will be a max of 6 games.

It's easier to limit this to the NFL, and I'm sure all the Big 12 games will be included in the CyBookie forum for your gambling pleasure.

Never thought of that, but very legit point...just figured it'd be fun but didn't think of that aspect of it....however, thanks for this! Should be fun!

Entry picks will be updated a few times a day. This needs to be done manually.

If you don't see your name within 24 hours, please PM me.

Does the username automatically default to you when you submit if you are signed in? I was trying to type in my cf username in the field and it isn't taking?

If lets say 5 people all predict a week perfectly do they all get the 1,000,000 bonus or will weekly bonuses use the tie breaker as well?

timjans · 08-25-2008, 11:42 AM

we could pick all 12 teams in the Big 12
