Underdog Challenge!!!!

Last year about this time we ran an underdog contest. Baseball only. You had to win 5 in a row to win. Obviously they had to be underdogs in the game. You could use run lines or staight lines.

I hit it early in the day and wiseguy hit his later that day. Instead of splitting it we decided to have a dog off. It came down to the final day and I went 0 fer and wise hit 1 or 2 of his and won the contest.

This year wise would like to know if anyone would be interested in putting up say $50 of your own money and have a winner take all or if we get enough, a 1st and 2nd payout.

Please respond in this thread if interested or you have other ideas for this or any other contest.

Thanks
Rich

Re: Underdog Challenge!!!!

Hey guys, I'll get in but it will be pretty much a donation since I rely mainly on you two for my picks. I will watch for where to send the money.
Thanks for the fun and especially "THANK YOU" to Crani for all the postings and hard work he puts into the site. and to Wise for the expert insight.

Re: Underdog Challenge!!!!

Thanks fro the good words Iceberg,

Going to start posting more after today, been busy working, then filling the coolers with sea bass and stripers, and now today, my cousin is getting married for the 2nd time in as many years. What a nut!!

Rich, give it time, maybe drop it down to $25 and get more interest. See if IC wants in, as well.
There are some good MLB pickers here, lets see what you guys can with small amount of your cash on the line.

Respectfully, WiseGuy1

Re: Underdog Challenge!!!!

Thats works Taco, going to do a litte R and R myself down da shore.

5 takers only?? Although the 5 are highly capable cappers, come on lounge, $25 is a small amount for a contest that goes at the minimum 7 days, more likely about a month.

I see a lot of guys rolling good picks, back them with some $$$ on the line here.

It would be some great seed money for your 401K, Lillefty!!!

Throwing down the gauntlet, WiseGuy1
