NFL Pick 5

This is a 300 NFL buy-in contest.

1. Odds will be posted late Thursday for this contest. Thursday night games still may be played separately. Players will be permitted to play the Thursday night game alone, without posting rest of the card. However whenever you post the rest of your games - they must still be posted all together. Just quote the TNF picks you made. This is a simple change. The lines will remain the lines posted for the week. The deadline for full card will be back to 1:00 PM EST On Sunday. The official clock and time stamp will be the official time. There will be no exceptions. There is plenty of time to get your picks in so please do not blame me if you miss the deadline. The 5 minute change didn’t help much last year and I believe this is the best way for this contest.

There are several payment options but do not assume it’s same info as last year. We will accept payments from bitcoin, Zelle, Square Cash, PP, bank wires and checks (give yourself time)

To discuss & confirm payment arrangements post me a PM and we can discuss several options that may or may not have been posted above. DO not assume it is the same info as last year. Please give yourself time to get in this contest.. Again Please confirm with me first.[/B] Get with me early - don't wait until the deadline.

PM me by clicking here to confirm please.
