    Looks good to me. If you are listing both opponents, the important thing will be to list them exactly as realty has, as there is a left/right implication for which team you are picking. Otherwise, just list your winner and the bet amt.

    I’m running late; I’ll get my 1st weeks entry submitted about 10 minutes after ApexNC submits his entry. Thanks!

    yeah- last year I realized I could make real money by copying Apex's picks on a real gambling site. He knows his stuff.

    Ha!
    I was just joshing! I wouldn’t do that.
    I like this format and Smootys set-up as well. Hoping I don’t finish last in both but it’s a distinct possibility.

    This one is easy to not finish in last. All you do is don't bet it all the first week! If you only bet the minimum (100) every week, and were unfortunate enough to lose every week you would be out in 10 weeks. But you would probably end up beating about 3/4's of the field. People go for broke quick in this one!
