***Shark Pool Home League Uno*** - Congrats in Advance to Joey (1 Viewer)

Currently tied for 4th, 3 picks behind 2nd, in a year long pick against the spread competition. 100 players. Top 5 spots get paid. Need a good week!
Awesome! Best of luck!


I have a year long family pick em pool (no spread. Just pick winners. Split pots common). It’s probably in its 40th year or so. I started it as a teen with my siblings, parents, aunts and uncles and even my grandmother and great uncle. Only $2 per week buy in and we have a season long % pool for best overall picks over the whole season.

my grandmother and great uncle are long gone but my brother has roped in a few friends/neighbors and it’s 14 of us now.

Either way…I’ve won or split 10 out of the 17 weeks so far (some years, your instincts on which teams will win or lose is just in sync with reality. That’s me this year. Not me most years). :)

I’m only 1 game ahead of the % pool so this weekend really matters (hence my “which teams will sit starters” thread in the shark pool).

Our family pool also has a $5/each playoff pool were we just try to pick the winners for all playoff games thru the Super Bowl. Often a split winner as well.

All great fun and an amazing tradition in my family.

Mine is only $10 week. Weekly winners are paid out for 1-3. With the top 5 over all getting the rest. 1st is a couple grand with 100 people. It’s a ton of fun. I’ve been in it for 12 years. Won a few weeks over the years but have never finished this high. I have 151 correct picks so far. 1st place currently has 159
 
With 11 correct so far this week, I’ve vaulted into a tie for 2nd! 162 correct for the year!

Tonight’s game is a tough one. Play the favorite and probably finish tied for 2nd…or take the points and maybe get 2nd alone. That is the question!
