Last year started with the most participants we've ever had, but between my move back from Seattle, the transition to the new board, and general attrition (when you post the bowl pick thread and no one responds), it faded badly.

But we're back for more fun, and with that I'm adding a new twist. I'll be taking the juice. No, not the stuff that made Barry Bonds' head the size of Alaska. The juice I'll be taking is the 10% commission on all bets that you would normally make at a sportsbook.

NEW RULES:
1) You will start with $220
2) You bet $11 to win $10
3) All bets must be in increments of $11. If not, the bet will be rounded down to the nearest multiple of $11.
4) If you're having a rough year, and you have $21 or less in your account, you can go all-in on one game. If you lose you're out, but if you win, you're back in. This all-in will be paid at the same rate as all other winning bets.

All Big Ten games will be available, as well as a few interesting games nationwide. Deadline for all bets is 11:00 AM CDT on Saturday, unless noted otherwise.

Post if you're interested in playing.
 

I'll take Shadow Stevens for the block!

In once again, for sure.
 





I'm in. I always hit $0 by about week 5, but hey. Maybe this is my year...
 






I'm in! Thanks for doing this. I know you get paid nothing to do this so requests from the peanut gallery that may result in (extra) work are not usually welcomed. Anyway, is there a way that it could be done so that we cannot see how others have bet? Towards the end when people are in competition with just a couple of others I think that waiting until one sees how others have bet is an unjust advantage. Thanks again for doing this.
 










I'm in again if I'm welcome. I was off to a great start last year and the move to the new board killed me. I love this though and would love to go it again.
