Someone pointed out that the table I posted previously was a bit misleading.  I've changed it up a bit to make it more understandable.

If I could suggest one minor change, i'd adjust the BTC prize % similarly to USDT's prize distribution.

Is this what you had in mind?

Podium	|| Prize Percentage	|| Take BTC	|| Take USDT
1st.place	|| 45%	|| 0.009	|| 900
2nd.place	|| 25%	|| 0.005	|| 500
3rd.place	|| 15%	|| 0.003	|| 300
4th.place	|| 10%	|| 0.002	|| 200
5th.place	|| 5%	|| 0.001	|| 100

I'm fine with that.  It really doesn't matter to me, I just want to make sure the community will be happy with the results.  Any body object to this proposal?

Congrats to Hhampuz and cryptofrka for getting the most points(11) this week.

It's unreal to see the Bengals as one of the few teams that are currently 0-3, i'm starting to think the Panthers have a decent shot next week.

Is this what you had in mind?

Yes, that's perfect.

Is there an (easy) way to check who won the tiebreaker?

There's probably no other way aside from checking the weekly picks at the bottom and then swiping left. It takes a while to get used to, but it's good enough with how smoothly we can navigate through the app.

Congrats to cyrptofrka for winning week 3!  Good job!

Is there an (easy) way to check who won the tiebreaker?

Yes, click on the Pool tab, the scroll down to the weekly results, then scroll to the right hand side of the table.  It shows the total combined score of the MNF game at the top of the table.  AFIK that's the only place it's listed.

Congrats on having a great week of predictions once again.  Despite coming in second due to tie breakers, you're on a nice trajectory.

It seems like a pretty good app so far.  The only real complaint I have is that there's no way to use it in a browser on a computer.  I'm old enough that I prefer to do things in a computer instead of a phone.  But as far as phone apps go, Sleeper's layout convenient and is easy on my aged eyes.

Hahah, no way. I do this fully random.

My friend watches 2 games every round and all the recaps and plays NFL fantasy religiously and he did the 1st round of picks for me, I was near the bottom.
I did the other 2 rounds by myself and had way better results.

Just shows how much luck plays a part in these situations where the handicaps are set as close to 50-50 as possible.

I joined the pool mostly to watch a game or 2 every now and then, hopefully I do that soon. Love the sport, but is at horrible time for us Europeans.

sad this week is my bad guess because i got 3/10 for now which is very bad -_-
i hope next week i can get better with my prediction

Damn, Croatian guys killing it in a sport we know nothing about. I think this is my first pool free bet this season and it came from the pool I expected it least.

[buwaytress]

I just checked my scores and felt really bad about myself haha. I know I'm doing this randomly, just picking teams I like the names of. Form doesn't seem to matter. Spreads neither. But I do notice at the end, I seem to be losing the ones where I'm in the minority, but I can't make out why the teams I picked were minority. Spreads didn't seem to correlate.

Lies. You did this with full knowledge. I know. You know I know. I know you know I know.

Harkorede came out on top with the tiebreaker question against Hhampuz and congrats on finishing first on week six.

We had an easier week this time with 10 favorites covering the spread. I'm still happy that I got nine points since I was hovering around rank 20~ last week.

This is nice really, Hhampuz have been pretty doing well consistently week in week out and Trofo also breathing down his neck.

I knew I stood chance after the early games on Sunday had ended only for the NY Giants to initially blow it all up in my face, with a defensive collapse that allowed Bengals score a touchdown from several yards out.

Doing better than in my wildest dreams. Maybe I should start betting on NFL as well?

JK, that would be a sure way for me to destroy my betting bank and pool rank in one move.

[DireWolfM14]

Good job, Harkorede!  Congratulations on the weekly prize.  Hhampuz is killing it, but you've been doing pretty darn good yourself for the last couple of weeks.  Trofo, too. 

It's ironic that the top three positions in the contest are held by foreigners.   

Only half of the top ten are Americans, and by and large we're not fairing much better than the rest of the field.

Road favorites are now 8-0 SU and ATS in Week 6 entering Bills-Jets on MNF.

This would be the most covers in a single week without an ATS loss by road favs since the merger in 1970.

Make it a perfect 9-0 for all road favorites this week. I had a good number of them locked in a small parlay. Slightly disappointed i had to settle at half-time on the last leg. Bengos were so shit all game, it was not worth the risk...nor the sweat.

Still a good take.  Nice ticket, as well.  I haven't been gambling on the NFL games much this year, for some reason I've been having better luck with EPL.
