JOIN SMOKEY'S NFL FOOTBALL POOL! Hola Compadres! It's that time of year again amigos . . . . Are you ready for some Football? Smokey's will once again be hosting an online football pool and anyone interested can join in the fun. The pool is called SMOKEY'S PICKEM and is being hosted on a website called officefootballpool.com. The cost is $115 for the season. That's $5 per week (17 weeks / $85), a one time $10 admin fee, and $20 in the pot to be paid out at year's end to the top three players. Please note Smokey's Grill and Cantina makes NO MONEY for hosting the pool! It is also important to note that I, Smokedoggydogg, am a Player who is eligible to earn money but in the three previous years of hosting the pool, I have never won a weekly payout (Ouch)! *Admin fee covers cost paid to hosting website, and postage and money orders regarding payouts, etc. It's very easy to join and play. Here is how it works. You simply log on once a week from anywhere in the world and make your picks. You pick the winner of each game (including point spreads). You then assign each game a number between 1-16 (when there's 16 games), or 3-16 (once bye weeks begin). You want to assign the higher numbers to games you have most confidence in. If you win the game, you get the corresponding points. So, the winner is the highest scorer, not necessarily the player with the most wins. You can change your picks at any time prior to game time of first games played. Players can also set autopick options in case they are unable to get to a computer to make their picks. Autopick options include Favorites, Underdogs, Home Teams, Road Teams, and Random. Players can also take advantage of professional game and team analyisis on the site. Feel free to "Trash Talk" to other players too. We pay winners out weekly. For Baja California Sur players, we pay out in cash at Smokey's. For Stateside players, payouts are usually made with money orders. Amount depends on number of players, i.e. 30 players = $150 weekly payout, 40 players = $200 weekly payout, 50 players = $250 weekly payout, etc. Regarding the season-end jackpot, First Place earns 50%, Second Place earns 35%, and Third Place earns 15%. Again, total jackpot amount determined by number of players, i.e. 30 players = $600, 40 players = $800, 50 players = $1000, Pool fees must be paid in full prior to first game of the season (Thurs., Sept. 9th)! Remember, you do not have to be a professional gambler to play. In fact, my mother-in-law is usually good for a couple of wins per year and she usually just lets her grandchildren make her picks! You are welcome to invite any friends or aquaintances who may be interested in playing. For Baja California Sur players, pool fees can be paid at Smokey's Grill & Cantina. For Stateside players, payments will be arranged by mail. To join, follow the instructions below. Pool Rules are posted within the pool itself but I'll post those again via a poolwide e-mail Click here to join my pool: If you have any questions about the pool rules or format, please write me back. If you have any technical problems joining my pool, please let me know or contact the website. If the above link doesn't work and you need the poolid# and password, they are shown below: Have fun playing and good luck to all! Adios, God Bless America, and Viva Mexico, Chris "Smokedoggydogg" Moyers |
