Bowl season comp

I'll have a go, as you will notice I'm a bit partial to a little competition every now and again.

Saw some of those great matches a couple of weeks back, particularly Alabama/Auburn. Its a pity there isn't much liquidity on here for these games - I find it harder to operate, but can still do it, just need to change my approach a little.

I think it will happen, hope it does - that Betfair becomes legal in US - then the NFL and College Football markets could maybe get close to scale of cricket and tennis on here (also NHL, NBA for followers of those).

I'll do my research and throw my hat into the ring this evening or tomorrow morning.

Ok cool wallflower. Looks like me and you right now lol

Oh and to clarify. You can do match odds picks, handicap picks or both.

San Diego (-1.5)
San Diego (match odds)
USC (-6)
Louisiana (match odds)
Washington St (-3.5)

SD & -1.5
FRESNO
LOUISIANA
WASH ST & -3.5


Welcome to the comp redcar

Colorado State (match odds)
Colorado State +3.5
Buffalo (match odds)
Buffalo +1.5
Tulane -2.5

Hank, do you think it's fair a S/U pick earns as many points as a spread winner?

I thought it ought to be 2 pts for a SPREAD winner, 1pt for a 'cap win.

I am not combining the scores DD. I'll score the match line and spread separately so it doesn't matter they're a point each.

Are you going to give it a crack?

Phi what about the USC game?

Buff and Buff - 1.5

USC and USC - 6.0

Tulane and Tulane - 2.5

Wash and Wash - 3.5


Early days, gonna ride the favs...(although probs not with real money!)

Buffalo v San Diego (-1.5)  --    San Diego (match-odds)   &   San Diego (-1.5)
Fresno v USC (-6)           --    USC (match odds)         &   Fresno (+6)
Tulane (-2.5) v Louisiana   --    Tulane (match odds)      &   Tulane (-2.5)
Washington St (-3.5) v Colorado St --- Colorado St (match odds)  &   Colorado St (+3.5)

might have a flutter if I get back in time.

DD I have SD -1.5. You want them or buf +1.5 ?

USC -6

At least there is a handful of us in the comp. May the best man win and let the bowl season commence
