BetFirstClass is presenting a very unique wagering concept this season which as far as I know, is not being offered at any other sportsbook. Each week, players will have an opportunity to submit a Fantasy Football team and wager on their team?s ability to defeat the team that is submitted each week by Michael, the owner of BetFirstClass.
Mike has no prior experience in Fantasy Football but is confident enough in his football knowledge that he is taking all comers. If you have significant experience in Fantasy, this is an opportunity to play head-to-head against a sportsbook owner each week of the season and earn some cash.
Format
Every Friday afternoon throughout the NFL regular season, using the rosters of all NFL teams, BetFirstClass will post a Fantasy team that players will have a chance to wager against by forming their own team from the rest of the available players on NFL rosters. The Player?s team will consist of any active NFL player or defense that was has not been selected to be on BetFirstClass? team that particular week. Players on teams that play in games prior to Sunday in any given week are not eligible and only players playing in Sunday and Monday night games will be permitted.
Each team will be made up of eight players: QB, RB1, RB2. WR1, WR2, WR3, TE & K. Each team must also select a defense that is different than the one selected by BetFirstClass.
After selecting their team, Players will submit their team roster via email to Rachael@BetFirstClass.com and copy Judge@BetFirstClass.com with the message. Teams must be received via email by no later that 10:00 am EST each Sunday. Upon receipt of each competing team, BFC will respond to the player submitting their team via email and by 11:30 am, a list of the competing teams will be posted on the forum.
Wagering
Wagers limits are a minimum of $25.00 up to a maximum of $300.00 and no more that two entries from the same BetFirstClass are allowed each week. Wagers may be placed via BetFirstClass? website or via phone prior to the kickoff of the earliest game on Sunday.
For grading purposes, the official stats for players posted each week on the Fantasy page of NFL.com will be used. For each head-to-head matchup, the team with the greater number of points will win the wager and the team with the lesser number will lose the wager for that week. If your team and the BetFirstClass team each have the same number of points, the wager will result in a push.
Scoring
Point Values
Each week your team will compete against the BetFirstClass team in a head-to-head matchup. During a matchup, each of the players in your starting lineup ("active" players) for that week will earn points based on their actual statistics from their respective NFL games. The charts below list the statistics and their corresponding point values.

Passing, Rushing or Receiving Touchdown (PaTD, RuTD,ReTD) - 6 points
Passing Yards(PaYD) - 1 point for every 25 yards
Rushing Yards(RuYD) - 1 point for every 10 yards
Receiving Yards(ReYD) - 1 point for every 10 yards
2 point conversion(Pa2P, Ru2P, Re2P) - 2 points
Passing Interception(PaInt) - -2 points
Fumble Lost, including ST plays (FL) - -2 points
Field Goal(FG) - 0-49 yards = 3 points; 50+ yards = 5 points
Extra Point(XP) - 1 point
Offensive Fumble Recovery Touchdown(OFRTD) - 6 points
Defensive Scoring
Defense
Total Defensive/ Special Teams Touchdown (DTD - 6 points
Safety(STY) - 2 points
Interception(Int) - 2 points
Defensive/ST Fumble Recovered (DFR) - 2 points
Sack(SACK) - 1 point
Points Against, Total Points Scored (PA) - 0-6 = 8 points; 7-13 = 6 points; 14-20 = 4 points; 21-27 = 2 points; 28+ = 0 points
Yards Allowed(YDS) - 0-49 = 12 points; 50-99 = 10 points; 100-149 = 8 points; 150-199 = 6 points; 200-249 = 4 points; 250-299 = 2 points; 300+ = 0 points
Statistics
Following the completion of each week's games, all statistics and point totals will be verified, and corrections will be made where necessary. However, all statistics and point totals for the week are considered FINAL as of 11:59:59 PM ET on Wednesday and the players? statistics shown at that time on the Fantasy page of NFL.com will be final for the purpose of wager grading. If a stat correction is announced for the previous weekend's games after 11:59:59 PM ET on Wednesday or later, it will not be included in the final statistics and each team?s official score will be based on the original statistic.
NOTES
Offensive Scoring (QB, RB, WR, TE) Any offensive player will receive points for any offensive statistics he accumulates. Scoring will be calculated according to the following example: If a QB throws for 200 yards and 2 TDs; rushes for 20 yards and 1 TD; and has 25 yards receiving, his point total for the week would be: 3 TDs = 18 points, 200yds Passing = 8 points, 20yds Rushing = 2 points, 25yds receiving = 2 points; or 30 total points for the week.
Defensive/Special Team scoring Your defense/special teams is awarded points when any one of its members generates a TD, INT, fumble recovery, safety or sack. Your defense/special teams unit is also awarded points for a kickoff or punt return that results in a TD. For instance, if your active defense/special teams is the Saints and Reggie Bush returns a punt for a TD, you get 6 points. In the same situation, a team using Reggie Bush as an active RB would NOT be awarded points.
Fumbles Lost by a player on special teams or defense will lose 2 points if they turn the ball over to the opposing team at any time such player is on the field. For instance, if you have Reggie Bush active at RB and he fumbles the ball away at any time while he is on the field, your team will lose 2 points. This includes a fumble lost while returning a punt, kick, interception (if your RB were playing defense) or while on offense at RB.
Offensive Fumble Recovery Touchdowns are any touchdowns resulting from a fumble recovered by an offensive skill player. For instance, if your active wide receiver is Kevin Curtis and he recovers a fumble in the end zone for a touchdown, your team would be awarded 6 points.
Defensive Points Allowed will take into account ALL the points allowed by the team as a whole. This includes points scored against the offense (TD from an interception, safeties, etc.) and special teams (punt return for a TD) as well as those scored against the defense.
Defensive Touchdowns are any touchdowns scored by the defensive team. This includes fumble returns and interception returns.
Special Teams Touchdowns are touchdowns scored by punt returns, kickoff returns or returns of blocked kicks or punts.
To calculate the Total Yards Allowed, simply add the other team's Total Rushing and Total Passing Yards gained.
Rounding will NOT be used when calculating points from statistics. For example, 49 yards rushing will result in 4 points, not 5.
