I am in a one pick a week pool and the prize is 10K. There are 3 people left and I see no guarantee wins for anyone this week. These are straight up picks.........If your team loses you are out. I would appreciate any feedback on who you think will win the game outright!
Thanks for your help!
As a way of hedging, you might start thinking about picking teams in your survival pool and playing their opponent for 1K or so on the moneyline.
That is, say you pick GB this weekend. You might want to put 1K down on wash at +250 (or whatever they're getting). That way, even if you get eliminated from survivor, you still pocket some cash.
You can get into trouble this way if you and an opponent keep winning each week (you're spending 1K each week, and you're not getting closer to the 10K). But, with only 3 people left, this is unlikely to happen.
You might want to just start betting whatever the entry fee was (100, 200, whatever) if you don't have 1K to throw around.
