I haven't participated but would like to when the regular season rolls around. Would be nice to get a reminder every day which games can be bet on though... pretty hard for us out of market folks to know what's on national TV.
Spoiler/honor system should work quite well, hate to make anyone take up the logistics of tallying bets...
I agree that each day's available bets posted is a good idea instead of having to reference the first post each day.

A good strategy for this year would be to sneak a peak at my picks and do the opposite.
Like I said.
I’m at $600 after the Lakers 3rd stringers beat the Clippers.

Cap, if this resets and is meant to be a full season thing, should we go with more than $1,000 in the initial pot? Or I guess we could also bet in smaller increments.

I like keeping it small and see where it goes.

As long as we start with an equal amount, it really doesn't matter if it's 1,000,000 or 1,000. But maybe you want to feel like a big spender?

Sure. I've got 0.25c on the next game. See? Not that hard.
