    Or have it that you can't win two weeks in a row for the specific pickem game. Like say you win the ncaa and next week the nfl, you should get the money for both weeks, but if you win it twice in a row for nfl for example, get it only for the first week?</p>

    Did you get the $250 from BetUS?</p>

    Was it cash or did they just give you money for your account?</p>

    $250 in 'free play', which can be only used on short teasers and straight wagers that just gets converted to cash if you win.</p>

    I think we may want to consider restricting winners to once per month or something like that, so other people can get in on the prize money. It wouldn't affect the current winners, but might be something we start next week.</p>

    Comments?</p>

    I was for it at the time, but now I'm against it. [​IMG]</p>

    How about this idea?</p>

    If a person wins on consecutive weeks or an admin wins the prize money carries over into the next week. JACKPOT style!</p>

    Great idea!</p>

    What if the same person wins three weeks in a row, though? Does he get the jackpot or does it continue to carry over until somebody new wins?</p>

    If they win 3 in a row, just give it to them. They really didn't "win" in the second week.</p>

    I motion we go back in time, and implement the award system starting with week 3. [​IMG]</p>

    Oh, and make it so you can win it 2 weeks in a row, but only during weeks 3 and 4!</p>

    I received the $100 check on Friday(hell yeah) and I placed four $50 straight up bets on betus.com today:</p>

    Jacksonville + 4.5</p>

    Cleveland + 10</p>

    NY Giants + 3</p>

    Buffalo - 3.5</p>

    </p>

    So we will see how that goes</p>
