Its games like the survivor and the pick'em that remind me why I stopped gambling on football...... I suck at it.

Yeah, they are fun until you gamble and loose.

So do I. At least, the last time I did with real money....

I did find something different, though. I don't normally pimp other websites but this one http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/ has a really cool (IMO) system going on. Join the forum and you get 6 pts/day just for clicking on a thread (daily). Once you get a little bank of points, they have a full blown sportsbook you can wager your points in. Football/Baseball/Soccer/Basketball.... everything.. college and pro.

You can also "Go Pro" in which case you'll receive 12 pts/day. Going Pro requires you do donate $100 to one of 3 charities. Good for a year. You'll get that back from the daily points.

When you get a substantial amount of points, you can spend them on pizza gift cards (that's where the pickem contest prize is coming from), Home Depot/Lowes gift cards, Electronics, clothing, turn your points into another charity donation, and many other options at the website's "store". I like the website because it satisfies my inner degenerate gambler without costing real money - IMO, the idea of donating your entry fee to charity is genius... I've been having a pretty good season so far in the sportsbook and in one of their pickem contests.... Must point out that this is not a family friendly website, however.....

Finally got my first loss but was happy to take the bullet so Colt could stop the Cowboy juggernaut.

Oakland at Seattle looked like almost too good of a mismatch, one of those where the NFLPA (through intermediaries, of course) puts down money on the Raiders and cleans up while the rest of us wonder how it could have possibly happened.

So, I opted for the next biggest mismatch which was Cincy at home over Jackassville.

9-1 so far but the good options are getting more difficult to find. I'm almost forced to take three-win Washington at home against one-win Tampa Bay even though I don't feel all that good about it.

Chuck is the only other player with just one loss.

This is the first week where I've been uncomfortable with my pick. I have some good teams left, I just hate picking road teams.

looks like I got strike 3 on survival league with Tampa beating Washington.

And lot of upset type wins in pickem league. oh well.

I'm done, too. I was going to pick Washington, but I decided to go with Denver as a "safer" pick. I looked at the picks made for this week by everyone else. We all had Denver or Washington. It's between Bob and Chuck now. good luck, y'all.
