    Star [*] Johnny Detroit's $500 Bowl Challenge!

    To show my thanks for everyone who supports Pregame.com, I am personally sponsoring this contest out of pocket! No deposit at a book or entry fee required. This winner take all contest will get $500 cash direct from me (either money order or Western Union).

    Using the lines from PregameAction.com's endorsed list of books (can be found here) you can pick a side or total from any of Bowl Games for the 2008-09 season. Whoever ends up with the most overall points when the Bowl Games conclude will be the winner. Games will be posted in this thread and YOU MUST reference the sportsbook the line came from (in the event someone questions the line).

     Pick rules:
    *Minimum of 10 selections by the completion of the Bowl Season
    1) Entire slate of bowl games are eligible for selections.
    2) Win=+1 point, Loss=-1 points Push=+1/2 point
    3) Allowed 1 Best Best that is worth 3 points.
    4) A non-PregameAction.com book line will be an automatic -1 loser.
    5) No editing of posts. Any edit will be an automatic -1. Please just make a new post.
    6) You can make a selection for any game there is a line for. You do not need to wait for the actual gameday.
    7) In the event of a tie going into the last game, we will use closest to final score which will be email to me and posted by me once the game kicks.
    8) In the event of a tie AFTER the last game, we will use the last 5 overall selections (Best Bet in the last 5 will only be valued as  1 point selection in this event).

    Scars remind us of where we've been. They don't have to dictate where we're going.

    Bowl Games only go for like 2 weeks and you need a min of 10 selections.

    Should not be that tough?
