James,
Basically, take the spread and add/subtract that many points from a team's score. Say a team is favored by 5 points (which would read "-5")...atthe end of the game, subtract 5 points from that team's score. If they still hold the lead after taking the points away, you win the bet. If the game wouldfinish tied after taking those points away, you draw. If the team would lose after taking those points away, you lose.
If you still don't understand, go to centsports.com and check out their betting guide. They have a pretty simple betting guide that lays everything out inan understandable way.

I was thinking about 15-20 people with a $10 or $15 entry fee, and doing it just like a Yahoo Pick 'Em league with deadlines for picks. Theonly problem would be the shifting lines. Do you pick at the beginning of each week or wait until the day of the game when the line would be settled down nearits final point?

Another good point. let me see if wagerline is still doing office pools, that might save us all some trouble as far as spreads and tracking picksand what not.

I got a pool setup on wagerline. You can pick up to 5 games per day, maximum... the person with the most money at the end is the winner. Each pick is weightedthe same (1000 points), and the lines are handled by them so you can just decide the picks (up to 5) you like best that day.
Would this work for everyone? if so, i have it setup already - i just need emails to send invites out to. let me know if you'd tweak it anyway?

We all knew this would be close
My email is [email protected]
15 bucks is fine for me. And lines shifting might be the only problem

EDIT- So on wagerline, they keep track of all the correct picks and points awarded? Then the winner of the pool is the one with the most points by the end ofthe year... In case of a tie what would the tie breaker be?

Scottie having one of his nights tho....Hazzell has the ultimate green light.
