$200,000 Pro Football Handicappers Challenge

[IE]

Offers $75,000 Top Prize and 51 Other Payoffs



If you think you know football and want to reap a big-time payoff for your expertise, the Pro Football Handicappers Challenge -- with $200,000 in guaranteed prize money -- is the contest to enter. First prize is $75,000, and if you can hit 66.7% or better, there is a $10,000 bonus waiting for you.



Sponsored by an elite offshore sportsbook, CaribSports.com, this season-long, against-the-pointspread (ATS) contest is competitive, challenging and potentially rewarding for entrants who are good handicappers, lucky handicappers, or both.



This contest carries a $250 entry fee, so it is not an invitation for all the free contest hunters on the 'Net. A $50 rebate is available for anyone who signs up in July.



By limiting the contest to paying 'cappers, Carib attracts hundreds, rather than thousands, of players. Thus, the odds of an individual winning are much greater than if Carib tried to attract hordes of bettors by making the contest a freebie.



Each entrant must pick five games ATS each week, using the lines posted at Carib on Tuesdays. Most spreads will be hung at half-point to avoid ties.



A total of 51 prizes will be awarded, with 41st through 50th places winning $750. There will also be a booby prize for utter ineptness. Whoever manages to finish with the worst record will win $5,000.



Carib has been running the Pro Football Handicappers Challenge for six years, and this year's edition is the richest ever. Last year's winner went 55-28-2 and took home $59,000, narrowly missing the cutoff for the additional bonus.



Contest rules are simple. Wins are two points, pushes are one point, and losses receive no points. The winners will be determined by the total number of points accrued over the 17-week NFL season.



Selections of all entrants are available for viewing after 1:00 pm Eastern time on Sundays, when the early games kick off.



For sheer excitement and a roller-coaster ride through the NFL season that will let you thrill to miracle wins and get heartburn over bad beats, Carib's Pro Football Handicappers Challenge is the Super Bowl of contests.

IE, is CaribSports a good book? I can get a 50%
sign up bonus on first deposit, 10% reload bonus,
and I want to enter the NFL Contest. Do they
come out with early lines or are they late with
totals like 5Dimes? :shrug:

 

[IE]

Carib is a very decent book, for a good explanation of their bonus structure refer to Jack's post here:

http://www.madjacksports.com/forum/showthread.php?t=249455

they are not the first put out lines like BetCRIS, Pinnacle or The Greek but they are not far behind.

 

[Kramer]

COOL
I deposited $550 Western Union, ($50 buck charge)=$600.
I get a 50% bonus ($250 max) +5% bonus to
help offset Western Union=$827.50
Then I enter NFL Challenge, -$250, but get $25
rebate because I entered in August.
SO, I spent $600 today, have $602.50 in my
account, and in a NFL contest to POSSIBLY WIN
$$$$ for nothing.
:toast: :drinky: :Yep:

 

[IE]

Good luck Kramer--hope you win the darn thing and thanks for your support of a MadJackSports sponsor!

Only 548 people five days before the deadline. There are usually 100 dead money entries and another 250 square money entries. So you are looking at really only 300 strong entries. 60-25 wins it going away. 55-58 will be the winning number otherwise. I'm going for 60+. No drama. No drama. :SIB

lets get ready to rumble!!
