WE HAVE WINNERS
Week 10 will be worth $1,640.00 to a single winner
Week 9 Update: Well… That Escalated Quickly
OH MY GOODNESS!! What in the heck happened this week?
After seven straight rollovers and weeks of everyone asking, “Does anybody actually win this thing?”, the football gods apparently decided to go completely off the rails.
Week 8 finally produced two winners, ending the rollover madness. Each winner walked away with a very healthy $6,540.00.
Then we reached Week 9.
And suddenly every NFL team that Poolers picked decided to cooperate.
The only real upset among the popular picks was Green Bay, selected by 22 Poolers, knocking off New England, which had been selected by 47 Poolers.
The result?
One hundred and twenty-two winners.
Congratulations to all of you… I guess.
Your share of the winnings amounted to a whopping $13.00 each.
Compared to last week’s winners, who pocketed $6,540.00 apiece, there really is no comparison. In fact, some of last week’s winners were also among this week’s 122 winners, proving that life isn’t always fair and apparently luck is contagious.
Obviously, I’m not going to list 122 names here. I have other plans for the evening.

Week 8 and Week 9 now stand as two of the most extreme weeks in Pick 10 history.
Week 8 produced the largest payout in the history of the pool. The prize pot was more than double any previous season’s high, and both winners collected the largest individual payouts we’ve ever seen.
Then Week 9 came along and produced the most winners ever in a single week, along with the second-smallest payout in pool history. The only smaller payout was $7.00 many years ago, back when fewer than 100 brave souls participated in this little adventure.
As for the Pick 1 pools, Week 9 was apparently set on being as boring as possible.
In the Pick 1 Winner Pool, not a single Pooler suffered a loss. All 42 participants survive to make picks again in Week 10.
The Pick 1 Loser Pool wasn’t much different. Only one Pooler recorded a loss, and it was merely her first. All 46 participants remain alive and picking.
The Accumulative Pool didn’t see much movement either.
Covey remains in first place with 70 wins.
Lil Wambo sits just one game back with 69 wins.
Meanwhile, Walleye Moses has quietly put together back-to-back perfect 10-win weeks and has climbed into third place with 67 wins.
Just behind them are C. Hawk 80, PTC SPARTAN, and wargie, all sitting at 66 wins and waiting for someone above them to stumble.
Half of the Pick 10 season is now in the books.
We’ve already witnessed record jackpots, record winner totals, and enough strange outcomes to last an entire season.
There’s still plenty of football left and plenty of money waiting to be won.
Now let’s stop splitting prize pools 122 ways and get back to winning some real money.
