WEEK 3 PICKS/Results

Impressive week overall...Hill turns in a big week with 6 wins. Hall puts up 4 big wins. Shade hits the 1st parlay of the year for $280...but gives almost all of it back with an idiotic Player Prop bet. So far this year looks a lot like last year - no one able to separate with a big hit.

I also want to honor Eller, who puts up his first .500 week since...well, it seems like it's been a while. Maybe since the inception of gambling.

Official 2009-2010 UFFSB Rules and Regs

Let's get ready to fake gamble.

This season's official Rules and Regs are below. Any comments, questions, or concerns...please call Eller.

Rule 1 - Entry Fee
Entry fee is $30 for the year. Send directly to:
Mike Shade
1706 Foxhall Ln
Greensboro, NC 27410
Deadline for funds is Week 3. If you miss the deadline, you will stop getting weekly allowances until you're paid up.

Rule 2 - Winnings
The Unified Fund has 12 players this year, we'll pay out one more position. Payouts will be as follows:
1st place - $200.
2nd place - $80.
3rd place - $50
4th place - $30.

Rule 3 - Allowances
Each week, each competitor will receive $100 fantasy dollars to bet with. Any winnings add to your balance and can be used the following week.
Allowances STOP at the end of the regular season; we'll have to bet wisely in the Playoffs.
The competitor with the most fantasy dollars at the end of the year wins.

Rule 4 - Lines
Lines will be posted on Wednesday of every week to this site. (Games that are not yet handicapped by Wednesday will be posted as they become available.)

Rule 5 - Picks
Picks must be emailed to unifiedfund@yahoo.com before 1 p.m. EST on Sunday. If you send picks after the allotted time, your picks will be voided, you will be sent a harsh letter of denial, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Once I have received all picks, I will post to the Unified Fund website for all to see.
(If you choose to wager on a Thursday night contest, the email must be received before 8:15 p.m. Eastern Time, before kickoff. Same goes for any games played on Saturday.)

Winnings are not eligible for use until the following week. (i.e - you can't bet a Thursday game and use winnings on that Sunday's game.)

Rule 6 - Bet minimums
Each competitor must wager on at least 4 games per week. If no picks are received or a competitor places any less bets than 4, the competitor will forfeit the weekly $100 fantasy dollars. There is no maximum number of games a competitor can bet on. (The 4 bet minimum is for Regular Season only - there will be no minimums in post-season play)
Minimum bet is $10 unless otherwise posted.

Rule 7 - Reg. Season Performance Bonuses NEW
Periodically throughout the season, you can add additional deposits to your stack...
- After week 6: Top 5 Bonus ($200 - $50)
- After week 12: Top 5 Bonus ($200 - $50)
- Season End - Top 5 Bonus ($200 - $50)
- Season End - Winning % Bonus

>70% = $400
>60% = $200
>50% = $100

Rule 8 - Available bets
Regular Season: Point Spreads, 5 Player Props, 1 optional 3-team Parlay
Playoffs: Point Spreads, Moneylines, Over/Under, Player Props, Parlays, and anything else we can think of.

I think that's it. If I missed something let me know.

First week's lines will be posted this Wednesday...remember if you want to bet preseason get those to me by Wednesday as well.
