Ok Gentlemen it's been a LONG TIME so who's ready to get this thing started again!?
Let's get as many as we can signed up playing and we'll figure out the payout after we get a final number!

Looking forward to a little competition and chit talking once again!

games start on 09/03/2021


Rules:

1) Ante is 10 cigars.

2) You have up until 5 minutes prior to the beginning of each game to make your selection.

3) Once the contest is over and shooting solutions are plotted, please endeavor to complete your fire control missions in a timely manor. Two weeks should be more than sufficient.

4) If you are interested, post in the thread first( ie: "IN") , the send me a PM. I'll send you the Group ID and password.




Ante Guidelines.

1) Absolutely no dog turds. One would expect to receive quality smokes. Therefore, one should be willing to risk the same. No five or ten packs of $2-$3 cigars. Though one may enjoy them, most others would consider them yard gars at best. Likewise, a $50 Gurkha that retails for $3 is not considered a good cigar.

2) Keep in mind that in the past most players included at least a few aged premiums therefore it is only fair that all others endeavor to risk something similar.

3) On the other hand, it is understood that not everyone has a stash of aged super premiums. But, there should be ample time between now and the end of the contest to pick up a selection of good, though not necessarily aged cigars.



To play you have to meet one of the following:

1) Been a Cbid member for at least 6 months and have 3 verifiable completed trades, or have a vet vouch for you.

2) If you don't meet 1) then PM me. We can arrange for you to send me your ante and 1 extra stick to cover postage.

Anyone pick Illinois punter?

I’m sorry but, I texted Chris earlier. I’m in the direct path of beotch named Ida. Based on local predictions we are expected CAT 1 or 2 winds and 15” of rain when it hits use Monday morning. I may be without electricity for a few weeks among others issues.

WTF?

Get your picks in fellas.

Any news on Abrignac?

Haven't heard anything since he text me right before the storm hit.

Can anyone vouch for cashmoneydave?

He's wanting to join in and put us at 10 player's

That makes sense. I don't recall any PIBs as of yet

cool thanks guys, yeah its been a few years since I did any trades

Warmup pick. Doesn't count

Csgamecock, just curious but are we going against the spread this year? It looks like that is the setting. I kept wondering why some of my picks were coming up as a loss. If we stay that way, I will be picking a lot differently next week.

David

Yep.. big difference.. I wasn't aware...

It works out better than you'd think through the course of the season.

ok so i looked and I did screw up this year, I thought I had deselected the spread but I didn't, I deselected the confidence picks only.


I can either leave it as is or I can create a new group (can't change it in this one now) and basically make the 1st week null and void.

Let me know what you guys want and majority rules.
Sorry I had no idea I messed up guys

Since i'm last in line, i'm not going to vote and will let the leaders decide. I'm fine with whatever the decision is.

I would like to play,I have never done any trades though.

I'm fine either way...

tho I had gotten comfortable with picking the winners without regard to the spread...made it much easier, and less work...beating the spread means more effort...so I'm kinda leaning in that direction
