2009 Free Weekly Football Contest With CASH Prizes

It's that time of year again, time for football. And to celebrate, we're doing it in style with a free football picking contest.

Last season we were a little late to the party starting past the midpoint of the season and limiting it to college football. This year we're cranking it up a bit in the prize department and expanding the game so you can chose NFL games as well and even totals (over/under)

This year we'll be doing the contest through our radio show, Picks and Parlays which airs Tuesday nights on Blog Talk Radio at 7 PM EST. Of course , this also means we'll be doing as a team with the Sports Chat Place and CT Sports Picks, much like our highly successful NCAA Basketball Bracket contest last year.

The reason we can have bigger and better prizes than last season is we have a sponsor.  Bet Jamaica will be handling all of the back end work for us including the posting of the odds we will be using along with quickly grading the entries, which I promise will be much faster than my manual process.

The weekly prize will start at $100, that's cash. If the contest grows as we suspect it will, the prizes will go up as well so be sure to tell your friends. What the heck, it's free to enter anyway.

What's really neat about the contest being sponsored by Bet Jamaica is that in addition to the weekly prize Craig and I are giving out for our group, you can be eligible to win Bet Jamaica's prizes they are giving away to those who perform the best in all of the separate contests they are running. This year's Bet Jamaica prize pool is 1.1 million dollars*.

Like I said, this year's contest blows last year's out of the water. While I've always had it so you can pick your 15 strongest games out of all games being played, this year your choices include the NFL games as well as the ability to include over/unders . More choices give you more opportunities to only use games you feel strongly about. How much better and fairer does it get than that?

Entering the contest is easy (and FREE). All you need to do is click on the Bet Jamaica banner located on the upper right of this site or the one at Craig's site or click on any of the Bet Jamaica links in this article. You need to sign up and join our group. The way to do this is:

1) Sign Up With Bet Jamaica using the banner at the top of the page, at Craig's site, or a link in this article.

2) Once signed up, go to the Group Membership page.

3) The name of our group is: Picks and Parlays  The Password is: parlays

It's that simple. If you have any questions or run into any problems, just leave a comment on this article and we will get it resoved quickly.


REMEMBER, YOU DO NOT NEED TO DEPOSIT ANY MONEY TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR OUR CONTEST.  If you do choose to deposit money, I will go on record as saying Bet Jamaica is one of the most reputable and dependable Sports Books on the Internet. I have never heard a complaint about them and as you can see from my other sponsors on my site, I would never do business or post a banner for someone I wouldn't do business with myself.

If you win, you can simply withdraw your winnings. Bet Jamaica has many withdrawal options and they are all fast and easy. You also of course have the options to play your winnings in their Sports Book. It's totally your choice. There are no restrictions on these winnings.

If you do choose to deposit money , Bet Jamaica has all kinds of deposit bonuses, half juice Fridays as well as other promotions and reload bonuses they run all the time. In addition, Craig and I will pay for your first $25 wager. It's on us, a thank you for your support and for being part of our sites and part of the contest. UPDATE: IF YOU DEPOSIT AT BET JAMAICA, YOU WILL WILL RECEIVE $100 IN FREE PLAYS, NOT JUST THE $25 WE PROMISED. BET JAMAICA HAS BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH US (AND WHO ISN'T?) SO THEY HAVE DECIDED TO GIVE EVERYONE WHO MAKES A DEPOSIT (of $100 or more) IN OUR GROUP $100. AFTER YOU sign up, send an email to mitch@sportschatplace.com or craig@ctsportspicks.com SO WE CAN MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR $100.

If you haven't already, you probably want to sign up for Craig or my free newsletter which will send out a weekly reminder about the contest and any updates as far as increasing the prize pools. Of course you will also get free picks and information you won't find anywhere else on either of our sites.

So be sure to enter and be sure to tell all of your friends who are football fans or who just love a free contest and a chance to win money as the more we have, the better the prizes.

This should be a lot of fun and I look forward to another great Football season.

 

*see Bet Jamaica for rules on their overall prizes, rules and structure. Regardless, the rules for Picks and Parlays group are as stated here.

I set the account up. The customer service leaves something to be desired. How long does it take the $25 to hit the account? Will it be available for Saturday college game day?

hmmm...I have always found Bet Jam's customer service to be pretty solid and their payouts prompt, but everyone has different experiences.
Not sure how the $25 logistics work out, that is more Craig's thing, I will ask him to address this as I believe if you lose, the money just goes back in your bankroll and if you win you keep the winnings but not 100% sure.

For your user name and password, it is something you create, once you have done that you go to join a group. For the Group select picks and parlays and the password is parlays. I hope this helps and if anyone has anything to add go ahead.

Yes, make sure you join through the link on this website, or on craig's website first. After that go to "Group Membership" and click on the "P" above the box on the right. There are 3 "Picks and Parlays" options but only one is spelled correctly. Click on the properly spelled name and enter the password and you should be all set.
