5Dimes $250 Monthly NFL Moneyline Handicapping Contest

Rules:

Before you enter, you will need to sign up for an account at 5Dimes through this link (no deposit necessary) and email your account number to predictem@hotmail.com with your forum username. Players who fail to do so are not eligible to win a prize. If you already have an acct at 5Dimes, your're still eligible and you too need to send in your account number to predictem@hotmail.com along with your forum username.

Each week, we'll post the upcoming weekend's NFL games along with the moneylines for all teams listed as underdogs.. You will need to make (3) underdog moneyline selections. To make grading easy, we'll only be counting the units from wins. (Losses won't count against you)

Contest lines will be posted by Thursday of each week and we will only be using NFL games played on Sunday and Monday. These lines will consist of undedog moneylines only.

We'll keep records starting with the first weekend of the month and ending with the last weekend of the month. If it so happens that Sunday is the last day of the month and Monday is the first day of the month, that Monday will be lumped in with the final weekend of the month.

Assuming that you've read the rules, we have your account number on file and will send it in a few days after the monthly contest ends. These accounts can take time to get credited, so please be patient. DO NOT CALL THE SPORTSBOOK ASKING TO BE CREDITED. YOU WILL BE DQ'D IF YOU DO THIS. If you have any ?'s, email us at predictem@hotmail.com

Deadline to enter is one minute before the first game starts on Sunday morning.

Prizes will be awarded to the top 2 finishers at the end of the month.
