Rules and Regulations


The Winnipeg Bridge Club, operating under government charter, is hosting the seventeenth annual Charter Pools Winnipeg NFL Betpool. This year, for the sixth time, eligibility has been opened to the general public. The rules of the Betting Pool are simple and largely unchanged from previous years.



1

Players purchase entries before participating. Entries cost $15.00 U.S. ($20.00 Canadian) each. Please make cheques payable to:

Colin Ward

And send them to:

685 Pritchard Avenue
Winnipeg, Manitoba
CANADA R2W-2K6

Please ensure that your email address (if any) is written on the back of your cheque.
2

Each entry starts at 1000 points ("dollars").
3

Entrants bet against a line based on Harrah's Odds. These odds will be emailed to all entrants.
4

Winning a bet adds the amount wagered to your total; amounts wagered on losing bets are subtracted from your total. Ties leave cash totals unaffected. No "vig" or "juice" is applied to any bets. Assets bet on a tied result cannot be re-wagered that same week.
5

Entrants may wager no more than the week-start total of the entry. For example, in your first week you may wager up to 1000 points.
6

The Caslake Rule: If the week-start total of an entry is greater than 500 points no single wager may constitute more than half the week-start total of that entry. For example, in your first week you may wager no more than (1000 / 2 =) 500 in any one game. To commit their total assets, then, entrants starting a week with more than 500 points will have to bet on at least two different games.
7

Bets may be placed by email to cpw@escape.ca, phone (1-204-586-2401 or, if no answer, 1-204-287-8805), snail mail (postmarked 24 hours or more before game time, received no later than the following Tuesday), at the Winnipeg Bridge Club (Osborne Legion, Winnipeg) or in person. Betting ceases and wagers become final at kickoff time.
8

Entries may be purchased at any time before or during the NFL regular season. Participation is open to all except where prohibited by law.
9

90% of entry fees are returned to entrants in the prize pool. 60% of the prize pool monies go to the entry with the highest year end total. Second prize of 30% goes to the 2nd highest total. A consolation prize of 10% goes to the owner of the entry that has lost the most points by a total of 1 point or less against the spread. This consolation prize is termed the "Greased by the Least" award.
10

Entrants may not allow knowledge of another entrant's wagers to affect their own betting decisions.

Times not certain. Please check you local listings.
