Starting in week three, participants will be given a $100 bankroll. After the opening lines are posted each Wednesday, participants will pick any five games against the spread and designate an amount to wager from their roll.
If your bankroll happens to fall below the $5 mark at any time after scoring is complete, you're eliminated from the contest.
The winner will be the poster with the highest bankroll left at the end of the seaon, or the last poster to go bankrupt.
First lines will be posted this coming Wednesday.
Who's in?

Orc, I hope you take a few minutes, and make the details clear.
Minimum bet, points/taste/vig for the house, where you get your odds, are we allowed to change our bets before kick-off, etc.?

You can change your bets up until 30 minutes prior to the first game of the week. After that, the thread locks for the weekend (or Thursday evening through the weekend, if applicable). This isn't Vegas ... it's just a silly little game I've been making up as I go along.
Minimum bet is $1, but then again, you aren't going to crawl up the standings playing it conservative here.
You play ... the game ... to WIN, dave.
About the only thing I could see the house doing is fining someone's bankroll down the road for not following the correct format, picking fewer or more games, or fucking up their own math.
As for the lines, I'm grabbing them off USA Today; however, since they never change, I'd imagine it wouldn't be much different than if I made them up myself after a Saturday night bender.
If something looks out of whack, by all means take advantage.
