RE: Season "Stock" Contest
The winner is the one with the most points, which is the same as percentage gain since ever player starts with 100 points.
For winning the player earns the right to say they won the contest.
The rule change was added to the OP. Please note the only all caps section.
Thanks

Yep, he should probably just put that in savings so he has something left when he loses his shirt shorting ODU.
Claude,
You start with 100, then you got 750 by shorting 100 shares of ODU so you've got 850 to spend.

IMHO ODU is a dark horse we could go either way or just be a middling team. Def'ly the most difficult to predict.

Yep. I decided against including the home team in my bets either way.

I'd like to put all my units into the C-USA Mutual Fund. As most have realized here, C-USA, as usual, is going to do much better than its preseason projection.
That's easy money.

UTEP - Other than Northern Arizona who do they beat?
FAU - With probable championship game and bowl game tough to Short
Marshall - See FAU
UNT - Just don't see how they lose 5 games with that offense and a slightly improved defense. Key inner division games and FAU at home (Undefeated at home last year)
MTSU - They will sneak up on FAU or Marshall. Healthy Stockstill and one of the the top CUSA defenses will make them "sexy" again.
Charlotte - 3 wins is doable with their schedule.

I don't see me on there, I was post #118
RE: Season "Stock" Contest
Ok, to truly gamble for big win or big loss, here I go:
Short FAU - 25 Shares (+237.50)
Buy UTEP - 28 Shares (-70.00)
Buy Rice - 25 Shares (-75.00)
Buy UTSA - 35 Shares (-192.50)
If my math is correct that should even out.

Claude,

I think TechRocks in post #119 also left 100 points on the table.
Looks like it.
I shorted 10 shares of Marshall - that's 10 X 8.5 or 85
That starts me at 185, no?
Bought 20 shares of MTSU at 6.00 each or 120
Bought 10 shares of USM at 6.5 each or 65
185 - 120 - 65 is ZERO, no?
BTW, I would hope that banker, while he's compiling the data, would check with anyone who left money on the table just in case they made an error and wish to correct it before the contest officially starts.
