OK, HELP! I'm not sure I'm getting this confidence point thing. I appreciate the pointers, but .....

Any ideas! My picks are up at the site.

Thanks,

TS

confidence points are how you score points every week. IU vs Nebraska, for example... I say IU will route the Cornstalkers so I put whatever the max # of confidence points on them. They whoop them by 1 point or by 35 points, doesn’t matter, but I score that many CPs as a result of my picking the winner.... and so on with the other games

Your picks are only visible to others after the games begin, so........
Remember we are using the point spread-—this is critical. You must cover the spread to get the points you place on each game.
The confidence points are what you place on each game, if you are correct—you get those points.
Put the highest points on the games you are most confident in-—lowest on the least.
Remember to check in right before game day because the point spread can change right up until the day before each game.
For example-—put the highest points on, say—Florida over Ch So, a very easy pick.
A low confidence pick would be, say-—Alabama -21 over Maryland—that is a lot of points, so I would put a low confidence bet.You can take MD and the 21 points or take Alabama and give the 21 points, and so on.
Hope that helps ;)
