Betonline $1M Survivor Pool - home stretch

[rseconi]

I'm new to the forum. I tried out the betonline $1M Survivor pool for the first time. I invested ~ $450 to get 26 entries. I'm now down to 1 pick left. Been a fun pool so far, luckily I avoided most of the major upsets. It started with 35,498, now down to 47. I will share my experience during the final 2 weeks, picks made once they lock after kickoff, pay out timing (if i make it 2 more weeks), etc. It's a popular and growing overseas pool, so thought I would share for anyone looking to join next season!

I'm considering Cowboys or Bengals this week, luckily have both left, unfortunately already used Broncos and Patriots. So far it looks like 35% on Cowboys for Christmas games. Will share more when %'s lock after kickoff.

Good luck for those of you still alive in your survivors, 2 more weeks. Happy holidays!

Good luck with your decision! I was in this survivor pool and got eliminated on Week 14 in the Tampa wave. Unfortunately I had used all of the good alternatives that week, but overall it was a pretty fun contest.

Given so few players left and that people can change selections up until kickoff, I'm not sure how much the percentages really mean at this point. Hopefully this contest goes again next year and they keep the added wrinkle of the extra Thanksgiving slate.

Welcome. What did you use to get past Turkey Day/Black Friday?

Hi btcfan. I was lucky to have multiple entries still left so took 1 pick and used as a hedge (took Bears) realizing that I'd be 1 of very few, knowing 90%+ would go out. There were ~ 2k left going into that weekend.

Figured you probably had both sides of that game. I guess since it wasn't Circa, where you needed to lock it in early, you already knew what happened on Thurs going into the Philly game and could still pick then. Definitely worth burning an entry in that spot.

I was in a group with 2 that we split on Bal/Philly. Didn't like either game but didn't have the Bears available for Fri and wasn't taking Cinci in that spot.

Our group has a few going at Splash that go into the playoffs. Interesting way to play, trying to dodge taking playoff teams to keep as many alive as possible. Started week 14, looking good so far. Feels like a coin flip who makes the deep run so will need some luck on the postseason.

Our couple Circa entries got crushed on the AZ dropped TD vs TN. Awful way to go but we would have been done on Turkey Day. We had Det/Bal slotted for that. Would have got that far but no different result.

GL! You might be able to get some creative bets based on other's selections as a hedge (round robins/etc).

Ugh, sorry to hear that on Tennessee. I was at that game, brutal, never seen anything like that in terms of a complete meltdown. Never heard of survivor into playoffs, takes another level of strategy. This is the first time Betonline did the Tday games as a separate week, kind of required to thin out the entries after starting with 36k. Good luck in the playoffs, luckily you have Bengals and Cowboys to use this week w/ neither needing to save for playoffs!
