To get into the top 10% last week, you needed a score of 209 or under. After ties and duplicates were accounted for, 21 new players qualified for the postseason, bringing us to 479 for the season.
bleulightning has finished in the top 10% for a fourth week in a row, the second player to do so this season. Four players finished in the top 10% for a second week in a row and will earn the bonus if they can do it again this week:
There were 23 aces in week 9 including the third from BeatNavyAgain, who earned a postseason bonus for that. And finally, your top 10 in the season-long standings:
Absolutely! While season-long standings are maintained, you can earn a berth to the bowl season edition by placing in the top 10% of any individual week, regardless of prior or future participation. Whenever you miss a week, your score for the season-long standings will tally as if you answered each question incorrectly.
What is Reverse Sheep?
Reverse Sheep is a futures prediction game where the goal is to come up with answers that are both correct and unique. Each week features five questions about players, teams, point totals, and anything else I cook up. Think of Reverse Sheep like the opposite of Family Feud. In Family Feud, you would want to be a "sheep" and follow the crowd, identifying the most popular answer. Reverse Sheep is the opposite: You want to give the least popular answer that is still correct. If you provide a correct answer, you score points equal to how many people guessed your answer. If your answer is incorrect, your score is the sum of the number of people who guessed the most popular answer PLUS the total number of unique correct answers given. Lowest score wins.
I'm confused. How about an example?
Sure. Let's say one of the questions is: "Name a power-5 running back who will rush for 125+ yards this week." Imagine 40 people are playing, and their answers break down like this, with the number of yards that player actually winds up rushing for in [brackets].
Jonathan Taylor (13 respondents) [168 rushing yards]
D'Andre Swift (10) [105]
Jermar Jefferson (7) [133]
Cam Akers (3) [26]
Travis Etienne (2) [126]
Zack Moss (2) [190]
Eno Benjamin (1) [65]
Joshua Kelley (1) [49]
A.J. Dillon (1) [159]
Everyone who picked a running back that eclipsed 125 yards scores points equal to how many guessed their answer. So the thirteen Taylor pickers get 13 points, the seven Jefferson pickers get 7, the two Etienne pickers and the two Moss pickers get 2, and the sole person who picked A.J. Dillon gets 1 point, an ace. An ace is the best possible outcome as it means you were the only person to pick a particular correct answer. Everyone else who picked incorrectly is tagged with 18 points. That's the number of the most popular pick (13) plus the number of correct responses given (5). Again, you are trying for the lowest score possible.
Bonuses
Throughout the course of the season, you'll be able to earn bonuses for top performances. A bonus will allow you to give two responses to a question in the postseason, giving you two chances at a correct answer (if both answers are correct, the lower score will count). Here's how to earn one:
Placing in the top 3 (not 3%) of a week
Placing in the top 10 (not 10%) of the season-long standings
Placing in the top 10% for three or more consecutive weeks (streaks cannot overlap; so 1-3 and 4-6 would count as two streaks, but 1-3 and 2-4 would not)
Picking two or more Aces in a single week
Finish with 3 or more Aces for the season
Longest streak of top 10% finishes
Participate every week (does not apply to week 0)
There is no limit to the number of bonuses that may be earned.
How do I win?
There are two ways in which you can qualify for the postseason, which will be the bowl season. You need to either finish in the top 10% of players for any one week, or make the top 10% of scores across the entire season. Anyone who misses a week will be charged the highest score of the week, as if they picked every question incorrectly. Even players who don't discover the game until later in the season can still play and qualify for the postseason without disrupting the season-long standings. However you qualify, there will be a Bowl Season edition, and the winner of that will be crowned the Reverse Sheep champion. All scores will be reset to 0 for the Bowl Season. Note that the top 10% is a hard cutoff, rounded to the nearest whole number. If 227 people play (23 playoff spots awarded) but 8 of the top 23 have already earned playoff berths, then only 15 new postseason berths would be earned that week. In case of a tie, all players tied for the last spot would get a postseason berth.
What do I win?
All prizes will be awarded in the form of an e-gift card, a donation to a charity, Venmo, whatever. Sports betting is legal where I live so I'm also down to wager your prize on a bowl game of your choice, getting you near-double if you win and nada if you lose (only one bet per person, I ain't your bookie). I'm flexible on getting you your prize how you want it.
Winner, bowl season/postseason edition - $25
Second place, bowl season/postseason edition - $15
Third place, bowl season/postseason edition - $10
Gold medal (1st place) in the regular season standings - $25
Silver medal (2nd place) in the regular season standings - $15
Bronze medal (3rd place) in the regular season standings - $10
Runner-Up (4th-10th place) in the regular season standings - $5
What if I want to change an answer after I've submitted the Google Form?
If for any reason you need to change an answer (injury, suspension, changed your mind), just PM me. As long as it's before kickoff of both your original pick and the one you are changing to, I'll note the change. Make sure you get a PM back from me to confirm, otherwise bug me again if it's been 36 or more hours.
Three reminders: Remember to give a player's name if the question asks for it. "Florida QB" does NOT count if you mean Kyle Trask. Also, there's no official deadline to submit answers, but if you pick a team/player whose game has already kicked off, your answer will be marked incorrect. And you are allowed to pick FBS teams and players who are facing FCS opponents.

To get into the top 10% last week, you needed a score of 148 or under. After ties and duplicates were accounted for, 25 new players qualified for the postseason, bringing us to 504 for the season.
Nobody finished in the top 10% for a third week in a row. Two players are tied for the longest streak with four weeks in a row. Seven players finished in the top 10% for a second week in a row and will earn the bonus if they can do it again this week:
There were 14 aces in week 10. Still only player has reached the three-ace threshold for a postseason bonus. I finally had a bit of a rough week for Beat The Host. My runningback pick was a late scratch and my receiver only managed seven catches. Ah well. 17 of you managed to beat my combined week 5+10 score to earn a bonus. And finally, your top 10 in the season-long standings:
Absolutely! While season-long standings are maintained, you can earn a berth to the bowl season edition by placing in the top 10% of any individual week, regardless of prior or future participation.

Remember, anyone who beats my combined week 5+10 score earns a postseason bonus. I finished 15th this week, so you'll have to bring it during week 10.

To get into the top 10% last week, you needed a score of 172 or under. After ties and duplicates were accounted for, 38 new players qualified for the postseason, bringing us to 423 for the season.
thelegendarybeng, Jakester5112, and Gatorhox17 all finished in the top 10% for a third week in a row and earned postseason bonuses. Seven players finished in the top 10% for a second week in a row and will earn the bonus if they can do it again this week:
There were 13 aces in week 7 including the second of the season for pittpost. Seven are tied with 2 aces apiece for the season lead. And finally, your top 10 in the season-long standings:
Absolutely! While season-long standings are maintained, you can earn a berth to the bowl season edition by placing in the top 10% of any individual week, regardless of prior or future participation. Whenever you miss a week, your score for the season-long standings will tally as if you answered each question incorrectly.
What is Reverse Sheep?
Reverse Sheep is a futures prediction game where the goal is to come up with answers that are both correct and unique. Each week features five questions about players, teams, point totals, and anything else I cook up. Think of Reverse Sheep like the opposite of Family Feud. In Family Feud, you would want to be a "sheep" and follow the crowd, identifying the most popular answer. Reverse Sheep is the opposite: You want to give the least popular answer that is still correct. If you provide a correct answer, you score points equal to how many people guessed your answer. If your answer is incorrect, your score is the sum of the number of people who guessed the most popular answer PLUS the total number of unique correct answers given. Lowest score wins.
I'm confused. How about an example?
Sure. Let's say one of the questions is: "Name a power-5 running back who will rush for 125+ yards this week." Imagine 40 people are playing, and their answers break down like this, with the number of yards that player actually winds up rushing for in [brackets].
Jonathan Taylor (13 respondents) [168 rushing yards]
D'Andre Swift (10) [105]
Jermar Jefferson (7) [133]
Cam Akers (3) [26]
Travis Etienne (2) [126]
Zack Moss (2) [190]
Eno Benjamin (1) [65]
Joshua Kelley (1) [49]
A.J. Dillon (1) [159]
Everyone who picked a running back that eclipsed 125 yards scores points equal to how many guessed their answer. So the thirteen Taylor pickers get 13 points, the seven Jefferson pickers get 7, the two Etienne pickers and the two Moss pickers get 2, and the sole person who picked A.J. Dillon gets 1 point, an ace. An ace is the best possible outcome as it means you were the only person to pick a particular correct answer. Everyone else who picked incorrectly is tagged with 18 points. That's the number of the most popular pick (13) plus the number of correct responses given (5). Again, you are trying for the lowest score possible.
Bonuses
Throughout the course of the season, you'll be able to earn bonuses for top performances. A bonus will allow you to give two responses to a question in the postseason, giving you two chances at a correct answer (if both answers are correct, the lower score will count). Here's how to earn one:
Placing in the top 3 (not 3%) of a week
Placing in the top 10 (not 10%) of the season-long standings
Placing in the top 10% for three or more consecutive weeks (streaks cannot overlap; so 1-3 and 4-6 would count as two streaks, but 1-3 and 2-4 would not)
Picking two or more Aces in a single week
Finish in the top 3 of Aces for the season (3+ aces required to qualify)
Longest streak of top 10% finishes
Participate every week (does not apply to week 0)
There is no limit to the number of bonuses that may be earned.
How do I win?
There are two ways in which you can qualify for the postseason, which will be the bowl season. You need to either finish in the top 10% of players for any one week, or make the top 10% of scores across the entire season. Anyone who misses a week will be charged the highest score of the week, as if they picked every question incorrectly. Even players who don't discover the game until later in the season can still play and qualify for the postseason without disrupting the season-long standings. However you qualify, there will be a Bowl Season edition, and the winner of that will be crowned the Reverse Sheep champion. All scores will be reset to 0 for the Bowl Season. Note that the top 10% is a hard cutoff, rounded to the nearest whole number. If 227 people play (23 playoff spots awarded) but 8 of the top 23 have already earned playoff berths, then only 15 new postseason berths would be earned that week. In case of a tie, all players tied for the last spot would get a postseason berth.
What do I win?
All prizes will be awarded in the form of an e-gift card, a donation to a charity, Venmo, whatever. Sports betting is legal where I live so I'm also down to wager your prize on a bowl game of your choice, getting you near-double if you win and nada if you lose (only one bet per person, I ain't your bookie). I'm flexible on getting you your prize how you want it.
Winner, bowl season/postseason edition - $25 plus maybe a t-shirt
Second place, bowl season/postseason edition - $15
Third place, bowl season/postseason edition - $10
Gold medal (1st place) in the regular season standings - $25
Silver medal (2nd place) in the regular season standings - $15
Bronze medal (3rd place) in the regular season standings - $10
Runner-Up (4th-10th place) in the regular season standings - $5
What if I want to change an answer after I've submitted the Google Form?
If for any reason you need to change an answer (injury, suspension, changed your mind), just PM me. As long as it's before kickoff of both your original pick and the one you are changing to, I'll note the change. Make sure you get a PM back from me to confirm, otherwise bug me again if it's been 36 or more hours.
If you're looking for my other game, Red Zone Royale, you can find that thread here. Three reminders: Remember to give a player's name if the question asks for it. "Florida QB" does NOT count if you mean Feleipe Franks. Also, there's no official deadline to submit answers, but if you pick a team/player whose game has already kicked off, your answer will be marked incorrect. And you are allowed to pick FBS teams and players who are facing FCS opponents.
Please double-check your score... you have a week to bring scoring errors to my attention by posting here or PMing me. You can find a list of all the responses under the "Week 3 Raw" tab. I've added in a Record Book tab with past winners and top performers. It will be updated... probably inconsistently.

If your answer is incorrect, your score is the sum of the number of people who guessed the most popular answer PLUS the total number of unique correct answers given. Lowest score wins.
I'm confused. How about an example?
Sure. Let's say one of the questions is: "Name a power-5 running back who will rush for 125+ yards this week." Imagine 40 people are playing, and their answers break down like this, with the number of yards that player actually winds up rushing for in [brackets].
Jonathan Taylor (13 respondents) [168 rushing yards]
D'Andre Swift (10) [105]
Jermar Jefferson (7) [133]
Cam Akers (3) [26]
Travis Etienne (2) [126]
Zack Moss (2) [190]
Eno Benjamin (1) [65]
Joshua Kelley (1) [49]
A.J. Dillon (1) [159]
Everyone who picked a running back that eclipsed 125 yards scores points equal to how many guessed their answer. So the thirteen Taylor pickers get 13 points, the seven Jefferson pickers get 7, the two Etienne pickers and the two Moss pickers get 2, and the sole person who picked A.J. Dillon gets 1 point, an ace. An ace is the best possible outcome as it means you were the only person to pick a particular correct answer. Everyone else who picked incorrectly is tagged with 18 points. That's the number of the most popular pick (13) plus the number of correct responses given (5). Again, you are trying for the lowest score possible.
Bonuses
Throughout the course of the season, you'll be able to earn bonuses for top performances. A bonus will allow you to give two responses to a question in the postseason, giving you two chances at a correct answer (if both answers are correct, the lower score will count). Here's how to earn one:
Placing in the top 3 (not 3%) of a week
Placing in the top 10 (not 10%) of the season-long standings
Placing in the top 10% for three or more consecutive weeks (streaks cannot overlap; so 1-3 and 4-6 would count as two streaks, but 1-3 and 2-4 would not)
Picking two or more Aces in a single week
Finish in the top 3 of Aces for the season (3+ aces required to qualify)
Longest streak of top 10% finishes
Participate every week (does not apply to week 0)
There is no limit to the number of bonuses that may be earned.
How do I win?
There are two ways in which you can qualify for the postseason, which will be the bowl season. You need to either finish in the top 10% of players for any one week, or make the top 10% of scores across the entire season. Anyone who misses a week will be charged the highest score of the week, as if they picked every question incorrectly. Even players who don't discover the game until later in the season can still play and qualify for the postseason without disrupting the season-long standings. However you qualify, there will be a Bowl Season edition, and the winner of that will be crowned the Reverse Sheep champion. All scores will be reset to 0 for the Bowl Season. Note that the top 10% is a hard cutoff, rounded to the nearest whole number. If 227 people play (23 playoff spots awarded) but 8 of the top 23 have already earned playoff berths, then only 15 new postseason berths would be earned that week. In case of a tie, all players tied for the last spot would get a postseason berth.
What do I win?
All prizes will be awarded in the form of an e-gift card, a donation to a charity, Venmo, whatever. Sports betting is legal where I live so I'm also down to wager your prize on a bowl game of your choice, getting you near-double if you win and nada if you lose (only one bet per person, I ain't your bookie). I'm flexible on getting you your prize how you want it.
Winner, bowl season/postseason edition - $25 plus maybe a t-shirt
Second place, bowl season/postseason edition - $15
Third place, bowl season/postseason edition - $10
Gold medal (1st place) in the regular season standings - $25
Silver medal (2nd place) in the regular season standings - $15
Bronze medal (3rd place) in the regular season standings - $10
Runner-Up (4th-10th place) in the regular season standings - $5
What if I want to change an answer after I've submitted the Google Form?
If for any reason you need to change an answer (injury, suspension, changed your mind), just PM me. As long as it's before kickoff of both your original pick and the one you are changing to, I'll note the change. Make sure you get a PM back from me to confirm, otherwise bug me again if it's been 36 or more hours.
If you're looking for my other game, Red Zone Royale, you can find that thread here. Three reminders: Remember to give a player's name if the question asks for it. "Florida QB" does NOT count if you mean Feleipe Franks. Also, there's no official deadline to submit answers, but if you pick a team/player whose game has already kicked off, your answer will be marked incorrect. And you are allowed to pick FBS teams and players who are facing FCS opponents.
Please double-check your score... you have a week to bring scoring errors to my attention by posting here or PMing me. You can find a list of all the responses under the "Week 1 Raw" tab. I've added in a Record Book tab with past winners and top performers. It will be updated... probably inconsistently. We are officially off and running! Week 1 set a record for participants with 723. Even so, 12 players managed to find an ace amidst the madness.

To get into the top 10% last week, you needed a score of 182 or under. The two players tied for the most lifetime appearances in the top 10% came out strong in 2019 and placed 1-2 in Week 0.
Absolutely! While season-long standings are maintained, you can earn a berth to the bowl season edition by placing in the top 10% of any individual week, regardless of prior or future participation. Whenever you miss a week, your score for the season-long standings will tally as if you answered each question incorrectly.
What is Reverse Sheep?
Reverse Sheep is a futures prediction game where the goal is to come up with answers that are both correct and unique. Each week features five questions about players, teams, point totals, and anything else I cook up. Think of Reverse Sheep like the opposite of Family Feud. In Family Feud, you would want to be a "sheep" and follow the crowd, identifying the most popular answer. Reverse Sheep is the opposite: You want to give the least popular answer that is still correct. If you provide a correct answer, you score points equal to how many people guessed your answer.

Unfortunately those scores won't carry over to the regular season, but they did earn themselves a postseason bonus. Week 0 scores also will count toward the streak bonus, so if anybody manages to finish in the top 10% in weeks 0, 1, and 2 they will earn a bonus. As you might expect, no aces were earned with only 2-4 games in the hopper. I expect that will change this week with a full slate. Happy ace-hunting!
I missed Week 0! Can I still play?
Absolutely! While season-long standings are maintained, you can earn a berth to the bowl season edition by placing in the top 10% of any individual week, regardless of prior or future participation. Whenever you miss a week, your score for the season-long standings will tally as if you answered each question incorrectly.

I’ve been into sports betting for a good few months now and am pleased to say that I’m making a few hundred dollars off it each month. I live in Florida and I have to say that sports betting is just something that I enjoy doing. I’m not addicted, I haven’t accrued any debts (I’m actually in profit) and it’s not affecting my life. The winnings pay for little things like a few odd jobs on the house that needed doing. Anyway, I used a few different sites when I first started out to test them all out and I’ve pretty much settled on MyBookie. From what I’ve seen on Reddit, there are a lot of people in the U.S. who aren’t sure what sports book to use, and there are also those who criticise MyBookie for being a low level site. I personally like it and decided to write this little MyBookie review to potentially help you out. :) Welcome bonus? You get. It’s a 50% match bonus and you can deposit as much as $1,000 and thus get $500 free. Minimum deposit is $100 if you want to grab it though. Rollover requirements increase the bigger your deposit is Spreads Very good for underdogs. Perhaps not as good as Bovada (which I also use) but still good. they are square too Sportsbook Initial limits are a bit low, they post lines a tad slowly too but all the major events are covered and if you’re just a casual bettor and a casual fan, you can’t really go wrong here. Live betting? Yes, it’s available. Juice is pretty good too and gets bigger for the smaller sports. Withdrawal fees Steep. Wire transfer is something like $35 (can’t say what it is exactly at time of writing as I haven’t done a wire transfer for a while but it WAS really high) Bitcoin is free (I use Bitcoin) and you can convert it to cash via a BitPay card. You barely lose anything on the market exchange Also worth mentioning that you’ll probably have to upload a valid ID photo before you can withdraw anything. Bit of a pain in the butt but you’ll get there :) Deposits Instant, no fees for cards and eWallets but a bit slower for Bitcoin Bitcoin accepted? Yes Is MyBookie Legal (Is MyBookie Legit?)? 100% in the U.S. Is MyBookie safe? Yes. Customer service Solid. A call back request is really cool!
Hello all you degenerate gamblers. The BC government's legal sports betting website, PlayNow, has NHL futures. Each team you can bet that they will make the playoffs, or miss the playoffs. I've summarized the odds in the below table. Note that these odds are decimal, or Canadian style, so the multiplier is the total return. 1.50 means that the bet returns 1.50 times bet, so that means it wins .50 times bet. If you're used to American style odds, 1.50 means -200 (bet $200 to win $100.) 2.05 means +105 (bet of $100 wins $105) Anyways... the table. Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just copying what the bookies say.
Are there Legal Offshore Sites for Florida Players. Florida does not have any set of laws that criminalize the use of offshore betting sites such as Bovada and MyBookie. However, this doesn’t mean to say that they are legal. As these sites aren’t licensed by a Florida regulator, they are not trusted sportsbooks. The push is on in Florida to legalize sports betting, and a pile of cash is at stake. A state legislator filed a bill that would authorize the Florida Lottery to offer sports betting through self Legal Florida Online Sports Betting. The following recommendations are comprised of only the top-rated Florida-friendly legal online sports betting sites. Each has been examined and reviewed by our team of analysts and have been found to exceed both licensing requirements and our stringent standards for inclusion in this guide. Florida residents can safely and legally join legal online sportsbooks operating overseas. They can place wagers on local teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins , and Miami Heat. Or the Tampa Bay Rays, Miami Marlins, Florida Panthers, FSU Seminoles, the Hurricanes, the Gators, and more. But the offshore online bookies we recommend are safe and legal for Florida bettors because they are licensed and regulated by regulatory bodies such as Kahnawake Gaming Commission, Alderney Gambling Control Commission, and others in foreign countries. Legal Florida Online Sports Betting. For the best in online sports betting, Florida players can find the most valuable odds on all their favorite local teams at legal offshore sportsbooks. Since there are so many professional and collegiate clubs in FL, these sites cater to Sunshine State bettors in a big way. If you came here asking “Is gambling legal in Florida?”, then let’s answer the question: online gambling is legal in Florida. Residents who bet online at a casino site, sportsbook, or play online poker in Florida are neither prosecuted or fined. While United States residents would be prosecuted for launching an online gambling site, they do not face punishment for gambling online. In other words, it is legal to bet with a bookie, but it is not legal for the bookie to bet with you. Sure, if you use an illegal local bookie to place bets in your town, you might get caught in a wider police dragnet, but online, you run no such risk. Nor do the bookies, because they aren’t based in America and are thus not beholden to US law. In Florida, gambling can take many forms, such as playing the night away at one of the casinos based on an Indian reservation, playing a quick round of poker or blackjack at home, or even placing some bucks on one of the local sports teams. Though, Florida does have a distinct way to regulate and identify which forms of gambling are acceptable and which ones are crossing the line. Florida: Sports betting is likely to be regulated in 2021. Georgia: Sports betting will be regulated after 2022, there are no current legal betting options. Hawaii: Sports betting is not legal, and will not be for the foreseeable future. Idaho: Sports betting is set to become regulated after 2022, wagering on horse racing is currently legal.
