Its worth the 120 bucks a year though to participate in it. We pay 10 bucks a week for the first 12 weeks of the 17 weeks. 95 guys or gals in it this year. Weekly prizes of 100 bucks for most winners and 13 bucks for low. Year end prizes for top ten, lowest guy, longest straight, most common numbers, etc.
Also get two parties at the place with open bar and free food for 3 hours, one of them on Super Bowl Day.
The way I see it for 120 bucks you get to root for and follow every football game played from seasons beginning to end, and two pretty nice parties. Even though I never get back a quarter of the 120 I spend, its worth it.
Most the people I know have the same luck with the ponies, they don't spend a lot - so what they win gets them even. I've always said; it's not hard to pick winners & the other horses you use - punching the right winning ticket with those you chose is!
