Sharps Cover: 2022 Season Recap
Are you ready for some (more) football??
Well Sharps, it was a hell of a season.
Congrats to Zach Nelson who held on this week to secure the 2022 Sharps Cover Season Championship. He takes home the grand prize of $1500.
Congrats as well to AFed4Philly for making the ballsy decision to back the Lions in Lambeau and separate himself from nteplow by a single point to secure the second place spot. He takes home $400.
Congrats to bbairdsquared who finished the season with a perfect week and was just 5 points off from the MNF O/U. He took home the usual weekly $100 payout.
And finally, congrats to Azor Ahai. Despite being shut out in 2 weeks, and finishing 67 points off the finisher, he was diligent enough to put his picks in every week and thus, has earned the coveted Costanza Award— a cool $200.
So the 2022 Sharps Cover season comes to a close. Thank you for your participation, your “donation” and your overall support for the sport we love.
Thirsty for more?
If you wanna keep the party going, then register for the Sharps Cover Postseason! That’s right, the slate is wiped clean— and so are your chances of winning.
Venmo your $40 entry fee to @sharps-cover and register here (before Saturday @ 4:30pm ET).
How does it work?
Each member ranks all 14 NFL playoff teams competing in the playoffs from strongest (14 points) to weakest (1 point). Members are awarded the number of points assigned to each team when that team wins, plus a multiplier for each round as specified below:
Wild Card: 2
Divisional: 3
Conference: 5
Super Bowl: 8
All picks must be in before the first playoff game starts (Saturday at 4:30pm ET) and picks can not be changed once the playoffs start. So it’s a “set it and forget it” kinda thing.
In addition, all members will continue to receive the weekly email recaps, and isn’t that worth something? (Don’t answer that.)
We need a minimum of 10 participants, so forward this email to any fellow degenerates who may be interested (and knock off the usual 10% for your finder’s fee).
Not your cup of tea?
Maybe after this season you decided you don’t like gambling on football, but you want to gamble on something. For you, may we offer the first unofficial affiliate program of Sharps Cover! That’s right, we are proud to say that one of our members has started a PGA Survivor Pool!
Pretty simple rules, pick one golfer to make the cut each week, last team standing takes the pot.
Anyone interested in playing can Venmo their $25 entry fee to @eddydelsignore (max 3 entries). The pool hosts have also started a podcast on golf gambling, which you can subscribe to here.
So there you have it, the end of one gambling season begins two more.
Whether it happens this week, next season, or many seasons after that, we look forward to gambling with you again. And whenever you bet, may your bets always be sharp.
