Trying survivor for the first time. Probably be an early exit.

 

[VegasRam]

I'm in - first timer as well.
However, (unlike @RamFan503), I'm gonna' kick ass.
(Cuz I'm old enough to know what I'm doing).

 

[Riverumbbq]

In again.
I'll kick ass right up until the moment I get my ass kicked, ... again.

some years you'd think it's pretty easy...everybody who plays the Jets for example...or the Jags is an auto 'W'.

Alas, Reality has a way of sticking it to you.

We have changed the wagering system a bit. The maximum you can win in a single outcome is set at 25k at this time with just 1 bet per outcome. As the season progresses and players bankrolls increase we will raise the stakes up to 50k per outcome.

Hey @CGI_Ram It shows what looks like 2 strikes under the player name, Can you explain how that works? Do they go away? Does one come off if you pick wrong? Confused.

The "two strikes" illustrates this is a double elimination league.

Those X's turn RED when you have a strike, and both turn RED when you are eliminated.
