Gulfstream's Pigskin Payoff: $1 million if you pick well


The Gulfstream Park Racing and Casino has a $1 million football prediction promotion, called Pigskin Payoff:

9 a.m. Tuesday is the first day for entries, because the NFL season starts next weekend. Only Sunday and Monday games are included in the promotion.

Each week players are invited to swipe their players card at one of the casino's two kiosks, and make their picks on the touch-screen. Players choose their winning teams and enter a total score for the Monday Night Game to be used as a tie-breaker in the event of a tie.

Entries are accepted Tuesday through 11 a.m. Sunday. Players may play once per day, up to six entries per week. Each entry receives a receipt that is date and time stamped.

Weekly winners will be announced by 3 p.m. Tuesday and will be posted at both Players Clubs.

1st Place: Choice of $100 Cash or NFL Memoribilia
2nd Place: Choice of $ 75 Cash or NFL Memoribilia
3rd Place: Choice of $ 75 Cash or NFL Memoribilia
4th & 5th Place: $75 Free Play
6th-10th Place: $50 Free Play

The picks are straight-up, not against the spread. If players can correctly predict 201 winners or more out about 246 games (about 80 percent) of the NFL regular season Sunday and Monday games through Jan. 3, they will win $1 million. If there is more than one winner the $1,000,000 prize will be split equally amongst all winners.

The Isle has a similar promotion, which I'm linking to here.

About the author
Maybe you've made the right play, maybe you haven't. Your heart speeds up, your stomach rumbles.

That's why it's called gambling.

ACTION is a view of the numbers, the psychology and the flavor of gambling here in South Florida, through our lens.

We do have one sure bet. There's something here for you.

NICK SORTAL began playing 3-card "gut" and "Indian poker" on high school band trips, moved on to "night baseball" and "pass the trash" during a Dr. Pepper-infused midnight game in the 1980s at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and now play in a regular neighborhood Hold 'Em game in Plantation. I have been given the assignment of writing about the gambling life in South Florida casinos for the Sun-Sentinel...which means sitting around watching poker on TV now counts as research.
