The end of the Super Bowl marks not just the end of the football season, but the end of contest season at OSGA. We had two Super Bowl Contests that were finalized after the Big Game and the NFL playoff contest that was running exclusively for OSGA members. We are happy to announce a bunch of winners!

The Super Easy, Super Bowl Contest featured 7 prop bets as well as the game’s final score. Suprisingly, out of 212 contestants, 9 players got 6 of the seven prop bets correct! So we used the next available selection, the scores for both the Seahawks and the Broncos. This enabled us to find a winner. David P got 6 props correct and was off by a total of 27 points in the game score, making him the winner of the 2014 OSGA Super Easy, Super Bowl Contest. James T was only 1 point away from claiming the top prize, instead he is our runner-up.

The winner of the OSGA Super Easy, Super Bowl Contest is entitled to a $300 Free Play (with no deposit required) at Elite-rated WagerWeb.ag. James T will get a no-deposit $150 Free Play. Players should stay tuned and check their email boxes as WagerWeb is putting out an exclusive consolation offer to the other 210 players! As an added benefit to OSGA Members who support the efforts of the company, a $50 VISA gift card was being awarded to any OSGA Member who got 6 prop correct.  We are happy to see that one of our members was able to collect on this offer, as BobbyH, missed only the final prop.

OSGA Members get so much more, especially during Contest Season. This year saw our first ever Pro Football Playoff Pick ‘Em and our 2nd annual Super Bowl Squares Pool, both setup exclusively for members. The Squares contest filled up and with the strange scores of 8-0, 22-0 and 43-8, this was really anybody’s contest. JoryJR had an 8 and a zero to grab the first quarter prize of $50. Bill grabbed the halftime score and is awarded $100. Lakewood Nights grabbed the 3rd quarter for $50 and the final score of the game went to rudydog, who cashed for $100, all courtesy of OSGA.

The Pro Football Playoff Pick ‘Em was added this year, as OSGA strives to give its members MORE! Members had to pick every side and total for each of the games every day during the ENTIRE NFL Playoffs. The contest was an extension of our popular season long Progressive Pick ‘Em with a bit of a twist, each player had to pick a ‘Key Game’ each weekend. This ‘Key Pick’ really made thing interesting and kept the contest alive for many members right up until Super Bowl.

Hoopster57 took home the grand prize of $200 cash with 23 points, but in the spirit of the ‘Key Pick’ he won with less wins than several other players. In fact he ended up with more losses than wins, but had the most key wins and thus the most overall points. the runner-up, Dawk20, actually picked games at nearly a 57% winning percentage but had just 2 key wins. Still, Dawk20 gets $100 for his troubles. the last cash prize went to Wilson who had 21 points. 4th and 5th places belong to Bill and tombrady and they will be awarded a three month extension to the OSGA Memberships.

What a great season of contests! What a football season! What a terrible Super Bowl!

Please check back in March for our 12th annual March Madness contest. After giving away all of these prizes, we need a month off!
