The Off Shore Gaming Association (OSGA) is pleased to announce the winner of their Annual Progressive Pick ‘Em Contest<\/a>. ‘snurker’ beat out over 100 contestants to win the grand prize of  $850.<\/p>\n

The OSGA sponsors several football contests that run for the full football season. This year OSGA\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s popular Progressive Pick \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcEm<\/a> saw no one able collect the weekly ‘Progressive’ prize by picking all games on the board correctly. This year only three weeks saw players with only one loss, but that loss meant the $100 Progressive jackpot built for another week and a correct card for this Sunday’s games would have paid $1700. ‘JohnnyB’ was just one game away in the final week of the season and lost out on the $1700 Prize with his selection of Denver. Instead, ‘snurker’ collected 50% of the pool for going 178-78 over 17 weeks. ‘PD’ and ‘rick’ split the next prizes as they tied for second place and collected $197.50 each. ‘wolverine’ came in fourth collecting $170 and ‘swampboy’,  who won the 2010 Progressive contest, finished in 5th this year with a prize of $85. <\/p>\n

The 2011 OSGA Progressive Pick ‘Em was two contests in one! Each week there was also a prize winner of a $100 free betting account at OSGA Elite-rated BetOnline.com<\/a>. Every week the player with the most wins for that week was given a $100 Free Play. <\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153This year the OSGA ran a great contest and we always support thier efforts in the gaming community. We handed out Free Accounts to over a dozen new players and with 17 different winners throughout the season, the OSGA Pick ‘Em was terrific for everyone involved.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said a BetOnline<\/a> spokesperson.<\/p>\n

While the Progressive Pick ‘Em is a contest that features a large cash prize, it also is a tough grind where just one bad week can knock a player from the top of the standings. In fact, no single player finished atop the standings more than one week in the contest and the overall winner never captured the single week prize.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153This contest again went down to the very last week as it was a hot year for several players ,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d stated Jim Quinn from OSGA. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Last years’ winner would not have even placed in the Top 10 this year,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d added Quinn. <\/p>\n

This has been another great year for the OSGA Progressive Pick ‘Em. OSGA is looking forward to crowning a winner in their their 9th Annual Bowl Challenge<\/a> next week and their annual NCAA Tourney Contest in March.<\/p>\n
