The Off Shore Gaming Association (OSGA) is pleased to announce the winners of our Annual Progressive Pick \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcEm Contest and Last Man Standing Contest.\u00c2\u00a0 The 2012 OSGA Progressive Pick \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcEm<\/strong><\/a> winner is \u00e2\u20ac\u02dc\u00e2\u20ac\u2122sirduke542\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 who beat out over 190 contestants to win the grand prize of $900 in betting money at industry-giant Bookmaker<\/a>. The 2012 OSGA Last Man Standing Contest<\/strong><\/a> went for 15 weeks until \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcpiper3545\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 was the only player left standing and he collected $1000 betting account at Elite-rated Ucabet<\/a>.<\/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 saw the Progressive part of the contest hit for the first time ever. In fact, it was hit two times. The last time a player hit the pool and picked every game on the board correctly was in week 11. A correct card for this past weekend\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s games would have paid $1800 in betting money at Bookmaker<\/a>. But 14 wins was the most that any player could muster, thus the Progressive prize was split amongst the top finalists. \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcsirduke542 collected 50% of the pool for going 174-81 over 17 weeks. \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcPD\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcpiper3545\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 split the next prizes as they tied for second place and collected $315 each. PD also finished as a runner up in last year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s contest! \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcplayer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 came in fourth collecting $180 and \u00e2\u20ac\u02dctouchdowntexans\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 finished in 5th this year with a prize of $90.<\/p>\n

The OSGA Progressive Pick \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcEm was two contests in one! Each week there was also a prize winner of a $500 free betting account at Bookmaker<\/a> for the player with the most wins straight-up for that week. While the Progressive Pick \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcEm is a contest that features a large progressive pool ($5100), it also is a tough grind where just one bad week can knock a player out of the money. In fact, sirduke542 never captured any single week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s prize, yet finished atop the standings to become the overall winner.<\/p>\n

The 2012 OSGA Last Man Standing contest was also a huge success with nearly 150 players participating. This was the third time OSGA offered the Last Man Standing Contest, and this year the contest went deeper into the season than ever before. Each week players had to pick just one single winner \u00e2\u20ac\u201c again, straight up. But, throughout the course of the entire NFL season, no team could be selected twice. This \u00e2\u20ac\u0153one-and-done\u00e2\u20ac\u009d event was co-sponsored by Ucabet<\/a> who offered up huge Free betting accounts for the top four finishers including a $1000 free gambling account for the Last Man Standing. In all, Ucabet offered up a $2500 prize pool.<\/p>\n

Last year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s contest finished up early with 5 players all going out in week 10 of the NFL season. This year the contest lasted with several players still alive in December. The Last Man standing was \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcpiper3545\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 who won a FREE $1000 betting account at Elite-rated Ucabet with Miami over Jacksonville in week 15. \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcbulubulu\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 came in second place losing with Giants as they slid downhill, yet still got a $750 betting account.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcddsmj\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and\u00c2\u00a0 \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcDoc728\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 both went out in week 13 and thus split the remaining prizes, each get a $375 betting account at Elite-rated Ucabet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As the contest wore on players busted out in droves, with more than half of the players eligible for the consolation prize \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a $25 Free Play at\u00c2\u00a0Ucabet \u00e2\u20ac\u201c for players who were out in the first four weeks.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00e2\u20ac\u0153This year we were very happy to see the OSGA Last Man Standing Contest get so deep into the season. We handed out many free accounts and the Last Man Standing was great for us and the players.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said a Ucabet<\/a> spokesperson.<\/p>\n

This has been another great year for the OSGA Progressive Pick \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcEm and Last Man Standing Contests. OSGA is looking forward to crowning a winner in the 10th Annual Bowl Challenge<\/a> next week and their annual NCAA Tourney Contest in March.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Our contests were both bigger and better than ever in 2012 ,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d stated Jim Quinn from OSGA. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We are fortunate to be able to work with some great sportsbooks to be able to offer\u00c2\u00a0 these contests for our fans, visitors and members and hope to do it for years to come,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d added Quinn.<\/p>\n
