OSGA sponsors several football contests that run for the full football season and the Progressive Pick \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcEm for Pro Football is now in its 9th year. Congratulations go out to  \u00e2\u20ac\u02dc<strong>100towin<\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, who beat out over 150 other contestants to win the huge cash grand prize of $850. <\/p>\n<p>The OSGA Pro Football Progressive Pick \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcEm was two contests in one! Each week there was also a prize winner of a free play at <strong>OSGA Elite-rated <a href=\"http:\/\/www.osga.com\/osgabooks\/sportsbetting.html\" target=\"_blank\">SportsBetting.ag<\/a><\/strong>. Every week the player with the most wins for that week was given a $200 Free Play.

If no player hits all the games, the weekly $100 cash prize rolls over to the next week. In the last three years, the Progressive Jackpot has been hit multiple times (once for $1200). But this year, no one was able to pick every game on the board correctly. This anomaly produced the full season prize pool at its maximum of $1700.<\/p>\n<p>With 168 wins \u00e2\u20ac\u02dc<strong>100towin<\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 beat out the field by just one game to cash in on 50% of the pool, $850 cash! \u00e2\u20ac\u02dc<strong>Ultra14<\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 came in 2nd place with 167 wins. The leader board was extremely close throughout the final weeks and the 17 week long contest came down to the final games. \u00e2\u20ac\u02dc100towin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcUltra14\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 were tied going into the last week and the overall winner picked 10 games correctly in a final weekend full of upsets. \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcUltra14\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 had 9 wins and thus wound up in 2nd place, collecting a cool $425 for his efforts. <\/p>\n<p>Third place went to \u00e2\u20ac\u02dc<strong>apo<\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 who had 163 points and will receive a check for 10% of the prize pool, $170. 4th place ended up in a tie and so according to the rules, the players will split the combined 4th and 5th place prizes (total 15% of the prize pool).  After over 250 games \u00e2\u20ac\u02dc<strong>zubzub<\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and &#8216;<strong>Jaws37<\/strong>&#8216;, both veterans of OSGA contests, had 162 points. Though this would have been good enough in past years to win the Grand Prize, these two players split $255, each getting $127.50.<\/p>\n<p>In all 18 players hit games at a clip of 60% or better with nearly two dozen different players cashing in on prizes throughout the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We are fortunate to be able to work with some <a href=\"top-online-sportsbooks.html\" target=\"_blank\">top online sportsbooks<\/a> to be able to offer these contests and in a tough year filled with crazy upsets, it reverted to when we first started the contest with no one hitting the progressive prize, yielding a hug prize pool at the end,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d stated Jim Quinn from OSGA. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Every year this contest intrigues me and I guess that is why it is so popular,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d added Quinn.<\/p>\n<p>This has been another great year for the OSGA Progressive Pick \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcEm.
