Protect Your Unit Week 5 Picks Thread: Bank Error In Your Favor

(DISCLAIMER: This game is for entertainment purposes only. No actual money is being wagered.)

First news item today: I discovered that some players’ grand totals were incorrect, because their futures bets were being deducted twice. If your grand total seemed a little low, this was the reason. I have since corrected this.

I had previously reported that BullsOnParade96 had lost his initial 1000-unit stake, and he needed to place a Sudden Death bet this week. Because of this error, he actually has 111.91 left in his bankroll, and may wager normally this week.

Second major news item, also having to do with futures bets: if the USF-East Carolina game is played in Boca Raton this weekend, then all over-under win bets on USF will be voided and the amount returned to the bettor. This is because of rule 14.8.5.1, which says that no changes in schedule or opponents can occur:

14.8.5.1. A team must play its complete, as-scheduled season for a Win Total bet to have any effect. If any game is unplayed, incomplete, or if an opponent or location changes, the bet is voided and the player neither wins or loses. This includes bets that have already clinched, such already a team already having met its win total. Postponement of a game to a later date without changing the opponent or location does not void a bet.

This rule was also triggered last year, when one player bet on Oklahoma's win-loss total, but their game against Tulane was moved.

Five players bet on USF’s win total: BullsOnParade96 (250), anthonyvito (200), LrdNorman (40), McIntyre2K7 (30), and JulmisteForHeisman (24). If this weekend's game is played in Boca Raton as announced, then these bets will be voided and the money will be returned to your bankroll next week. You will not win or lose the bet. Bets on USF to win a conference championship are not affected.

Here are all selections as of about 8:30 AM Friday:
