November 30, 2021 at 11:55 PM EST
We are excited to launch our Become A Capper Contest for 2021 where at least 2 people will join our PickDawgz and Sports Chat Place teams and become a handicapper.
Before I get started with the rules, please remember that becoming a handicapper is a commitment, and at the end of the day a job. While I hope this is a job you love and look forward to doing every day, it is a job that is done every day, we do not get days off.
The Contest this year will run from December 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021. Good Luck to all who enter. Here are the rules:
- 1) All entries will be on the PickDawgz Twitter and Instragram channels, there will be no exceptions. If you don’t have a Twitter or Instagram account and you do not wish to start one, I am sorry you will not be eligible for this year’s contest.
- 2) Everyone can enter once on each platform, people found to have multiple entries on either will be disqualified.
- 3) By November 20, 2021 A post will be created on Twitter and Instragram under the PickDawgz accounts (@PickDawgz) and if you wish to enter, reply “I’m In”.

The Video will be the contestants real voice and face speaking into the camera. Video is a big part of what we do and we want to make sure we are working with real people. These do not have to be professional productions, a phone or computer camera will be fine.
