It took 12 weeks, but finally a player in the 2025 gamblersWORLD Progressive Pick ‘Em contest picked all the NFL games on the board correctly and cashed the entire, season-long, progressive jackpot of $1200!
Congratulations to ‘billybike’!
Since it’s inception ‘billybike’ has played in the Progressive Pick ‘Em contest! He was able to correctly pick all 14 games in Week 12 of the NFL season to cash in on the largest prize ever paid out to one player by gamblersWORLD in 5 years of running contests, $1200!
Back in Week 7 ‘RomGav5150’ had a shot at cashing the Progressive pool, then $700, heading into Monday Night. But he went for an upset taking Tampa Bay on the road to beat the Detroit Lions as one of his two MNF picks.
Unfortunately, the Lions won and the prize pot continued to grow. This week was a different scenario where ‘billybike’ has the 49ers over the Carolina panthers, who were at least a touchdown underdog. San Francisco was up 10-3 at the half, and won the game handily, despite the low 20-9 score. An interception in the 4th quarter caused ‘billybike’ a bit of sweat, but a field goal missed badly at the 2 minute warning sealed the deal, giving the Niners and ‘billybike’ the win.
The gammblersWORLD Progressive Pick ‘Em is again the featured Free NFL contest on gamblersworld.com, with over 140 participants and thousands in cash and prizes up for grabs. Each week players pick all of the NFL games on the board straight up, with no point spread. Both a season-long contest and a weekly contest, the progressive aspect of the contest rewards players who can pick all of the games on the board correctly, straight-up, with no point spreads. The weekly prizes are also cash this year and 13 winners have already grabbed $25 VISA gift cards. In addition, each week the progressive pool builds by $100, so in Week 12, the prize to sweep the board was $1200.
The last time the gamblersWORLD Progressive Pick ‘Em went this deep into the season was the very first contest, back in 2020, when no one cashed and the weekly prize pot grew until Week 17! “We really thought it was going to be easier to pick all the game right,” said Jim Quinn, head man at gamblersWORLD. “But, we are happy to finally see a players cash in . . . and, its a giant prize!”.
Congratulations again to ‘billybike’ for a huge effort in Week 12 of the NFL season. The Progressive Pool resets again to $100 and in January we will crown the overall winner. Since the contest has started, one of the great features is a guaranteed pool for the cumulative winners. Even if a player wins in week 18 (or week 12!), this year’s contest features a guaranteed final prize pool of $1000, with $500 going to the winner. With just 6 weeks to go, ‘Spark24’, ‘spike manning’ and ‘vito’ are tied with 13,500 points. ‘romgav5150’ is in 4th place and ‘punter’ and ‘Caddy11″ are right behind. Overall only 600 points separates first from 19th place!
Good Luck in the final weeks to all of the players in the 2025 gamblersWORLD Progressive Pick ‘Em contest. There is still plenty of cash up for grabs, between the reset $100 Progressive Pool and the guaranteed final season pool, so players should continue to update picks, right until the final gun sounds on the regular NFL season!
