It’s almost football time. Beer, wings, tail-gating and of course sports betting are all a part of the good times. There are so many ways to bet on football these days that it would be hard to list them all in this article. One fun and unique way to bet the NFL season is the “survivor” contest. This is when you simply pick one teams to win (straight up) each week. You can never use the same team twice and if you lose once you are out.
One of the longest standing and most profitable online survivor contests is hosted by BetOnline.ag – This year’s survivor contest has $300,000 of guarantee prize money. If the contest takes in more money than anticipated then that prize number increases.

History of the NFL Survivor Contest
I am not sure the exact year that these contests first became available online but I can remember them for at least 20+ years. ChatGPT informed me that the first one was held in the year 2000 but I will take that answer with a grain of salt. The AI generator has been know to spit out erroneous information hat people publishes as fact in the past. The resulting egg on their face didn’t taste good.
Just like with fantasy football, survivor competitions were played amongst fans and friends in an analog fashion before they became available online.
