Hello World!

Welcome to my site!

I am author Jeff Beckett and my site has lots of great things for you to experience and enjoy. Let’s get right to the point and tell you what is here:

  • About. A video and information about me. Needless to say, my life isn’t dull and boring.
  • Blog. Interesting experiences, thoughts, and reflections about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
  • Buy My Book. My murder-mystery novel – When DNA is Wrong. This is a fictional story about a man wrongly accused of murder because of the DNA testing being erroneous (I found a way that DNA evidence can be wrong). He must fight the toils and troubles and free himself and forgive the man who wrongly convicted him.

  • Family News. This is where I post information about my loving and amazing family and all the things we go through together.
  • Free Amazon Gift Cards. We have a weekly contest throughout the entire NFL regular and postseason where the person who correctly predicts the most game wins and gets the most points for that week will win a $25 Amazon gift card for that week.

We score and announce a winner every week, and that person will be issued an Amazon gift card worth $25 for just that week.

  • Happy News. Isn’t it depressing and rough that we tune into the news and only hear about the evil and corruption in the world? Don’t you wish you could hear things that are more uplifting and joyful?

Look no further! We are going to post news articles regularly about happy, joyful, and humorous events to lift your spirits and bring a smile to your face.

  • Serving Others. Sometimes we do charity or mission work. Other times we donate our time and money. Sometimes we just give people a leg up or a simple hand with something.

We will share our experiences here with what we’re up to. Enjoy!

Thank you for visiting. May you have a blessed day!

Amazon Gift Card Contest Rules

Thank you for viewing this page. I will try to make this as clear and straightforward as possible for you. Should you have any questions, contact me at jeffbeckett@jeffbeckett.com

You will be taken through a series of screens where you must predict which team will win for that particular week, or, you must predict which team doesn’t make the point spread for that game.

For instance, Let’s say the Kansas City Chiefs are playing the Philadelphia Eagles on a particular week. And, the Philadelphia Eagles are favored to win by 6 points.

If you picked the Philadelphia Eagles to win the game, but Philadelphia only wins by 4 points – that is an incorrect prediction because Philadelphia didn’t win by at least 6 points as required in the spread.

Point spreads are commonplace among sports betting, and needless to say, it makes the process more challenging for those who wish to play.

Loyalty Points: Each participant will be given 2 Loyalty Points for every week they submit a set of predictions about who will win a particular week. These points are awarded simply for participating and accumulate every week until the postseason ends, or until all points are used up.

When you reach the end of the predictions that you have made for the week, the software will ask how many Loyal Points you would like to use for that week. Put whatever number you have that you want to use, or put in a zero if you would like to save the Loyalty Points for later.

Depending on the strength of revenue that is coming in, we many increase gift card prizes in postseason games (as we have done before), but that is not guarenteed.

After you submit your predictions for the week, we will tally the results and publicly announce the winner on this website. A winner has 48 hours to claim their prize, and the prize will be forfeited if the prize isn’t claimed by then.

There are also a few other important things to remember with this contest:

  1. Each person is limited to one set of game predictions per week. Please respect this, because tallying the results is a lot of work as it is.
  2. It is your responsibility to make timely predictions and claim any winnings. We are not required to chase you down for such matters.
  3. If you have any questions, it is always more wise to ask rather than make assumptions or guesses.
  4. Because of the large volume of participants we typically have, we will only post the top three persons and their scores every week.
  5. If you win a particular week, you will need to notify us about how you want the gift card to be delivered. Electronic gift cards require us to get your email address, while plastic cards require us to get your mailing address.
  6. We have experienced a lot of scammers or cheaters and it is very frustrating. So, please be honest in dealing with us. We can tell if you’ve submitted your predictions after all the NFL games have been played and you know all the scores. We can tell if you’ve participated with 9 different accounts with 9 different predictions in a week because of cybersecurity software. We’ll know it’s a scam if you contact us with this creative story and claim you were promised a $100 gift card instead of a $25 gift card.
