Default Thanks for the great contest

Was pleasantly surprised to get an e-mail this morning saying I have won a prize in the contest ...I knew I went 3-1 but just figured enough people would go 4-0 or tie me and have a better post total. Nice to be in a contest where you don't need to be perfect b/c thousands of people have entered.

Called BetCris and after avoiding having the CS lady hang up on me thinking I'm somehow calling her a prick when I mentioned the contest (she was clueless about this contest), they are going to give me my $200 free play once I make the $100 deposit.

I just called BetCris and yeah, it was a little embarrassing when the lady ask what vas da name of de contest...

It is a $200 free play (for some winners) with a 5x rollover one your $100 deposit.

hooray for the prick!

Pags,

I was also expecting it to be a $200 cash bonus but I won't complain about the free play since it is a free contest and they are rewarding more than enough winners each week.

Though if some are getting $200 cash bonus and others $200 free plays, something needs to be clarified?

Anyone know the official prize to be awarded?

Cheers,

Paul

Hey guys ... these prizes are CASH BONUSES with a 5x rollover. If you were told differently, please let me know ASAP and I'll follow up.

Assuming only gets me in trouble everytime

Rollover applies to the prize only ... not the deposit.

Thanks to everyone responsible for putting on this great contest!
But how about a special prize for anyone scoring 4 points? You gotta admit, that's pretty tough to do!
Oklahoma -17 kept me from going 4-0. Fortunately, I was able to play them at -16 1/2. Went 5-0 Sat. Played all 5 straight plus a 5-team parlay and a 5-team teaser. PLUS I'll get a $200free play thanks to The Prick!
I know it's early, but it's great to start out the season with a day like this!

It's actually a $200 cash bonus -- not a free play.

Just received my contest money (I was very pleasantly surprised about the quick turn around)... it was great contest last year, and it, along with forum, just seem to get better and better... Thanks for the hard guy and as long as the prick holds to tradition (i.e. piss poor picking) I'll continue to be happy on this end on this end
