    Default ~Amblai01 vs Bbyhill (Round 1)~

    • the contest will run month to month, with round 1 being from Monday 5/11 until Thur 6/11. 6/12 will be left open for tiebreaker games and setting up the next round - with the next round starting 6/13.
    • ****Each player will have a starting bankroll of 60 units, and you must make a minimum of 50 plays for the round (no max). however, each day you can only play 15% of your starting bankroll for the day. ie, if you have 30 units going into a day, you may only wager 5 units (to win) for that day which can be broken up however you choose. The math comes out to 4.5 units (.15 x 30) but we will round up for any fraction > .50, and round down to the nearest unit for anything .49 or below. So if you are allowed 7.20 units coming into the day, you can play to win 7 units. 7.70 units – play to win 8 units. This will eliminate chasing, and will hopefully help us all use better proper money management techniques for our real world wagers.
    • ****Since we have no official score keeper, it is up to you to keep track of your record AND your opponents. This will be our only obstacle for having a clean tourney, so pay attention to the following rules. Each day, both of the participants should be noting the results of the prior day, along with the net total bankroll (do it for your opponent as well so you have an extra pair of eyes). If its noticed that the results/lines etc from past days are incorrect, they can obviously should corrected at any time. However that will not have an affect on any units bet on games after that (the 15% daily limit). If the results from the prior day are posted correctly, however a player goes over the 15% limit for the day, the opponent (or any other sbr member) has until the next days first pitch to report the error. If reported in time, ALL BETS made that day are cancelled for the person who broke the 15% rule.
    • all lines will be the opening consensus from sbr (far left), and plays must be posted 5 minutes before the start time of the first day game/night game (anything before 6:00 eastern is considered a day game) ie, if the first game is at 1:05 eastern, the plays for all afternoon games must be posted by NO LATER then 1pm. Night games will be considered anything that starts at 6pm eastern and forward. So for a normal night with 7:05 first pitch, those plays for all night game (including west coast) must be in by 7:00. a lot can happen in the first few at bats, so make sure these picks are in on time.
    • all bets must be for the full game and can consist of moneyline, runlines or totals. No reverse run lines.
    • we will be betting the team, not the pitcher - so a late scratch of the pitcher stands unless you cancel the bet prior to first pitch (here you can cancel a west coast game if your pitcher is scratched)
    • ML = moneyline - RL = run line. When betting a total, make sure you assign the proper money line per SBR. On the totals, over/under section – you will see a total mentioned with a 2 moneylines next to it. The top moneyline is if you take the over, the bottom is if you take the under.
    • If there happens to be a tie after 6/11 has concluded. Each player will have to make 5 picks on 6/12, all for 1 unit each. If that doesn’t end the tie, then the same thing the next day, and so on.
    • Once down to 0 units, you are out of the match.
    ie of a daily record update:

    Monday 5/11: +5 units

    Net: +65 units

    ie of selections made:

    Monday 5/11:

    mets -1.5/+110 (2 units)
    over redsox 10/-120 (5 units)

    Default

    So based on 30 days per round, plus one tiebreak day, the start/end dates for the rounds are:

    May 11 - June 9, June 10 tiebreaker
    June 11 - July 10, July 11 tiebreaker
    July 12 - August 10, August 11 tiebreaker
    August 12 - September 10, September 11 tiebreaker

  3. #3

    Do we have to use all total we are allowed everyday or can we use less?

  7. #7

    Default

    of course you can use the same picks as your opponent

    In response to a private message with a question about what units represent,

    One unit bet on a -110 fave would mean betting 1.1 units to win 1 unit. Alternately, a 1 unit bet on a +120 dog means betting one unit to win 1.2 units. Sorry if that wasn't clarified in the main thread.

    Additionally, this competition is baseball only. All lines are taken as the opening lines on SBR, and the only valid plays are ML, RL, and Totals. No RRLs or parlays allowed.

    Feel free to send any additional questions to me or Dexter

    additionally, the 15% rule pertains to just your units bet for that day - meaning its not based on *potential* returns (from underdogs) or *potential* losses from favorites.

    ie....you have 9 units to bet today.

    4x mets -200
    2x giants -150
    3x cards +180

    *note how im not factoring the line into my 9 units allowed for the day. hope thats clear.

    Default

    Error in Tuesdays Line on SBR - use the following line for the dbacks/reds game on Tuesday:

    Dbacks -210
    Reds +180

    Dbacks -1.5/+100
    Reds +1.5/-120

    over 8.5/+100
    under 8.5/-120

    Do not know the results because I played some other than baseball?Dont understand about not factoring the line in your units?

    todays plays
    903 Los over 10 +100 *1
    905 Atl over 7 -115 *1.15
    902 Pit +1.5 -1.4 *2.8

    you're confusing what im saying.

    heres an example of how you should post your plays:

    over dodgers 10/+100 (1 unit)
    over braves 7/-115 (1 unit)
    pirates +1.5/-140 (2 units)

    got it?

    remember, todays total units can not exceed 15% of your bankroll after the conclusion of yesterdays results

    so coming into today you are +57 units (-3 yesterday)

    15% of 57 = 8.55....so rounding up, you're allowed to wager up to 9 units today. so this is what i mean by dont worry about the line when factoring the units you're allowed to bet.

    the moneylines may result in you losing more then 9 today , but thats ok.
