    Default Points contests

    Can we have points contests that don't require an account from JustBet or Looselines or assorted other books that I have no interest in signing up with?

    I can sign up with false information, but why bother?

    Sportsbooks love calling and sending mail to me that I don't want.

    or how about points contests for forum veterans?

    You would have to have been here at least 6 months and have at least 500 posts to join. That would eliminate a lot of the ghosts.

    It doesn't bother me since I have every account that is used here. It would be nice to be able to just join though with your forum name.

    exactly.

    now SBR is forcing me to create fake accounts that I'll never use to join these contests.

    These contests are ridiculous. I often do pretty well, but get nothing for my efforts because there are like 300 posters with less than 100 posts and less than 2 months here joining. Probably a few of them are ghosts, too.

    Why is my thread being ignored?

    I love your idea of contests for those with 6+ months here and 500+ posts.

    There are plenty of contests that LT does that's just for points, no book involved. Cross-sport, weekly NFL, pick 15 bowl. I have cashed over 300 points since i've been here in the nfl weekly but bombed this week with fukin Jax+10

    Those are not SBR-sponsored contests, though.

    Problem is SBR doesn't sponsor them - The sportsbooks do. Hence the reason you need to sign up with a book.

    It's makes the forum owners a few bucks, the sportsbooks a few customers, and they share the profits with the community in terms of points/prizes.

    I can handle a few spam messages for the entertainment.

    That being said. I would like to see a giant jackpot of all the money given back at the casino in one big contest.

    The sportsbook sponsor the points contests too?

    I guess, but it would make sense for them to offer prizes at their books if they're sponsoring a contest.

    yisman i like the post and time limit on contests... this would eliminate double entries, i mean the bookies don't want double entries because they don't want someone creating two accounts with them anyway.

    No clue who this is. Probably someone's ghost.

    Not sure what I did to offend it.
