    SBR BCS Bowl Contest: Action Points Wagering!

    SBR's '08/'09 BCS Bowl Margin Of Victory Contest!
    -Bet Action points!

    Think you're a sharp?

    Or do you just love the action?

    This bowl contest has your name all over it
    !

    Contest Rules


    • Each contestant must make exactly 10 picks. Any less will be considered invalid, any more will be disregarded. So long as 10 bowl games are left, you can still enter!
    • Sides only.
    • Lines will be posted in this thread the morning before each Bowl Game by CrazyLou. I will also include a link in this first post to each days lines as we go. Picks will be made in this thread. Please make picks in Pick #1.), Pick #2.) format as we go.
    • Standard action points rules apply- with no cap. If a team is -3 and wins by 10, you net +7.00 units. Conversely if they lose by 6, you are then -9.00 units.
    • The 3 winners are the posters who have each made 10 picks and are up the most units.

    All decisions made by SBR are final. We reserve the right to make adjustments as deemed necessary.

    Prize-pool
    Must have Bet Jamaica account
    1st.) $150
    2nd.) $100
    3rd.) $75
    *All prizes require 3x rollover or play-through before making a withdrawal.

    Is it possible to have a minimum post count to keep the broke contest whores out?

    Is there a cap on the # of action points you can win or lose on a single game?

    Regardless, I'm in.

    It was considered (imposing a cap), but since this contest is your best 10 plays out of 30 something, we figured it'd be funner to have a no holds barred, pick the lines you feel are most truly off kind of extravaganza and be rewarded wholly for it.

    I don't come out of the woodwork often but I F.....ing love this idea....and the fact that it is with Betjam makes it 100x better. BJ is my goto account (well when i want to get paid that is).


    Edit: apologies if I have broken this rule "Please try to keep replies limited to picks entries to make browsing easier for the other contestants."
    I was giddy after reading the other posts.

    This is brilliant. All the contests should use action point grading, it's the ultimate capping test. Awesome.

    Can we make the 256 contest all action point grading?

    I know nothing about college football, but I'm in.

    Where's aces? I'll trail that guy.

    What happens with the units when you bet a dog? If a dog is +3 and they lose by 7 you are -4 units and if they win by 7 points you are up by +10 units?
