Contest will run all year (2012) for all possible sports and options (ML, totals, sides). 1000 point buy in. If you think you are a Boss at making picks come join. Min 2000 picks Max 4000 picks. This should at least get rid of a lot of short term luck.
1-5 bet range (5 5x bets for the year...that is the max SBR provides).

Anyone interested?
If there are at least 4 others I will start the contest; I have it all set up.

[eidolon]

Maybe SBR will do a similar contest

Why not drop the points to 500 or 250 and you will get more entries

[minet123]

As the poster who has run the "high roller" football contest the past 2 season you will be hard pressed to have a contest with a 1000 point buy in
after much debate 2 years ago 125 was what peaked interest
shoot for a 250 point buy in but to be fair make a February 1st cut off for entrants,that way it keeps the spirit of capping all year in all sports

[ronzer]

im interested

[ronzer]

just a few suggestions...

weekly payouts, and 2000 plays sounds like a lot... Shouldn't be forced to make plays

agree

[eidolon]

I wanted a high count of plays, because people can play any ML. Ppl can have a lot of short term luck, but if they continue to bet -2100 on all their bets, they have a very slim chance of ever winning in the long run.

Also I wanted to give month payouts, and then a larger payout for the end of the year, but the setting won't allow it (at least to my knowledge).

Maybe we can get SBR_Lou to make the contest.

[ballahollic2]

I would be interested but that is SOOOOO many picks to make for the year

[eidolon]

How about 1000 picks? we are talking about all year and every sport.

[noober]

i would join if tennis was in

[LT Profits]

I don't think 2000 plays is a lot, that comes out to like 6 plays a day. Also, unlimited money lines are fine of you make the units RISK instead of BASE

[Bcatswin]

How are people that are not Pro's going to play, will not be able to transfer points.

[aggieshawn]

2000 plays, is too many. 365 should be the amount.

[LT Profits]

I say no more than 500 and no ML over -500... using only one book at the time of the post....

Can't put a ceiling on ML amounts, he is running this (if it happens) through SBR Contests. So either set contest up as RISK or take out MLs for hoops/foots.

[LT Profits]

How are people that are not Pro's going to play, will not be able to transfer points.

I think he intends on running it through SBR Contests, so anyone can play regardless of the amount.

[Mr KLC]

Even if I had 1000 points, it would be too rich for my blood.

[LT Profits]

I would take out the 5x Best Bets since plays are already ranged 1-5. That means Best Bets would be 25 units, not good.

[Duff85]

Would def be interested in this - although going to need to hit a few plays in the SBR book to get involved. 4000 cap on plays is fine imo. Min 1000 at least, would prefer 2000.

[eidolon]

Maybe two different contests: both for 100 points.
1) monthly with min 50 per month (50min,150max)
2) all year, 1500min, 3000max

I will probably join both, and I assume others will to(?)

[ballahollic2]

It is just too many picks for me. I am more of a quality picker rather then a quantity picker. I know it stretches through all sports but I will have to force picks to accumulate that many because i don't bet ML's that will add picks for people

[ebbearsfb1]

2000 picks really isn't that much... there is days in college hoops where on a Saturday you can have 10 picks or up...

[astro61200]

I'll keep an eye out to see what the final contest looks like.. that should be enough time to turn my low amount of points in to 1000 in the sportsbook

[Fed_42420]

I think 2000 plays is way way too many. 6 plays a day all year long, that's insane. Even the worst degenerate gambler can't bet that many games.

sure he can. on average? if your into everything like degenerate gamblers are??? on a given day AT THE LEAST, you'll have MLB through july and august, and we all know there are usually atleast 3-4 games a day. most of the year you'll have mlb+nhl+nba+ncaab OR +nfl+ncaaf. Saturday and sundays you'll have 10+plays in EACH SPORT, and you can rake up 50 plays a day. 2000 isn't too much, its not EASY, but i think that's what the original guy wanted

[astro61200]

If one could bet halves in football and basketball I'd be all for the 2000+ plays.. but seems high without.

[eidolon]

People still interested?
I will post the link later tonight or tomorrow
