    Lightbulb Contest for best pick writeup??

    We are considering starting a new feature on SBRforum.com called The SBR Poster's Play. The best/most convincing argument for their pick writeup gets the homepage spot and a prize.

    This sounds excellent. Count me in to atleast put in an effort, though I'm sure many others will put in much more cogent, stat-proofed write-ups.

    I'm not in. But I recommend 20Four7, bettilimbroke999 and BeatTheJerk as official bashers of posters write ups. I'm throwing in $20 for the prize winners.

    I'd be happy with a panel of the admins/mods deciding. I think between Bill, Dan, and Ganch if he didnt want to participate that would be a good enough group.

    does the play have to win to be eligible for the prize?

    also is the prize something out of a cereal or crackerjack box?

    No, it will be for best information and content. Points for stats, trends, situational capping, line moves, value and anything else related to your pick.

    A book will give the winner cash in the account.

    I'm gonna win this. My first day I joined here Willie Bee had my article/pic posted on the front page, unfortunately they took it own cause I am not a paid tout. Prolly SBR John's doing.

    I think it's a terrific idea to try to recognize and reward acts of quality handicapping without tying them to results. You're going to draw some content from your readers that goes above and beyond tout speak.

    Thanks dwaechte but I'm not eligible because I am already on front page.

    MO, you don't need any more publicity!

    This could provide an opportunity to improve my writing skills. Place thezbar on the "in" list.

    I think this sounds like a great idea and there are a lot of guys here that have excellent writeups. I would give it a shot.
