Listen up, basketball experts. Starting Tuesday (Jan 2) we will commence with a Hoops Parlay Contest with the monthly grand prize a 22” widescreen LCD monitor. The rules are simple:

1. Check in the NBA BASKETBALL HANDICAPPING FORUM each day for the daily thread to be posted by LT Profits. Lines will be posted by 11:00 a.m. (ET) each day. Plays may be posted before that, but the official posted lines will be used for grading.

2. Posted spreads and totals are the only eligible plays for grading. Both NBA and NCAA games included.

3. Two-game parlay picks, laying 10 to win 26.

4. Here’s the catch: Your play must include a write-up, doesn’t have to be long, just a sentence or two about why you’re making your play. Here’s a THREAD from last year’s contest to be used for an example.

5. And here’s the fine print:

• One entry per household and IP address.
  
• Must use lines posted in daily thread by LT Profits
  
• Maximum one parlay pick per day, minimum 15 parlay plays needed to be eligible for monthly prize.
  
• Tiebreaker - Win % of individual parlay legs. If still tied, combatants will carry on a head-to-head parlay match until winner determined.
  
• All decisions made by SBR with regards to this contest are final.
  
• SBR employees eligible to participate but are not eligible to win the monthly prize.

Make sure to get in on the fun from the start. Check back on Tuesday, Jan 2, to start showing off your hardwood handicapping skills

Sounds good.

But, you say it starts Tuesday January 2. No such thing this year. Do you mean Tuesday January 1, or Wednesday January 2?

thanks for the contest SBR & LT Profits

when is the deadline each day to enter your picks? Is the deadline going to change from day to day?

[LT Profits]

Start date is Wednesday, Jan 2. Deadline is tip-off time of first leg of your parlay.
