    175 Point Question - Answer is wrong

    I answered my first 2 questions to get to the 175 pointer and was given this:

    Jimmy Rollins set the Phillie's regular season record for home runs by a shortstop with how many?


    35
    25 (what it says was correct answer)
    20
    30 (my choice)




    In 2007 Jimmy Rollins hit 30 homeruns. I'm confused how this was not setting the regular season record for Phillies SS's.

    Well thanks for all the help guys.. Guess I should have just asked to have my trivia reset, as those topics get immediate attention.

    I made a post about a bad trivia answer and posted a screenshot a couple months ago. I got no response either. I think we are stuck with whatever SBR puts as the answer whether it's right or wrong. They asked me how is the champion for division 1-A decided? Through polls, no champion , through playoffs, or coin toss. It's obviously through playoffs but they put polls. I'm clearly right but I just had to shake my head and move on.

    Hey, I've been ignored in getting back my 1700pts the tech issues gobbled up (despite showing proof) in poker so I hear you guys... loyalty to forum means ZIPPO, apparently.

    Sux....

    I think the trick with that one for those who just try to Google is that in 2006 he set the record with 25.

    ETA- Biter I just sent another email in for you. It may have gotten lost in the shuffle when they were moving servers.

    He hit 25 in 2006. That set the Phillies' record for most HR's by a SS.

    He then hit 30 in 2007. So how does that not set the record?

    Also, no. I'm not googling baseball trivia. You see that little green diamond in my screenshot? That's Diamond Mind Baseball. I've been in diamond mind baseball leagues since 1998. My father is from Philadelphia and is a big Phillies fan. So I knew he hit 30 homeruns one season. Using this deduction, and knowing he hasn't hit the higher number (35) then I concluded that he must have set the record with 30.

    Maybe SBR should correct the question stating how many homeruns did Jimmy Rollins hit to set the record over (whoever the record holder was prior)?

    Because the last time I checked, if you beat your own record you're still setting the new record.

    As I said, I should have just asked for a trivia reset instead. I've had issues with trivia before and made topics about them and get no help, I see nothing has changed in that aspect.

    Another wrong 175 pointer.. Apparently when it asks who won the championship in the 1998-99 season, it really meant who won the championship in the 1999-2000 season. Can this be fixed? Can I get my 175 free play points? Or at least a trivia reset. I would love to hear the explanation for this after being told that breaking your own record is not breaking the record from the question back in August.

    Def should get the free play points for this one. Answer is def Tennessee. Peerless Price was the man that year

    Nothing again, another 175 freeplay points that I do not receive because the answer is wrong. It is nice that my trivia actually works, unlike a lot of others, but when I give the correct answers and I am told they are wrong I would almost prefer it froze.

    Since Rudy was rewarded his points (5/18/15): http://www.sportsbookreview.com/foru...ivia-help.html

    And Pavy was rewarded his points (6/29/15): http://www.sportsbookreview.com/foru...via-issue.html

    Can I have my 350 points now? From 8/11/14 and 11/10/14

    You're clearly right both times. First one is closer but SBR's terrible wording and inability to comprehend things isn't your fault.

    Exactly, thank you. I continue to bump this each time someone else makes another thread with the same issue and SBR immediately responds and gives them the freeplays within hours. Yet I PM them, ask nicely in here, bump repeatedly, provide screenshots, and I just get ignored time after time after time.

    This is the exact same question that they gave Pavy his freeplay points immediately for. He also chose the correct answer, was told it was wrong.

    It's just when he created a thread the mods didn't completely ignore him, so he got it. Unfortunately for bullock he is in this thread and the mods clearly show favoritism for who they help, so he got screwed.

    Yet another example of some people getting help, while others are ignored and, pretty much, told to go fk themselves.

    543 days of waiting for the first freeplay to be rewarded. Yet these other mf'ers are getting their shit immediately. All I get is someone coming in and telling me the trick to their shitty, incorrect question. gtfo.

    Yes I was at this game and celebrated the TN National Championship won by QB Tee Martin. Something that Peyton Manning failed to do the previous four years.

    Wait what?
    I know this is very old, but wtf?
    That question (or better the answers) is absolutely laughable, as Sporting Clube de Portugal and Sporting Lisbon are ONE AND THE SAME CLUB.
    Plus, started playing or started professional playing? There is so much wrong with this question and the answers alone.... Crazy, who writes this shit?

    The sad thing is, pavy made a topic about the very same question before. It was ignored, so the question remained and then bullock suffered the same fate.

    I'm sure others have as well.

    How about now? Can I get my 350 freeplay points now? Answers I gave were still correct, regardless of how much SBR wants to ignore them. I'll just keep posting in this until I get a response from someone from SBR.

    Shari, I get your response, but I don't agree with it as well.
    Yeah, he set a record with 25. And he set a record with 30. The question wasn't specifically about him setting his first record. With this wording, technically both answers are correct. That is SBRs fault, not the players.
    Same goes for the Luis Figo question, clearly wrong there.

    Another instance of someone being paid out when they point out a wrong answer, all I get is someone trying to tell me how their wrong answer should be taken or flat out ignored:
