    sounds great, but probably not worth it for me to deposit at a 20c shop for baseball

    Quick question Lou...if I already have a Legends account (but have never made a deposit with them before), would I just make a $50 deposit to be eligible?

    Rudy, you wouldn't necessarily have to bet Baseball there. NBA playoffs still go for another 2 months or so. Plus, every once in a while they have a dog that is higher than other shops. Or you could just leave it in there till football rolls around and hopefully have some of this "bonus" money added on.

    Anyways, thanks for the contest as always! Really wish you guys could do one of these where you can't participate unless you make the deposit though. Half the money gets lost because people are playing for betpoints.

    That's correct. One new deposit of $50 makes you eligible for everything, all the monthly pools & Grand Prize-pool.

    The contest details were more closely guarded than the KFC recipe.
    For such a small deposit, the contest offers a considerable amount of value. In addition, there's an exclusive 33% signup bonus only offered for SBR members that wish to double the required startup amount.

    Looks good, thanks.

    Can we confirm or deny if Legends is 20-cent baseball lines though? I'll just do the minimum if so.

    Yes, it is accurate. Legends tells us that they were planning to go with a progressive dimeline, but that this won't happen until next year.

    And this is where you lost me. Points players can go play in the sandbox with their own contest.

    I full agree!

    I will play because I like Legends and have proper amount there, but I feel bad about swarm no pros and point stiffs who will take their free points shot and cut a lot real players prizes!

    Thanks Legends and SBR indeed!

    i miss the beat the prick contest format. much easier to cash in that type of contest. in the moneyball shootout type format i have not even come close. then again i suck at handicapping basketball.
