How to Enter:
Step 1: Register a free SBRforum username.
Step 2: Join The Beat The Prick contest.
Step 3: Make your 4 weekly picks after 'The Prick' makes his selections.

How to play Beat The Prick

• You will make 4 plays each week. Making less than 4 plays disqualifies you for that weekly prize but those plays will count toward your season-ending score.
• By midnight Wednesday of each week, 'The Prick' will make 4 picks on NFL or NCAAF sides or totals. Contestant picks cannot be entered until 'The Prick' has made his picks. The games which he selects will be taken off the board and are not available to contestants.
• Everyone including The Prick will choose a 2-unit (double value) best bet each week.
• You must Beat The Prick to win. If The Prick scores +3.00 and you score +3.10 you will have beaten The Prick. However, if The Prick goes 4-0 with his football plays, there are no winners.
• Only players with a positive score can earn prizes. Placing above The Prick but with negative units for the week will not earn prizes.
• You must have made 48 picks to be eligible for the season-ending cash prizes.

Fine Print

• You must be an SBR Pro to be eligible for the Grand Prize cash prize-pool. Your SBR PRO application must be submitted by the week 4 Monday Night Football game's kickoff the evening of October 2nd.
• SBR Pro users whose membership expires during the course of the contest will be given a five day grace period to renew their Pro status to be eligible for the Grand Prize-pool. Prior to the courtesy extension of five days, Pro users whose membership is set to expire are given renewal notices by PM 30, 14, 7 days and 24 hour out.
• The weekly freeplays carry a standard 1X rollover. Only the freeplay winnings are released into your account. The max underdog odds of any team in one of your freeplays is 10/1.
• The system checks Tuesday of each week to confirm whether or not a user is an SBR Pro. If the user is confirmed as Pro after Tuesday prior to making picks, he/she will still show up as non-Pro. This user can be credited the double points manually after notifying SBR. Users who are confirmed as Pro after making picks in a given week will receive normal prizes.
• Players who enroll multiple accounts per household will be disqualified.
• If you register and don't make picks within 3 weeks, you will have to re-register.
• SBR employees and members of their family are prohibited from receiving real-money prizing.

Wow, so it's sponsored by SBR? Generous.

This reverts back to the original Beat the Prick, which paid out in terms of actual money rather than sportsbook cash.

wow wow very nice

[topgame85]

Wow, really? No sportsbook sponsor...... That is not good news boys

[Wulfman14]

sbr poker is back and now BTP!!!!!!!!!!!! and soon the NCAAF/ NFL seasons will be underway again.

[Sanka]

Bring it on Prick

[Wulfman14]

damn i wish they had a deposit that you had to make at a book. there will be shitloads of people in this now and the payouts will not be that good if prick goes anything less than 3-1 and hits his best bet. and that dumb hick will be lucky to go 3-1 even 2 weeks in the season

[Wulfman14]

my bad i didnt read the 50,000 pts per week in the original post by lou. that is very nice actually. i figure if the prick goes 3-1 and especially if he hits his best bet you are looking at almost 1000 pts for each person that beats him that week. but i am assuming the same number of people enter this contest as last season which i doubt.

too bad 5dimes didn't get in on this. even if 5d wanted 150+ dollar deposits by all entrants into their book i would do it without hesitation to be part of a 5 dimes sponsored btp contest. that fukking uigea bill has fukked up everything for us. i bet because of the crackdown on online gaming is the reason why sbr is not getting a book to sponsor this contest. and you don't wanna leave out the americans from btp cuz that is just not fair. not to mention the huge amount of bitching that would follow from something like that

How many entries is TestD going to be allowed to have?

I like the new format. No need to deal with deposits/withdraws from offshore and no rollovers!

You have to be stupid to play as a non-Pro. What are you going to do with the winnings if you can't buy anything from the store?

[iceminers26]

wait so there are no $ payouts weekly just points? so essentially we are really only playing for the grand prize in terms of $?


BTP is always my favorite but this is a step back IMO, wish a book would have sponsored for the weekly $ payouts... not complaining but previous years were better structure, gl all.

there will be non pros playing though. i would guarantee it. regardless there are a lot more pros also now.

903 st. Louis cardinals +120

[70kgman]

Sounds great. But...why let non-pro's play at all? Point scammers will be out in full force. Probably a quarter of the entries will be ghosts.

Very Nice!

The test accounts were made by staff to ensure everything was smooth. They're of course being removed. =)

What's the rollover on sportsbook points, its all good winning 10k pts but when you have to roll that 5x no thanks

[iifold]

On my way to make 5 ghosts and take a shot at the Grand Prize...

Sometimes I wonder who is in charge at SBR...

Why wouldn't I just go make an account at every Relatives house and have 10 times the chance to win 5K...

The sportsbook cash at least slowed down ghosts, this will bring them out in droves...

[SBR_John]

50,000 betpoints per week!
SBR Pro members win double the weekly SBR point prizes!

The number of points awarded weekly will probably be in the 70,000 range. Going to be fun.

All you do is bet the freeplay as normal (standard 1X). If you win, withdraw it

You are being nice to them. How about players who enroll multiple accounts get banned for life?
