    MLB Betting Contest: SBR Octotals®

    MLB Betting Contest: SBR Octotals®

    FAQ & Rules:
    1) Who's in charge? My decisions are final. This is the most important rule of the contest.

    2) Who's eligible? All betpoints eligible accounts that registered their posting accounts on or before Sept. 1, 2010. This is the second most important rule of the contest. If you don't meet this stipulation, you are still free to register and play along, but you aren't eligible for any point awards.

    3) What does it cost to sign up? Nothing. Not one penny or point.

    4) What can I win? Contest purse is 1,500 betpoints payable in the following manner:

    1st place: 750 points
    2nd place: 400 points
    3rd place: 250 points
    last place: 100 points

    My plan is to include up to 500 bonus points based on various occurrences I haven't figured out yet

    5): How do I play?

    a) Pick MLB betting totals in October games, beginning Oct. 01, 2010 through final World Series Game. There are 45 scheduled regular season games and 24-41 playoff games. Minimum 30 one-unit plays, maximum 60.

    b) Winners determined by total units won. In case of ties, points will be split. In case of other things, see rule #1.

    Join the contest

    The side bar to this contest is we will also be raising points for a donation to an SBR supported charity to be decided by the eventual winner and sam9ball. I will open that portion of the bit with a 250-point donation. If you would like to donate 1-10 points towards this eventual cause when you enter, click the coin below.

    Sounds great... if I cash I'll give half my winnings up to 200 points to the charity just as long as it has no religious affiliation.

    What about the Agnostics Galactical Group? Just kidding, once the ultimate winner and Sam pick one, you can donate then if it fits your guidelines.

    Excellent, appreciate the gesture for whatever charity is the ultimate destination.

    I'm in for entertainment since I didn't officially join til a week or two ago (although I've lurked much much longer). If I were to place for points, instead of being exempted, can it just be donated to the charitable cause at the top?

    Sounds good Willie. As a bonus, how about including the over/under of the number of fish caught on your vacation?

    I'm glad you brought this up, old friend. As you know, a fisherman never tires of regaling in his successes...or even failures for that matter.

    I brought home eight keepers, including two very nice reds in the 21-22 inch range. Didn't keep count, but I tossed back at least 40 hardheads and dink specs as well as two more undersized reds

    NLDS Game 1, Reds at Phillies

    50-point bonus contest: Guess the exact total of runs, hits and errors in the Cincinnati, Philadelphia NLDS Game 1. One entry per contest participant -- in other words, if you're not in the contest already then you're not eligible. All predictions have to be made by 5 p.m. Eastern today and any post(s) edited will be ruled ineligible. Closest without going over wins, in case of ties the prize is split.
