    Dexter vs Shoebox (1 Month Challenge)
    so shoebox and i have decided to have a 1 month contest using of course the games we will be playing with our own money. him and i are good (sbr friends so this is a friendly contest to simply perhaps light a fire under each of us with thousands watching. here are the rules:
    • the contest will run from Monday 4/13 to Tuesday 5/12. the most units at the end will be the winner.
    • all bets can range from 1 to 5 units, with a minimum amount of 40 bets total (no max). however, on 5/11 and 5/12, you are allowed a total of 10 bets max, and only four 5 unit plays (to help eliminate someone chasing and getting lucky).
    • all lines will be the opening consensus from sbr (far left), and plays must be posted by first pitch of the first day game (1:05 to 6:30 starts) and first pitch of the first night game at 7:05. no late west coast adds.
    • all bets must be for the full game and can consist of moneyline, runlines or totals.
    • we will be betting the team, not the pitcher - so a late scratch of the pitcher stands unless you cancel the bet prior to first pitch (here you can cancel a west coast game if your pitcher is scratched)
    • no posts can be edited
    • we will each be responsible for updating our running record
    • ML = moneyline - RL = run line

          shoe - how about the moneyline thats assigned to over/unders? lots of times for me its say 10 (over -120)...how can we tell that from here?

          looking at the mets i see -120 with the 7.5 total, but im not sure if thats -120 if you take the over or under?

          edit - i figured it out - the top ML is if you play the over, the bottom is if you play the under.

          ie, under tigers/rangers today would have been under 9.5 (-135)....

          ie, under mets today would have been under 7.5 (+100)

              closing lines since they'll always be easier to get after the games have started. they stay up until the next morning here on sbr.

              my picks will almost always be posted the night before. i dont log in from work anymore, and sometimes wont get home till after 7pm...

                04/12 12:25PM: 7½ -120 / 7½ +100

                you should just use the current line whenever you post instead of the closing line. and post the line with your pick.

                not my contest though.

                  problem is i wont be around to post all the time, so sometimes there likely wont even be a line up when i post my plays the night before.

                  its not a cut throat contest, so no big deal either way.

                    dex, my only thought is you get punished for making a play that later loses value by closing. and using openers is the opposite. i realize its just a fun contest, but does that mean you shouldnt keep score?

                    most lines are up the night before

                      i hear ya, but im sure sometimes it will help and others hurt us by using the current line. shoe and i arent line movement bettors really anyway. at least not strict. it would prob just even out.

                      what are your thoughts shoe - do you wanna just go by the opening consensus here on sbr?

                                An entirely useless post Schaap. I look forward to Dexter And Shoebox month long battle. I would love to keep score but am away from a computer for several days at a time. Different league? Horseradish! Love to see it. Good luck guys!

                                  is that the league where you delete all your plays after going something like 3-9 for the day?
                                  or the league where you plagiarize and offer game writeup as your on?
                                  or how about the league where you decide how many units you wager on a game after the game is over?

                                  damn dex, glad youre not in schaap's league.

                                              Now just what the hell is going on in here? And schaap to your credit you are good at what you do, and I loves the both of yous. But you didn't accept the challenge in a timely manner, which is why this 1 month challenge is rolling on without you. Now let's try not to cloud this thread with unnecessary unresolved issues and let the boys make their plays in peace.

                                                    If you'd like a score keeper, consider it done.
