    To Those of You That Have Played My Weekly Points Contests

    Should I abandon the 20-point and 25-point pools contests I've been running for years? The reason I ask is because there will be a lot of 5-point buy-in contests for SBR Sportbook Free Plays going forward like the current three-week NFL and CFB contests.

    We will be running those for every sport, so is there really a need for the weeklies? Also note that should I continue them, the 500-point free play to the winners of the three football contests will go away. That creates more "cap space" for all the upcoming nickel contest that award free plays to the Top 10 mostly.

    honestly not many care about weekly tourneys, or even monthly.

    combine all the prizes into one tourney and promote it.

    you could do way better for sbr and posters if it is like a 300 pt buyin with 4x rewards as opposed to 5 pt buy in with 1000x rewards

    I don't play 'em because 20 plays on a weekend is insane for me...

    4-6 NCAAF and 0.75 NFL per week I average

    I am fan of the weekly contest, so I for one hope they don't go away. Appreciate that you asked, but understand if you decide to do away with them.

    I like your contests LT, I'm not even pro.
    If I do turn pro, I'd like to get bigger buyin contests weekly. May do it if I stay competitive in the prick and current poker contests.

    I would be pretty disappointed if you stopped doing your weekly ones. Those are really the only ones I like playing in.

    OK how's this: I keep them all, but drop the entry fees to 15 or 20. That would accomplish two things, with one being freeing up the extra 5 points to join the nickel contests. But secondly, with Basketball about to start, it would all me to run five of the weekly point contests instead of the current four and keep the total fees for those that play all of them at around 80 points?
    Points Awarded:

    hugh_morris gave LT Profits 50 SBR Point(s) for this post.

    Ok will most likely roll with this. And for those of you like sweep and Rudy that went off on a tangent a bit from the specific question asked, you know you guys could set those up yourselves and I would likely join them.
