    World Cup Brackets Contest: 100,000 points!

    World Cup Brackets Contest: 100,000 points!



    How to enter
    a. Go to Bracket Site
    b. enter Pool ID 32228 | password sbrodds11
    c. Register yourself. Please make your SBR username your "team name" for the bracket reports, NOT your full name. Do not register more than once. Save your bracket log-in and password.

    How to play:

    • Click Your Pick Entries -> Fill out a new entry
    • Predict the final order for each of the eight groups by dragging and dropping all 32 teams into the order you think they will finish within their group. The team you drag into the first slot for each group is your predicted winner of that group; 2nd is runner up, 3rd, then 4th. (pick deadline June 12 at 4PM ET)
    • Upon completion of the group stage games, return to the bracket to fill out the Knockout Stage games (pick deadline June 28 at 12PM ET). You must predict all 15 matches at this time through the championship, as well as a predicted total of championship game points (primary tiebreaker).

    I have no idea what I'm doing.

    Though I think if I pick poor countries and European countries I'll do okay.

    Have ya read the rules beefie? All you need is to have a Pro app pending by June 27. Being Pro nowadays requires as little as a minimum deposit and a new book account. If you can't put $5 in a sportsbook you probably wouldn't win the contest anyway.

    Lets say they allow non-pros and you win 15,000 points what the fukk are you going to do with them? You can't use them unless you turn Pro.

    But if you win 15,000 points you can't transfer them all. So you want to win 15,000 and then use 3,000 to turn Pro and lose the other 12,000? That's -EV.

    SBR gives non-pros trivia every so often, and keeps lowering the bar to go pro. You're already here every day and it would be at least break-even for you to go pro...what does SBR have to do, wire the money into your account first? And do you expect them to take a non-pro (non-customer) serious when he complains about the freebies they're giving out?

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe you can become pro with points, only renew.
