What kind do you prefer??

Do you like contests that string multi event for say more Pts risk?

Or separate contests for individual events?

Pick the outcome of all fights/ or Everyone Risks a set $$$ amount say $1,000?

Only problem is I'm not sure how many of you are SBR Pro and would have to be in order to transfer Pts. But I think we'd have a decent group of posters interested in contests here.

Let me know.

[BIGDAY]

Personally I like conests separate for each event.

And like the idea of everyone risking the same $ amount.

[BIGDAY]

And if we do each event contests. How many pts are you willing to risk?

10/50/100??

[PunisherIND]

i think the contests were fine the way they used to do them. single event. charge everyone 5 betpoints. pick the winner, round, and method.

if its a betting contest, then it would be better over several events, imo.

also, i think its B.S. that they dont have the $200 sportsbook deposit to become pro. Now they want you to spend 2K on amazon, or subscribe to a fantasy news blog or some crap. can you pass this message to the powers that be. i dont really care about any of the benfits that come with being a pro, i just want to post on "nunya's one way ticket to valuetown" thread but he restricted it to pros only... like a real asshole.

i'd be willing to risk approx. half a month's worth of daily loyalty reward for non-pros.

p.s., i would be happy to spend the 2K on amazon. shit, my wife spends that much on amazon in a month. lol. problem is they want you to spend the 2K in a single purchase. wtf. am i supposed to buy a damn bouncy castle just to become pro? come on guys.

haha can you do tht?!

[Vaughany]

I personally prefer the longer term ones so that you can have a league table of sorts rather than one off. BUt guess if you keep doing one-off ones you can still record people's track records

[PunisherIND]

haha can you do tht?!

no, i cant do that because im not a pro. we're treated like second class citizens up in this bitch. might have to call reverand al about this.

but apparently pros are able to do this. i couldnt even post a thank you for nunya's mayweather early release recommendation. gets me so angry just thinking about it.

[Vaughany]

ha like the apartheid all over again

Sorry, started that thread back when I didn't want to have Gabers comment on everything I wrote. (this is back when he told me I'd probably commit suicide over christmas (attempt failed, Gabers, maybe this year))

Your welcome for the $25 though.

[NunyaBidness]

haha can you do tht?!

Didn't you notice the high quality of the posters in my thread?

[Vaughany]

hahaha

I did think it was weird

I know, it blows for us US residents. I was hoping they had some more unique options with start of football season.

I think they are looking into other charity options as well.

These contests would be just between the group of people that wanted in, not SBR backed contests. So a 5pt entry with say 20 people would only give 1st place 50pts, 2nd 30 and 3rd 20.

I can link a contest page in PlayerTalk also to get more action on it as well. With a lower risk we should be able to get a few more contestants, then again... More to grade as well.

yea i remember those days. it was almost like the wild west. but the landscape has totally changed since then. now look, we have TWO moderators. lol.

anyway, there must have been 2 or 3 instances where you would have received my daily allotment of 2 betpoints. good luck sleeping tonight, now that you possess this information.

[NunyaBidness]

lol don't remember that

I do, it sucked.

I was totally planning on committing suicide that christmas, but I had to cancel because I didn't want you to be right.

My family appreciates the 3% of a pizza you have bought them over the past few months, I cannot thank you enough.

It's the thought that counts, so I was still right.

[MMAbetMASTA]

I never got to play it, but I remember Vaughn had a contest that actually wagered 'money' or fake points that each game player was awarded as a starting bankroll for each major mma event. Being that this is a betting forum I think this would be a bit more fun than the traditional 25/25/50 (method/round/pick) scenario that's used in the sherdog fantasy, loiosh's contest in the SD forum and others.

Each player places their bets at some point before the event starts, documented with real live odds that you include when you place the bet.

You have rules to the types of wagers and bets you can place (such as no more than 500 down on a -200 or better favorite, if say you're given a $1500 starting roll for the event; or you have to risk at least 200 of your roll on +140 or better dog during each event). I can't remember the different wager rules, but I remember Vaughn had a few in place.

The ranking of the ongoing game is basically based by who has profited the most cash overall, accumulated from each mma event since the game started. One 'game' can have say 4 mma events and then you add up the profits for these events to get the winner of that game, or it could be a neverending ongoing game / ranking game with no limit of mma events..

obviously those who start playing the game asap will have a profit advantage (assuming they've been winning) over those who missed out on the first event or two for a game and wanna join in thereafter.. so perhaps there is something that can be done about this, like give the option to pass on an event but be able to carry over that inital starting bankroll and use it in the next event you decide to play, Or at the last event of a particular game you can allow max wagers using as much profit as you want / have no wager rules for the last event of a game...

I don't know if any of this makes as I'm kind of out of it lol, but I'm sure someone else that knows what I mean with this game or have played a similar game can explain it better...

I liked this type of game, even though I didn't have the chance to play it haha... It sounded fun and lets you gamble against fellow degens here.

[Vitooch]

I like the contest mentioned above more. Its more in the capping spirit where odds play a factor in your plays and picks. That contest has the potential to be very interesting.

[Educ8d Degener8]

F*cking lolz. (I can't give any more points out today apparently)

I believe this is the previous contest that BetMasta is referring to if anybody wants to check it out... http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/boxing-mma...a-contest.html (I just copied Hoff's way of doing it as it had always worked well)

[Vaughany]

Our most esteemed head Mod Bigday may be able to get SBR to throw some more points into the pot as well. The more points there are to win the more likely people are to stick with it and not miss/skip events.

[Vitooch]

Just looked through that whole thread...boy there's some good shit in there. Classic Nunya and gabe back and forth. Can we please do this contest again. I wanna throw down lots of betpoints (200 buy in)

ha yeah it was good, Gabe shanked it and came last...I'm confident he'd be a big player in the next one though!

[Vaughany]

Bigday, reckon there is any possibility of non-pros being able to pass the points on to SBR in one go or SBR take the points from their account and then in to the pot to get around the whole only being able to post 2 points a day or whatever it is?

[Grabaka]

ha yeah it was good, Gabe shanked it and came last...I'm confident he'd be a big player in the next one though!

Yeah, i agree. We dont wanna start any argument!

[Vaughany]

haha one of Edu's comments in the previous contest...

Gabe, you bipolar brah?

[BIGDAY]

I know SBR can take the Pts and put them say to me, just doubt they will. But I'll ask. I also agree with a higher point risk like 200 like Vitooch referred to.

[GunShard]

SBR should allow us to make MMA contests for betpoints. Not sure why they don't allow this.

[PunisherIND]

Yea man, 200 pts would be good for a multi-event contest. The biggest inconvenience is the 2 pt transfer limitation for non-pros. Main reason I didn't do the previous ones.

[PunisherIND]

Umm, yea.

[GunShard]

Umm, yea.

Try setting up an MMA contest here. It won't let you. http://contests.sportsbookreview.com/
