It is too bad Mikey 5s put me back on ignore. I would challenge him to race for 3500 betpoints for the rest of this year and all of next since he does not care about points but takes loans from Yisman to bet with them. I would not need to run a contest or get paid back. Fortunately for him, he can pretend he will not see this post.Comment -
Don't think mikes too worried about points somehowComment -
Think opti or someone with yahoo knowledge of the rules would be good to explain the game
Just personally don't have the time to run it no moreLast edited by shaunovery; 07-03-17, 05:14 AM.Comment -
Opti, I'm really surprised that you would quote me, and then imply that I charge rake. I have run hundreds of contests in tennis, golf, basketball, hockey, baseball, squares, survivor, ---etc. have you ever, ever seen a rake? are you imagining things?
as for the charity, the last 4 months or so, from every pool contest we set aside and give 5% donation to CURE ANGELMAN, an official SBR charity. is that such a bad thing? nobody has complained about that.
never ever expected such a comment, especially from you.Comment -
Sorry if I was mistaken. Seem to recall it for one on the last golf contest of yours I played. I thought you charged a rake on every contest you run.
But yes, I don't really like it. Just a personal opinion from a non-American who finds publicly trumpeting about charity donations a bit crass, and sees charging vig for running a contest as nickle and diming pals.
Don't take that personally though. I realize it seems fine to most here. Just don't want an outsider doing it for profit for this contest after 7 years of this going on. I'd do it myself instead of that..Comment -
of course you are mistaken. pull up any thread contest and check it out. you can't throw around imaginary accusations.
as for the charity donations, I have BIGDAY post in every contest that finishes, and transfer to him the 5%, reason being as a non-american I cannot donate directly. I thought that it would be a small way to help BIGDAY who has a wonderful little girl with Angelman's problem. as a community here we should be able to help a fellow member
AND AGAIN I WILL REPEAT THAT THERE NEVER HAS BEEN ANY CONTEST RUN BY ME WITH ANY RAKE/VIG/PROFIT OR WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT.

sad thing is i almost took the 95 and 17....Comment -
Dude, you put a vig on that tourney you linked just like I said. You took money from the prize pool to play. Whatever you personally want to do with it makes no difference to me.

You choose to do it. You asked me specifically what problem I had with it. So I told you.
Own it and be a man. It's fine if you think it's a good thing to do. But get out of my face with your bold font and defensiveness now. K??.Comment -
Well let's find out. I had not been keeping up with my Hot Points Racer rundown of all the points you have fenced for ScumDaddy and Mikey5s has been holding some at 93 points. I would like them back. I had not asked for them before because you had all exposed yourselves for what you are and had an agreement with Scum.
I know Mikey5s does not care about them because he already lost them gambling as he always does and took a loan from Yisman to keep at it.
Send them my way. Every bit helps.
Oops Mikey has me on ignore.
PS Mikey5s I hope you will not mind if I change my avatar for a while. Those beady eyes are tough to take every day.Comment -
The nascar guys do it only to help out the small sub forum we have, they don't expect or get anything at all out of it. Or take anything from the pool for any reason
Not sure why anybody else would want to take the time and effort otherwise without gaining something now that I think about it.Comment -
The Yahoo game is all yours Spidey. Have at it.of course you are mistaken. pull up any thread contest and check it out. you can't throw around imaginary accusations.

I will run NASCAR Live because people do not like it anyway and I need to keep the scumbag pinned down as much as possible. Will yours be a freeroll racing league as well?Comment -
^^^ Here is all I said Spider.
Are you saying that is not what you do?
I am not mistaken at all. As your linked contest shows. But it seems like you must be ashamed of it to try and pretend you don't do that eh?
That was pretty much a bald faced lie you calling me mistaken wasn't it Spider?.Comment -
geeze.... this thread is starting to remind me of the current mess that is the British Gov't......
someone get rodney king in here to give his profound "can't we all get along" statement.....
i signed up for yahoo but dropped that shit due to lack of time and freedom, and not fully understanding how long you're tied to your originally picked drivers, etc.....
fox is very f'n easy, not sure what's out there that's akin to fox, but yahoo seemed a bit convoluted.....
as for BN, who the hell is the Scumbag to which he's referring? I didn't realize we had any real conflict in this group....
on a side note, i'm glad we're not waiting like the republicans, who had seven years to get their shit together re: a plan to replace f'n obamacare and still haven't gotten it done, and are addressing this shit with ample time to get it worked out before speedweeks 2018Comment -
ScumDaddyJames akaBigDaddyJames aka Joey stole 3500 betpoints from me and I have been chasing him all over this forum and pissing people off doing it. He was running the NASCAR Live contest.
NASCAR Live is the most like Fox but awards a ton of points for lead laps.
Yahgo is not very convulted but you can only pick certain drivers a certain amount of times which people may not like. It is also very boring if you are used to live updates for Fox and like trying to put together a line up.
It does base the results on the actual outcome of the race which people might like better and people especially did not like about NASCAR Live when they first started. NASCAR Live is very frustrating but definitely the most fun of any of the games in my opinion.Comment -
hmm.... boring/no live updates? you mean you can't get a "scorecard" during the race to see where you're at compared to the other contestants? that would totally suck, as one of the funner things about fox is being able to see, for example, your team crash and burn in the last five laps -- a repeated problem I've had the last month and ahalf, only to be edged out....
not seeing any comparison results til its done takes the in race fun out of it for sure.... I've watched more races this year than over the past several just to see how well people have picked em, etc.....Comment -
ok, opti , I'm going to be very polite. please count the deposited entries, total 21 + 1 entry (mine ) total 22 x 150 = 3300 pts.
now check the payouts :
PAYOUTS :

..........3300

Yes. NASCAR Live is even more updated than Fox. You can look at what all the driver points are during the race and agonize over the guy you did not pick scoring tons of points while you get passed up. It is also wild ass crazy. You get negative points when your racers go down in the field which you don't get in Fox.
The lineups are also much harder to put together which makes it more fun in my opinion. NASCAR Live is basically DraftKings. I like it a little better than DraftKings because you can see all the updates and the lineups are harder even though the point system for DraftKings is a little more fair.Comment -
Look, just spit out what you are trying to say. I have no further patience with your obfuscation.
Here are your contest terms;
*** entry fee 150 pts.
*** payout: 1st 65% -- 2nd 20% -- 3rd 10%
...... 5% to Cure Angelman Charity
...... no tiebreaker--ties split
I don't want a rake/vig/donation taken by an outsider to run this old contest. That is all.
Why are you even going on about this pretending you dont do it???
You could have just said, fair enough, we dont agree. Or I think its a good thing. Or I wont do that for the nascar contest.
But whats with all this bullshitting about like you dont do it for?
What the hell are you trying to do? Make me, and probably anyone else who reads this, wonder if you can actually be trusted now??.Comment -
After running it for many years, I really got burned out last year. It felt good to just show up and play this year. But I don't want this contest to end, so hopefully my batteries will be recharged after this season and off season ends. If one of our regulars don't step up, I'd run it just to keep it going. My biggest concern is us finding another Fun contest to play. Wish a new site would pop up us to try.Comment -
Having read the first NASCAR Live thread, it seemed to me the thing people really did not like was place differential. People have gotten used to that now and I think they would like NASCAR Live a lot better. It looks to me like everybody that signed up for NASCAR Live is still putting in lineups even if they are not putting up points which says something. If it is the only option, people will be fine with it and get used to it. They should probably give it another chance.
Also for newcomers, you can see how all the points are totaled so it is pretty easy to learn especially if you are watching real time.Comment -
Yahoo is the best option , more strategy neededComment -
opti, just a bit strong willedComment -
bn is one of the weirdest people on the internet, goddamnComment -
Example, you had Harvick for 2 points. In NASCAR, he was -15 and would have been -20 if not for fast laps, lead laps and stage points.
When you set a lineup in NASCAR Live, you have to weigh both gains and losses in your picks. You have to factor a lot more things in your decisions and the better you are at that, the better you will do in the contest.Comment -

You need to select a roster plus bench drivers before first practice each race, or you get stuck with the previous weeks picks to use.
You can change bench drivers into the roster up until race time.Comment -
