LT how long is contest open to join? And does payouts increase once more join?

LT Profits · 03-12-13, 01:19 PM

No "official" join date, just make sure there are at least 64 plays left, which is 22 games (ATS/Total/ML). And yes is is a pool where everything in goes out so more people means more points.

DOM_Toretto · 03-12-13, 01:21 PM

Winner is based on total units, correct? Not W/L record...

Note: If there is a tie in units, tiebreaker will be Action Points, which is how many points you beat the spread by.

There you go.

LT - I get that there has to be independent line movement in this challenge, but some of these spreads are COMPLETE OPPOSITE of reality. I don't get it. I don't want to give any free picks away but the obvious one is Colorado +5.5?!?! It should be -5.5. Wtf? Like of course everyone should put 5units on it but its not even fair for people who don't see 'your' line.

All plays made on bad lines will be deleted. Best to report bad lines either here or on contest page. Those almost always happen on neutral court games.

Noles1992 · 03-13-13, 11:06 AM

YEAH LT, I sent an email on the wrong lines and some scores backwards. And true it happens more often with neutral court and tourney games. really no ones fault as if you look at each network espn cbs etc. websites they sometimes have them listed opposite of each other. Just part of the MADNESS of March.

LT Profits · 03-13-13, 11:27 AM

WED
Ariz State/Stanford
Oreg State/Colorado

Lou has been made aware and they should get fixed eventually

Noles1992 · 03-13-13, 01:28 PM

Looks like lines have been fixed, just a matter of how they decide to do the already pending. And fix a few of the scores from the last 2 days. Back on track!

Plays entered before the fixes on ATS and ML should have been deleted. Totals were unaffected.

Frisco · 03-15-13, 02:18 PM

Hey LT, not trying to be a narc or nything but the guy in 1st won 40 units on an ats and ML play of morgan state which was clearly a bad line. Just want the tourney to be fair

Noles1992 · 03-15-13, 03:20 PM

Hold on what, when? Are you sure? If so I will send an email asap and tell them to change it

Noles1992 · 03-15-13, 03:24 PM

I did tell them to change that score in one of the contests. Was I wrong? as I thought they had won

Contest hell never ends. No worries, it will get deleted.

Noles1992 · 03-15-13, 03:29 PM

I asked them to change the score and they did, in this contest. So what you are saying they werent the underdog? As this would be a game I am clueless on.
