I understand that one has to have a cris account before you can particpate in this event. I will be opening up and funding (most likely) a Cris account next week. If anyone wants to get a referral bonus off of this please let me know (I think they offer 10%). How much do you have to have in the account to particpate? Also, if you do get lucky enough to "beat the prick" once, can you particpate in the contest the rest of the season or not? Please post any other fine print that applies. Thanks.

My understanding is you need a Cris acct with $50 + in it to collect before being credited, so you could wait until after you win, and before Friday.

Multiple winning weeks are fine, I've hit twice so far, and expect at least 3 more, minimum.

I'm not sure how management feels about referrals offered on the forum.

I have much grander expectations for future wins.

OK cool...so once I get my account set up I just have to post my three picks (college or pro) in that thread above?...anything else I need to do?...thanks guys...

No, there's nothing else you need to do except get Illusion your CRIS account # once you have successfully beaten that Prick.

And as Doug said, you don't have to have the CRIS account set up to enter the picks. Just get the picks in and you can worry about the rest later. Once you have won, you've got about 5 days to set that up before they deposit the winnings.

Mind you, CRIS is a good book to have an active account.

BTP is already closed for this week though.

Upon registering for the contest you had to provide your name and address. If you qualify for a weekly prize a check will be mailed to you.

If your computer goes down can you log in on someone else's to post your picks?

As long as you are logged in under your handle I don't see why not. I wouldn't make a habbit of it though.

So are you guys saying that this so called FREE contest is not really free? So whats the deal you have to have a cris account for how much? I never read this crap in the contest rules.

imgv nailed it. These rules are from the 2006 contest.

I don't want to be to tough on a newbie, but why would you bring back a thread that has a 2 year old post as its most recent post?

It must have confused some to read about the required Cris account that was the topic in '05 but doesn't apply now.

Next time, please start a new thread with your question.

cris account

I asked the same question and he said that you do not have to have a cris account in order to collect you winnings. However, I am still not sure what it is for.

can someone bury old threads like this one thats 2+ yrs old so no new posts can be added? i know some old threads can have useful info, but shouldn't be allowed to post after 2 yrs of inactivity. it only confuses people who don't read.

Illusion · 11-24-07, 12:56 PM

I went ahead and closed the thread to avoid further confusion.
