Hi LT, I'm just wondering and what time are the odds/lines etc available to actually place the picks on the contest page? I'm based in the UK and would like to know for future reference

Normally, shortly after the lines come out at Bookmaker, so some time the night before the games. However, we are currently experiencing difficulties with contest feeds for MLB and NHL, which is why there are no games available in those sports. Techs are looking into it.

LT, what does the 'action' column refer to on the rankings table?

LT, what does the 'action' column refer to on the rankings table?

It is the second tiebreaker after winning percentage. Action Points is how much you beat Totals or Run Lines by. So if you bet Over 8 and game lands on 11, you get +3. If you bet Under 7.5 and game lands on 9, you get -1.5 If you bet -1.5 run line and team loses 4-3, that is -2.5, etc... It applies only to Totals and Run Lines, so guys that play Money Lines only will always have 0.
