Great contest. Thanks for doing this. Looks like I could have finished better if I had remembered to bet the whole $100 on the Belmont.....dumb......

Congrats guys. Sorry I missed this one.

bigdaddyjames · 06-06-10, 11:09 AM

that is not fair to let some one in that was betting over the limit and drop me to 10th when i played right >>> i would love to have 100 free points to BUT instead you can't drop me from 100 to 50 points ...

I went through the picks again, bigdaddyjames. soli did his picks the same way in the prior contest and I never called him out on it since they were clear enough. They were clear enough this time as well.

In the way he posted, what was meant by examples like a $48 exacta with three choices is clearly 6 combinations at $8 each. It's not the horse betting protocol to list it like that but if anyone else did it that way, I would also know what was being said.

I never gave an exact format to use when posting the plays. As long as it seems clear to me what someone is choosing, then I have gone along with it. If it is -not- clear to me what someone chooses, then I will generally grade it a loss or give them the worse of any doubt.

If you do not want the 50 points, I am sure our 16th-place finisher would be happy to take them. Let me know what you prefer.

Ryangene · 06-07-10, 08:38 AM

I'm sure a guy that didn't finish in any place would take the 50 points too!

playersonly69 · 06-07-10, 11:01 AM

Any idea when the points will be credited? I was going to use that 50 for the post up baseball contests this week. I only need 50 points though

DRZ · 06-07-10, 11:27 AM

NICE WORK GUYS

chiliv5 · 06-07-10, 12:19 PM

Again, great contest! I wish I saw the last one.... Thanks...

Remember there is a 4x rollover in the sportsbook on the points, po. We will get them credited as soon as this situation with bigdaddyjames is resolved.

playersonly69 · 06-07-10, 03:53 PM

OK, well I wont use them for those contests then I guess. I will bet them in the sportsbook. I did not know that rule until now. There is only the cross sport contest that I wont be able to sign up for anyway for 20 points. No big deal, I have been getting killed in that contest lately anyway. This is saving me 20 points i think

Wait a second man - 9th and 10th both pay 100 points. I guess you get your 100 points after all and all this complaining just held everyone up from being credited for a day.

CarolinaDaze · 06-07-10, 04:22 PM

Thats what the ***K i was about to say. Ya'll argueing over nothing, pay up i want to bet MLB tonite.

Reload · 06-07-10, 04:28 PM

I have submitted the winners to Lou for crediting.

Hope we can do this again for the Breeders Cup!

CarolinaDaze · 06-07-10, 04:32 PM

That was fast, thanks again. Now everyone remember 4x roll-over in SBR Sportsbook. See ya for the breaders cup.

mikemca · 06-07-10, 04:47 PM
