minet123 · 12-12-10, 01:14 AM

Yes what is going on

B1GER1C828 · 12-12-10, 01:34 AM

ya this is 1 of my plays, i'd like to know as well.

treece · 12-12-10, 02:34 AM

game is going to be on monday night so they should reset it.

MBENZ · 12-12-10, 03:18 AM

That's BS for you guys.The only place that doesn't have it lined is the SBR sportsbook.

BTP vikings game

my BTP 2x play for the week was for the giants to cover. game was posponed so it was graded a push in the BTP week. kinda unfair IMO. shouldnt backers in that game we be allowed another pick at the very least to replace the posponed one?

rumple · 12-12-10, 10:31 AM

I agree, hopefully someone can fix this before the games start today.

hhsilver · 12-12-10, 11:01 AM

with books - they cancel - but you can always bet it again when new line, new day come out. For these contests it counts as one of your picks. That's bad.

I'll wait until game result to be happy or mad.

pavyracer · 12-12-10, 11:06 AM

In past contests a cancelled game was graded a push. In the NBA contest the Orlando-New York game which was cancelled due to roof problems was graded as push.

its going to be played monday though, so i don't think it should be a push...we'll see though.

bachngocduong · 12-12-10, 01:36 PM

game not cancelled will start 7:20p

tblues2005 · 12-12-10, 01:56 PM

Maybe Lou or John should clear this one up. Come on guys.

70kgman · 12-12-10, 07:18 PM

Hopefully it stays a push. In the hypothetical scenario of the game staying a push and the prick going 3-1, the payout will be massive for us who went 4-0.

vitalogist · 12-12-10, 07:22 PM

The game is totally changed. It's a neutral field for all intents and purposes. Game should be voided, or a push.

k13 · 12-12-10, 08:06 PM

What is going to happen in all the contests?

VegasVixen · 12-12-10, 08:41 PM

Hmm,.I can't even get onto the contest page...

BestPlay2day · 12-12-10, 08:50 PM

I agree with the push, different night and now a neutral site.

B1GER1C828 · 12-12-10, 09:10 PM

2-1-1 +1.90 right now, but id rather be 2-1-0 right now with my other play pending as i like it alot

onlooker · 12-12-10, 10:01 PM

I went 0-3, so it is a non-factor.

But WTF! SBR. Can we get a explanation on this please?

pavyracer · 12-12-10, 10:19 PM

It should be a push. Different venue, different night, different lines.

raiders32 · 12-12-10, 11:30 PM

Obviously, these people calling for it to be a push, they don't have that game as a pick. If they did, they'd be complaining about a push. The fair thing would be to give those who picked this game a chance to cancel that pick and pick a Monday night game instead.
It's not fair to those who picked this game for it to be a push.

your 100% right. earlier i didnt even think that it would be in a different place or anything.

i just want it played as i got giants as a pick.

Then it should be voided. Not graded.

paciophobia · 12-13-10, 04:06 AM

any input from the admins here? i think its a big disadvantage to people who put this as their picks. and i think its better off being cancelled and the players who took picks for that game should be given another pick of their choice again. i dont think it can be considered as a "push" but more of being cancelled which i believe the best solution is to give another pick.

tblues2005 · 12-13-10, 08:11 AM

No reply from John or Jjgold or Lou on this yet? I am shocked by this.

pavyracer · 12-13-10, 08:43 AM

When this happened in the Knicks/Magic game earlier this year when the roof was leaking at MSG they graded the play as push in the NBA contest. It will be nice to know what they would for Giants/Vikings game before the game is played tonight. The prudent thing to do is void the previous plays and reopen the lines for the ones that had a pick. The venue is neutral now and the lines are completely different.

onlooker · 12-13-10, 10:39 AM

Well I see a mod was so kinda enough to move from the Players Talk forum to the Contest Forum, but wasn't able to give any info on this. Thanks.

k13 · 12-13-10, 10:40 AM

I don't want a push, a push is like a loss to me.

Even more so in the other contests.

It won't be left as a 'push'. Since the game was scheduled for Sunday, once there was no final score it was automatically 'postponed' by the contest software. The game is being played tonight, picks will count as normal on it.

This happens most often in baseball but since games aren't made up until weeks later in some cases, the game statuses are left as 'pushes'.. in this case, the game is being made up right away and anyone who picked it for Sunday still has action on it tonight.

onlooker · 12-13-10, 11:25 AM

Thanks for the explanation Lou.

paciophobia · 12-13-10, 12:21 PM

awesome! thanks lou!

tblues2005 · 12-13-10, 12:28 PM

Thank you Lou I was just wanting to know if this happened again then we would know what would happen. Thanks for getting in to let us know.

Irish Lumberjack · 12-13-10, 12:35 PM

Well then let's go giants!

hhsilver · 12-13-10, 01:14 PM

Lou.

Are you still there? what about the betonline 12 pick contest #1646? It's still showing push there. This is pretty important before because I have to make 2 more picks and am now in the top 5 going into tonight. One of my picks was going to be for this game, thinking I have a push from Sunday and can take the same game tonight with the new line as one of my 12 picks.

If the push is taken away and my original bet stands, I believe I should still be able to use tonight's game for one of my last 2 picks. If not , I'll have to bet a total -- but I would like to know.
