Too many people at SBR. Few years ago it was fairly easy to be in the money, but now it's become a crap shoot. I know those old days won't come back, but this new setup is nothing more than exploiting the forum membership.

If 400 people sign up Legends has its 20K back. SBR ends up with a chunk of the lifetime losses of the new accounts. That leaves the contestants scrambling for a few bucks. A far cry from the truly free contests SBR used to have. And a little too slick for me. Pass.

To the almost inevitable reply that it's a free contest, so there should be no criticism or complaint. It's not a free contest. It's a pool. But this pool is set up in such a way that SBR and the book reap the benefits. And you really don't need to thank SBR for setting up a pool. The continuing metamorphosis of SBR is almost bizar for those who were here early.

Great Contest, BUT....

why don't some of these books work / donate together (for just ONCE) to substancially increase the prizeboard (for just ONE contest) and get all the members of SBR on board?!?

Sure would be nice & something to look forward to. . . .most people can't / don't want to join all of the various contests because they don't want 18 accounts at different books

The NBA version of this was great so really looking forward to it.

Just made a deposit and told them SBR referred me...gl everyone!

**brock** · 04-12-11, 04:22 PM

Sounds real good. Thanks Legends and SBR.

**MonkeyF0cker** · 04-12-11, 05:16 PM

Why do you guys always put a max on the number of plays that we can make? If you're going to use a cap, why is it always only a few plays a day? Why can't it be 8-10 plays/day or no cap at all? I was really interested in this contest when it said that there were only minimums, but there actually is a max. WHY?!?!? There are 15 games a day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**LotsoCheese** · 04-12-11, 06:15 PM

I just made my $100 deposit and opened a new account. Calling them now for my 33%. Will have my picks shortly. GLTA!

**Augustus** · 04-12-11, 06:22 PM

Looks like another great contest, thanks look forward to it.

**mih847** · 04-12-11, 07:07 PM

fold

**mdemps9190** · 04-12-11, 08:46 PM

yeah I like the moneyball and BTP format, but monthly makes it not worth it for me. Still appreciate the contest though Lou, wish there was something weekly, then I would consider depositing.

**luvtogamble** · 04-12-11, 10:50 PM

looks like fun contest and will send them a little money for putting on the contest.

**alka07** · 04-13-11, 01:23 AM

**LUCKYCHUCK** · 04-13-11, 05:25 AM

looking forward to playing in this. great job lou

**cobalt king** · 04-13-11, 06:09 AM

worth the 50 bucks to have a shot at a grand every month

**soli** · 04-13-11, 06:51 AM

I agree with the earlier statement where the guys who are playing for points should have a different contest.

**NotSoBad** · 04-13-11, 07:26 AM

Sending $100 to get the 33% today and the contest

They finally seem to have more deposit options.

Yes, it is accurate. Legends tells us that they were planning to go with a progressive dimeline, but that this won't happen until next year.

whats progressive dimeline?

**necro** · 04-13-11, 09:08 AM

this will be GREAT contest!

**NotSoBad** · 04-13-11, 10:21 AM

**StraitShooter** · 04-13-11, 12:28 PM

If the ghost will continue to water down the cash prizes I will pass...moneyball was so ghost infested you had to go 7-0, 6-1 to think about a prize.wonder how many of the winners at the end got points instead of cash

**billyloco** · 04-13-11, 04:03 PM

CHA - CHING!!!...$50 just sent and deposited into my acct via **!!

**jmathes** · 04-13-11, 06:12 PM

**Casperwaits** · 04-13-11, 06:30 PM

**BigLouie66** · 04-13-11, 08:26 PM

thanks SBR and Legends!

**Cuse0323** · 04-13-11, 09:11 PM

is legends any good, need to deposit somewhere for hockey tomorrow. don't know if it's worth it there.

**LotsoCheese** · 04-13-11, 11:27 PM

Legends is definitely legit. I wouldn't worry about using them for NHL.

**qukubau** · 04-14-11, 06:13 AM

this looks great! i will open a Legendz account and deposit 50 dollars. thanks SBR.

**biggamer3** · 04-14-11, 10:41 AM

does Legends accept CC as payment?

**thadchr** · 04-14-11, 11:39 AM

Awesome! Thanks again SBR.

**azn624** · 04-14-11, 02:44 PM

Are they taking CC deposits?

**DEP78** · 04-14-11, 07:31 PM

Legends is legit. Will give 25% bonus with 5x rollover - $200 min. Mention SBR and get 33% instead of 25.

Nice contest - thanks Lou and Legends.
