    How to play:
    Register here.

    Requirements

    • Players must deposit $50+ into their Legends accounts after April 11th, 2011. New accounts must be created via the Promo Link, and are eligible for an exclusive 33% bonus on deposits of $100+.

    • This is a one-time funding requirement. Inter-book transfers, SBR Store promotions or bonus cash do not satisfy the deposit requirement.

    • Posters that join after the contest starts must have made their $50 deposit by the 15th of that month to be able to claim cash winnings. Posters who join after the 15th are eligible for cash only if their deposit is made prior to picks being placed.

    Exceptions: If a poster already has a $200 balance, comprised entirely of real-cash, he/she does not need to make the $50 deposit. Posters with less than $200 balances must redeposit $50 to be prize-eligible.

    sounds great, but probably not worth it for me to deposit at a 20c shop for baseball

        Quick question Lou...if I already have a Legends account (but have never made a deposit with them before), would I just make a $50 deposit to be eligible?

          Rudy, you wouldn't necessarily have to bet Baseball there. NBA playoffs still go for another 2 months or so. Plus, every once in a while they have a dog that is higher than other shops. Or you could just leave it in there till football rolls around and hopefully have some of this "bonus" money added on.

          Anyways, thanks for the contest as always! Really wish you guys could do one of these where you can't participate unless you make the deposit though. Half the money gets lost because people are playing for SBR points.

                  That's correct. One new deposit of $50 makes you eligible for everything, all the monthly pools & Grand Prize-pool.

                              The contest details were more closely guarded than the KFC recipe.
                              For such a small deposit, the contest offers a considerable amount of value. In addition, there's an exclusive 33% signup bonus only offered for SBR members that wish to double the required startup amount.

                                    Looks good, thanks.

                                    Can we confirm or deny if Legends is 20-cent baseball lines though? I'll just do the minimum if so.

                                        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.
