Beat The Prick 2011 CONTEST is Open! $10,000 + 750,000 SBRpoints

[rsnnh12]

Action points. That is how much you beat or lose the spread by.

Ahhh ok. So that's used as a tiebreaker, basically? Thanks for the help

No you can bet the freeplay however you want. Small plays if you want. But that means you even have to win more games than 4 or 5 to cash any points. I mean you work hard all week to beat the prick and you may not win anything at the end. It used to be you earned cash..now you win point free plays.

like everything else here it used to be MUCH better. but that's what happens with a lot of sites, they entice the early guys to build traffic and then prizes go down and #of players goes way up.

i remember winning $200+ in a week or even $50 going 3-1, now going 4-0 gets you a $10 free play (sigh)

[SBR Lou]

Sorry about the no games available hiccup fellas. All is straight.

Hey so does the prick have to have a winning record for the week in order for us to win the points for the week? Or is it as long as the player has a winning record better than the prick's?

As I understand it- if you made 4 picks, are + units, and beat the Prick, you are in the points share for the week. Currently something like 600 people are + units, but I'm sure not all made 4 picks

All you need is a winning unit number which is better than the prick.

If the prick has a losing record, like he often does, anyone in the positive wins a share, and the share depends on the amount of people winning and how many units they won.

[ballparkbabe]

woohoo

[secretstash]

lol prick went 1-3...so we all get 10pts or so or wut?

pricks suck

[HauntingTheHoly]

I went 3-0-1, with the push being by "best (x2) pick" - so I'm up 3 units. Don't see any points given to me anywhere, though.

[eidolon]

is there really 1700 ppl in this contest? wow. Congrats SBR

There's still Monday Night Football... points get awarded on Tuesday

The week isn't over yet.

Points are awarded after the week ends. IOW, on Tuesday.

[tblues2005]

I don't know how this is going to work though this year. I guess we all get to split up this 50,000 points by units I guess. I know that there is going to be quite a few players that had a winning record this week that will get to split this so it may not be that much.

Ah, duh. I didn't play BTP last year. So hopefully as many people as possible who are competing with me still will LOSE tomorrow, right?

Basically

I am currently around 600th, going 2-2 with a +.90 units... there's a LOT of people splitting this lol. I'll be happy to see 20 points at most

[LUCKYCHUCK]

well i went 4-0 in week one. bring on week 2

[Roadtrip635]

Anyone else having problems when they click on the "standings" tab? It doesn't show anything, just has contest rules etc. off to the right. I'm at 2-0-1 and +3 units and wanted to see who's ahead of me and number of units.

Same problem with the weekly cappin contest, can't see standings. I know I'm in 12th with 2 picks left for tomorrow, but can't see how many units I am from top 10.

[SBR_John]

The guys will be in the office shortly. Give it an hour and a half.

Before the US re attacked the industry we had a LOT of sponsors. See how many we have this year: 0 as in none. We will still dole out over $55,000 to keep it the best on the net.

Keep in mind Prick beaters split 50,000 points a week BUT Pro's are paid double.

So is the 50,000 split evenly among all who win (except that pro get double) or will the people who went 4-0 get more than those who are 3-1 for instance?

This has always happened to be me on my netbook for some reason, while it works on my other computer.

It's divided based on units. 3-1 and 4-0 both win, but 4-0 wins more.

[d2bets]

Interesting to see the overall record 51.21%. I imagine it's a sure thing that the final record will be somewhere in the 49-52% range overall.

48 guys are already a perfect +5 units. Kinda low actually. Figure we'll see 2 or 3 still perfect after next week.

It's divided based on units. 3-1 and 4-0 both win, but 4-0 wins more.

So let's say there are 600 people in the money (points). They combine to be up a total of 1,000 units. 50,000/1,000=50. So then each person would get 50 points per unit won. So if was +2.9u I would get 50*2.9=145 points. If I was +5u I'd win 250. If I was +0.9 then I'd win 45.

Is that roughly how it's calculated?

Based on the past history, I'd guess final overall percentage to be between 48 and 49%, and for the overall units to be roughly -4000.

In fact, for anyone wanting to bet, I'd bet overall % is under 50% and that the amount lost will exceed 2500 units.

Yes.

Multiply the number of 5 unit winners X 5, 4 unit winners X 4, etc...add all the units up then divide by 50,000. This is points/unit. Multiply by number of units won. Double it, if u r a SBR pro.

Simple as that!

Or wait until Tuesday and Lou will have it figured out and posted!

We are all going to be rich tomorrow. Make plans on how to spend your points.

Wow I didn't know that. I would have guessed collectively we'd be able to pick just north of 50%, though certainly - units after the juice. Maybe I'll bet you on the 50% thing. So anything over dead even I won; under you win. How much of a bet did you have in mind?
