    What happens if a non pro wins this? Do they win points?

        You must be an SBR PRO to win the year-ending cash.

        Non-Pros get to compete for their share of 50,000 in weekly points. If a Non-Pro submits a Pro application by the kickoff of the Monday Night Football game on October 2nd, he/she would be eligible for the year-ending cash provided the application was accepted.

                I know that the pricks pick will be taken off the board, but do we actually get to see what he has picked?

                Edit by Lou:
                You certainly do! However, the games he picked will be off the board.

                  Before players can make their picks, The Prick must pick first (Tuesday night?). When players then go to pick, they will see The Prick's selections. Both sides (so you can't tail or fade The Prick) will be greyed out and a middle finger appears next to the box that The Prick chose.

                      That would be too easy. Everyone wants to fade The Prick.

                      It's upsetting sometimes because I have a pick in mind for the contest and The Prick takes that spread or total, so I have to figure out another. It's only 4 a week (at least it was last year), so it's not so bad. Just with the NFL you're going to have usually 28 a week. Not sure what the story is with NCAA, but if The Prick takes four NFL, you still have 24 to pick out 4 from.

                        Me too. But it is usually the other side of what the Prick picked. Pisses me off.

                          Yeah, I mean either side. Sometimes I was going to bet the Prick's side, sometimes the other side. Either way, off the board.

                              Addendum to video:

                              You also have to finish in the positive in any given week to collect points for beating the Prick.

                              And you have to be a pro to be eligible for the grand prize.

                                It's tough to fit all that in the video. It's just a quick contest overview. The fine-print's in the thread and contest page.

                                  So there are no more weekly cash prizes...only points?
                                  Those weekly cash winnings were where the money was made....end of an era.

                                  BTP is just an ordinary pickem now....have fun!

                                      If you think 50,000pts a week (double for Pro) + a shot at a $10,000 in hard cash prizes is ordinary, I'd love to see what forum's contests you'll be playing in.

                                          Points are as good as cash. There is a store that you can claim the points for goods. Lets not be greedy. They don't need to offer you a contest. For me playing is the satisfaction I get from beating that hillbilly marble mouth football "expert" he calls himself The Prick.

                                                        I already use Bookmaker. Can i just toss another 2 hundo into there? I'm pretty sure I opened that account at an old BTP contest anyway...
