Round 2 Rules and Information

[SBR Lou]

Round 2 will run from Tuesday to Monday.

Round 3 and beyond will run from Wednesdays to Mondays to include the entire football weekend and cap it off with Monday Night Football, and also to give those interested in the other sports before the weekend to get those plays in.

• You must make 7 plays for Round 2. If you make less than 7 plays, one unit will be subtracted from your record for every missing pick.
  
• We are ONLY allowing side/total correlated bets. Quite simply, what this means is you may ONLY pick i.e. (Cowboys -3, over 46). You cannot include halves, quarters, or anything other than full game, full total.
  
• There is no max on plays per day. You can make all 7 in a day if you so choose.
  
• You may NOT select the same game as your opponent. You may however select the opposite side , i.e. "fading them".
  
• Favorites will be graded to win one unit, while dogs will be risking 1 unit.
  
• ALL picks must be used from the daily lines thread. A unit one penalty and disregarding of play will be enforced if you use outside lines or if you past post.

I'm assuming baseball is the same max limits? -155 I think it was? Doesn't really state that in here.

More to clear up any misunderstanding of the correlated plays:
You can not play the same team twice in the same game. ie. runline and moneyline, first five and game, first half and game. If any player posts 2 plays on the same team/total then the play listed first will be graded and the 2nd one will be no action regardless of outcome.

If a play is listed on the same team or o/u after your opponent has listed the play then it will be graded no action regardless of the outcome.

Any play posted past the listed start time on the daily lines will be graded no action regardless of whether it is 1 minute or 30 minutes late.

5star's record is wrong from round 1, his last pick, the Pitts RL, was a loser. They lost 11-3, giving him a 2-5 record and me the win. I should be in round 2.

Even with that F up Spliff, I think he would have finished -1.14 & you at -1.23 assuming the Pirates were getting + money that day and not - odds.

The Pirates lost the game 11-3 so his record should be 2-5 -3.14. Last I heard you lose a unit for a losing pick.

[EaglesPhan36]

Oh wait. Yeah. My bad. Math, not my strong suit.


Another great job then.

Further explaining no action to take out any controversy:
Any play graded as no action will be graded as if that play had never been listed...win or lose that play is non-existent for grading purposes.

**If a game that is listed in the daily lines is not played on or before the last day of the contest and is listed as a play by anyone in the contest then that play will be graded as no action and a 1 unit penalty may be assessed if this is not corrected by the last day of the contest. When listing lines it can be easy to not notice the date that a play goes off since there is no divider for plays on different dates, so some games may slip through. As bettors we all know when a game that we are selecting goes off so be fully aware of what date the round ends on and when the selected game is to be played.
