If your being charged 6 points on average per pick by SBR it will be hard to meet the minimum for 24 picks in 6 days if you dont have many points. Thats 145 SBR points in 6 days whereas if you start out with enough to ente and place one bet you can only hope to achieve the 6 daily points SBR gives you in 6 days (30 more points) and hope you beat enough spreads to even complete the contest

maybe not, its my first time playing it, but if its that obvious instead of flaming the point you could clarify the point instead

Fair enough...you simply "pay" the 10 point entry fee, then you make the picks as you may in the contest page itself ranking the plays 1 through 5 as stake....your 10 points is merely put into a pool w/ everyone else who joined and then divided up at the end amongst the winners whoever profit the most based on units, which, is determined based on how many plays you win/lose combined with however you chose to arbitrarily rank them using the stakes 1-5 as you choose.

The 10 points are the only points you need post up for the entire contest.

Hope this helps...and good luck with the contest.

Oh I see. I saw the "Risking" and "To Win" to the right and thought it was actually deducting SBR points for each pick. Thank you for clarifying sir.
