    SBR BEST BET Contest 2013

    http://contests.sportsbookreview.com/sbr-bes...-contest-4271/

    Entry fee is 30 points.

    Take your single best bet of the day from MLB, NFL, CFB, NBA, CBB or NHL between now and the end of the calendar year. All plays will be RISK, so if you play a -500 favorite, you are risking 1.00 to win 0.20. You are not required to play every day but you must make at least 185 plays to be eligible to win points. Contest ends 12/31/13.

    How is it possible

    To have a Best Bet Contest when all available, playable games are not offered?
    I refer to today's incomplete NBA card.
    Get them up there or you don't have a Best Bet contest at all.

    Incomplete Card in a Best Bet Contest?

    Why is the NBA card incomplete?

    Soccer line feeds are too unstable to be included. Heck, if we had reliable lines, I would include all leagues possible from tennis to WNBA to CFL to MMA.

    I believe I have seen games that did not have overnight lines get added late in contests before. All 6 games are available in SBR Book right now, and Book and Contests are supposed to both be fed from SBR Odds.

    I know NHL line service is reliable because there are no games.

    I just need to rant a little

    1. Apparently SBR does not have a an automatic feed set up for the contest or lines that opened in the morning would not be so late being presented to us, the players, who need to play to advantage.

    2. Apparently the lines are from Bookmaker, which is the worst possible money line you can play into. Why not pinnacle, or if you need a U.S. eligible book, 5Dimes or BetOnline? Since we play to our best advantage whenever possible, why shouldn't that be the contest format as well?

    20 cent money lines will be a real pain when baseball rolls around.

    OK, got that off my chest. Comments welcome, just don't tell me it won't make any difference. 10 cent lines on spreads versus 20 cent money lines could determine the winner of the whole contest.

    You play all year long to win 600 points????

    If you win this contest, you must be pretty damn good.
    You can just take that 30 point and turn it into thousands in a year..
    6,000 points..I would think about it..

    See Post #9. And what I didn't mention was that soccer scores don't update themselves.

    Somebody needs to fix the Main Page of this contest so that the rest of us can view it.

    The standings are showing up fine on each browser.

    Try hitting CTRL 0 to restore 100% page view. Also, clear cookies/cache if a problem persists.

    Are you guys good now? I noticed last week that Standings were not appearing in IE, which I never use anymore but I figured I'd take a look anyway. So I just looked in IE again and now the standings are up. Was it fixed accross the board?
