[sportsfanatic]

do those playing for sbr points compete against those playing for real money in the rankings? if so it's going to be harder for those playing for real money because of the increase in the number of people in the contest.

Don't want to sound like a broken record but there seemed to be a lot of confusion in the other thread regarding the $200+ balance which never got answered properly, and I am curious myself. Is it A or B?

A. Hypothetically, if you deposited months ago, got your balance to $200, and also received $100 promotional prize money that got combined with the deposited balance, you would need a balance of $300 to qualify?

B. Or is any balance over $200 that is a combination of deposited and non deposited promotional funds okay?

[will2survive]

would like confirmation as well

deposited $100 for beat the prick, made some bets and won some contest $, currently $395 in account

[Trucker George]

Now this is a contest! Will definitely be signing up for this.

[pmidy88]

oo i cant wait for this to star

[Trucker George]

Just noticed it is 7 plays max per week, 2 of which are 3 unit plays.

So every week 1st place will end up being several players who happen to go 7-0 that week for +11 units. The 3 criteria will all be the same for each 1st place contestant: units (+11), # of wins (7), and win percentage (100%).

For better or worse, this means there is likely that every week's contest will be decided by action points. This is a consequence of having 7 max plays per week and having a couple of hundred players in the contest.

Not complaining here, just an observation.. Or maybe I am reading the rules incorrectly?

One of the things that in undeniably good is the (sportsbook) cash prizes are deep, going 25 places per week. Should be easy for everyone to win.

[borednaz]

Made my deposit last night. BOL to everyone.

[THE PROFIT]

okay, I thought I already asked this & came back looking for an answer, but my post has disappeared.

I deposited $200 to become PRO & BTP in September. I still have over $200 in there, so Im good to go, right????

This....never got a answer.

[thadchr]

Thanks SBR!

Also, I'm understanding the rules the same way as Trucker George... and it's also fine with me, but does seem strange. Any word from the Mods?

[dinaro7]

[THE PROFIT]

[Glitch]

[BigDaddy]

25% sportsbook
175% poker
100% casino

[WeinketoWarrick]

when will accounts be checked for the $200? 'cause i currently have $450 from a $250 deposit made before football, but don't wanna risk losing $250+ of it and falling below the $200 if accounts aren't checked until way late in the contest..

[ZetaPsi808]

damn i have to go to ** for this contest!

[korbal29]

great contest thanks

[aceking]

what about my case :

Aug 2010 = Starting balance $0 , deposit $50 cash for Beattheprick = new balance $50 .
Sep-Dec 2010 = won $135 prizes in Beattheprick = new balance $185 .
Dec 2010 = won NFL bets = new balance $360 .

So my $360 balance comprise of $225 real-cash and $135 promotional money ? ( I still have $304 worth of rollover to be done .)

Am I qualified without depositing another $50 ? Can SBR mods confirm this ?

[SBR Lou]

B. Or is any balance over $200 that is a combination of deposited and non deposited promotional funds okay?

The $200 balance must be comprised of 100% deposited cash. Having a $50 cash balance with +150 in promo money would not count toward the funding requirement.

[SBR Lou]

Your eligibility will be checked with your join date.

You are all good. Anyone with $200 in the account after the 8th will be fine. If not up to $200 a single deposit for $50 will be required.

The idea is that you dont have to withdraw your own money and put $50 back but are still an active depositing player. No one is going to lose their prize on a technicality.

[hhsilver]

Will we know if we are ok before we get a win in the contest? I think in BTP you didn't verify until the first win.

From the opening post in this thread:

"If a poster already has a $200 balance, comprised of real-cash, he/she does not need to make the $50 deposit. Posters with less than $200 balances must redeposit $50 to be prize-eligible."

" real-cash" , i hope that includes winnings after the original deposit.

My case is similar to aceking's above and his question hasn't been answered yet (unless it's being answered as I type).

My case :
deposit = 100 ,
current balance = 678 ,
BTP wins = approx 220 ,
got up with my earliest plays and never needed to "use" BTP money to make plays.

I hope my "real-cash" is considered to be current balance - BTP wins >>> 678 - 220 = 458.

Is this ok?

[danso]

If I make an account and deposit via **, what is the best method of withdrawal if I happen to win (and meet the rollover requirements)? Thanks guys

[SBRtv Judie]

[yisman]

I didn't know Katy (?) was still working for sbr.

I'm going to make another deposit soon to qualify for this and the bowl contest.

Ya what a crap shoot......

Having action points deciding prize differences between hundreds of dollars

C'mon Lou fix that buddy!

[WDR]

what happens if 7-0 round winners pick the very same games and have same amount action points how would you brake tie in this case?

[stevex]

Units won...?
