There may be discrepancies in the rules however. I have heard that there are at least 3 different versions of this activity.Comment -

Actually, I AM still intersted. Read my comments in JJ's video thread.
Shall I type out new rules Nicky? And I'd like to keep it at 2K, no need to raise my stress level. Dealing with you should be stressful enough.

We agreed to SBR Odds as our line source. Nicky posted a line of +183. SBR Odds showed +181 at Nicky's timestamp. At the time, that was all the evidemce I had, and yet he was begging for the extra 2 cents. Rules are rules, and he was trying to bend them with his very first play.Originally posted by SlickFazzer
THEN, the next morning, the SBR Odds Archive DID show +183 at his timestamp. So going forward, I would wait until next morning to verify lines that do not match SBR Odds, and even add a secondary source in case the Archive is slow to load (maybe VI since they seemed to have the right time from the get-go).Comment -
As I have stated in another thread, which is quoted above, I think that a neutral person or group should be agreed upon by LT and Nicky.I am impartial... I like both of these guys.
I think that the two parties can reach a compromise if there is an adjustment to the rules since it seems that SBRLines feed does not receive ALL price changes, which does damage the integrity of the contest.
Nicky agreed to the rules, and to the use of SBRLines because he believed SBRLines would be picking up all up to the minute quick line changes. Since this is a battle of two experienced cappers, both parties realize that every point does matter. LT does have a point in saying that the rules did stipulate that SBRLines was to be used, he is indeed correct on that point. What, I believe is being misunderstood is that Nicky was playing the contest under false pretenses. I think that both LT and Nicky would agree that neither party cares if a side was bought by the individual, but what the price was when the post was made. Lets give Nicky the benefit of the doubt that he was indeed posting the true lines of Pinnacle, at the time he posted and since he believed that SBRLines was up to date that it would represent the price he bought. The integrity of the contest is thus compromised because the point was to determine who was the better capper. A major aspect in capping is finding the best price, and getting it while the getting is still good. If SBRLines is not giving accurate information (stale lines) then this contest is not fair to either capper.
That is just my take. I can see that their are two legit claims to this conflict and that neither side want's to be "taken".
I do agree with a previous poster that if a neutral party could judge the contest, this would be beneficial to both LT and Nicky. I also believe that a new set of rules should be created to deal with the problem that has developed, so that hopefully the neutral party will not even have to become involved.
If there is money on this at matchbook/wsex and 273 bets in there is another issue, you can't just stop unresolved, that would hurt the integrity of your contest especially since there is a considerable amount of money on it. Once the contest is commenced no one should be able to back out.Comment -
The quote from above was from yesterday when we didnt know if sbrlines picked up the +183Comment -

I think he is five years or so younger than me. But I managed to marry a woman nearly 10 years younger than me, so I guess my assgrabbing was successful.Comment
