    that would be a good idea if it was cash. but where do you think everyone would get that many points in a short amount of time? it's not a matter of "manning up" it's a matter of not being able to get that many points when sbr only gives 12/day (over 200 days worth of points).

      Think the teams is a good idea for people who don't have enough to go alone

            Nearly a full month between the time the contest was announced and the deadline to enter. Not difficult to come up with 2,500 points in a month if someone really wants to play.

            Just silly seeing the same few guys on every team.

              fair enough, and if i were running the contest i would say 2 teams max per person or something like that, just so that someone isn't pretty much guaranteed a victory by joining every team.

              but the rules are the rules, hard to criticize people for taking advantage of them, since i'm doing the same thing. even if i had 5000 points right now i would probably do 10 different 10% entries and 1 100% entry.

                          Lou, how about a few free play prizes for place 4th-7th or so.


                          You could even institute a rule against using the freeplays in 3 team parlays or whatever is needed

                                            Hi guys,

                                            Yes, we did decide to modify the rules to allow more time for entries, but I can promise you that the original post is fully up to date. All the info you need is there.

                                                        How come lines don't get posted until 12/17 and deadline is 12/20 when there are games on 12/15?

                                                                I'd guess $5000 is worth about 100k in points... Add that to the 50k and 25k for second and third respectively and the total pot is 175k.

                                                                175k / 2.5k = 70 entries worth in the pot

                                                                Add in juice, store markup, and other variables. I'd say anything under 50 entrants is definitely +EV.

                                                                55 would be acceptable but anything above 60 would be bad.

                                                                      How come lines don't get posted until 12/17 and deadline is 12/20 when there are games on 12/15?

                                                                      First 2 bowl games dont count
