    Too many people at SBR. Few years ago it was fairly easy to be in the money, but now it's become a crap shoot. I know those old days won't come back, but this new setup is nothing more than exploiting the forum membership.

    If 400 people sign up Legends has its 20K back. SBR ends up with a chunk of the lifetime losses of the new accounts. That leaves the contestants scrambling for a few bucks. A far cry from the truly free contests SBR used to have. And a little too slick for me. Pass.

    To the almost inevitable reply that it's a free contest, so there should be no criticism or complaint. It's not a free contest. It's a pool. But this pool is set up in such a way that SBR and the book reap the benefits. And you really don't need to thank SBR for setting up a pool. The continuing metamorphosis of SBR is almost bizar for those who were here early.

    Great Contest, BUT....

    why don't some of these books work / donate together (for just ONCE) to substancially increase the prizeboard (for just ONE contest) and get all the members of SBR on board?!?

    Sure would be nice & something to look forward to. . . .most people can't / don't want to join all of the various contests because they don't want 18 accounts at different books

    Why do you guys always put a max on the number of plays that we can make? If you're going to use a cap, why is it always only a few plays a day? Why can't it be 8-10 plays/day or no cap at all? I was really interested in this contest when it said that there were only minimums, but there actually is a max. WHY?!?!? There are 15 games a day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    yeah I like the moneyball and BTP format, but monthly makes it not worth it for me. Still appreciate the contest though Lou, wish there was something weekly, then I would consider depositing.

    I agree with the earlier statement where the guys who are playing for points should have a different contest.

    If the ghost will continue to water down the cash prizes I will pass...moneyball was so ghost infested you had to go 7-0, 6-1 to think about a prize.wonder how many of the winners at the end got points instead of cash

    Legends is definitely legit. I wouldn't worry about using them for NHL.

    Legends is legit. Will give 25% bonus with 5x rollover - $200 min. Mention SBR and get 33% instead of 25.

    Nice contest - thanks Lou and Legends.
