Should GmGirl be allowed to play in 256 Man Tournament ?

I believe if two people put their minds together using a single entry in the contest has an advantage against their opponent who is battling alone. This rule is actually an asset for the gmgirl household and not a discrimination.

Just wanna say thanks to all sbr Mods and everyone else who posted their 2cents. I do understand both sides of the argument and am fine with both of us not playing! I just didnt want to ask and be told know without making some sort of effort to pleed my case! And Im gonna play in the contest and gmguy said he would back out!

I voted yes.

But, Bill brings up an excellent point. You need sportsbook accounts to play -- and the books limit you to one per household. So, it's really not even SBR's rule that matters.

Exactly why I offered doing what I said in post 17#

I'd like to see both posters in the contest. We get these going to keep the forum growing and to keep it fun for our valued posters, which both certainly are. But, due to the nature of the contest the rules have to decide. The rule is there for obvious reasons and we can't get around it.

Hopefully you guys can work it out and find that even if you split contests in this format or made your picks together it's still a good time. I think SBR can even toss in a small prize for you guys to capp-off in a play-in round.

There is also the issue of the sportsbook rules. Most books will only allow one account per household so there is a matter of being ineligible for the three needed accounts before you start.

If that's the address you use with the sportsbooks and they say you are eligible, and you make your picks there, that should be fine.

If only one of us gets to play, I am leaving SBR for good. I still think that this is unfair. Its not the fact of him letting me play or not we are both here to have fun. I have posted plays and you can see best bets etc i have my records there, I play more in baseball season so that's why you might not see many plays I make now.

Even if we do follow the rules and do the one household rule, My books are registered to our San Jose address and GM's have our Santa Cruz address. You can go ahead and check. So I should be allowed to play, rules are being followed since we do have one address each in our sportsbook that are completely different from each other. This is very unfair that I am not allowed to play because we are still following the rules.

I want to make this very clear, we do have the sportsbook's registered to 2 different addresses Gm's different from mine, so I am allowed to play just SBR making excuses to not let me play. I give permission to SBR to check with the books that will be submitted for this contest for both GM and I to verify that we both have different addresses on the books.

Also SBR you have both of our addresses. Willie bee sent us the 2 barreled in shirts to our San Jose address the chat trivia that ended up freezing up because too many people were on. CrazyL sent GM his prize for the longest streak contest in November to our Santa Cruz address so that also verifies we have 2 different addresses.

Yes she should, and if she wears that tight purple dress in that 1 pic while making her selections, that would really hot! Gmguy no disrespect big fella.

gmgirl2022,

I am willing to play your plays under my name if this contest means so much to you. You can PM the plays and I will post them in my contest thread. The rule is there for a reason and you can't threaten SBR regarding this matter. One household rule is good because it discourages fraud.

If my suggestion is not enough then you may consider hiring a divorce attorney and proceed with filing for a divorce so you can play in the free contest. Then you can sue SBR in a civil court for destroying your marriage for a free contest.

One household rule is the rule! But we are saying that rule doesnt apply to us as stated above. And to say it discourages fraud in this situation is crazy. We arent trying to pull a 360 on anyone get an advantage on anyone we just wanna be able to both play, even if stipulations have to be in place!

Thank you for the offer Pavy but thats not the point nor do I wanna make plays through someone as that is more wrong than us both playing in a contest! I just want my voice heard and be treated equally if we play by the rules as Dozer said before!

I am not trying to make enemies nor upset anyone, I just want the same offers that this board offers to everyone else who plays by the rules. SBR told us we cant have 2 people in the same house hold, we dont, SBR told us both account cant be link to the same mailing address/address they arent. I just wanna know if thats the case why we both cant play?

I agree with you that your intent is not fraud. You have to understand that the rule was not put in the contest for you in mind; you just happened to fall in the rule inadverterly.

The rule is put their so someone who is a contest whore will not sign up his kids, wife, grandma, etc when in fact he will be making all the plays in the contest for them and you end up having SBR (and all the sportsbooks sponsoring the contest) having to deposit winnings to multiple accounts from the same household which is against the sponsoring sportsbooks rules.

I believe if the price for the contest did not involve free bets from sportsbooks and it was just SBR gear it wouldn't have been a problem.

daggerkobe · 12-03-08, 05:33 PM

If they have two separate betting accounts with different addresses then i dont see why she cant play.

Anyways i'd rather lose my spot to an SBR regular than to an EOG paid scumwhore like Sportsrag like in the previous contest.

If my books all have one address which is legit and verified as well as gm2022. Than how is anyone depositing winnings from the same house hold? Both with SBR and with the Sportsbooks! We both have money in Sports book account under my name as well as gm accounts too.Now I understand that my % of money compared to gms is lil to nothing!

I just think with what Ive said in past post qualifies both of us to play under the rules given for this contest! I understand it can be a gray area but given what I have said I still dont think I would break any rules with SBR or the sponsoring sports books!

Bill inferred that it would be OK if you posted from your respective addresses and also that your sportsbook accounts matched your respective addresses. From what you've posted, that would seem to be the case.

Now, let's find a way of getting PU, PN and PA into the contest.

englishmike · 12-03-08, 07:55 PM

I understand why this rule exists but it is a shame because this couple have an immense amount of integrity, don't bullshit and never have a bad word to, or about, anyone. Bearing in mind there are available spaces, If ever a rule was to be bent this would be an ideal time to do it with the couple opposing each other in the first round.

Just my two cents, I understand SBR are in a difficult position.

Robyn · 12-03-08, 09:23 PM

I am really confused. I thought Bill said it would be OK for both of them to play if they both have two different accounts registered at two different addresses? Gmgirl, why are you still upset?
