    Who wants to enter my private capping contest?
    need about 10 cappers. the rules are as follows:

    Rules:
    • max 2 play per day. contest is 7 days (1 week), and each capper has to make exactly 10 plays.(-1.1 unit penalty for each play under 10)
    • picks has to be posted 1 hour before the start of the game.
    • the odds you get is the pinnacle odds at the time you posted the pick on sbrlines.
    • each pick is consider as 1 unit wager. if you pick +150, you're risking 1 unit to win 1.5 unit. if you pick -165, you're risking 1.65 unit to win 1 unit.
    • odds has to be between -200 and +200
    • no editing post, just post a new post with correction.


    only NBA, NCAA BB, NHL, NFL, NCAA FB ml, spread and total (game, 1st half, 1st qrt only)

    Style Points (for every pick):
    • 1 unit: there is no doubt the side is covering from the beginning of the game
    • 0.5 unit: good win, but you have to sweat it out at some point during the game. <--this rule is scratched
    • 0.5 unit: bad beat. miracle last second screw job
    • -0.5 unit: ugly win or lucky win
    • -1 unit: side getting blown out bad



    Rule update:
    • picks has to be posted one hour before the start of the game. if it is posted within 1 hour then there will be a 0.1 unit penalty regardless win or loss.
    • Picks posted after the start of the game will count as a loss and a -1.0 unit deduction for "bad style".
    • Each repeated pick will recieve a 0.1 unit penalty if the pick won.
    • if you forgot to post the odds and does not post it before the start of the game(in a separate post), i'll give you 0.02 units deduction regardless win or loss because it is a hassle to look it up.


    if the time is close...like within 5 minutes, i'll let it slide. if you do it consistently, then i'll take action.

    Post your odds! I don't want to go to sbrline and check.

    if you have suggestions or comments, just post it in this thread. i am trying to make this work, so the prize round should go without any problems.

    You may post picks for another day: for example, if there is a line for sunday night football on thursday and you decide to make your pick on thursday. it is fine. You just need to make a note right next to your pick the date of the game. So in theory if the lines are out for friday, sat and sunday, you can make 8 picks on thursday (2 for thursday, 2 for friday, 2 for sat, 2 for sunday).

    the reason i am doing this is because holidays is coming up and people has to go places.



    I am doing all the grading and I have final say in any dispute.

    Prize:
    No prize for first contest because i am pretty sure there are lots of kinks to be worked out.
    I'll put up a cash prize of at least $50 USD for 2nd round if enough people sign up for first round and likes it.

              I was just kidding Pico.... looks really interesting... i don't understand the "style points" part.

              for example if you "sweat it out"... but win... you only get +.5 units?

                  and if you get blown out is that just a 1 unit loss or 2 unit loss?

                  lot of interpretation left open for those definitions...are you prepared for all the whining, and debating?

                      sweat it out you win count as ugly win, so you get -0.5 units style points deduction.

                            you get blown out and if the odds is -150, then that is 1 unit pentaly so it is -2.5 units

                              what if it is a +200 ml dog, that is close that you have to sweat out.... just getting to the point that you are sweating out a +200 dog is not a bad thing...but you still get a deduction?


                              what if you both sweat out AND get a bad beat in a game? what is the scoring there?

                              sorry my IQ is only like 56... i'm having trouble with all this

                                i am inventing the style point system, so just working out the kinks as problems arise.

                                what if you both sweat out AND get a bad beat in a game? what is the scoring there?
                                if it is a win, you get -0.5 units(ugly win). if it lost, you get 0.5 units (bad beat).

                                what if it is a +200 ml dog, that is close that you have to sweat out.... just getting to the point that you are sweating out a +200 dog is not a bad thing...but you still get a deduction?
                                good point. if the dog is leading the whole time then it is a good win. dog blowing out the fav rarely happens, so i guess unless something crazy happens, you max you can get is +2.5 units (with style points)

                                    Banning Nicky from the contest will solve 97% of the whining.

                                                              you should add the penalty for not getting the 10 picks in your rules, either dq or loss of units for missing plays

Still allow people to play the other side but it shouldnt be hard with basketball, football, and nhl to have enough games on the card to make 2 picks each a day per player! just my 2 cents
