here's my 1st pick


pico -280 is a nut.

nicky

pick: win +1.00
style: -10

grand total -9.00

[pico]

No style!!!!! ITS A blowout!!!

i know. but i was pretty worried 1st half.

[pico]

here is the current standing after day 1

[pico]

couple of things i am going to start enforcing tomorrow:

• 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".

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.

[Iwinyourmoney]

wait. ARe you saying games can not be posted no earlier than 1 hour before tip?

[Kingctb27]

Kansas State -5 (-108) Time is 11:59 CST

[pico]

wait. ARe you saying games can not be posted no earlier than 1 hour before tip?

it has to be 1 hour before. if the game goes offboard at 7:05pm. you must post your pick before 6:05pm.

[l7ustin]

for tomorrow:

Chicago Bears -3 +102

[pico]

for tomorrow:

Chicago Bears -3 +102

thanks for reminding me there is a NFL game on tomorrow

[Chi_archie]

bears over 44.5 + 101

[l7ustin]

over is -111 under is +101

[pico]

over is -111 under is +101

let him correct it before the game time.

i think starting tomorrow, i should implement wrong line penalty. if it is just a silly mistake...like confusing the over/under odds, then i might let it slide. if the person consistently try to cheat by putting up better lines, then i'll implement a -0.5 unit penalty.

i am putting you guys on the honor system. i trust the lines you put up is the real line.

in this case, i think he just got confused.
