SBR Triathlon: 4 to 1 Blackjack, Tuesday 9PM-10PM ET

d2bets · 04-06-13, 12:07 PM

Why doesn't SBR let people pick their hour? I can't make it at that time. Good thing I have no hope anyway.

GaryDN · 04-06-13, 07:51 PM

Awesome tourney ? Thanks SBR

GUMMO77 · 04-06-13, 08:08 PM

Nice cash, Gary.

I know this is more then likely not possible... but if by any chance it is, please let me know as well. My kid has a baseball game on Tuesday, and seeing that I'm one of the coaches, I won't be making the blackjack portion as well. Any chance we can get an alternate start time/day if we can't make that one? Would it be that hard to have this on Wednesday as well? Hell, I'll play tonight if that was the choice given.

Hi guys,

To clarify, absolutely no "hard" details were released. As mentioned previously, complete details would be posted near the event date --- here we are.

Setting a higher max would alienate those with smaller balances. This format gives all folks a better chance to roll the dice.

It is fairly simple. There's only going to be a single Blackjack game open all day Tuesday, so not only can a guy not enter the wrong game, there's additionally no possibility of any other BJ variation skewing the stats.

All you do is show up, play the only Blackjack game in the casino, and enjoy the 4-1 Blackjacks. We'll post the scoreboard after the hour is up and will be turning the game off immediately at that time. Tell me how you think we'll go wrong and I'll be happy to consider.

So is it who ever has the most point won after an hour?

Can we stop after a good streak and keep the total?

What if we run out of points?

Yes, the winner is the user with the most net winnings during the hour.

You can certainly stop after a few hands if you like. But, at 1 point max, the eventual winner probably breaks a sweat.

The expectation is that after a couple months of poker play & with the hoops payouts, those with a chance at capturing the Triathlon Championship have enough points to play. Those with only a couple points to their name may want to sit this one out & look forward to the announcement of the World Poker Cup. =P

OK, thanks.

But the hoops contest payouts are sportsbook freeplay???

no it's Tuesday

eberetta1 · 04-09-13, 01:36 AM

Guess I'll be muliti-tasking. I have a 9:30 poker game and maybe I will have lost my 7:00 poker game by 9:00. Hope everyone gets two face cards.

eidolon · 04-09-13, 03:24 AM

why not just 1000 bets? or 5000 bets?

Kaabee · 04-09-13, 09:32 AM

little early to shut the other games off, no?

VegasInsider · 04-09-13, 09:42 AM

Once again, SBR, you have effectively proven that you're one big clusterfukk and can't run any contest/event with minimal problems. This is the most ass-backwards blackjack tournament I've ever seen. We play poker for 3 goddamn months and now we have to be available for 1 specific hour on a random Tuesday. People have lives and it doesn't revolve around SBR.

What a joke.

milwaukee mike · 04-09-13, 10:06 AM

^^ quite a large portion of the poker points was based on one tournament that some people had to miss

the date and time was announced months ago

changing the rules from 5 pt max to 1 pt max was really silly

Yup Timmmy won that tourny and is now 1 position above me with half as many cashes! I personally don't care because this was free to enter- but there are some things that are frustrating

a4u2fear · 04-09-13, 11:03 AM

No what's frustrating is that poker is such a huge factor, you have people with 40 cashes near the top of the leader board who had nothing better in life todo than play poker everrrrry day while the rest of us effectively beat the books in basketball bettig

easyliving · 04-09-13, 11:05 AM

how many hands should we able to get down in the hour does anyone know the average?

a4u2fear · 04-09-13, 11:40 AM

When will hoops contest free plays be awarded?

Edit by SBR Forum: They are in.

Lol at the crying

You should've played poker

Would've saved you all the money you lost betting

milwaukee mike · 04-09-13, 01:10 PM

^^

not sure how you were beating the books at 11pm, but if your time was better spent on that then so be it. not too difficult to play sbr poker while checking lines, working, etc

Capybara · 04-09-13, 01:29 PM

One point max??! Oh come on, are you kidding me? I love these promos but that makes me prioritize pretty much everything over playing furiously fast blackjack for an hour. When it was 10 or even 5, then okay, maybe you can make a nice dent. This is just silly. A point equals, what, a penny???? Just how de-evolved do you think we are?

goldengreek · 04-09-13, 01:33 PM

So we just enter the regular SBR Casino and go to blackjack ? We will all be given a predetermined balance to start ?

I believe we use our own points.

Everyone uses their own points. Correct, blackjack in the SBR casino. Only one game will be activated (single-deck Blackjack).

k13 · 04-09-13, 02:29 PM

Can we get updated triathlon standings with the hoops contest now finished?
