        i disagree if it's also on hockey and baseball.

        if it's not, it doesn't affect me, as i never play football/basketball MLs anyway.

                          I say max of -1000 or something like that........ It's the ML fav's like 3, 4, 5k that are ridiculous and shouldn't be allowed.

                            I agree with -300/+300, no one is being prevented from listing a wager as a best bet, but it insures that wild fluctuations in the standings don't occur due to fluke plays. I've always looked at the Best Bet thread as SBR's best barometer of handicapping skill, and in order to keep it honest you have to establish an element that reflect a good handicapper's ability to money manage. This ML rule is precisely that element that's been missing. A Best Bet entry should never be such that everyone has lingering doubt as to whether the poster would even put real money on it.

                              I agree with this, no one bets a -1500 so why put it out there as your best bet. You are just trying to pad your w/l record and it's misleading.

                                  Nah, no point in arbitrarily restricting it like that. It's not like there is prize money involved.. and a lot of basketball moneylines are outside of that range.

                                      wow you guys are almost as worse that the nazi's we call government. The best bet thread is a long going thread to have fun in. Not to regulate and ****ing jerk off too. Let the guys have fun, long run which the thread is going they will lose. It's not a lie. God damn the members here are worse than the moderators. Why does everyone have to be attacking someone else here?

                                        Agreed, too many rules = no fun.

                                        I lost a -600 favorite today in the best bet thread (celtics).

                                          I voted "no" to the new rule. All of my bets are straight -110 sides or totals but if a guys' best bet of the day is a -900 favorite then so be it. It's your record in the long run that counts...if you're good you'll be up units after 100 or so bets, if you're bad you'll be down.

                                            there are a few people who feel taking those huge ML in football and hoops like a -5000 burn are a little too much

                                            take it easy with nazi's govt ....not that big of a deal just trying to please everyone ....this isnt some type of crisis or something

                                            dont make it out more to be than it is

                                                    If ......

                                                    If a REPUTIBLE sportsbook(JustBet.com, Bookmaker.com, BetUS.com, LegendzSports.com, Sportsbook.com, BetJoint.com) is willing to book the play then you should monitor it.

                                                    If you want to change the rules it should say post your BEST BET for tonight that you will be actually wagering on yourself. That will get rid of all of the -300 favorites.

                                                    Of course If you turned this thread into something where you actually had to bet money on your picks then only about twenty-five(25) of us would be posting plays which is better then EOG where I believe NOBODY(less then 5%of posters) wager on a regular basis.

                                                      You can still bet money lines but no more than a -300 favorite or a +300 dog

                                                      Since i dont know how to start a poll on here just post below if you agree/disagree with this ruling.

                                                          Kaps I voted yes but its not real big to me either way if you do change it I think you should still be able to bet the ones more than 300 just anything more than 300 grades 300 say its 500 you only get the max of 300 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!but you guys do the grading for us so either way fine with me, again thanks to all the graders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                            I'll be starting a new contest if this thing gets voted down, for the serious cappers. The best bet contest standings should show who the best cappers are. If we had a newbie come in and take a look at the standings he would think Pico is the man with his record and thats bullshit, period.

Simply recording the change from the year end standings for 2008 to the year end standings next year would give us our measurement. By keeping the old standings we would also be able to hand out the other award which I think is missing, "Most Improved Handicapper of the Year".
