    Anyone going to enter this year's Carib Classic?

    I've entered this so many times and still haven't cashed. But for a $200 entry fee, it has always felt like a super value. Anyone giving it a shot again this year?

    I thought they were out of the US market. I would definitely play in that contest otherwise.

    I liked that one also, seabourneq! I'd have a good week sooner or later and at least get something every season. Was always a good contest every year.

    Ten NFL picks a week is a lot. US players are still good to go. Carib a B book. So will enter this.

    It's a lot of work. You can't take a week off. If you also cap NCAAF you could be burned out midway through the season.

    Who told you that were not paying on time?

    Is this a rumor?

    I play every year, and it's fun. 2 of the last 3 years I was in the top 20(cashing) until the final week when I choked like a pathetic dog. I'll try again.

    Anyone else getting this message - """""The server www.caribsports.com at user requires a username and password.

    Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection)""""". - when they sign into Carib?

    I have not made a wager there since taking the Packers over the Steelers in the Bowl, and am reluctant to re-up with them upon reading the message above.

    Thanks!

    Relaaxx, Thanks man. I have been using them since the late 90`s and have never seen that message until two or three weeks ago. I have been waiting, hoping that it would eventually go away. I will call them before I re-load and inquire about the message and will reply here their response.
    Thanks again.

    I like the way they broke out the whole contest into a weekly contest as well for $5,000 weekly prize money...if you think it cost $10 per week to do the weekly contest than it is almost free for the entire year....I think i won once or maybe twice (shared in the weekly contest)...you get 5k if you go 10-0 or 0-10 in any week....there were plenty of winners that way over the entire season...
    I need to read the rules to see if it is like last year.
    I love the square games as well, especially the super bowl...$100, $250 and $500 squares on that....have won 3 times in the last 4 superbowls anywhere from 10-20k and NEVER had a problem getting paid...last check I got was in June and they are pretty quick...

    you normally get a reload bonus on all deposits....if it is 10% than it covers your fees...

    I reread the rules...the weekly contest is $15 per week so at 18 weeks it would cost $270 to enter each weekly contest...think of it as you are prepaying for this...
    I read the rules and you do get 5k if you go 0-10 again...
