    Brainstorming help needed. SBR's first annual World Championship of Betting contest
    Next year SBR will host the largest online betting contest the world has seen when we open our new odds site.

    The guaranteed payout will be exactly $1,000,000 in cash. Top 70 places cash. Winner receives $275,000 cash and is crowned as the best sports bettor in the world.

    The rest is still in planning. Here is my broad brush ideas;

    The entry fee $1,000. Limited to 700 teams. SBR will add the $300,000 overlay. All players in all regions invited.

    The championship will be Sept to May. Contestants can bet any major sport offered in the SBR Sportsbook. Probably be a restriction of a max on odds to prevent hail marys and conservative stretch run strategy to maybe 3-1 to 1-3.

    Probably be in the 777 picks range allowing 7- four unit plays, 70- three unit plays and 700 -two unit plays. Real time odds using an A rated book.(sponsor ytd)

                All plays one unit...

                Take the luck out of it...

                777 straight one unit plays...

                A play is a play...

                Great idea overall though!!!

                        I have not made 777 wagers in the last 3 years. I have always struggled in these types of things trying to find enough plays.

                          Team Entry's should have separate accounts with special log ins and passwords...

                          This way team members can share log in details and make plays without sharing SBR account info...

                          I plan on recruiting a team, but don't want to give them my password...

                                Pretty good stuff

                                SBR always ahead of everyone else

                                I might have to buy into this

                                    Good luck finding people giving you $1000 to hold for 9 months. Who guarantees than you won't use it to gamble in the stock market? Only way for me to enter is if the money is held in a vault at Fort Knox.

                                      Exactly. Trusting them would be like the betisland fiasco all over again. How do we know jon cheers isn't involved with holding the money. I do not like this

                                                  I agree, make it 777 1unit wagers.

                                                    Sounds like a great event, just too rich for many at SBR. I can't afford that (nor would I fork over $1K to a stranger after the BI fiasco)

                                                    Goodluck.

                                                        Great idea btw.

                                                        Disagree with the whole 777 1 unit plays. Original setup is better imo.

                                                            Me also. u show me a guy making that many plays in that span and i will show u a loser.

                                                                Will the "live rankings" be available? If they aren't it would also go a distance preventing people from "playing it safe" and "chasing" etc.
