Not exactly BTP ...

I stopped playing after like December, very poorly ran. Every time I went to make plays the fukkin software wasn't working.

The software is working fine now. And the contest is pretty easy, once you get the hang of it. I don't understand why SBR has all but forgotten about it, and I'd like to see how many players beat the book with this each month.

poorly run LMFAO! do you guys bitch about free money all the time? it is run just fine and they get about 40 players paid every month in like 2-3 days after the contest is up for the month find another site that can do that?

i guess it did go down to $2500 just noticed that but still its free ****ing money and you guys bitch?

don't play then is all i can say

Better that it's not talked about on the forums as the end result is a bigger slice of the prize pool for each participant.

The standings can be found daily here: http://www.sbrcontests.com/ (site appears to be down right now).

Winnings are credited to the sportsbook you initially opened an account (or were allowed to use an existing account if you were already a member of each sponsor book) with for BTP.

Aside from the software being down, which is a far too frequent problem, it's a nice little contest that's extremely easy to make some money.

I'm guessing the prize pool for the NBA contest being cut in half this month is a result of the March Madness contest, which is also worth 5k, being held simultaneously.

Thanks for the info.

The contest is nice, and opened my eyes to something I had not seriously considered before.

I've been enjoying the contest as well. Less than week ago, the prize information suddenly changed to $2,500. I wonder if February prize will be halved or does the new prizepool count only from March onwards? Oh well, It's free money courtesy of SBR, so not a big deal either way. Thanks for the contest!

This contest is one of the best!

SBR is the best contests place in the world, period.

Thanks a lot for it!

The March contest prize was lower due to the dip in activity between Football and the start of March Madness but Feb is as advertised $5,000. March was listed at $2,500. It was good to see many of the posting regulars clean up!

We have a new contest format coming out that will be even better and bring the action back to the forum.

i'd never heard of it...

Thanks Bill , I have cashed in 3 of the 4 NBA contests and made over $600 in each of the BTP contests.

Love the free money

I think that's kind of the point. You have to go looking for it. There is no publicity.

If you want to publicize something, you need to at least announce it. You need to wave your arms in the air and get our attention. You need to give progress reports. You can't be counting on people browsing around sub-forums and clicking random links because many of us simply don't do it.

Now if they actually want it to be very secretive and mainly for forum fixtures, they are going about it the right way. That is what DH is acknowledging - and questioning. I agree it is odd to be so secretive about something like that.

If more participants were being attracted, it seems to me that would be more sign-ups for SBR and the sponsors - good for them - and there could be more prize money available - good for players.

I think DH has a great point. I had the same misgivings about the secrecy surrounding Beat The Prick this year (where the prize money was also way down).
