Pretty nice deal, $100 freeplay for 5, I could see them modifying this in the near future if too many people win those.

I think those prizes(5, 10, 15 and 25) are only awarded once for each player.

can you get one of each though?

**thetrinity** · 05-28-14, 02:11 PM

it looks like each prize can be won for each streak, standard rollover applies im sure

Yeah, you can win each of those prizes, but only once.

I think SBR should have a contest like this throughout the year, just like at Covers.

Where does it say you can only win each once?

I'm sorry, that's my bad... I just asked 5dimes CS, and he said that:

If you win the "5" and after that you lose
yes you can win the "5" again

**yisman** · 05-28-14, 03:22 PM

you can only win once as non-active

if you make bets you can win multiple times. There is no such limit on only being allowed to win once.

**Stefan** · 05-28-14, 04:23 PM

Does anyone knows whether placing bets with SBR money counts for this promotion?

Pretty sure it would.

**Stefan** · 05-28-14, 06:27 PM

I asked the support to prevent myself for a bad surprise. Wagers placed with SBR cash do not apply for this promotion.

HAHA i thought about this it would be smarter to just take the item at least the first time lol

**Ho Le Fuk** · 05-29-14, 07:38 AM

what time do they put the picks out?

**Roy Halladay** · 05-29-14, 07:54 AM

Thanks for the heads up!

**unluckysob** · 05-29-14, 08:01 AM

if you cash this---probably kills cash back rebates, and 8th deposit on the house.

Why would you ask them to add a rule that wasn't there?!

Some people

Do they give you the full prize once for non active or non active can only collect $5 freeplay once?

**cmaulsby** · 05-29-14, 10:15 AM

Best thing that ever happened to me was the Bookmaker streak contest. Forced me to be extremely selective as you don't need to make a pick every day to keep the streak alive - 1 bet every 7 days is required.

**thetrinity** · 05-29-14, 10:21 AM

sbr should get something like this going as opposed to that stupid lottery shit they have.

I didn't ask them to add a rule, I just wanted to clarify the situation before I run into the trap.
Some people are carefully when the rules are not clear and some people play no matter what the rules are and cry when they realize that they don't fulfilled the requirements.

**Wilfred** · 05-31-14, 12:22 AM

Wonder what kind of "prizes" they offer

**relaaxx** · 05-31-14, 07:58 AM

no rollover on any prizes

**amolg24** · 05-31-14, 10:52 AM

Got 3 so far....trying to get to 5 so I can see the prize lol

**dtp** · 06-02-14, 12:25 AM

So I reached W5 today on my first 5 picks in this contest. Active 5d player. I thought that as you pass each milestone W5, W10, etc. that you would get each prize. But I went to live chat today and was told that you don't receive any prize until after you lose your streak, and you only get the one prize that's the highest amount. Like if you get a W13 then lose,you only get the $250 fp.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-02-14, 12:57 AM

Started tonight with the easiest play on the board - NHL Over 5. Good luck to everyone trying this.

This is what it says under Prizes:

Betting Streaks of 5 wins will be awarded a $100 Valued Item .

Betting Streaks of 10 wins will be awarded a $250 Valued Item.

Betting Streaks of 15 wins will be awarded a $500 Valued Item.

im not surprised actually at this, since you only have to make 1 real bet within 24 hours of the start of the streak. this has more realistic payoffs then the dsi contest has IMO.

**swordsandtequila** · 06-02-14, 11:45 AM

No surprise, I understood it to mean 1 prize for any particular streak. Would have 5 and counting if I trusted my gut, instead took France/Paraguay over 2 and had to sweat a push. Good luck everyone.

**thetrinity** · 06-02-14, 01:49 PM

ya i ****** up saturday and lost a 3 game streak and won sunday. this contest is actually better then dsi, granted theres no 25k at the end of the rainbow.

**dtp** · 06-02-14, 02:48 PM

Update: I actually received an email today, the day after my W5, from 5D saying that I was eligible for the W5 prize. Got a list of items they'd send to my house or else I could choose the FP. Can't complain about that!
