      So starting Sept. 1, two $25 bets on two different games won't do, it has to be at least one $50 on at least one game? Unusual math if so.

            The new $50 bet requirement takes effect tomorrow for those interested in the 5-win prizes.
            I emailed asking if they might include some tennis sides or totals during this final week of the US Open, but so far no reply.

              Has anyone reached 5 wins recently and are the prize options the same? Thank you.

                  Isn't the freeplay a better option?

                    As long you win and subsequently cash it out (not lose it). If there is a prize you like better....I have the headphones, speaker and radar detector from the old group of prizes, then that works and is guaranteed.

                        $50 freeplays translate to $38 actual cash if you use the parlay method that has been shown to obtain the maximum value from freeplays.

                        The iPod Shuffle sells new on Amazon and eBay in the $40's. I won two of them and in both cases preloaded them with some songs from my iTunes library, and I was able to sell them for $59 and $69 on eBay.

                        So it is only a small difference when choosing freeplay or merchandise. If you take the merchandise (to sell, to keep, or to give as a Christmas gift) I guess it's more or less the equivalent of getting a free payout. The iPods I received were shipped from Amazon and I received in less than a week.

                          New $50 betting requirement stinks for small timers like me. Oh well, still free stuff i guess.

                            Pick a day game for your contest selection.

                            If it wins, choose an evening game to middle. ($50 at 5dimes and $50 at another book).

                            It will only cost you $5. Occasionally you will hit the middle and make $50. You only have to do this when you are starting a new streak.

                                      that's my 2nd out after Pinny, pal

                                      but I had nothing to bet on about a week ago and just now picked up the pace with NHL betting

                                      I literally missed the deadline by 2 hours...silly rule

                                      now on top of everything I need to somehow kill this streak first, before I can start a new one that will count

                                        I'm a bit the same. Most of my bets have been on NASCAR and F1 so regularly no bets a few days per week there. I am going for a 5 streak today with Over 5 in Devils/Panthers... hope I placed a bet on starting day

                                            It's possible to delay your $50 wager until after winning your 2nd contest pick. For your 1st pick use a west coast NHL or NBA game. For your 2nd pick use a morning or afternoon soccer match. If both win, you will still have several hours to make a $50 bet on an event which is within 24 hours of your 1st contest pick.

                                              Small-time gambler here, just do it as a hobby. Been on 5dimes awhile and just found out about this betting contest today, excited to get into it.

                                              My wagers are like $10 on average, I just do it for fun, I have like $150 in my account.

                                              Should I bet $50 on like a -900 tennis favorite or something after I get a 1st win in the contest? What's a good strategy for a guy like me for this?

                                                  So if your first pick wins, you have 24 hours to bet with real money in order for the streak to count? I don't bet every day. Only on NFL. Is there a minimum for that first bet?

                                                      there is only one bet, it's the first bet. after that your streak is fine. and there is no minimum to make your streak start "counting", but if you want to be eligible for the $50 prize at 5-streak you have to wager at least $50 for your bet

                                                        I see. I'll bet a college game Saturday and my normal Sunday bets so there is no extra betting on my part to qualify the start of a streak. Thank you.

                                                          Maybe find a line really close to even money and bet $50 on each side. Not sure how much luck you would actually have finding one though.

                                                            yeah i mean you could even place a $50 bet a few days early on an NFL game, the bet just needs to be placed within 24 hours of the first win, it doesn't need to be graded

                                                              so five $5 wins pays $100? nice. has to be a catch otherwise you could just bet big favorites and cash in.

                                                                      When I didn't have one, I got it to 5, they said no prize, and then I tried to bust out. Wound up reaching 8 and losing.

                                                                      I did receive a full prize for a 5 once, an 11 dollar for a 5 once, and the full prize for the 10 once
