    July MLB Handicapping Contest

    Entry Fee is only 5 Betpoints.

    Prizes
    1st. 750 Betpoints + SBR T-Shirt
    2nd. 300 Betpoints + SBR T-Shirt
    3rd. 200 Betpoints + SBR T-Shirt
    4th. 150 Betpoints + SBR T-Shirt
    5th. 100 Betpoints + SBR T-Shirt



    How to Play

    You must make a minimum of 60 and a maximum of 90 MLB plays between Saturday, July 1st and Monday, July 31st with the contest containing Money Lines, Totals and Run Lines.

    Plays have a 1-unit Base (playing To Win if odds are "-" and .Risk if odds are "+") except that you are allowed up to 4 optional 3-unit Best Bets over the course of the month. Moreover, besides the Betpoint prizes, qualified Top 5 finishers will also receive an SBR T-Shirt (only those residing in the continental USA are eligible). Standings will be based on units.

    Note: If there is a tie in units, the tiebreaker will be Action Points, which is how much you beat the line by on totals and run lines only. If still tied after Action Points, the prizes will be split.

    Also note that unlike the real world, in the event of a pitching change, all selections have action at the odds originally taken.

    Good Luck to All!

    Fineprint
    1. International users must enter a Bet365 account on the join page. US users must enter their SBR usernames.
    2. T-Shirts can only be shipped to continental USA.
    3. SBR is not responsible for system outages that are beyond our control, plays will not be entered retroactively.
    4. BAD LINES: If there is a clear and obvious line error on a game, alert us on Live Chat for a point reward. Do not enter picks on obvious errors as they will only be voided anyway with offenders being subject to possible banning.

            When you say SBR will cover their ticket and three night's stay, do you mean their airplane ticket or ticket to the convention?

              There is no cost to attend the IFBC but it is invite-only.

              SBR is covering up to $750 toward an airline ticket for the five contestants.

                True Betpoints? Are they the ones made in China?

                    Good question

                    It means that the betpoints are applied directly to your forum account and do not need to be rolled over in the SBR Sportsbook, Casino, or poker room.

                      Many SBR Contests pay out in the form of Free Plays in SBR Book, this one pays out in actual Betpoints sent right to your wallet.

                        This is awesome! I'll be there Monday morning! But does this mean you're no longer giving away this prize to the top 5 finishers in the contest?

                          Correct, the logistics made it impossible with the conference beginning August 4th and this contest ending July 31st. Sorry for the confusion.

                            Bummer. I'm brand new to the site, and I'm off to a great start in the contest. I understand how it would be logistically difficult though.

                                This was fixed little while ago.

                                      I thought being a pro would have been a requirement.

                                        Nope. That was already addressed earlier in this thread. I'm brand new to the site. I'll be pro this month anyway.

                                            Yes, I bought mine. I think you need to buy them by midnight tonight to keep your spot. You can probably bring a guest but the max reimbursement is still $750.00 for airfare. Perhaps an SBR staffer can confirm this? But buy your plane tickets today for sure!

                                                    I just joined today as I was referred by a friend to join the july contest. Do new members have to wait? what about being in canada? does that matter? I tried joining today but there was no submit button when I entered my username. Says 5 pts to join and I have 6 pts.

                                                      Heads up I just happen to hover my mouse and it highlighted the submit button. You might want to change that and could be preventing others from joining.

You can probably bring a guest but the max reimbursement is still $750.00 for airfare. Perhaps an SBR staffer can confirm this? But buy your plane tickets today for sure!
                                                        You are correct sir.... Now after today ticket prices go up so the $750 reimbursement might not cover the total cost.

                                                          For those commenting in White Sox/Dodgers grading on Wednesday, game was called after 7 innings. Thus, revert to standard Vegas rules, Money Lines count because they only need 5 innings, Totals and Run Lines do not count as they require 9 innings.
