Well we are 3 games into the bowl season and I am already out of contention for winning thanks to North Texas

[Alfa1234]

Totally forgot about this!

It's one game. Believe it or not, in all my years here, this is my first entry in this contest. There's no way anyone sweeps the 3* games? Do you have to go 4-1 (I can't imagine you can't do worse than 3-2)

[playersonly69]

There will be 1 or 2 guys that go 5-0 in their 3x games.

But you definitely need to go 4-1 or possibly 3-1-1 in the 3x plays

[seaborneq]

Totally forgot about this!

Every year someone doesn't get their plays in After paying to get in. Amazing.

[ddittie]

Wish there was a way to see live updates on leaders :P

[Regul8er]

Well as a consolation, I went pretty large on Georgia Southern -1 shortly after the line was released. Hated seeing this rise to -2.5 in this contest. Crap!

[thechaoz]

I did this last year. For people with lives, who'm $80 dollars doesn't mean much, it really isn't amazing. It's a waste, but I first hand know how it can happen

Gotcha...

You need to go at least 4-1 in your 3 point games to have a chance to place.

Don't recall anyone ever going 10-0 in their 2 point and 1 point games.

2nd place last year lv herbie went 3-2 , but he swept his 2* games so I guess it's the same difference give or take

Yep. It's just really rare to go 3-2 (3 point games) and place. You just need a ton of things to go your way.... and it's almost impossible.

4-1 or 5-0 3 point games.... you're in the driver seat.

thanks!
I was making my own spreadsheet, lol.. wasted my time.. oh well

[Alright Alright]

I'm well on my way to last place! (0-1)

$500 / 2 = $250

On top of that, for Europeans that don't have the possibility to buy bitcoins and don't have access to any of the books in the SBR shop (or didn't register under the SBR affiliate), betpoints simply don't have any "real" value.

I won last place one year.... money is money Good Luck

i went 5-0 in the 3* last year and got 9th, also hit the championship 4star

think i went 2-3 in the 2 and 1-4 in the 1 though

[daneblazer]

You don’t have to go 5-0, but if you miss one you don’t have much margin for error

[Cookie Monster]

Just by chance, 1 out of 32 entries would go 5-0 on 3 star picks, so in average 2-3 each year do it.
