Can we get Beat the Prick contest back, please.

[JMobile]

This Pick 6 Football contest really sucks.

Thanks.

[BuckyOne]

Best Prick in the sports world!

[Mr. Teaser]

2nd that. This current contest is nowhere near what BTP was. Not even close.

[ex50warrior]

Contest is Ok, it's my picks that suck!

I preferred the Beat the Prick format too but this year is an improvement over last year.

[RudyRuetigger]

I could make a case for both of them so doesnt both me


Id just prefer weekly payouts be in betpoints so it looks like a lot more and can be spread out


for instance, i think a 4-2 week winning your best bet should also get same as 5-1 losing best bet

[playersonly69]

Even though I won a weekly prize of $300 last year, I prefer the Beat the Prick contest as well

[seaborneq]

Just admit it. Going 6-0 is very hard to do. The odds on hitting a 6 team parlay is somewhere between 75-1 to 100-1. 300 dollars for going 6-0 shortchanges the bettor, but most don’t realize this. If anyone had hit a 100 dollar 6 team parlay they could buy the prick and pick 6 contest.

[Microphone]

Yes I have won with the new format but strongly agree with the consensus here and still finding myself waiting for half numbers so I don't push lines this years. I want units deciding this and not actions points, like BTP had.


What I didn't like about BTP is not being able to play all the games. I want the whole NFL menu available to me. If he picked 5 of 6 games in the NFL and you don't follow NCAA closely, it made it impossible.

I agree and I’ve actually cashed this year

The tiebreaker is awful too. It’s geared for someone to pick college games

And with Covid, you have to wait to put your picks in since they don’t let you re pick if a game gets canceled. It will eliminate you from going 6-0

But hey, it’s free, so it is what it is

No, hitting 58% and finishing 25th and getting $100 when a person going 6-0 gets $300 shortchanges the bettor. Most people realize this. It also makes for a boring contest.

They don't have to exclude the games. Could just be Beat SBR and have those picks count. Or just payout weeklies in betpoints without beating anybody. Just call it Pick 6 and payout betpoint winners. You do not need to beat anybody.

[JMobile]

Lots of posters in this thread that I rarely see post.

[Roger T. Bannon]

The biggest problem with the contest is actually that SBR thought it would be more exciting to have weekly winners than full contest winners. But the truth is that people are bored by winning $100. And non-PROs do not give a damn about becoming a PRO.

[jjgold]

We’re putting a committee together to see what can be done

[pavyracer]

The BTP couldn't work this year. If he had to pick Tuesday morning and then the games he picked were canceled he would have lot of pushes which would have been easy to beat him.

I like the new contest. It's something different. Maybe change the way weekly prizes are awarded. Maybe only give weekly prizes to the 5-1 winners who hit the best bet so that they win more betpoints. Going 5-1 and losing best bet shouldn't be rewarded.

He picked mostly pro games so he could have clobbered the field. People got a lot of betpoints with the format and this one does not payout many. As absurd as it is, people value betpoints at almost the same rate as dollars. So everybody was happy. With this contest, everybody is pissed.

Maybe they will tweak it next year. Give out less bitcoin and more betpoints. Notice that I said prizes in my previous post. I don't have an issue to give people more betpoints instead of bitcoin.

It is not going to change that people do not like the format. That is not changing.

Last year it suck also.

Might as well call this contest a 6 team parlay.

Wasn't the last time BTP was offered a disaster? I believe people were colluding with their plays and the winner was found to be sharing his plays with others. They banned the colluding posters but let them keep the winning prizes.

[Hot Jerry]

I love the PRICK !!

[Enkhbat]

I miss the Prick announcing his picks. I like how he says "hook" lol

How can you cheat in BTP??

[RudyRuetigger]

you are out of the loop

[RudyRuetigger]

Let me set up the next football contest


THANK YOU

Good point!

[Otters27]

Have to agree. Like BTP better

[RudyRuetigger]

well you cant give 600 points for going 1-5 with a pick 6 on your 2unit play and only 175 points for going 5-1


this is more of a luck contest


id suggest keep the pick 6

60pt freeplay for picking the 2unit pick 6 return and cover....540 points gets added to the payout pool per poster


so if 100 people had a pick 6 2unit play---those in the money would have 5400 extra points to split


in this way you could add 4-2 winning your best bet as a weekly payout winner



also, go back to weekly payouts in betpoints only

Yes call it what you want.

My point is that if SBR saw it to go back to a "Beat The...." format, make sure the entire NFL & NCAA is available. I never understood why you couldn't pick the games he picked. Why would I want to copy 5 of his picks and try to beat him on the 6th? Does no good if he's constantly going 2-4. Or just release his picks as the games kickoff, like ours to others.

you both pick the first game and you go opposite


if you win and he loses, you can just follow the rest for free and win prizes that week

Back at ya



And when he goes 2-4 4 straight weeks?

Again, do it when his picks are revealed as the games kick off.

Very unfair in weeks where there are byes when he would take up the majority of the NFL slate.

I don't remember Beat The Bag from BetOnline that year working that way.

[RudyRuetigger]
