If looselines and jazz are the same use the same acct number in both;; ive done at cris and bookmaker for yrs

[SBR Lou]

Guys,

LooseLines & Jazz do NOT use the same account#. We have spoken to LL mgmt and any software issues preventing users from opening both accounts should now be cleared. Please open a Jazz/LL account if you have but not the other, in order to be prize eligible for that week.

[THEGREAT30]

So, does the money go into accounts after each week or at the end of contest.

[Dark Horse]

The issue with Looselines and Jazz is not that easy to overcome.

--: I signed up a week or so ago, and was told I already had an account (LL-----). But now I can no longer log in with that? Do I need to sign up again, or do I have another account number?


You are now speaking with Mark of Customer Support.

Please hold while being transferred to Erika Ramirez of Sales.

You are now speaking with Erika Ramirez of Sales.

Erika Ramirez: Good Morning ----!!

----: good morning

Erika Ramirez: Give me one moment to check

Erika Ramirez: ------------ is your full name?

------: yes

Erika Ramirez: everything seems fine

Erika Ramirez: what password you try to use?

--------: So LL------ works for Jazz? I have a password that ----------------

-----: I just tried again, but can't log in with that.

Erika Ramirez: If you want we can do another account for you!!

Erika Ramirez: let me transfer you to Robert so he can help you with that!!

------: hold a sec

Please hold while being transferred to Robert of Sales.

------: Do I need to sign up again? Because I can do that later. Unless someone can just give me another account number. I don't really have the time to sign up now.

You are now speaking with Robert of Sales.

Robert: I'll be with you in one minute

------: Yeah. Erika did the same thing. 'Typing a message' at bottom of screen for several minutes, and answer with a one liner. Meanwhile I'm on this for over 12 minutes and am still at square one. Very flaky.

Robert: one second

Robert: if you can not log into ll

Robert: the best will be create a new account

Robert: that is what I'm doing

Robert: I'm ready

Robert: are you?

-----: depends

Robert: ok

Robert: when you are ready

Robert: please let me know

------: ready for what?

Robert: are you goin to play just for free

Robert: or you are going to make a deposit?

-----: did you create another account?

Robert: nope

Robert: if you are going to play just for the contest

Robert: you don't need another account

-----: They tell me that I do.

Robert: sir with all my respect, are you going to play just for free or you are also planning in funding an account?

------: I called to ask why I can't log in. That was my question. And it still hasn't been answered. I have no intention to play at Jazz in the near future.

------: Twenty minutes, and you folks can't even answer a simple question...

Robert: ok

Robert: we have log into your account from here succesfully

Robert: any other thing

Robert: ?

------: I still can't log in

That took them 22 minutes on live chat. So this is what I get. First of all, straight from the horse's mouth: "if you are going to play just for the contest you don't need another account."

Secondly, if I would deposit at Jazz, they would give me another account number.

And the BTP contest wants a separate Jazz account?

Something doesn't make sense.

[tomcast]

I just created a Looselines account then tried to create a Jazz account. It won't let me. This is the message I get.

i dont have a current jazz or looselines account and can't open either because I have an account at ABCIslands

You are wrong !!!!!!!!! It is still not clear .................... They wouldn't let me today and they told me if I have accounts at both sites I will be violating their rules. Look pal this same situation occurred roughly 5-6 years ago when I had multiple accounts from sportsbook.com sister books and it cost me 18 dimes because I was in violation.

For some reason I have both accounts. I could have swore that they created one for me, but now I am not sure if I didnt use my normal e-mail or something.

[pats3peat]

Yes I do agree I think this format will be better, I went 4-0 a few times last yr and only got maybe 60 dollars cause the Prick sucks at picking picks. You guys said he spent the offseason studying up last yr and he still stunk it up all yr. So I like the have to have a postive points week in order to qualify, I suggested that last yr as well.! GL to everyone this yr! I will be looking for a repeat finish in the top prize!

so glad this year we need to have positive units for cash split.

[Robert Schroeder]

do you need to have money in the acoounts to be a winner and get your winnings ?

[SBR Lou]

do you need to have money in the acoounts to be a winner and get your winnings ?

No deposit required for any winnings. You just need to submit your accounts through SBRpicks on the Join page and you're all set.

[PureGuava]

If you win how long will it take to receive the money?

[rake922]

Just tried to sign up at Jazz and currently have a looselines account.....

The person you had spoken to was mistaken.

I just got off the phone w/ a Jazz mgr and players are able to open accounts at both Looselines and Jazz, however at the moment it is rejecting both signups due to an update that is being made. It had previously been working for the past week or so.

I will post again as soon as the signup restriction message is lifted.

Thanks, Lou!

Look forward to hearing this snafu has been resolved!

[flyingillini]

I had to call Jazz on the phone. I was put on hold and had to speak with 3 different people. They are aware of the SBR contest and why people are wanting an account. I set one up but had to do it on the phone. They did tell me if I made a deposit I could only play at one of the books and not both. I have no desire to play at either.. I signed up at all the books for the contests.

[durito]

So:

I have an ABCIslands account. I am not allowed to play at Jazz or Looselines. I call, talk to 12 people get the accounts opened. What happens if I win money that week? Now I have funded accounts at two of their books which isn't allowed.

[Augustus]

What is the payout structure for the Grand prize?

[PureGuava]

Do you need to use your best bet and Do you need to pick a monday night game?

[tltaylor89]

I feel sorry for the Joe who wins the Jazz leg of the contest

[Doug]

So the contest starts today.

When are our picks due by ( Sat ?)

Will lines change depending on when we enter our picks ?

[ijustwant2bpaid]

are u guys going to fix the picks screen for this along with the 128 man contest, everything is overlaping and very hard to read..

[SBR Lou]

Guys,

The Jazz/Looselines sign-up has been fixed. I just verified by signing up a test account both places. Anyone that submit a LooseLines account for all 3 weeks MUST open a Jazz account!

You can edit the account #'s yourselves now up until that week starting.

[SBR Lou]

So the contest starts today.

When are our picks due by ( Sat ?)

I'm not sure what you're describing. Are you zoomed in on the screen too much? Hit CTRL and scroll down with mouse simultaneously.

[Doug]

can you change your picks if your games haven't started, or are you locked in, once you make your picks ?

[ryanspeer2001]

Just registered.

Should be a fun contest but wow that is alot of entries.

[SBR Lou]

can you change your picks if your games haven't started, or are you locked in, once you make your picks ?

You cannot change your picks once made, but you can enter one pick at a time.

[Sports Cruncher]

Okay, time for stupid clarification questions. So, to participate in a weekly contest you must have an account with the corresponding book for that week, i.e. to play week #1 you need a BetJamaica account? And what's the purpose of the "No Prize" checkbox for each week? Am I the only that finds the setup for this contest more confusing than high school trigonometry? I've looked at the rules and all the available info I could find but it's a bit lacking in clarity. Got a link to a better description somewhere?

To be eligible for Week 1 Prizes, you must have entered the Week 1 (Bet Jamaica) sportsbook account #.

If you check 'No Prizes', it means you are playing for fun that week, however your record will count to your overall contest standing and Grand Prize eligibility provided you supply a Grand Prize sportsbook (Bookmaker).

If you have any other specific questions that are not covered in this thread or on the Contest sidebar, I'm happy to assist you.

[Sports Cruncher]

Okay, thanks Lou!
