5Dimes is rated A+ by SBR, and a member of the sportsbook recommended list. They're as secure and reputable as they come.

Whats the rule as far as a push goes? Does a push count towards a r/o or not? I met my 4 x $166 r/o yesterday from last weeks BTP weekly winnings. I want to cash out , but before I do I need to know the rule on pushes. I couldnt find it anywhere in the rules.

DSI counts pushes as action toward rollover, this doesn't include cancelled games though.

MJT1212 · 10-11-09, 05:18 PM

Ok, I'm 2-0 +2.00 Units right now.

Two Games remaining and one is the "best bet" with a x2 multiplier and it is the next game. If I lose this bet will I lose my +2.00 Units and be at zero? Lose One Unit? Or Lose Nothing?

Thanks

Your Best Bet is at -110 so you would lose 2.2 units should that pick lose, so you'd be at 2-1 -0.2 with your 4th pick pending.

Lou. I have two questions for you. This may be the wrong place, but this is the only way I have of asking these questions.

First, how do I get my posts to give me an "edit" option? All mine say is "quote" or "reply". It makes me look like a fool.

Second, how can I send a PM to someone? I tried and it said that my PM was disabled. Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

I don't know what made that line so funny, but I laughed so hard when I read that.

eastvan09 · 10-13-09, 02:15 PM

How long does it usually take before the $ is deposited into my Betphoenix account?
Thanks!

I will send you a PM to assist you sir. The PM will go through when I send it.

eastvan09 · 10-13-09, 11:23 PM

Thanks Lou! Wondering if the Northern Illinois - Toledo game will be included in the beat the prick contest?

eastvan09 · 10-14-09, 12:26 PM

Thanks Lou, the Northern Ill v Toledo game is now up.

I know you are busy but can I expect the BetPhoenix $ from BTP week 5 in the next day or 2? I appreciate all your work on the contest.

gavin · 10-14-09, 08:25 PM

eastvan09 · 10-15-09, 04:12 AM

A couple things......

First, thanks a million to SBR, CrazyLou, the rest of the mods and all these books for running such a fantastic (and generous!) contest year after year. It really as one of the best on the net.

(And if anyone knows of any other contests that are as good or better, please PM me.

)

Second, this point got lost amidst the many BTP questions, but I would really like to resurrect it because I think it's a worthy case:

Originally posted by cobra_king

Bingo!

Alot of us who had credits would have saved one for this years BTP where the prize pool is dramatically larger then any of the other contests. It only made sense to do so. But now with no warning we are told that they are useless. I, and many others would have used them up playing the other contests if we had been told in advance that they were going to become useless.

Now that the SBR Points system is in place and running smoothly, there are a pretty wide range of ways to accrue points. All sorts of things--some as simple as logging in or posting--offer points for members. Everyday I see members offering new suggestions for ways to earn points, and some have been honored. That said, I think it's pretty legitimate that those who deposited to books and saved their credits for later contests be compensated somehow for these "disappearing" credits. Granted, it's not a huge deal to me if nothing happens; SBR is more than generous in the amount of bonuses they offer, free contests, etc. Just the same though, I don't feel like it would be a big deal or an extended effort to just go ahead and offer some compensation (i.e. a set amount of SBR points). As it stands, posters can get rich in points just by being forum trolls. Posters who actually made deposits at books and were frugal/wise in how the spent their credits seem deserving of some extras. Just my case... thanks for listening.

Finally (and really unrelated), I saw that someone earlier in this thread asked how to edit posts, and Lou sent them a PM with an explanation. I've long wondered the same thing... Lou, could you either PM me or simply post a quick explanation? Thanks much.
