I'm still a bit confused having read the first post. To play do I need to open an account with all the different bookies and submitt 4 plays each week to which one?

The bookmaker after Bodog, and 4 picks from NCAAF or NFL. I think thats right.

You must enter your account number with the sponsor sportsbook designated for each week prior to making picks for that week.

When you are on the Contest Join page, you will see for instance 'Week 7: Carib', then a box to type in your Carib account directly to the right. You must type in your Carib account in the slot that says it's designated for Carib.

When you hit 'Make Picks', you will be required to enter 4 picks via our SBRpicks software in order to be prize eligible for that week.

Even if someone marks free play on all weeks, they are still eligible for the Grand Prize *IF* they've entered the Grand Prize sportsbook prior to week 1.

what do you mean when you say "free play" ? i have not seen that anywhere on the main page

If you do not enter a sportsbook account for Week 8, you are not able to win any prizes for that week. If you do not enter an account and wish to make picks for season ending standing, you would check the box that says Free Play next to whatever week that you do not wish to enter a sportsbook account for.

armyguy238504 · 10-22-09, 07:10 PM

you dont need to deposit more to be eligible for the picks?¿¿¿¿?

I haven't received anything yet, although reading the comments on the BTP board it suggests that people are getting paid.

Lou - can you tell me when i will be paid? cheers buddy.

Masterbettor · 10-23-09, 07:09 AM

I don't think uk based bodog customers received their prizes.

Checkerboard · 10-23-09, 09:45 AM

Hi Lou, as of this morning, week V BTP winnings haven't been deposited into my Bodog account. There's mention a couple of posts back that perhaps some of the others may have received their credits already and it's past the average waiting time of 48 hours.

Can you please look into this and report back? Thanks!

Hi guys,

UK and Canadian players have not been credited yet as the respective customer service teams are operating on different timezones, and will be credited as soon as those teams are on duty during normal business hours.

mbynwa · 10-23-09, 11:26 AM

Have got it now thanks Lou for your help.

Masterbettor · 10-23-09, 11:34 AM

Credited, Thanks Lou!

yorksdicks · 10-23-09, 01:53 PM

Do you have to be positive units to win even if u beet the prick?

Miklos · 10-23-09, 02:48 PM

Credited here also Lou,Thanks.

Yes sir, you must be positive units.

Objective: Beating The Prick. Simply finish with more units than the Prick (you must be positive units) and cash in on that week's prize. If the Prick goes 4-0 ATS (NFL/NCAAF), nobody wins any money that week. If the Prick goes 3-1 +3.00 units, and you go 3-1 +3.01 units, you have beaten the Prick and will cash in a portion of the $5,000 Prize-Pool. Your share will be dependent on how many others have also beaten the Prick, and if anyone went 4-0.

Now it has me at 1-3. Oklahoma St covered. I should be 2-2

Hey Lou,
I took Ok St -9.5 and it got graded as a loss. Can you fix it. I love you.

thezbar · 10-25-09, 05:35 PM

Many grading errors in week seven at this point in time.

You can pick one at a time and pretty much up to game time. Been in this for the second year and just found this out a week ago. My stupidity.

SBR Lou · 10-25-09, 08:06 PM

Grading should all be fixed.

My Utah ST pick is still incorrectly graded as a loss. They covered by 1/2 pt. Laid 1.5 won the game 23/21.
