2. The top 10 eligible international players receive their share of the $5,000 pot credited to their TheGreek accounts with a 1X rollover. Users based in the US will receive SBR betpoints; i.e. $1,750 = 1,750 betpoints available for immediate redemption.
3. Minimum of 90 picks required for overall contest eligibility.

Tell the Greek to accept US players again.

Unreal. Great

[RudyRuetigger]

Good contest

this should be next one

100 units

can bet any amount of your units on any game


once your units are 0, you're out.


amount of units up/ down (won/loss) are hidden for duration of contest


this means people should bet like they normally would.

Video chick is hot, well done SBR hiring the latina Erin Andrews of gambling forums

[mpaschal34]

1750 betpoints = $1750 for US players? Only if that was true in the SBR store.

All players are welcome to participate, but for sure, players who are able to have accounts with The Greek are in the best potential financial position for the contest ending prizes. That said, a guy in the US who has a nice run can very easily snatch himself an iPad if he kills it in the monthlies.

I'd be too annoyed if I won.

[pavyracer]

What kind of a bullshit contest is this? International posters win $5,000 in prizes and US posters win 5,000 points?

[thetrinity]

this was awesome until I saw a US player gets 1750 betpoints for winning it

[shaunovery]

Nice for us European players

[Steamroller]

Registered. The chick says in the video to create the Greek account through sponsor link..well i kinda missed that and i don't even know where that link was. I hope it's not a problem. Awesome contest.

[Iwinyourmoney]

Huge waste of time for usa players.
Great contest for international

[Dollars2Donuts]

I love that I am guaranteed a top 10 finish without even posting.

This rules.

Thanks

[stevek173]

You could make the prizes closer in value

1750 points is worth about $57.75 USD

I mean come on

Thats a good idea... We could call it the bankroll format. We will see if we can make that format available at the middle of next year.

It's almost two different contests. People outside the US are getting 5k in Greek bucks. Even if they show 35th but are 5th non-US guy they are gonna get the money TheGreek chose to give to the forum. For you guys its a good chunk of free bet points.

How can you say that when you are cashin out Big Macs from the SBRstore . Put your dang NBA picks in IWin!

[The Giant]

I suppose it's free to enter so US players have nothing to lose by playing. Would have been nice if there were prizes for US posters too instead of just points. Maybe something from the store other than points to stir some interest.

[jjgold]

nice to see Greek back in the mix!

[Bill Dozer]

Some US guys in here are like my niece. She gets a piece of cake in front of her and all she can do is look at the kid next to her with the bigger piece. I tell her 2 minutes ago no one had anything. It's a net gain of cake! Eat your damn cake.

[SignThisBeast]

I suck at NBA, but hey it's a free contest so why not. Plus why is everyone complaining? It's free. No risk involved

If you put into cake terms, the kid next to me has 30 pieces of cake and I have one. That's the fair comparison.

[BigDaddy]

good stuff SBR

5k in points

its a no brainer to be a sbr poster/sbr pro

woohoo!

[Ted Sheckler]

Thanks for the contest SBR.

[RudyRuetigger]

I don't remember a season long basketball contest since beat Vegas dave

still beneficial to win monthly prizes for us players

why would the Greek want to pay us players anyway

[RudyRuetigger]

Thats a good idea... We could call it the bankroll format. We will see if we can make that format available at the middle of next year.

Thanks chief

i think you've done something similar before, maybe a bowl contest one year that was set up at a different site?

well the main points would be to have it long enough to a person winning 4 in a row couldn't just easily win, and a priority on units won being hidden. Some guys will start all in otherwise and then stop. Others will bet small and at the end realize they need to go all in a couple times

ok bookmarking this. We do want to have as much integration as possible with our own site. Each contest format is like creating new bookmaking software. We do want to expand.

It's a good life-isnt-fair lesson. Better looking guy getting the girl, rich guy driving the sports car, Canadian gets The Greek account. =)

Hopefully there are future Libertarian voters in this thread.

Fukk the contest. I miss the Greek bad. All the CSR's were jamaican women and anyone that knows me knows I LOVE dark skinned women. When you got a check fed-ex showed up in 24 hours in a very nice lil embroidered pamphlet all thanking you for your business with the Greek logo. Was awesome. Now we gotta deal with small dick pricks running shit like a high school seniors. Tony the dago hires a woman that is a total fukking worthless bitch that is beyond antagonistic and then if anyone doesnt like her shit we get fukked, unreal. What are they 13? Never had to deal with any a that at the Greek.
