April Ladder Challenge (Prize Pool Doubled)

[BHExchange]

Well, I'm not sure if you ever really corrected it and it doesn't matter that "both" your plays hit. You broke the rules.

What are you saying exactly?

Miami Marlins +185 Caesars

What are you saying exactly?

I'm saying that when I noticed what you did in the St Louis play, right away it seemed shady. When I thought about it, I came to the conclusion that it doesn't matter that St Louis won first five and game. You decided to try to post seconds before 1st pitch, which is fine, but you better be able to do so correctly within the rules. You tried clarifying you post after first pitch and this might not matter anyway because you posted a false line. You broke the rules in at least two different ways, posting false line and changing your initial bet.

Disqualified for 2 bets on the same day? What do you mean?

I posted Cardinals +1.5 -184, you can check the time stamp. I prefer posting late for a number of reasons, and I never edit because we're not supposed to. It's in the rules. So if I type something wrong I make an additional post to clarify. Both 1st five and full game won, easily, so I have a hard time understanding why shit is about to hit the fan.

Because you took both sides. You can’t have it both ways pal. You intentionally bet both sides and then even admitted to your “error” in your follow up 2nd bet post.. There was no typo. It’s a clear rules violation, you changed your bet. The bet is disqualified. And any subsequent bets after that.

Sorry I had the right odds in front of me. That was clearly not 1st five innings. I made a typo as I was rushing to post the pick before first pitch

-184 is run line for full game, this is what i bet

[BHExchange]

Caesar's +135 No / -175 Yes

I posted 40 minutes ahead of time. It's a disadvantage because of what hhsilver did (and why wouldn't he!) but I was making sure this pick has no issues.

If - for verification and positive publicity - I should also bet it at an SBR-affiliated sportsbook and post a ticket - just add it to the rules and may the best may win.... in May!

[BHExchange]

may the best MAN win in May lol

Do we just keep going or did someone already win?

Keep going until Andy grades this I suggest.

I can't see where he made two picks for one date as people are saying. And I don't see where he took both sides anywhere.

But he does appear to have ignored the rules or made errors on several of his picks, and one has an odds question over it.

Thanks for replying Optional.

I see what the others are saying, so if one pick is push/cancelled and I've just lost a day due to mistyping, I should still be in contention? So if I am.... would be good to know where I stand and what my strategy should be.

You are a dangerous opponent, but I'm lucky!

[BHExchange]

Heat -2. -110. Risk 100. NBA
blue jays ml -120. Risk 101.52. MLB

TOTAL RISK 201.52

both odds from bet365

So how many bets are we allowed per day? I was 100% sure you don't have to post a pick every day... but if you do, it's automatically an all in pick. If you lose it, balance resets to 0

I never saw anyone post two picks in a day, let alone in a single post.

Is this allowed by the rules?

Official ruling:

Too many errors made here to award the prize.

- Cardinals bet on 4/16 was wrong bet posted then corrected after game had started
- 4/17 pick listed wrong opponent
- 4/18 pick did not list sportsbook on original post until questioned afterwards

You will be reset back to where you were going into 4/16. So your current bankroll is $233 and you can carry on from there.

Please follow the rules and make your picks crystal clear so there is no opportunity for confusion.

Shouldn't 4/18 pick count? Even if you push/cancel two of my winning plays, I should be at $225 before Friday pick. Wednesday and Thursday were made too close to start time, I concede.

Friday was different.

I posted a screenshot (see 679), so if there's no issues with this pick, bankroll should be at $353 (225 to win 128 at -175)

You can check the lines. I copied poster 606 (Cabo). At the time of posting he had -115 and I was happy with -120

Anyone can see those are the same bets. But yes I mistyped.

Out of respect, I feel it is appropriate to respond to you. While I cannot speak for others, it seems unlikely that anyone believes you were attempting to cheat. It appears that its just poor time management on your part which has resulted in a perception of irregularity. Sometimes just the perception is all that it takes, especially considering you have previously demonstrated adherence to the rules in this contest.

SBR has many members who are competitive and aim to win fairly. When there is any doubt about the process, it will be questioned appropriately.

Classy. I hope you come through and crush it for the win from here.

Just go with what Andy said and use the 16th bankroll. He would have already thought about balancing it to be fair to you and all other players. ;-)
