No worries Lakers backers. You just need Luka to play 46.5 minutes a game until June and you'll sweep every series!

Thank you Andy. And yes, a very fair ruling. Myself along with others simply spotted mistakes and pointed them out. This guy or whatever syndicate he’s a part of, obviously did not read and follow the rules. Evident by again asking the question of are we allowed to post more than one bet a day. I have no qualms about anyone here, may the best man, woman or machine win, (joking), but if you are doing something that clearly violates rules, you should be held accountable.

And his smart ass response when I called him out on it, didn’t do much for his character.
What exactly is BHExchange? Doesn’t sound like a normal screen name person, more like a business or something.
Maybe BHExchange would like to come on here and explain it?

Mike,

Not for the first time, please dial it back to a much lower level of aggression in these contest threads.

It makes it uncomfortable for people to play these games when we have other members abusing people as cheats or whatever. No need to make it personal.

It's helpful and appreciated to have players check entries and point out any potential problems, but just leave it to Andy or a mod to be the bad guy if it's needed.

[Optional]

If you click “Matchup” and look at Best Total Odds you’ll see the FD 5 +132. Are you saying we shouldn’t use “Matchup” link in SBR Tool? Not sure why it’s different than “Totals”.

Yes you can't use the best bets on the matchup page

Post #1 has been updated to say it.

NOTE: We have noticed some line discrepancies from the 'Best Odds' section of matchup pages (mainly MLB spread lines). So please refrain from using that to quote odds going forward and only use lines directly from the odds pages or player props tool.

Just leave that pick out as a void and keep going from your current bankroll

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?

Contest Rules

Everyone starts with a bankroll of $10. The goal is to turn that into $1,000 by making 1 pick per day and rolling over the winnings each day. Once you lose, you go back to $10 and start over.

[BHExchange]

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.

+105 Houston Astros ML

andy posted the above -- post 255 -- page 8 ---

Maybe the above should be repeated many times and probably reworded to emphasize this bug.

There have been big problems with that Best Odds feature ( and not only for spread lines ) -- from some recent posts it looks like it hasn;t been fixed. It simply should never be used in this contest.

It's easy and more accurate to use https://www.sportsbookreview.com/betting-odds/

Unfortunately , in order to see line history, i believe you have to go by way of the page that has this Best Odds feature.
---------------
also, concerning line history -- I can find no way to get it for bets on first 5, first period , 1st half, etc . Also is a history available for props from a previous day? --- Does the staff have access to these things? If not how can results be thoroughly checked? Please let me know if I am missing something concerning these histories.

[mikejamm]

It's ok to call me out on an error.

It's not ok for you to get the ruling you wanted, and not stop there. You won, be happy, move on.

This will be the last time I acknowledge any of your posts, at least in this thread. Or unless you happen to be in the lead and I fade you (but, good luck with that feat)

Is there an IGNORE feature on here?

It wasn’t a you won thing at all. You messed up and I attempted inform you about it, before you errored even further, which you did, and you turned into an ass about it with your, “See you in May” bs comment. No problem though noob. Live and learn. Like Andy stated to you, Read the rules and follow them.

Based on this post I choose to ignore you. No hard feelings, friend. Getting into an internet fight is the last thing I want with 4 major sports going on. Let's just enjoy the games, and not talk to each other again ;-)

[mikejamm]

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.

Very interesting... So 5 and 5.5 is the same thing now, more or less? ;-)
