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. ;-)

225 is still just two bets away. After what happened with Arizona D-Backs yesterday... nothing will surprise me the rest of this MLB season. GL to you Optional ;-)

[BHExchange]

I'm sort of rooting for the guy, just like I rooted for you after Chicago Bulls got demolished twice in 3 days by the Pistons for you Opti. Not sure if he got screwed or not (or if he cheated or not), but in his mind he was already counting the cash in his pocket. Hopefully he bets his picks with real $$$, seems pretty good!

You bet I did. And yes I did bet some of these plays in bettors den account. Much better than when I was last betting before COVID - in a situation like this I'd pick side A in a contest and then make insurance bet on the opposite side with money.

Gambling Gods were watching, tread carefully next time.

True, I should stfu and bet (carefully).

Restarting from $220-ish here pretty soon. GL to all and have a Happy Easter

[Headsterx]

may the best MAN win in May lol

Just go with what Andy said and use the 16th bankroll balance. ;-)

Thanks for clarifying so quickly Andy!

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.

$10 on Colorado Avalanche -1.5 +200 Bet365

[makaveli66]

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.

I had not seen this post yet. Fair ruling though.

[makaveli66]

-175
Record a Hit (CLE@PIT)

660.9 risk on Oneil Cruz to record a hit
same as Total Hits over 0.5 for the game

Another clear rules violation as there is no sportsbook posted.

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?

[BHExchange]

4/18
Oneil Cruz
record a hit ?--> No +155 DK
78.30/121.36

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

[BHExchange]

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.
