    Looking at some +units in these contests?
    how did you guys allow bets to be taken on +600 events?

    you block the ML's from the games yet the $1250 wagerchief contest is virtually over as the leader with 28 units has no shot at being beaten.

    i was under the assumption lines like that didn't exist?

    i was in contention with 1 game left in the BetPhoenix 1000 nfl playoffs and had indy -5 -110 and thought if i win i cash well i lost so it doesnt matter but it seems a ton of people jumped everyone and won with some crazy prop play?

    why offer sides all contest and then offer some crazy prop line at the end?

    doesn't make much sense IMHO

    that wager chief contest is over i might as well not even pick a game and i have all 30 picks left



    thank you

    guess who had colts +7.5 as his best bet
    i probably wouldn't have made in in the top 3 anyway , but it seems kinda odd not allowing mls but alternative lines for the superbowl

      so you took the colts +7.5?


      just silly to offer that line up for that game.


      way to ruin the whole contest in general

          poster soli goes 10-0 and gets 3rd place

          1 Kustac 6-4-0 60.00 % +12.84 W 1 23.5 $500.00
          2 Richkas 8-2-0 80.00 % +11.95 W 2 108.5 $250.00
          3 soli 10-0-0 100.00 % +11.41 W 10 146.5 $125.00



          in a 10 pick contest

          he was robbed.


          soli reply

          I agree....I was robbed and it really doesn't make sense to have someone work hard to handicap games and someone with a record of 6-4 come in and win the contest when we wasn't allowed to use moneylines and high value picks at the beginning. There were guys who went 9-1 and not even close in the standings who was robbed also.

                a 10 pick contest is pure luck , so he got unlucky, but i don't think he got robbed.

                  he was robbed.

                  the only way he wasn't robbed if someone else put up a similar number like 10-0 9-1 with some hockey dogs but to allow a crazy alt line prop bet for the superbowl just ruined the contest.

                      CrazyLou has helped a few posters here win contests , it is a shame the shit they pull here.

                      Kustac and Gavin have both been allowed to win contesta after cheating in previous ones.

                      Problem is the heads at SBR will never admit when they are wrong.

                        I don't understand how a 10-0 got beaten by a 6-4. Even Crazy Lou couldn't have fukked this contest like that.

                          we are all getting freeplays, contest , points etc for free from sbr,
                          all we have to do is make a couple of posts everyday or signup at books through their links.
                          i don't get it how some people consistently find a way to critize sbr,
                          i understand soli, but he still got 125 usd for doing basically nothing ,
                          which is not a bad deal imo

                              Last contest they had those crazy lines I took one of them and then after the game started they changed it to the normal line.

                              I stayed away yesterday figuring the same thing would happen.

                                Because it is plain stupid , and Kustac is the 2nd poster to cheat in one contest and then come back and win another contest.

                                Why play if cheating is allowed ? And then this stupid crap.

                                  don't get me wrong i appreciate these contests i'm not bitching just stating my opinion as i just noticed it going over the records from the betphoenix contest as if colts -5 -110 would have won i would have been i thought 3rd place with like 7.29 units and today i noticed the guy that won had over 10 and i was like how in the hell did the winner get over 10 units and i looked at his plays.

                                  if not stumbling upon that i would have had no clue it was allowed.


                                  but i dont think that line should have ever been allowed to be bet.

                                  its just doesn't fit with the way the contests are run.

                                    to win the wagerchief contest you will need to go 30-0 to win

                                    LOL!

                                        I will give away all my points if Crazylou will come into this thread and explain this crap and also why 2 known cheaters have been allowed to win future contests.

                                          a reason why this was allowed would be nice.

                                            That is bad, you should allow no bet over -200 or +200. If people are behind they will hop on +600 things just because they can't win otherwise. Makes very little sense and SBR should help out Poli for going 10-0.

                                                  BetP was the alternate book in that contest. They offered a crazy line! People with big balls took it! You could play it safe with +/- 4.5 -110 or go out on a limb. I kinda like it! People keep acting like they were forced to play that line, get over it

                                                      Unreal, just a complete screw job. Contest runners should be ashamed of themselves
