    AUGUST MLB Handicapping Contest - 1500 Betpoints + T-Shirts to Top 5!

    August MLB Handicapping Contest

    Entry Fee is only 5 Betpoints.

    Prizes
    1st. 750 Betpoints + SBR T-Shirt
    2nd. 300 Betpoints + SBR T-Shirt
    3rd. 200 Betpoints + SBR T-Shirt
    4th. 150 Betpoints + SBR T-Shirt
    5th. 100 Betpoints + SBR T-Shirt



    How to Play

    You must make a minimum of 60 and a maximum of 90 MLB plays between Tuesday, August 1st and Thursday, August 31st with the contest containing Money Lines, Totals and Run Lines.

    Plays have a 1-unit Base (playing To Win if odds are "-" and Risk if odds are "+") except that you are allowed up to 4 optional 3-unit Best Bets over the course of the month. Moreover, besides the Betpoint prizes, qualified Top 5 finishers will also receive an SBR T-Shirt (only those residing in the continental USA are eligible). Standings will be based on units.

    Note: If there is a tie in units, the tiebreaker will be Action Points, which is how much you beat the line by on totals and run lines only. If still tied after Action Points, the prizes will be split.

    Also note that unlike the real world, in the event of a pitching change, all selections have action at the odds originally taken.

    Good Luck to All!

    Fineprint
    1. International users must enter a Bet365 account on the join page. US users must enter their SBR usernames.
    2. T-Shirts can only be shipped to continental USA.
    3. SBR is not responsible for system outages that are beyond our control, plays will not be entered retroactively.
    4. BAD LINES: If there is a clear and obvious line error on a game, alert us on Live Chat for a point reward. Do not enter picks on obvious errors as they will only be voided anyway with offenders being subject to possible banning.

    I would register for this if it were a 40 play minimum.

    Good luck, everyone.

    @unde0087 you are off to a great start too, GL my friend!

    I thought the contest would be fun but these are also my real plays. Much needed as I was down 13 units last week....

    These contests force you to play way too many plays but are a good waste of time especially when I haven't bet baseball at all this year
