    The Pick 6 is the first thing that has to go. That was cute and all but keeping that for the name sake is terrible.

    I really do not know why they got rid of SBR Drew. They kept all his ideas. He really got hosed.

    I think he must have been harassing SBR Genie.

    I would not bring back the Prick.

    I doubt SBR will be able to afford it, but I would Call it SBR Pick 6 or SBR Pick 5 featuring the fabulous Le Martin. Do not block out Le's picks. Keep us in suspense. They will not even have to pay out many betpoints.

    This would be a blockbuster.

    I'm guessing they can't afford the old contest as well but why not just tell us that instead of pushing this garbage contest they have now and trying to make it smell like roses? Why not bring back the old contest and scale down the points?

    They can afford the $50,000. They can't afford Le Martin after the year.

    They are not trying to push anything. They think this is a good idea.

    You haven't noticed. When the contest came out last year and everyone complained all of the sudden the mods showed up pumping how great the contest was. It was ridiculously transparent. Trust me they have been blowing smoke up our ass on this contest the last 2 years.

    I honestly think they know this is a piss poor contest when compared to what they had. I just think now they are limited with the funds for it.

    No, this was SBR Drew's doing. They are paying the same amount. They are not paying as many betpoints. They don't care about betpoints. Look how much they are giving for the bowl contest. They don't even have to pay most of those out.

    Last year nobody but me really brought this up at the end of the year. Before the year, I was also the only one that said anything.

    You've got some emotional commitment to the contest because they were involved in the decision. They tried to make it work better.

    Until recently, nobody was complaining this year.

    I will agree to disagree. When in chat last year we were all complaining. Many were not happy with the new contest. Within a short period of time mods started showing up and trying to steer the unhappiness by blowing smoke up our ass about how great the contest was. No one bought it.

    But in the big picture you and I are on the same side.

    This is the big deal. What else are they going to do? They thought people would like it once they got used to it.

    You've got to understand the reasoning behind it. SBR Drew wanted to pay out more people. He wanted non-PROs to be able to win. He wanted to spread things out. Everyone is a winner at SBR.

    He did not understand gamblers. He did not understand that they want to win big prizes. He did not understand how much people liked the contest.

    SBR thought it just needed some tweaking. They probably still think that.

    I don't disagree with any of that.

    On a side note. If they really give out the amount of $ and bet points with this contest as they did with BTP then they really f ed up

    And my only point is there were a few of us who saw this change to the new contest as a terrible move and let them know. Most of us aren't power posters. This site puts weight on quantity and sometimes not so much on quality.

    Yeah, well. SBR basically created this perfect contest by accident. People generally have the idea that: "Hey, it's a free contest. Take what you can get." I think SBR kind of had that same attitude.

    It is what they wanted to do so they stuck with it. We'll see if they keep with it.
