Can you please enter my account # or fix this? Thanks.

You have to type the account # in instead of copy/pasting, then it will work.

B1GER1C828 · 09-09-10, 10:25 PM

started off with a push...sob

Domer · 09-09-10, 10:45 PM

what does the Action column mean? it is out to get me.

will2survive · 09-09-10, 10:55 PM

I went 3-0-1 ---if the Saints kicker made the field goal,I would've went 4-0

killer. The only advantage is I finished at 3.00 where a lot of people will finish 2.90-due to the juice.Prick has to sweep to beat me.He's 1-0--hopefully he goes 3-1--beating out most

EmpireMaker · 09-09-10, 11:25 PM

If the Prick should go 4-0 and be +5.00 units would the people who were also 4-0 that were + 5.05 or more get paid or would the Prick win ?

You also lost not 1 but 2 units, since it was your best bet. This messed a lot of people up. You're wrong about the 2.90, by the way, that would only be if someone was 4-1, and we're only pickign four games.

I'm mad because BTP wouldn't let me pick for some reason earlier! Working fine now, but it wouldn't let me pick -- I wanted tonight's under as my best bet! Sucks!!!!

I think there are NO winners when the Prick goes 4-0, regardless of units.

Capybara · 09-09-10, 11:30 PM

Question: Are the BTP lines the Diamond lines? I can't tell, it doesn't say.

will2survive · 09-09-10, 11:35 PM

I meant anyone goes 4-0,they beat me.If they go 3-1 with their best bet winning,they'll most likely be at 2.90 due to games that are predominantly -110

I'm only going to get beat by people who are 4-0(probably a handful) and I bet the Prick goes 2.90 or worse--that kicker killed me-

4-0 by the prick trumps all. No one wins no matter what.

juuso · 09-10-10, 02:08 AM

Good stuff. Just hoping Prick won't go 4-0 first week.

AceKingHigh · 09-10-10, 04:29 AM

I'm Pretty pissed on it ,
How come I'm the only guy who took NO -5.5 while everyone got a -5 line and PUSHED this game?! EH?!!?

Boner_18 · 09-10-10, 07:00 AM

Winning the first one feels good. It is all downhill from here.

thebertshow · 09-10-10, 09:11 AM

Okay let's do this thing

The "Action" column records the # of points your picks win or lose the pointspread by. It is another category that SBR Contests tracks, along with the win %, # of wins, etc. It is normally used as a last resort tiebreaker, but we have also sculpted contests around Action Points as they can be kind of fun.

Your action points are irrelevant for this contest though.

That's correct, it's kind of the niche of the contest. If The Prick goes perfect, nobody wins that week but your record still counts toward your season ending standing of course.

B1GER1C828 · 09-10-10, 01:01 PM

imagine if prick started off 4-0 first week? would be sorta funny.

2Bdown · 09-10-10, 01:22 PM

having a hell of a time getting money to these DSI clowns. Im from the US on vacation in the Caymans. Denied CC for $50 bucks. Now i cant even access my account. locked out. tells me to call CS. guess i will wait a week til im back in the us. At this point im ready to shoot the prick im the fukin head

JNic · 09-10-10, 02:31 PM

hahah you'll get it worked out

2Bdown · 09-10-10, 02:47 PM

a simple phone call got it all worked out. turns out i had created a duplicate account, my fault. I phoned CS and they processed my CC over the phone from Cayman. Very easy and helpful folks that i could understand. GL to all

Indeed it would be. Maybe J7 can calculate the odds for us.

just hit 700 contestants, should be 14k prize pool this week

Joszan7 · 09-10-10, 06:07 PM

Hey guys, I was going to join the contest and wanted to know if DSI takes the VC VC gift cards. I think I read earlier in the thread saying something that you have to call them for them to be accepted. Is that true?

SBR Lou · 09-10-10, 06:24 PM

If all 700 enter their 4 picks for this week, it will be.

Each time the amount of weekly participants increased above 500 by 100 players, the $2,000 is added to the pot. A participant is defined by a contestant who makes the required minimum amount of picks and avoids disqualification.

If the card is declined online, player reports are that it can still be processed by phone.
