HUGE hoops capping contest coming! $20K per month, $5,000 per week + $10k grand prize

[lunchbawks]

its FREE money...yes there is a rollover but again its FREE money

it's not even money. its an addiction tool books use to lure in new players.

it's going to be atleast 5X rollover. I'd honestly rather take 500$ cash, instead of 5000$ with a 5-9X rollover.

give us some actual money you greedy bookies. do you guys know how much money these websites make already?

[70kgman]

non-depositors can play

Yep, that is the only constructive criticism I would have about the format/details. They will be taking money away from people who deposited. There should be a non-depositor section or alternate contest with a sbr point prize pool.

The real question is what's a better deal:

Winning $1000 with 6x rollover

or

Winning 1000 points with no rollover

the cash, far and away
even if you are paying 4.5% juice to scalp it and you keep winning at dsi that $1000 is worth 1000 - (6000x.045) or 1000-270 = $730

[gavin]

just deposited another 50! i think the rep was like "why are you depositing 50 when you have 800 in there?"

best thing in sbr store are freeplays and then sportsbook cash..both of which have a bigger rollover


1000 points is worth about 50 bucks in gift cards...

so its 50 bucks no rollover or 1000 with 6x rollover which i think pretty clearly favors the rollover.

[Goat Milk]

1000 points?

Not even close.

1000 points is not even worth $100.

Even if you're a bad bettor, you should be able to turn $1000 into more than $100.

[Slainte]

Good one SBR i was thinking of entering the contest, but some say ppl outside the US can't join for real money? Why is that? I don't want to make deposit without being able to participate in the contest.

[jpowderly]

I just cashed out on Dec 9 . Do i need to redeposit?

[Killer_Demo]

wow this sounds huge for SBR and capping contests...I'm in

[THEGREAT30]

sounds cool not one of my known or trusted books though, and I have learned to not jump on every contest from every skeptical book that SBR offers. You will only end up with accounts you long forgot about that may cause problems down the line

[bill2266]

c aint wait until it starts

GTFO with this rollover bullshit. Why do you think noone cares about the SBR poker freerolls?

It's free money. All the books are asking is you try their sportsbook before collecting. Unless you are here for free contests betting is something youre doing anyways.

Yo are also giving them the option not to get cash with rollover and collect points. So if a poster wins $1000 and doesn't want to get the rollover requirements with the sponsor he can opt out and collect the 1000 points and use them at the store.

[smitch124]

Thank God this isn't a reading comprehension contest, there would be a 1200 person tie for last.

[himeshforex]

its a play for me ... i get a high always when beating the 'prick' !!

[james4512]

great looking contest, and for all you assholes IF YOU HAVENT DEPOSITED AFTER DECEMBER 8TH 2010 YOU ARE NOT ELGIBLE FOR PRIZE MONEY SO REDEPOSIT YOU DIRTBAGS its 50$

[shaunovery]

Sounds like fun I better depostit soon

[Dark Horse]

Cool. This feels more like the old SBR.

Looks like there needs to be a little more clarity about funds in the account. Example of possible confusion: 50 dollar deposit for BTP, bet up to 10x original deposit, including 100 bucks BTP winnings, and then lost half of the balance. That would place the amount over the required 200 bucks, but if DSI decided to subtract the BTP winnings it could be less than that.

If format is not settled, can we suggest some? Not sure if it's possible to have a knockout format with 5K in weekly prizes, but that format may be the most interesting in terms of combining capping and strategic abilities. (it also seems to be the format where players lose the most money).

I'll gladly quadruple the offer and give you 2000 cash for every 5000 you need to roll over 5-9x. Any time. As long as the balance is transferred to my account and it is with a reputable book.

Perhaps trivia this week should be about the rules of this contest.

that is a fukkin great idea

[hhsilver]

DSI wants to run something big for SBR for basketball .....

The main requirement is a $50 min deposit to DSI after Dec 8 and before your games are played. You can get started by signing up using and joining. ..If you are already a member you are good to go. If you already have a balance above $200 you are good to go on the $50 deposit requirement. The funds must not have come from prizes or no-desposit (free money or no-deposit freeplays) bonuses including the SBR store.

Bill, could you elaborate on the "balance above 200 - good to go" part of the above quote. the contest rules (last I looked) do no mention this.

I take it to mean that if you previously made a deposit and currently have a balance above 200 after subtracting any BTP winnings/store money, etc , then an additional deposit of 50 is not required. Is that true? If not, what do you mean by "good to go"?.

[BigDaddy]

you should have your SBR pro status revoked with a post like that.

it gives all the other SBR pros a bad name.

[Mike9999]

Thanks for setting up this contest.

[bobbyfk]

I just cashed out on Dec 9 . Do i need to redeposit?

yes, minimum of $50

[constrictor]

how many points will be awarded to non-depositors?

[Naz18]

Could someone answer the question on having to deposit if you have a balance over $200 that has been combined with deposit and BTP winnings.
