Nah. Pros can still send non-pros as much as they want.

@lostur. I've seen the question answered by John or Lou somewhere, so pretty sure.

Looks like Lou and/or John were full of shit. What a surprise.

losturmarbles · 02-15-11, 06:22 PM

Non-pros are throttled to 2 points both directions. So PROs cannot send non-PROs more than 2 points a day. So if a non-pro wins this month, they're going to have to become a pro to get their points.

revnecro1273 · 02-15-11, 09:47 PM

that pro shit is lame....could always go the poker route and just dump the points to the non pro if they win

yisman · 02-15-11, 10:55 PM

Man, I wanted to fade Marquette, but I didn't want to log onto books from where I was, and I thought I'd be home by 9. I wasn't.

Yis, I was just going by this guy:

Ok got word from SBR. Since LGO isn't a "pro" he cannot receive more than 2 donated points a day. So until he registers with SBR, we can't give him points.

But it looks like it was misinformation from whoever he talked to. And I hastily took his word for it.

scratch that.

yisman · 02-17-11, 09:05 PM

I meant to take Portland, but forgot about it until 9:03, and they locked it at 9:03 instead of 9:05 :O

oh well

I wanted to check back before picking it, but got engrossed in NBA and just remembered.

yisman · 02-17-11, 10:10 PM

Maybe I was lucky there.

revnecro1273 · 02-19-11, 03:06 PM

i am surprised yisman passed on wright state

Megatron · 02-19-11, 04:34 PM

I have my pick selected for W7!

revnecro1273 · 02-19-11, 06:58 PM

blake griffin?

Megatron · 02-19-11, 07:13 PM

nope, staying far away from the dunk contest

revnecro1273 · 02-19-11, 07:24 PM

the beach?

as I've said a bunch of times, I'm not online at those times...

I would have taken them, but there were no odds up when I left yesterday. I wasn't going to pick a game with no odds.

yisman · 02-19-11, 08:00 PM

real question for me now is whether to take st. mary's or blake griffin tonight

I wish the dunk contest happened at 8. Oh well.

yisman · 02-19-11, 11:12 PM

wanted to take Long Beach after Blake, but I'm on a delayed stream

I refreshed at 11:10 to see green, but the late pick was locked.

I had Michigan state locked in for hours, then a few minutes before the game I switched to St. Marys.....

yisman · 02-20-11, 03:08 PM

I tried to get the old dominion pick in from a mobile device, and it showed as unlocked when I logged in, but I clicked it right away and it claimed it was locked

Oh well.

yisman · 02-20-11, 03:48 PM

I ended up taking Chicago.

Not happy with all the easy ncaab picks while I was away.

I was wavering on OD because I wasn't able to research the pick. Limited access.

yisman · 02-21-11, 09:15 PM

If I was going for the ESPN prize, I would've picked Iowa State women's tonight. The line was -5 at 5 Dimes.

Since there's so little information available, I didn't want to jeopardize my chances in the pools.

who wants to take bets that 9 wins it. Will give even odds one way or another any body?

Originally posted by yisman

I bet someone tops 9.

KC?

Well, that was easy. Too bad he disappeared. Two topped 10 from the points pool already.

Looks like he dodged a bullet on that one. I would have assumed somebody could have caught 10. I think it has happened all but once.

Optional · 02-22-11, 09:47 PM

I haven't been able to get past a W4 in 2 months. And had hit L7 yesterday, so decided to see how long a losing streak I could get. On that basis I swapped my Real pick for Lyon... and of course broke the losing streak first go. :\

Does anyone else hate this game?

brooks85 · 02-23-11, 01:59 PM

We are going with the ESPN rules right, highest winning % breaks the tie?

yisman · 02-23-11, 02:06 PM

always have

brooks85 · 02-23-11, 02:07 PM

how long has this contest been going on with the sbr group?

yisman · 02-23-11, 02:16 PM

for like 13 months

yisman · 02-23-11, 03:00 PM

my toughest SftC decision in a long time today.

Whether to take Marseille with a W7 with good picks waiting tonight.

I picked Marseille at about 2:40, then switched to Georgia Tech at about 2:43, and then tried to switch back to Marseille but got locked out.

revnecro1273 · 02-24-11, 08:29 AM

man that porto match was disgusting...porto should have scored at least 3 goals in that match
