    Yeah I have tried the 3rd question 4 or 5 times and got it right only once and that was just a guess. I stop at the 2nd now.

            Which of the following is a professional basketball team?
            • Cleveland Indians
            • Orlando Magic
            • Texas Rangers
            • Seattle Seahawks

            What made Tony Dorsett's NFL record 99-yard touchdown run extra special?
            • He Kicked The P.A.T. Afterwards
            • Only Ten Players Were On The Field
            • He Scored It For His Dying Father
            • It Was His 100th Career Touchdown

            Before the 2006 season, the New Orleans Saints signed which second place player in MVP voting?
            • Donte Stallworth
            • Reggie Bush
            • Marques Colston
            • Drew Brees

            Easiest 150 pointer ever.

                    Too tempting to not go for the 3rd question, will only try it once per week. Pure guess finally prevails

                        couldn't even read my question today. my question portion was mixed in with the banner ads and could only see the answers, apparently guessed right and took the 10 points, i've never tried only the 1st question in the past............

                            Never go for the third either, at least anymore. I look forward to trivia every week though. Pretty fun

                                I never even go for number 2, I just look at my 10 points say why risk it.

                                          Yeah, I hit the 50 points for the first time in a while today. Been missing question #2 the last few weeks. It seems to me that it really doesnt pay to try to hit question #3. You are only getting paid +150 on the 3rd question ( risking 50 to win 75 more ). You are getting paid +400 on question #2 ( risking 10 to win 40 more ) so unless you can hit the 3rd question 40% of the time it isnt worth it.

                                          The only advantage I see with going for question # 3 is you get to see more questions, which will help you in the long run because they recycle the questions. I hit on question #2 today, but I had already gotten that question a month or so ago. That is why I knew the answer. We should start a thread where everyone posts the question they got and the answer. Soon we would have all the questions and answers in that thread. But I imagine that would just cause SBR to get new questions.

                                              Today my 1st question was

                                              How many points is a kick after touchdown worth ???

                                              I have gotten that 3 or 4 times already


                                              2nd question was --- what is the hometown of the man credited with inventing American Football ??

                                              Answer - New Haven, Conn

                                              I have gotten that one twice


                                              Iced, what are the right answers, just in case I get those questions someday

                                                Well, there are basically two ways to look at this...

                                                1. From a strictly "playing a percentages" angle, it doesn't make sense to go for the third question. It's a hard question. Usually, you're just guessing. You've got a 25% chance of getting it right and there is only a 1.5X increase in points.
                                                (10 points for one question, 50 points for two questions, 75 more points for getting the third question correct)

                                                2. You came into the game with nothing, so what the hell...take a shot at the ring.

                                                Personally, I quit if I get the first 2, and then go lose it all in the casino! LoL...

                                                    I lost on the last Q today. Brutal.

                                                    Before some year, what was the last year the Nuggets made the playoffs?

                                                    I was one year off with my answer.

                                                        Both of my questions today were questions I had already had.

                                                        1st question ( no joke )

                                                        How many downs does an NFL team get to get a first down, score or punt

                                                        Choices

                                                        2
                                                        4
                                                        6
                                                        10

                                                        LOL

                                                        Second question

                                                        how many TDs and Ints did Mcnabb have in 2004

                                                        it was 31 and 8. I only knew because I had it before and missed it.
