[biggamer3]

Dont like this at all compared to last years check in mail right away:

All prize amounts will be credited to the contestants new sportsbook account and are subject to a 5x rollover as well as the Terms and Conditions of their chosen sportsbook. Weekly prize amounts will be credited twice throughout the season ... at the conclusion of NFL Week 7 and the conclusion of NFL Week 14.

He means he came in 10th place at the end of the season for the season ending prizes. Your record is tracked all year based on how you do each week.

[onthewhat]

crazy will you answer my question on bottom of page 1

do you have to complete wagering requirements before being eligible to play beat the prick, or just simply deposit?

No, you don't need to rollover funds to begin playing BTP, you need to rollover your funds before withdrawing of course depending the bonus. You just have to fund the account to play with a minimum of $100.

This contest isn't that good anymore.

[Iwinyourmoney]

Wow. Horrible. Count me out. Should be checks in the mail like last year, not 5x rollovers. Not worth my time. Sad really

[diogee]

F*ck it...I haven't read through but already told the Prick I was going to win a little even though I have not a clue one what I am doing. That ****ing Prick busted my AQ out of the tourney with AK....revenge.

[seaborneq]

What is considered a NEW account? One set up after this thread started? One set up last week? Define NEW account please.

[accuscoresucks]

im thinking i agree with iwin damn thats a high rollover,what do they think people only use one book or something


i have not read the rules or know what book it is yet but honestly id rather ride on my own as always,if i need money from a contest than i must be pretty bad off

[swifty]

I only have two account. Bodog, betus are the only ones. I can't put any money in them from USA all my cards will not go thought becuase of the laws. I can't wait to kick some butt on mr prick this year.......

swifty i am not trying to sound like in know something here but my advice to you would be to get the HELL out of those books right now

look up those books you use on the review site and mabye youll change your mind.i hate to see new guys like yourself being taken advantage of..those books are scams get out now while you hopefully can

[Doc JS]

CrazyL,

1. Just signed up for BTP, when I copied and pasted the email verificaiton link in the my browser, it just took me back to the SBRContest main page. Is this what was supposed to happen?

2. Many, not all, but many of the players here at SBR are Rec guys. We don't want or need a bunch of different books. For me, BetJam and Bookmaker serve my needs perfectly. If I have to have a third book, I want it to be 5dimes. I think you guys have seriously misjuded your constituency.

Like Scratch,xxxxxx , I opened a new account with 5 dimes for the 128 man handicapper tourney which I have not funded. I do not understand why, if I'm perfectly willing to forgo the additional money from SBR, that couldn't count as my new account?

3. If SBR refuses to let my unfunded 5dimes account count as my new account, can I cancel it/close it and then open a new 5 dimes account?

3. And I don't understand why WE can't decide which account, among those books who are sponsors, our money goes into. Why does it have to go into the NEW account?

I understand this is a free contest (it's not really, if you have to open a new account for at least $100, but that's another matter all together) and I don't have to play if I don't want to, but the rules changes from last year make this far less attractive for me.

PS. Are you guys seriously encouraging people to open up BoDog accounts????

Doc

[picantel]

I agree with the others. The last few years have been great but this year the rules are awful which is really disappointing as I and I am sure others have waited eagerly all year to play. Half the sponsored books I would not fund if my life depended on it and most of the others I already have accounts with. I think there is like 1 book I do not have an account with which makes me have to fund it whether I like it or not. Some of the books I have an account with but have never funded so they apparently do not count. Hope SBR reworks the rules.

Hi Doc,

I'll doublecheck about the unfunded 128 man deal. All I know in general is we are requiring new accounts be opened for this contest, please rest assured there won't be any garbage books offered in this. We always take care of you guys as far as promoting the best available options, and that's not different here with this or any contest at SBR.

Sorry for the inconvenience but again, there's a lot of free cash at stake and I think in the end everyone who may not like some of the new stipulations will ultimately have a fun time.

[mtneer1212]

CrazyL,

The unfunded Bookmaker account question is one that a lot of us have. This is a situation where I had a CRIS account, it was transferred to Bookmaker, but I have never used it, funded it, in any way. I believe there are multiple cases of us in this situation.

I understand the money is free. I just don't understand why a NEW account is required. I like the SBR sponsored books, BetJam and 5dimes. Why would you make me open somewhere else?

[Doc JS]

please rest assured there won't be any garbage books offered in this.

BoDog is still on the list, right???

When you put BoDog on a list with BetJam, BookMaker, 5Dimes, and Legendz, it looks like a whore in church!

And you KNOW what I'm saying is true!!!!

Doc

[Scratch]

For a potantial prize pool of $70,000, I'm sure most people would be willing to open an account at a new book. I'm thinking about throwing $100 to Las Palmas. Does anyone know if they still accept eCheck as a deposit method from the US?

Regardless of how the rules shake out, I'm grateful to SBR and the sponsoring books for hosting this contest, as I'm sure most posters are. 70 dimes is a lot of money to put on the line, and I don't care who you are on here, it's a lot to you too.

[Doc JS]

Scratch,

Yeah, but..............only getting the money credited twice during the season (after NFL weeks 7 & 14) and the 5X roll over requirement are both big downers.

The BTP contest was MUCH BETTER last year when the check was in the mail on Monday and you got it by the following Friday.

Doc

[durito]

I love it.

Less people, more money, extra bonuses. Great job SBR.

[durito]

People seem to forget you had to deposit at cris 2 and 3 years ago to play and that winnings were given at Cris with 5x rollover. Last year was the only year you didn't (and last year had the least amount of weekly money given away). It was way easier to win weekly back then.

i agree with you whole heartedly Doc, but if people gripe too much, they might do away with it completely.

I've seen it happen in other aspects in life. Employers giving out a free lunch, people complain, free lunch disappears...etc.

I'm sure you see my point. It is free to play, even if the payouts and rollovers delay the payout. At least if I win something, I know I'll be funded for awhile.

Just don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth, that's all I'm sayin

[capitalist pig]

Yea and dont forget that single one time deposit gets you in the MLB contest for Sept 08, the NBA contest for 08-09 and the NCAA contest for 08-09 also. Which if I read right, they were going to be 5k a week also. Yea the 5x rollover is a bit of an overkill, but for those with time, it shouldnt even matter, JMO.

Can someone answer this question for me? It would be appreciated. Or does anyone else have this concern?

Scratch,

I hear what you're saying!

I'll be whole lot happier if they let my 1-week old unfunded 5dimes account count for my new account!

Doc

[Scratch]

seaborneq,

This has been brought up a day or two ago. I'm under the impression from CrazyL that it has to be set up after registration opened, which was Friday evening I believe.

However, I believe SBR is looking into this further, as a number of posters opened empty accounts for the handicapping contest.

There's a chance these might count.

[Doc JS]

Can someone answer this question for me? It would be appreciated. Or does anyone else have this concern?

seaborneq,
Yeah, I think a LOT of us have the same concern. Scratch and I opened 5dimes accounts for the 128 Handicap tourney. Havent funded it yet. I have the account about a week. Shouldn't that count as a "new" account"? Especially, if it has never been funded.

There are others who have a BookMaker account back from when BetCris was moving it's American players to BookMaker. Some of those folks have never funded their "new" BM account. Shouldn't that count, too?

Waiting to hear from CrazyL or Sean or somebody...

Doc

Im pretty sure it means you need to open an account at one of the listed sponser books, one that you dont already have an account with, JMO.

Correct. Not everyone is back from Vegas yet but there's no reason to currently think the terms are intended to mean anything other than whats written, which is, you must open a new account at one of the books listed.

This is a separate contest than the 128 man, totally different.

So, CrazyL,
If I call 5dimes and cancel my account which I have never funded and open a new account at 5dimes, will that count for BTP?

Thanks CrazyL, I'll give the 100 bucks to play. It is well worth it.

[Dark Horse]

Folks ... we're getting some more sponsors signed up for SBR Contests as we speak. If you already have accounts at every existing sponsor, then please check back with us in a few days ... should have a few more to choose from any day now.

You have to sign up with a new sportsbook to compete in BTP or other contests?

I hope not. That would be a real turnoff for those who already have accounts at those books. It would also add a manipulative element to SBR, that I had hoped never to see. On my personal scale SBR would get an immediate downgrade from A to C.

Frankly, I'm stunned. The one place that had integrity as its trademark just tossed it down the drain. You want us to sign up with books, so you can get a commission? Don't you realize that long term posters have, long ago, used SBR precisely to resolve the books issue once and for all?

You need credits now to participate in contests? You have got to be kidding! And on top of that you give long term posters the short end of the stick. Who on earth came up with this idea?

[Dark Horse]

SBR, you can NOT manipulate people in this way, and maintain your integrity.

It's one or the other. Manipulation. Or integrity. They don't mix.

They've done this on most every contest they've ever had.

You don't remember beat the prick in 2005 and 2006?

Or any of the baseball contests where you need an account at a certain book?
