    Free Basketball Contest: $5,000 this week

    You guys all in the Free Basketball Contest?

    You can make picks until Saturday night (7 picks), and have a chance at the $5,000 prize-pool that pays the top 25 contestants.

    Let me know of any questions.

    How is this free? You need to make a deposit to collect the winnings?

    It's not an entry fee.

    The contest sponsor requires each player to make a $50 deposit, which they are free to wager however they please, and in turn the player becomes eligible for the $5,000 weekly pots, and $10,000 Grand Prize-Pool.

    good one but a very tough one. those best bets must come in. went 5-1 yesterday and guess what that 1 looser was the only best bet.
    I think it's the best pay off contest so far that I had seen.

    We're expecting to receive the list of eligible accounts from DSI today, winnings will follow soon thereafter. Once the majority of contestants are verified, we can expect to see the credits be completed sooner in the ~3 business day time-frame.

    Please explain how it is bad business. I think its the opposite as this forum and the books are in business to make money and not just give cash away to posters who have no intent to ever make a deposit into any of the books.

    Its very good business IMO. You have specials, contest and so on to pick up customers. And its not just new customers. Its current customers as well that have made a deposit since Dec.8. So if someone was already a customer they might have already made a deposit that will qualify.

    Its also not a fee its just a deposit. So this money is still yours as long as you do not lose it.

    Reading further, you don't even have to deposit the $50 if you carry a $200 balance made totally from a previous deposit. Geez, $200 tain't that much.

    yea those 2 moneyballs are the main plays. It' probably not mathematically possible to win top 25 if you don't hit those 2.

    yup, Im done for the week. But the great thing about this contest is if you win your first 4-5 games you can almost hedge a small play at a Book and ensure a visit to Percy Profit`s pad with either a win at the book or a nice contest prize

    I went 6-1 the first week but did not deposit until after my picks so all I got was 50 points instead of two hundred frijoles @ 2betdsi
