CarolinaDaze · 01-11-12, 07:56 AM

I only know a few of the top players, but i love a challenge, and it will give me a good reason to watch it. So im in both.

For sure Opti, i'm in 25 each tournament 50 total. And would be willing to do another 100 if you give me 2 to1 odds? As i rarely bet tennis but on the few occasions i have, i usally stole Shari's or Your Picks, lol.

I'm kinda points broke or I would have suggested more to start with CD.

I'm nursing a 4-20 tennis record for 2012 so far. Think you should offer me the 2/1!

Optional · 01-12-12, 12:41 AM

Although I've come good the last 2 days, as soon as I decide to take a break from betting for a moment.

CarolinaDaze · 01-12-12, 12:53 AM

I know the feeling, started my spreadsheet 3days ago, went 8-0, sitting 3-5 today hoping Miami has the lead with 1:00 left and LA has to foul them. Im good with the 50 Opti, saving some for Nascar & MLB.

ttwarrior1 · 01-12-12, 01:24 AM

sent 20 , sending other 20 this weekend.

makman · 01-12-12, 03:55 AM

BobW · 01-12-12, 06:16 AM

jjgold · 01-12-12, 06:34 AM

Hi Bob - Because you're not an SBR Pro, you can only transfer 2 points once every 24 hours. If you'd like, you can start paying now and just pay me 2 a day until you're all sorted.

NO

Ok Shari I did not know how it worked
This is a very complex tourney you run

maybe

jjgold · 01-12-12, 12:34 PM

I should have free entry because of all expert advice I give as far as tourney procedures

Yes, if you'd like to enter both or just one contest I will pay your entry fee. Without your useful suggestion 4x a year that SBR should have tennis software, I'm not sure what I'd do. xo

yisman · 01-12-12, 12:49 PM

snaggletooth, you can have free entry because no way you actually enter the picks correctly.

Even if you got someone to do it for you, your tennis knowledge is somewhat lacking.

I sent 14 points..TTWARRIOR said he will pay the rest to you by Friday night 2:00AM (GMT -3)

Shari this is complicated procedure but trying to play the game here

jeffdane · 01-12-12, 01:56 PM

any specific way to send picks? or do i just send a message with just the winners each round?

is this like a bracket where the all picks must be entered before the tourney starts or do we submit winners after each round?

sorry if this was explained already. i got some free time so im in. thanks

jeffdane · 01-12-12, 01:58 PM

i reread the rules and understand now. all picks must be submitted before first match starts. ok, thanks.

Once the draw comes out I'll make 2 separate threads for men and women with the draws and the sample entry. I'll also include hints on where to go to make it easier to pick your players and then you just have to copy and paste.

A few hours and it'll be out. If I'm a bit slow putting the draw threads up today, just assume I'm at swimming lessons with the bambino and they'll be coming xo

Jeffrey I had to read the rules over 40 times

I think I understand it now

Okay Shari, I am doing this right now so I can the Men's Singles Contest. Can we make this arrangement?

Yep, that's fine Bob. Head over to the Men's thread and grab the sample entry. When you've got it sorted (maybe visit the Tennis Channel's contest first to make it easier

) just PM me your picks. Best of luck!

Nickelicious · 01-14-12, 04:13 AM

Chyrist, what a clusterfuk contest. This is the best Aussie Open contest SBR can swing? Freakin' joke.

horja1 · 01-20-12, 04:43 AM

any news on the prizes?
