You may have answered this already:

In MLB Contest is it limited to "exactly" five picks per week or a "minimum" of five picks.

Also, I know it is only sides, but is it only ML or runline if we choose?

Thanx,

So you don't have to pick 5 games each week Monte? Does that mean you can go 2 weeks without picking any if you want?

[dave T]

Got it. Five games per week like football Hilton contest. Thanx.

No you must pick exactly 5 games per week sides only no more no less.

If you pick 4 games for a week you automatically get a loss unless the game was the last day of the week and it got rained out which you get to make up.

Shall we assume that if someone does pick more than 5, only the last game(s) they entered will not be counted? I think that someone picked 6 already this week.

Thanks Monte. The way you said 5 games "Max" ... i assumed there was no minimum.

[tech fan]

what if someone picks all favorites at like -300 for the week and one guy picks 3 dogs at -150 and they both go 5-0 are they tied

No, it's based on Units won so the guy who hit the dogs is ahead.

Not sure. I think the sixth game simply doesn't count.

Are we supposed to keep track of the Units?

[wayne1218]

Monte has a records thread in the pools forum

[Spearit]

I believe the contest is confusing! Whether it is units or what plays are good or keeping a record, Not that great on sides anyway. I will post but unsure of what is going on! I will check the pool scene and see if the water is clearer there!

[geerunt]

in essence it is this.....if you are playing a favorite of -140, and you lose....you lose 1.4 "units". If it wins, you win 1 unit

If you play a dog at +130 and it loses, you lose 1 unit, but if it wins, you win 1.3 units.

Hope this is correct, but that is what it seems.....not too tough.

Thanks for running the contest, and keeping the records!

[dave T]

That's sounds right. Besides, if someone is brave enough to go with only 3 dollar faves, hey, more power to them. But when they bite, they bite hard. And they do bite! Otherwise we could just all quit our jobs and make a living betting 3 dollar faves.
