  • BettorsChat Basketball Contest :

    Rules :

    20 games or totals must be played per week , a new thread will start each week to keep them in . All lines will be the final lines from Scoresandodds . com for everyone . For every game missed you will be charged with a automatic loss and " Please no edits " so we can keep this fair , if you change your mind because of any reason please do so in another post. Prize is a 100.00 cashiers check for the winner after 9 weeks of play supplied by me . The tally will be straight up wins and pushes will count as a half point to reward you for not losing that game and keeping the total number of games squared up for everyone , 9 weeks of 20 games is 180 games to be played and everyone must meet this or be spanked . I would like for everyone to keep thier own record ( which will be viewed by all ) and back-checked weekly by myself to catch any errors if they exist.

    Added Bonus System :

    Every week there will be available 3 bonus games for you to use a 10* , 5* , 3* selection if you wish to ( not mandatory ) and along with the normal scoring you can use these with your games of choice . But if you lose them they will count against your score also , so be carefull with them cause a bad 10* could wipe-out a whole week of winning but on the other hand a wise 10* could give you a extra week of winning . On pushes that bonus * are used , you still get a half point for your push but you have used your selection bonus for the week ( can only be used once a week ).

    Example score :

    Say I go 12 - 8 for the week , and I use all three bonus selections but lose my 5* selection and win my 3 * & 10* my score would look like this :

    12 wins = 12
    3* ==== 03
    10* ==== 10
    ----------------------
    total ==== 25
    minus -----
    8 loses ===8
    5* ======5
    -----------------------
    final ===== 12 points

    Easy enough to understand and adds a longshot flavor to it !

    Scoring Record should look like this :

    10 - W / 10 - L / P - O / Bonus + or -
    -------- then --------
    Your final tally

    That way the same amount of games are played for everyone and very easy to keep track of , meaning every week everyone should have the same " exact " amount of games . Bonus points of course will be different for each player as will final scores .

    When using your bonus be sure to use it like :

    LaSalle - 3 / 10*



    Starts this Sat. 17th of Jan. and runs till Sun. 13th of March at which time the Classic Elimination Tournament kicks in ( or phase two ) that starts with Selection Sunday ( the 14th ) . You must participate in the first one to qualify for the second one . Then phase two or the classic elimination one kicks in and runs till the end of the Final Four ( April 3 to 5 ) at which time the best man standing ( or even reaching the national champ ) will recieve another 100.00 cashiers check supplied by me .

    Let it be known by all that Monte has final say in this matter and we should all thank him for allowing this to be held here .



    Please feel free to play because its only fun and we need to make sure Phil Jr. doesnt take the Crown or we could create a glutton

      wayne :

      I thought about this and can still use help , but thats why I felt that no disqualifications should apply because of the nature of the lines only appearing 24 hrs or so before gametime , and then people can miss games ( for whatever reason ) and still be in the hunt . And scoresandodds seemed to work well for the other one ?

      Thanks and pitch-in ?

        Ya

        I was just wondering cause some books don't put them out til' sat morning and i wasn't sure. Are we picking the games that you give us or any games? I was also curious cause you know how much College hoops change lines and do we pick all 20 on saturday?

        Sorry to be a pain in the ass but thanks!

            Stop it

            no pain at all , and I would guess that the closing lines as we used at scoresandodds maybe ( unless somebody can come-up with something better ? ) Dont you think we should spread them over the week because of some good games on Mon & Wed. & Sat. and I can post a warning here on the main board to help everyone remain aware ?

              That sounds good. Maybe we could use the Espn games each night. There usually pretty good match ups.

                  a great idea !

                  it would help to keep interest up because thats what befalls most of these things , and no one could argue the outcome (thats for sure )

                  I think I can get a schedule and post them in advance (minus the lines of course or I could post my lines at first to give a general feel for the game because I am not that far off with them and then post the actual ones on game day ) and give everyone a chance to look them over and do thier homework !

                      cash
