    Welcome to the 2005 "Sirius" Baseball Challenge

    I started and i renamed a new thread because i think some people might have been confusing it with my previous MLB pool

    This is the latest creation from wayne1218 and Spark for a Bettorschat 2005 MLB Contest.

    The Rules will be simple and the prize at the end will be the best yet (imo). I've done them for money, jersey's, and with Spark for Gift Cards in the daily contest. This one we gave alot of thought to and it will be given out at a perfect time!

    Rules:

    #1 - Pick one Underdog and one Favorite every Saturday during the MLB Season. Each game will count as One Unit each.

    #2 - You can pick any game of your choice for each.

    #3 - Closing lines from ********* will be used. You will be credited one way or the other for whatever it says there unless obvious error is noted.

    #4 - If you fail to make picks you will be given a (0-2) -3.00 Unit record for that week. It will be -1.00 unit for the dog and -2.00 unit for the favorite.

    #5 - If you pick 2 games and the closing line shows them both as favorite's or dogs you will be given that same (0-2) -3.00 unit record. Make sure the line is not too close to even so this doesn't happen either way.

    #6 - This contest will run through the World Series. Every Saturday during the Playoffs and World Series the games will go from one unit each to three units each.

    #7 - Picks will be made in the weekly thread ONLY and can be done well in advance of Saturday. I will try to get the thread up by Monday or Tuesday of each week. You will be able to look ahead at pitching matchups and post your plays if you are not going to be around.

    #8 - DO NOT post a price or a pitcher with your teams. PLEASE post 2 team names and that's it, i'll do the rest!


    Prize:

    Sirius Satellite Radio System for your car.

    "Sportster" Complete Car Solution



    Key Features:

    In addition to all of the capabilities SIRIUS receivers are known for, the Sporster also includes the following unique features:

    Game Alert:
    Prompts when your favorite NFL or other sports teams are playing on SIRIUS
    S-Seek can be used to prompt for additional team games

    Game Zone:
    Lists all of the play-by-play games and scores on SIRIUS by league (NFL, MLB, etc.)
    Easy access to all your favorite teams’ play-by-play games in “My Game Zone”

    Jump Button:
    One touch tune to traffic and weather reports for your city or tune to your favorite SIRIUS channel

    Unit comes with a Car kit

    Other features:
    30 channel presets
    Preset tune mode
    S-Seek
    Built-in wireless FM transmitter with variable frequency settings
    Direct channel entry
    Wireless remote control
    Auto dimmer
    Time-based features (alarm, program alert, etc.)


    This prize will be given out during October and in the middle of football season. Sirius has the NFL Contract and you can listen to every game going. It is GREAT! You can also put your favorite team logo on the screen. It is called the Sportster because it was made for the Sports Fan and it is set up that way.

    If you can't install it yourself than you will have to pay for that to be done. Alot of people i know did the install themself.

    There is a monthly charge for this and it's about $12 a month. You will be responsible for that too if you want the service.

    I might limit this to 75 people with some over that for long time members who might have missed the thread.


    Sign up here in this thread. This will start this Saturday or next. I'm not sure yet..... to be determined for now!

    Good Luck and Enjoy!

        It's easy to install. You don't have to hard wire it. If you have a cigarette lighter that works, you're in. It would take 20-30 minutes to install.


        ....... and you better get out of last place if you plan on winning MLB money!

              Wayne-Can a pick be changed prior to game time? I can see many reasons why this should be allowed: a favorite becomes a dog or vice versa, meaning you now have two dogs or two favorites or say you bet a favorite on say Wednesday, which is a favorite based on pitching matchup and then another dog.
              By Friday the pitching makeup changes and your favorite is now a dog meaning you have two dogs. I am sure there are other situations also, but those two jumped out at me.
              In any event I would like to try this.
              ps How about a booby prize for whoever finishes last?

                  savage they can change but that makes it very difficult on me. When someone posts their plays on page one and i edit it in their record, what happens when i see another post from them on page 7? That's right, i have no clue what their record was before i edited it once. I then have to open a new thread get to the forum and find it. Sounds easy right? Not with 50 or 70 because it gets annoying. If you are here to change it on Saturday then i suggest waiting until Saturday to post it.

                  People posting on a Tuesday for Saturday are usually people going away and they won't know any different anyway, and if there is a suspected pitching change then just make sure to take a team you know will be favored not matter what (like the yanks at home). It's not that hard to do and if your going to be around Friday or Saturday then just wait until then.

                      No problem Wayne for me, as I am always around;my point is that I think you should discourage people in general from betting until Saturday unless they are sure they won't be able to for whatever reason;in that way it will be usually apparent which team is the favorite and which is the dog and prevent messy situations.
                      In any case it sounds like a great idea, and count me in.

                          savage i agree. Every contest has it's issue's but it's really hard to get people from all different parts of the country on the same page. I guess what i'm trying to say is if this contest doesn't fit into someone's schedule then they should probably pass on it. Hey, it's free so they still lose nothing picking on Tuesday's if that's what they have to do.
