Click here for entry fee

The winner of this week long contest will win 500 ATB points second prize will get 250 points and third 100 points. If a poster picks correctly on all 15 picks they double their points. The prizes will be doubled the more posters enter the contest. For the prizes to be doubled there will need to be over 20 participates and to be doubled again over 35 participates and so on going up in increments of 15.
The total plays and units from each week will be tabulated and there will be a season ending prize for the top three posters with a minimum of 150 picks and a dead last winner also a minimum of 150 picks.

1. 5000 points
2. 3000 points
3. 1500 points

Dead Last: Most negative units 1000 ATB Points

The contest will run weekly every Tuesday through Sunday night. Posters and Mods can enter but only one entry per User-name and IP.

How the contest works. Each night I will post lines for tomorrow baseball games and you can pick from Run Line Bet, Money Line Bet, or Over/Under Bet. I will keep track of all the units people have and whoever has the most units at the end of the 15 plays and Sunday night will win the free play.
Maximum five plays per day and need to make 15 plays for the entire week no more no less ending Sunday if you go over the amount of 15 only the first 15 plays will count. A push is counted as a non play and can be re-picked up until Sunday when all push are counted as a play and zero units. You must include correct rotation number or the play will not count. First tie breaker is overall record. Second tie breaker most plus units on day six and the third tie breaker is most posts on the forum

For Example:
Date: Apr 30 Time 8:08 PM Game Number 957 Team: NY- METSR.A. DICKEY -R-120 o8-110 -1½+140 Game Number: 958 Team: HOU-ASTROSB. NORRIS -REV u8-110 +1½-160

So if you pick the Mets RL you would put:
957 NY Mets -1.5 +140
You win that bet you get +140 Units
You lose that bet you lose 100 units

If you Pick Mets Money Line you would put:
957 NY Mets: -120
You win that bet you get: 100 units
You lose that bet you are lose 120 units.

By giving posters the options to take underdogs and run lines it means you are really never out of the contest! Even if you miss tomorrow you can still enter any time this week up till Friday and just make 5 plays Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Remember maximum 5 plays per day and must make 15 plays total no more no less. Need post all picks before the start of the games no late entries will be accepted.
Any questions I am more than happy to answer them! Lines should be up by around 3pm Monday.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE,

Contest Guru

why not just post the plays and delete the rest? be a little easier to read.

**yisman** · 06-12-2012, 07:25 PM

pretty easy this way, just look at what's bolded

I'd rather do that than retype plays and lines

**HighGradeEcho** · 06-12-2012, 07:35 PM

ok man glad im not the grader

the one where you bold two plays on the same line can be confusing that's all.

**yisman** · 06-12-2012, 07:41 PM

tuesday play #5

texas/arizona under 10 +100

**yisman** · 06-12-2012, 07:42 PM

for the toronto one, I did type out manually the plays

first line of post

then I bolded as well

I'm also glad you're not the grader
