BTB's CONTESTS THREAD (Tonight's contest see post #674)) - Beyond the Bets - 08-23-2011 10:28 AM
I'll hold regular contests throughout the season and will be putting them all in this thread, so be sure to check them out on occasion. The prizes will be modest, but enough to keep your interest.
Also, the contests will be free, so it's sort of a no-lose situation for you.
TODAY'S CONTEST
Hit an 8-team parlay, win $165.
Rules:
1. You must play 7 MLB games tonight, and 1 NFL game later in the week. You can take money lines or run lines or over/unders. However, you must choose eight different games. (i.e., you can't take a side and a total within the same game.)
2. All MLB selections must be -120 or less.
3. Use current lines from BetOnline.com.
4. If two or more people win, we'll hold a "pick off," in which you make one play per day head-to-head. (I'll probably feel bad for whoever takes second, so you'll probably win something anyway.
)5. Deadline to enter: 7 p.m. ET.
6. Post your picks in this thread.
GOOD LUCK!

I'm an idiot, I read it as 7 total, not 7 MLB. Let's try this:
OAK/NYY over 9.5
MIL/PIT over 8.5
LAD -115
WA -115
OAK +1.5 -105
TB -1.5 +100

I hope all you guys actually put 5 bucks on these parlays your playing, since it would payout a heck of alot more than 160 bucks
RE: BTB's CONTESTS THREAD - Skating Tripods - 08-23-2011 03:48 PM
BOS/TEX o10 -105
TB RL -1.5 EV
ARI ML EV
MIL/PIT o8.5 -110
HOU RL +1.5 -140
CIN/FLA o7.5 +105
CLE RL -1.5 +120
And Bills PK for the NFL game
Sorry if I did this wrong. Hard to do on my phone.
I see MLB = -120 or less so the HOU +1.5 is ineligible.
I'll change it to HOU/COL under whatever the number is.

Well if we are pointing out some flaws:
NFL game?-- (maybe I'm mistaken, could we have picked the NFL game later in the week?)

A $1 bet would pay 'em $165.
For $5? Hang on a sec ...
