Good to see that you are complying with the rules and using advertiser books. The reason that I raised the issue is because I was looking for a good line on CLE -1.5 yesterday and couldn't find anything good with the advertiser books, but I saw 5 DIMES at +310. RPM, I would like to know what the penalty is (if any) for failure to comply with the rules. We have now seen several instances of this and I believe that a tangible advantage has been obtained. Please advise and keep in mind that these rules need to have some force to have any meaning.

I CANT BELIEVE WHAT A DRAG THIS CONTEST HAS BECOME. it was supposed to be fun. not the whining bickering thing that it is turning into.
ham,
can you please tell me what plays were posted by non-advertiser book lines? and also, what exactly do you think i should do about it?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
All the plays posted with Oasis lines
I have no suggestions at this time re what should be done about it. Call all the plays losses?
No, I don't really think that would be fair.
It came to my attention when I saw AZ -110 yesterday. I don't know who else had the game at -110, but I think that was a damn nice line. I was shopping for a number the other day CLE -1.5 and found it at +330 at 5 Dimes, but could only find +270 at other books. I passed on the game and it won.
The point here being that it is an advantage to have a broader pool of lines to select from.
Here is a suggestion: How about if our team is allowed to shop lines at ANY book from here forward. MLB Forum still has to stick with ad books. Given that there are only 6 days left in the contest and that MLB Forum has had no restrictions on its line selections heretofore; my suggestion would still leave them with an advantage. Mitigating the advantage to whatever extent is possible seems to be the most reasonable solution at this time.
What do ya'll think? I am open to suggestions. Should we just declare Team RR the winners and leave it that?? LOL
Good luck guys, I don't think that these debates have made the contest less enjoyable. On the contrary, they have added zest to this competition (and increase traffic to the site).

ham, the purpose of using advertising books only was to give them some exposure to people so that other posters could get a look at their lines.
im very disapointed that non-advertisers were used and i didnt catch it. also, i must say that i would HATE to allow ANYONE TO use them.
if you honestly think that they found lines at oasis that were not offered at any advertising books, let me know and we will try to work out something to make this fair.

A significant effect of the restriction is to limit the pool of lines where we can shop. Whether or not this was the intended purpose is irrelevant.
It is impractical to determine post facto whether or not the non ad book lines were also available at ad books. The only solution I can think of is to simply provide us the same "advantage" to us for 6 days, despite the fact that they had this advantage for 9 days. It doesn't make Team RR whole by any means.

this is awful... IS THIS GUY REALLY THIS BIG A BABY? www.oasiscasino.com.. great book check it out.. They pay and have overnight bases up early.. the numbers are good and the people outstanding... www.wsex.com / www.vwager.com also two great books.. I endorse these 3 above all others.. The fact that I know these books are good and the fact that I know they pay is what this site is all about..

ok, from here on out, you can use any book. BASEBALL FORUM MUST USE ADVERTISING BOOKS.
but ham, if the same line that you use is available at an rx advertising book, you have to use the rx advertiser. ok?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
RPM, I will of course use the ad book line if it is available at the same price. Please clarify if I should email or post the name of any non ad shop.
