The Skybook Sportsbook NBA BEST BET Contest

[wilheim]

Newport thanks for the input. I do want to add that its up to the leader when the contests restarts.
Rule 6. If 2 or more people are on a different streak (one with 5 and one with 6 for example) at the same time, the higher winner has first option to take the winnings and start the game over.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> 2. This thread's benefit is really for the ability to match plays together by seeing other top selections from other gamers. I also like the keeping track of streaks. Can help in "pro" of someones selection or to look at a possible "fade" of someones selection based on their streak. So in summary the contest is great to call it a contest, but the INFORMATION gathered is more benefit than the contest.

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

FWIW those are almost my exact same thoughts. This contest will offer some very nice follow and fade possibilities.

I might have explained it better but the player with 6 consectutive wins has the option to keep going for the next level, until he either loses, or gets to 10 consecutive winners, the contest round stays open. The player with 5 consecutive wins cannot take down the round unless he is in the lead.

I THINK MANY SHOULD JOIN. I believe heavily in Streak playing. Hey I am parlay player. I better like streaks. And I also LIKE to monitor BOOK MANAGEMENT..maybe I will be doing it someday...You NEVER know

WILHELM HAS BEEN VERY GOOD as MANAGER OF THE NBA BEST BET AS PROPS 69 HAS DONE IN COLLEGE.

THIS IS WHAT A FORUM IS ABOUT GETTING SMARTER

JOIN up

Thanks RX FORUM


I think ONE RULE THAT ALL NEED TO REMIND themseleves so they are not arguing with WILHELM is RULE #10 STREAKS ARE ONLY GOOD WITH CONSECUTIVE DAY PICKS. TWO IN A ROW, AND YOU MISS A POST ON DAY 3. DAY 4 YOU ARE AT ZERO

My favorite quote,,I will never forget,,,, Im sure I remembered it wrong,,anyway,,

Albert Einstien was asked one time,,,,

"Albert,,, your the greatest mind in our time,,, Is there anything you dont understand??? Is there anything so Powerful that you cannot comprehend it?"

Albert paused for a moment,, and said,,

"compound Interest,,,, I dont understand compund interest,,, how someone can get something from nothing,,, that is the most powerful thing in teh unitverse"

Im sure the quote is wrong,,, time shapes these memories,,,, the idea was there,,,
and youare right,,, I will happily lay 10 bucks on myself everyday,,,,,I know I can go 5 in a row,,, I just did 7 on my own ,,,,two weeks ago,,,

good luck,,,

tater did you just compare me to Einstein

hahahahahaha

I will bet 10 dollars a day on you also

newport i agree with the compounding, no doubt. especially for the smaller player sometimes starting small and taking a shot at doubling up gm after gm is they only way theyre gunna take it to the next level to be a nickel and dime bettor.

 

[tatehill2000]

I was just talking to Zap about it,,,, kindof funny,,,
if you take the top 5 guys here,,,and bet 10 a day on all of em ,,, it only takes 1 to go 5-8 in a row to make things fun,,,,

the chance of anyones top 5 guys going 0-5 is unlikely,,,,,,, so you have 2 that win,,, and 3 that lost,,, your down 10 dollars,,, you can now start compounding the other 2 ,,, then at some point,,, you either pull out monies,,, or concievably you will lose that initial 50 dollars,,,
hahahah,,,, funny concept,,,, I am going to do it for fun,,,,
I hate that the Pigskin professor is opposite me,,,, UGH,,, and he posted right after I did,,haha,thats a kick in the nuts,,, hes been sharp lately,,,
good luck to all

Rob I was not SUGGESTING anything

I was saying that if you actually hit 10 in a row

DO NOT GIVE YOURSELF CREDIT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CONTEST

ASK YOURSELF HOW MUCH YOU LOST BY NOT COMPOUNDING IT.

Meaning the real benefit of the contest is getting people selections to review

not hitting 5 to 10 in a row
