This tourney will feature two posters going head to head for a week. Here are the Rules for round 1:

We'll have the following sports:
  • MLB: moneylines/runlines/totals (no favs over -140)
  • WNBA: sides/totals/moneylines (no mls over -140)
  • Soccer: Sides/Totals (no mls over -160)
  • Tennis: (no mls over -175)
  • AFL: Sides, Totals, Moneylines. (no mls over -140)
The rules:
  • This contest will be graded on units, not wins/losses.
  • Post your plays in your individual contest thread. These threads are for your picks, talking about the matchup, and so on. Your up to date matchup statistics will be updated in those threads daily.
  • edited posts will count as 2 losses (0-2 -2.80 units) if edited after the start of your individual contest.
  • All MLB games are ACTION
  • official lines will be posted at the top of the Contest forum. Those are the lines to be used.
  • You will have a max number of plays per day set at 2, a minimum of 0.
  • You will have to make 7 plays over the course of five days. You must make 7 plays over the course of the 5 days in order to have the chance to move on. The first round max is 7 plays. The first round minimum is 7 plays.
  • A 'no action' wager does not count as one of your 7 plays. ie a canceled game or a player retiring before a tennis match begins.
  • We will play Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. At the end of the day Wednesday, we'll get started towards round No.2.
  • You may not use the same play as your opponent. Two people going head to head can not use the exact same play. So, if you see your opponent on a play, you may not use it. The first to post a pick is entitled to that pick.
  • You can not play on the same team as your opposition. You can't play the ML/1H/or Spread on any team that your opposition has selected.
  • You can not play the same team or total twice in the same game. ie. runline and moneyline, first five and game, first half and game.
  • Every pick under 7 you make will be graded as a -1.40 loss.
  • In round 2 we will go to 10 games over the course of 6 days.
  • each play is 1 unit. a favorite is 'to win' one unit while a dog play is a risk of 1 unit.
    1. a -140 loser will = -1.40.
    2. a +140 winner will = +1.40.
    3. a +140 loser will = -1.00.
    4. a -140 winner will = +1.00
    Added Rule:
    You can not bet both sides of the same line. You can wager on both the total and side of a single game, but you can not bet on side a and side b, or the over and the under.
    Added Rule:
    If you are saving a game for the last day and it is rained out or canceled, please post a backup game just in case. You can do this on the board or send me a PM.

Prizes:
  • 1st: $500 Cash and Free entry into the NFL Post up Contest
  • 2nd: $300 Cash
  • 3rd and 4th: $150 Cash

Re: ___The EOG Handicapping Tourney___

I see the no copy rule. What about taking the opposite team as your opponent? I would think that with so many plays, that wouldnt allowed as well. Maybe that is listed in the rules as well, just didnt see it

You can fade your opposition, you simply cant play the same side. If your opposition takes Cinci ml, you cant take Cinci ff or cinci rl.

Good Luck ballwonder. I wasn't aware the contest was going to be everyday or so and last so long. My job prevents me from spending so much time logged on.

Thanks again Mo.
 
Re: The EOG Handicapping Tourney: We Start on Saturday
