1. Each Forum will be allowed to enter exactly five different cappers for their team.

2. Each team member must have been a registered member of their site prior to 6/1/09. If one member registered after 6/1/09 then the team is disqualified.

3. When you have a full team of five, post the site here along with the 5 team members. You have until 12 PM NOON EST on Thursday to enter your team. Someone here at EOG may disqualify a site prior to the tip-off of the first game.

4. Each capper will begin with 10,000 units and a maximum of 1,000 units per play. If you make a play in excess of this amount, then the play is good for 1,000 units. If you make a play exceding your bankroll, then the play is void.

5. For the dog, you are risking 1 unit and for the favorite you are betting to win one unit. If the Lakers ML is -300/+250 and you bet one unit on the Lakers ML, you are risking 3 units to win 1unit. If you play Orl for 1 unit, then you are risking 1 unit to win 2.5 units. Side betting Lakers -6 -110, betting 1 unit would be risking 1.1 units to win 1.

6. Lines will be copied from Bookmaker and posted here. The lines won't change, even if they move at Bookmaker. You can only play what's posted on the forum. If you want to play something that's not listed on EOG, say something and it may be added.

7. Futures, Props and so on have a limit of 500 units per play.

8. No parlays - Don't want to worry about correlated parlays.

9. Plays must be posted prior to the listed tip-off at Bookmaker even if the tip-off is delayed. The time stamp at EOG will be used. Late plays are void. Someone from EOG will have to post when quarter and HT bets are closed. If no one closes it, hopefully everyone will be honest enough not to play it late. Otherwise we'll have to try and match up a history somehow with Matchbook or Stats Inc.

10. There will be a thread to post plays at EOG. You may make as many posts that you want in the thread. No bets will be voided. If you bet both sides of a game, then the first bet counts.

11. Post your forum, name, rotation number and bet. If the rotation number is different, then the bet stands according to the posted words.

12. Also post all plays at your own forum in one thread. EOG posts are official if different from the home forum.

13. Prize Money will be distributed to the teams with the most units won at the end of the NBA Playoffs.

14. EOG has contracted with an independent third party provider to tabulate the results of all plays posted.

15. The results from each day will be posted at EOG. Other forums may post the same.

16. If you find a mistake in the results, say something prior to the tip-off of the next game. If something isn't said, then the results stick.

17. Say something before the first game if you thing of another rule or rule that should be changed.

18. X-Bets are available at Matchbook for those looking for side bets.

GL and may the best forum win. :cheers

My advice to the EOG team is everyone bet the road teams and the unders. First Half. Second Half, game and ML for the game. Watch this cash a ton of $$$$.

What isnt clear is what happens if some dope has a 100 on The RX and they dont field a team? is it a no bet or is Shrink going to tell them they were shafted. :LMAO:cheers

I wish I was on the team I would wait till we had a lead then tank my plays and bet against the EOG for a nice payday at Matchbook. Now that would be a plan.

I don't own Matchbook so I can't control that outcome.

If I don't hear back from Rick A today about whether or not TheRx will play, I will ask Matchbook to take them down..

Thank you Raiders for making these rules for everyone to see.

Can I still field a team or is it too late? Some of the players have not made EOG accounts yet.

Can you also post your plays at the RX in one thread even if it's RR or promo. Also post them here. Plays will be in a mixed up order here. Makes it easy to see all RX plays together in one thread.

what thread has the official team members and confirmed forum entries?

(also, if a team screws up in the rules somehow it is eliminated right? there is no mulligan?)
 
Re: Official Rules - Shrink's $2k forum challenge

Re: Official Rules - Shrink's $2k forum challenge

No money to put up?

I think JeffJonesAdvantagePlayerFreeroll.com wants in on this.

Our team:
1) Jeff Jones
2) Caesar Jones
3) Maria at the bus stop
4) Shecky from the old Executive Club
5) Kreskin

We are five very important, busy people, so we'll just do our picking now. Just give us the other side of all the EOG picks.

Good luck to all.

Re: Official Rules - Shrink's $2k forum challenge

Was wondering if each team could have an alternate in case a team member has an emergency and can't post. Just a thought.

Re: Official Rules - Shrink's $2k forum challenge

what is the exact definition of this?

7. Futures, Props and so on have a limit of 500 units per play.


props are those alternative lines for example?
is anything other than a side or game or game moneyline considered a prop?

i would just suggest you say 1000 max wager on anything no matter what to avoid any strange inerpretation of this.

i would also suggest you make a minimum wager amount limit of say 100, just to define something reasonable and help the graders.

Re: Official Rules - Shrink's $2k forum challenge

Re: Official Rules - Shrink's $2k forum challenge

trytrytry- like the changes. Max bet on any play is now 1000 units, min 100. Post your team and 5 members here.

I'll start a new thread or someone else once we have all the teams listed with their 5 players sometime between 11PM Wed and tip-off Thurs.

Also complete rules with changes wil be posted again.

mo or mod with have to take care of the post review.

Any suggestions on how to handle post review because HT betting will be available? PR all plays the last game until tip-off and just let the HT bets go?

if I love a pick....i.e. yankees -200.....is the max bet 1000 to win 500 or 2000 to win 1000?

I assume the latter

nah - Just volunteered like I use to volunteer stuff at OGD. Like these contests. Glad Shrink has an outside party grading this stuff. I wasn't volunteering for that. That's where the work is at.

You can make a max bet of 1000 units. At -200 you would be risking 2000 units to win 1000 units.

When you make the play, just say 1000 units on the LAL ML as an example. Also add rotation number to make things easy

Re: Official Rules - Shrink's $2k forum challenge

LOL 1,000 unit plays

500 unit props? 500 units on a prop? whats a unit $1?

Not to get all Jeff Jones, but this is the perfect contest for all the forum goofballs.

How many units will they combine to lose, 50,000?

can someone put that up at matchbook?

Gimme the over, for 10,000 units :cheers
 
Re: Official Rules - Shrink's $2k forum challenge

Re: Official Rules - Shrink's $2k forum challenge

additions - 1 post minimum for every player on a team.

My decisions will be final for any discrepancies in rules and Matchbook.
