Attention Sherman.....

[Fishhead]

Tell me how handicapping comes into play for props like "Who will score first and last" "Will so and so get a technical".

Cmon man.

Tremendous skill involved(really)......and precisely why yours trully has never won one.

I did however nail a free ten-teamer sponsored by Skybook that involved the actual spreads and hit all ten for $15,000..................now that was luck.

Some people just don't appreciate the chance at these free contest I guess,:think2: but they still play them??

 

[BaseballGuy]

Its a free shot Baseball Guy...and people have won!

Do you recall what poster 'Assassin' did last year in one of these free shot contests? He won a serious amount of cash from Rio.

Ok Im not going to win this argument here. Rio is an advertiser.

That said people have won the lotto too.

 

[Journeyman]

I don't think its really an argument...the fact of the matter is quite a few people have won in these Rio contests and a few have won a ton in them.

Might as well say how many times is a fan going to fart. Who would be able to predict something like that?

For a free dime with a 7X turnover I say the fan farts 12 times, at Fenway, before the 5th inning when the score is knotted at 3 in the Month of September, Section 31 Row 8 seat 5.

I will do even better and give you the guy's name....starts with FISH and he will be in row 32 not row 8.

Another day, another dollar.

We please most.

Many people have won the RIO contests....

some of the PRIZES were HUGE... (superbowl, large amounts of Cash).....

wether it is a 'LOTTERY' type of contest or a 'CAPPING' contest shoudnt matter (the RIO contests are a combination of both)....

FACT IS, THEY ARE A FREE SHOT....

baseballguy, IMO, it is CLASSLESS to bash them on the one hand & TAKE THE FREE SHOT on the other hand....

AT LEAST BE MAN ENOUGH NOT TO PLAY THEM IF YOU ARE GONNA TALK SMAC....

I said this time and time again, it makes no difference whether people have won in Rio's contests.

My statement still stands. They are getting free advertising and giving people false hope. You are right though, I won't participate in the contests anymore.

BTW, my smack talking has been civil. :howdy:

 

[Illini]

Baseball guy, you are killing me!:lolBIG: I got 7 out 8! I got 7 out of 8! I know the rules say it was an 8-prop contest, but damnit I got 7! That is so unfair. I deserve to win.

Question: When you played little league or t-ball, did you get four strikes?

I see what you are saying.

BUTTT.. And hear me out on this one.

On several occasions Rio has offered a conso to people who got all but one. They sort of set a precedent by doing that. Yet in last nights contest no conso's?

Thats all.

 

[Mr.Leisure]

It`s a free shot and you have a chance to win what more can you ask for.

They are not getting free advertising , THEY PAY to advertise here, and therefore, for that fee, THEY HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO POST AS MANY THREADS IN OUR FORUM AS THEY LIKE....IF WE CAN HAVE 4 IDENTITY THREADS WE CAN SURE HAVE ONE RIO THREAD WHEN THEY PAY TO BE HERE.....

They gave away 1800.00 on Saturday, for NOTHING, how is that FALSE HOPE?

The only false hope here was hoping to get paid for 7/8 props when the contest was for 8/8......

 

[Alan Palmer]

I for one appreciate rios contests and I would not blame them for never offering another one after this crap, Nothing suprises me anymore!

 

[BaseballGuy]

Sport you are a tout now???

:lolBIG: Saw on another forum a poster I'm like no way, then I go check and IT'S true.

Am I the only person on this forum who offers picks without asking for anything in return?

Last nice guy standing always gets flamed.
:sad3:

Don't worry. I will send you 5 bucks. You can buy a lotto ticket every month for the next 5 months.

Same difference.

OK?>? LOL

 

[SportSavant]

please now, i have never now, nor will I ever ask anyone for a penny for a pick....


besides, dont think too many people are lining up to pay a 48% capper!!!


the website is simply set up to help me earn REFERRALS.... why not.... earn about 1-2k per year with it & it costs me 60$ a year to run....

you should look into it to supplement your baseball card revenue..... :finger:

 

[SportSavant]

in the same manner in which MY BOOKIE recently came on this forum & admitted to being 100% wrong....

now is the time....

that you... baseballguy...

do the same...

admit you are being an devil's advocate, everyone has proven such in this thread, & ADMIT that you are 100% wrong....
