Is there a limit to the amount of 2 or 3 unit plays you can make in a day or over the course of the 2 weeks?

No limit except there's a 4 play max per day so there's your limit daily. For the 2 weeks, no limiit.

Just so everyone is aware, we will have to set this up and run it in the Community Contest Forum.

For the time being, I will get a Signup Forum up and post it in this thread and once the Startup date approaches, I will direct the players to the other Forum.

So all of your 30-45 plays for the 2 week period can be anywhere from a 1-3 unit play JOH? Just to clarify.
Seems like with this in place everyone will be banging out all plays at 3 units. Especially if you're down at any point. No compromise here at all?
And your 1 parlay is for a single unit.

I originally thought the same thing. Why would you play anything less than 3 units? But after further review, if you want to fade all the other contestants you just play the minimum, (30), all for one unit. Try to lose less than them?

I’ve seen some hockey contests here where nearly everyone finished in the red.

I guess you just have weighted plays. I’m such a single unit kind of guy it’ll be an adjustment for me but one I’m looking forward in trying.

Very different strategy.

This is almost a carbon copy of the one they're running in the SBR forum. 5 unit max instead of 3. 26 signed up so far. No complaints that I can see.

 

[JOH]

$100 in the pot so far... that's worth a GO I'd say.
