HAHA, nice try MrCleo! The only real place that we can verify you CONVENIENTLY didnt gamble this last week!
Doberman, not sure why I put you on the list above. I know that you gamble, I only put you there because I felt that you had the money to play. But I was trying to actually pick out guys who actually place some bets

CLEO,
the $300 pick 4 contest is a contest where for each entry of $300, $360 goes into the prize pool.
So if we have say 10 people who pay $300 each, the total prize pool is $3600.
After we know the number of entries, and the total amount of cash, we then determine the payouts.
The important part to note is that 120% of what is taken in is given back to the players, thats right, not 100% but an extra 20% making it an amazing contest.
______________________________
The NCAAF pick 6 is the same concept however it is only $100
____________________________________
The Pick 4 $1000 side contest is for the big boys, there is no added 20% but 100% of all that is taken in will be given back out.
**** For all contests funds are held at Betjamaica ***
hno:I have been doing the wrong thing for 35 years now.
Funny, I was so caught up reading that post and you "Newlywedding it", that's a new posting term:
Newlywedding it
to Newlywed --- excessively using capital letters, exclamation points of other punctucuation, or bold or big font to emphasize your point. Can also include repetition of key phrases. Not to be confused with "Hollywooding it"
ex. After the touchdown catch, T.O. was hollywooding it in the end zone.
PO69 called out other posters, but we couldn't take his post seriously because he was newlywedding it.
Anyway, I missed the "any random Indian guy" comment. Nice. Stay classy, Ron Burgundy.

What you're saying makes some sense, but in other ways is completely ridiculous. I'm guessing most, including myself, don't have and don't plan on getting an account at betjam. That eliminates you from the contest right there, doesn't it? Most others don't see it as a smart investment either. Why go through an entire contest against, I'm just guessing a number here, 50-100 different people where your chances of profiting are very slim, even if you hit at a 60% clip, when you can just bet the games yourself and make good money.
The contests IMO are more for people that care about having bragging rights over other posters.

I already addressed that in my reply, but let me add further analysis here.
In a pick 4 type contest, it is such a small amount of plays that it is really a crapshoot.... you could have a monkey pick your plays, or throw darts, and it would still be an overall +EV due to the added 20%. This argument may hold water if the contest was thousands of plays over say a baseball season, but not when only 60 games or so are being picked.
Your +EV may go down a little, agreed, but not enough to reduce the +EV.
