Its Official, 'BetMonkey' is the Rx Bash S1000.00 WINNER!

[Journeyman]

Congrats to BetMonkey

and to everyone who participated in the highly competetive battle...both Vini and Monkey selected Colorado as their final play (emailed to The General)

Gameface led for awhile, Vini, Drunk and finally Betmonkey who led briefly slipped back and then finally secured the title!

Great job by all

No RL's are allowed. Betmonkey is the winner.

damn....a roller coaster ride right now....

I'll check back in the AM to see if I won or not...lol

Thanks again

 

[Journeyman]

Monkey is the winner per the ALT RL rule....General did indeed post the right play as VVV's next selection was Colorado...

Journeyman

What on earth are you referring to as "the ALT RL rule?"

The run lines have been posted as available from the beginning of this contest. Any lines not available have been consistently omitted from the available selections. For example, Chicago Cubs @ home more often than not had no total listed.


How can it be that a play that is clearly listed is unavailable, after the fact?

I am confident that further review will get this right, which is all anyone could hope for.

VVV,

Here it is stated ML's & Totals only.

I am sorry, but the contest ended on 8/11. Betmonkey has the most money won.

Best of luck

 

[SportSavant]

hopefully there has not been any other RL's that have been accepted throughout the contest from other posters....

was this the first time you played a Run Line, V?

Journey obviously made a mistake when he was refferring to "alt RUN lines"

 

[vinividivinci]

Actually, yes this was the first time I made this selection. It was from strictly a strategy situation, however. I had to have 1.24 units or better to advance ahead of Betmonkey.

Can someone please explain why these plays are offered as options but somehow are not really available?

I have looked at the run lines every day but only found a play worth chancing today. I needed to improve my position by .24 or better, thus the attractiveness of +130.

SAVANT NO RUNLINE PLAYS HAVE BEEN USED PERIOD...I ASSUMED EVERYONE KNEW THIS, I AM SORRY VINI MISSED THE RULE....

 

[SportSavant]

vv, I am only guessing here but I imagine the reason they were there is that it was simply easy for General to cut & paste this way...

I feel really bad for you, however, IMO, if no one at any time in any thread ever bet a RUN LINE (as stated in the rules) & were never given credit for a RUN LINE bet (wether they won or not). Then the rules have been followed here & as much as it sucks, unfortunately you lost...

It is unfortunate as perhaps had you remembered you woudnt have taken Colorado as second choice? I dont know... Or would you have taken them anyway if knowing run lines were ineligible...

I looked throgh about 5 or so of the contest threads before getting too lazy, but I never saw anyone select a run line...

sorry pal...
