NBA 'Monopoly money/paper trade Challenge' Roster and rules,starts Tuesday

[RxScorekeeper]

****PLEASE NOT THIS IS A FREE CHALLENGE FOR FUN AND ENJOYMENT ONLY***

A few rules this challenge is for the fun of it, but I hope everyone treats their 5000 Acct as if its real....This way we can see just how each individual handles his money....

Max Wager 550/500
Min Wager 55/50

All sides totals for entire games accepted, no halftime plays (sorry it gets too complicated knowing just when the game goes off) Parlays are allowed, I just ask that you MUST LIST PAYOUT ON PARLAYS

This will start Tuesday Night right after the break...I will post a thread each day, I will grade all wagers in that thread only....Its just as if you played at my sportsbook, if you decide not to play that day and don't post in the challenge then no other wagers will count towards or against your balance...

After the first week or so, and I see who is not participating I will remove them and accept a few others who showed an interest...I am sure a few will end up not playing....

ALSO, PLEASE USE THE RX LIVE LINES SERVICE, YOU CAN USE ANY LINE FROM ANY BOOK ON THE LIVE LINES, IT MUST BE THE CURRENT LINE HOWEVER!

Max. wager for the day on one team is?
For example can one bet a team 3 ways; ie ML, parlay and ATS straight at 550 each bet or 550 total per team?
Also say you have a 7pm & 10pm game can you straight bet the 1st and if it's obviously going to win; parlay the entire amt.(1050) onto the 2nd game to get better odds than the book's 13/5?
Teasers acct. or not; long as we post payouts?
Sure a few more pain the ass questions will come up; (esp. for just a fun contest) but it outta be good for the forum. Would love to see it in college ball; but that's a lot of extra work.
Hope you make some dough off of the good players!!!

Sam- You have to realize grading 21 players is hard enough, please make all wagers legible and easy to understand...I`m not going to scan through a paragraph of "if this happens I want this" Come on now, its not like were talking on the phone and your placing your bets....I am not going to grade "if bets" I would like everyone to be specific , this will be time consuming enough, so it needs to be as easy to understand as can be, I need cooperation from each player...

 

[Journeyman]

No reason why you can`t play 500 on a team in different bets...it just has to be easy for me to understand what is meant....I can t spend the next day grading and asking "hey what did you mean by that" etc...I guess we will play it by ear, and hopefully it won t get too crazy...I want to be able to grade the entire board in an hour...the thing that gets lost sometimes is how much time it takes to grade these contests, some players don`t post lines , some will say I want Minnesota, and I will be like "who, which Minnesota"? The players must cooperate...State clearly what they want, and what line they have etc..

 

[sammythesage]

gotcha; will make it easy,easy.
