Original post should be edited following "How It Works", to include mention of "Totals" plays
======

How it Works:

• Make a minimum of 220 Money Line (ML) or Totals (max 4 plays per day) throughout the NHL regular season.

 

[barman]

And I offer friendly suggestion that the contest be conducted within a CONTEST forum thread, rather than within the NHL forum. Helps to assure non-contestants don't poke in with distracting comments.

How much does this cost? What are the benifits and what are the prizes?

 

[SportSavant]

How much does this cost? What are the benifits and what are the prizes?

1) the price is $300

2) the benefits are too many to name, but one of the main ones is that Betjamaica is adding 20% to the prize pool, making this contest an overlay. Another benefit is that the contest is alot of fun. Another benefit is that by joining, you are supporting the RX and their sponsors.

3) The prizes are dependent on the number of entries, for example lets say we get 20 people.

20 people X $360 = $7200.

So if we have 20 people, they will be playing for $7200 in prizes, probably divided amont the top 3 posters.

By far the biggest benefit of participating in an Rx/Betjam season long contest is that it provides stronger motivation to more thoroughly learn the particular sport and how to wager it for profit.

I have always had a fair eye for NHL, but consider last season's contest experience the most enlightening five months in my my almost ten years of sports handicapping education.

 

[Puckhandler]

Just a suggestion.
Any chance we can move the start date up 2 weeks to November 4. Teams will have played 18 games already by the contest start date which is 20% of the regular season.
This still gives everyone exactly one month to deposit.

 

[barman]

Followup on Puckhandler's suggestion...

Let's set it at Nov 7 (which is 14 days prior); but if we don't have an agreeable number or contestants we allow for one or two bumps on Nov 14, 21 until we reach the agreeable number.

(not sure what that number is.....20?.....We have 14 in the Fantasy league alone, plus a few others, eh?)

Plus I'm going to be doing some promotional work by hitting up all the NHL-fan forums I can hit within the next 30 days. Will create a thread to that regard shortly wherein we can each post venues where we've Posted news of the contest and how to get to the Rx and Betjam.

Would really be cool if we could get 25 and pay out five or six winners.

For those wondering about potential integrity issues with Contestants using "current Betjam lines" when posting their contest selections, I can state with confidence that on only a couple of occasions during the entire five months of MLB contest did anyone express a specific complaint and in both cases it was handled professionally and the contestants involved did not to anyone's knowledge repeat their single erroneous pricing.

Thanks to the RxLiveLines service, it's fairly easy for contest moderators to verify prices if anyone throws the Red Challenge Flag onto the contest thread.
