Rio contest question ?

Doug · Oct 11, 2004

For option #1 10k prize

props 3 +4 state Green bay half a point. It doesn't say plus or minus. Which is it ? I'd think minus. Some people use shorthand of .5, and it means plus, unless a - is placed before it.

Please clarify.

Thanks,

Doug

yes Doug, it is -.5 for each quarter......

Int he second part of the contest, it is correctly listed as minus .5 for the 4th puarter, i just think he forgot to put the minus.....but it was still listed as GB, so that is who is favored.....i corrected it, and that is the way it will be graded..

Thanks Bucs: It was what I thought, I just wanted to be certain. At first I thought +.5, until reading part two. But the props are somewhat different. I'm surprised it wasn't brought up earlier.

NO PROBLEM SIR....

i think most people probably just assumed, since GB is a 3 pt favorite....in a game like that they are gonna be a 1/2 pt favorite in each quarter almost every time......

gl tonight...

Bucs: That's true, but contests sometimes give easier props. It's beneficial to have it stated in absolute terms. No disputes later.
