They use to have a pic 7 NBA contest, I use to play the 4 early games and see if I was winnig, To make a long story short AI won $7777 from Rio/Shy. Tried to throw a party, but just had to take the money, loyal ever since.
I won a while back. You do need to call them for the freeplay. You won't have any trouble, takes about a day or two, depending who is in. Hmm, they did stop inviting me to the freerolls for some reason.
