There is no in between either...its all or nothing, some posters love contests and will play in just about everyone (free or post-up may be the only dividing factor) and then we have the other side , many veteran posters NEVER join a contest:icon_conf

I look at the "worth" or expected value of the contest. The current HW one takes no time and is worth several hundred $. The Skybook ones I once figured at being worth $5-10 for a brief post, and so on. If it's free or has an overlay it's usually worth the time to enter. I haven't seen many here not worth entering !

I agree with Doug. I do stay away from daily contest as I can't post everyday but weekly ones are perfect. I think many of the Heavy hitters and pro/semipro bettors think it is a waste of time or beneath them. For me personally I draw the line at fantasy leagues.

I don't play in them all but do enjoy the ones I enter. I was bummed finishing 7th in the last man standing baseball contest but the 2 contestants left certainly earned the right to fight it out.

I like the contests where your sponsors chip in so I'll probably pass on the pick four Football this year, I'd rather not embarrass myself again anyway.

I very, very rarely play contests because I have a habit of forgetting about them over time & "defaulting".

I did it so many times, I just quit bothering.

Find a good book to match our post up and I'll play. Heck J-Man there are a ton of College and Pro football contests out there.

Just don't ask BOS

that has happened to me many times,

I made the second round of the King of the Hill contest & then got Dq'd because I forgot to post enough plays throughout the month:icon_conf

Im trying to have better disicpline though, there is money to be made, as I was lucky enough to find out in the WWTS contest....

When the funds are yours to play with, like the WWTS contest, essentially a free entry, seems silly not to play.

Too playerslonly69ish! Listening to a Grown man crying over a pager and whining about grading ruined it for me.
