Season long MLB contest, similar format as the NFL Pick 4, who is in?

Journeyman · Feb 8, 2006

With MLB right around the corner , we're looking to get a good season long MLB contest similar to the NFL Pick 4 contest, no gimmicks, props, team of the week etc...just capping the games...

Choptalk and myself are in, anyone seriously interested sign in, and also let me know what would be a good post up for this contest...another issue, since baseball is everyday, is the amount of selections and lines we will use.

CHOPTALK · Feb 8, 2006

Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!!!!!!!

The sportsbook that we use would be important. 10c lines a must. $250 to $500 would be a good entry fee. Dont want to be forced to post plays every single day. Something like 25 to 30 plays a month would be ok as long as you dont have to post picks daily.

I am in

WorldNumberOne · Feb 8, 2006

i would consider it .

i would say everybody has to pick 30 games a month . no more , no less.

dont have to pick everyday . just 30 in the month.

i think if you lower the entry fee to $ 150 , you might get more players.

at $ 300 , i doubt you will get even 10 .

90-10 that I would participate.

bucsfan67 · Feb 8, 2006

would very likely be in...

WorldNumberOne · Feb 8, 2006

another way is like one i was in a few years back .

everybody started with a 5 grand bankroll .

you had to play atleast 100 plays during the conetst. you could play as many as 3 plays on any given day .

you could also play them as 1 ,2 or 3 units .

this contest didnt run the entire season . it ran for about 4 months .

the person who made the most money won . ( or lost the least money )

it was the most realistic contest i have ever been in.

pretty sure wannabewhale would be in, if he see's it.

Waz · Feb 8, 2006

You can count me in. My suggestion is that we are allowed a range of picks per month (ie. 30-50), and every game is exactly 1 unit. The person who finishes ahead by the most units wins. Not sure about a post up amount......maybe $200 is the right balance.

not a bad idea, but why do we need an imaginary BR, I'm trying to follow what the reason behind starting at $0 or 5K would matter?

Journeyman · Feb 8, 2006

I would like to see atleast a $300 postup maybe $500?

just how he did it .

i would guess he wanted it to seem like you were actually making the plays with your money .

you dont start at 0 with a sportsbook and start betting.

it wouldnt matter .

you would get less than 6 players at a $ 500 entry .

Sounds like a good idea. I don't know if many would put up $300 though.

8 to 10 people $500

11-20 people $300

21-30 people $250

31+ $200

Journeyman · Feb 8, 2006

300 is probably the best figure to attract 10-15 players...it is a long season we have to make it worth it.

steeser · Feb 8, 2006

I'd be in if it's a $300 postup and above.

It would be very nice to find a book to sponsor it and to match some money to the prize pool.

theticket_22 · Feb 8, 2006

i'll play.

CHOPTALK · Feb 8, 2006

I have a friend or 2 that might be interested in joining this contest. They are not members of this site. They have 0 post. Is there a post minimum?
