Someone posing a set of lines somewhere on Thursday morning and having up until Saturday morning to play the stale college and Sunday morning to play the stale Pro lines with 5 picks a week limit OR pick one book, probably pinny since most at the forum use them, and allow any football related play anytime up to a set amount of units? The line has to be available when the post is made.

Which of these formats would better identify the best real word handicapper? I realize why the large contests need to do it that way for grading purposes. But if two guys are doing a high stakes contest which would sort out the better handicapper in your opinion in a heads up contest. Thanks for the input.

The second one, but you'd need a line service to confirm if it's W/A.

Obviously the second one. But you would need a line service to verify.

So, what Santo said.

Just scanned your past posts to see what it's about. I'd suggest you go with this option:

Well if just pinnacle was used, I think the contest would draw a lot of attention and plenty of folks would be there to call you out on a non available line. One simple way to do it would be to give a mutually agreed on judge access to our pinnacle accounts. You can put in a dinky wager for each wager you are making for the contest in your account, and if it is questioned the judge would quickly verify the line was indeed available. Plenty of ways to do this that would work and truly identify who the better capper is.

Do you mind letting the flaming go for a bit, so we can get some educated opinions on what the right way to do this contest is?

Wrong again. I am trying to set up the ultimate heads up challenge for 10000 dollars. My pinnacle method works perfectly. Whale wants to just follow line moves to determine his picks, which is a copout and not handicapping. I cannot say I blame him for not wanting to accept as he would get killed, but do not say I am trying to squirm out of anything. It is just further proving you don't know a hell of a lot when it comes to my business. Can you explain to me why you think the other method determines the better handicapper?

Looks to me like Royalfan is being very civil. WW is doing all the flaming.
