betmonkey · Aug 16, 2010

$200 entry fee a little steep but nice payots...

Payouts - The 2010 CARIB CLASSIC Place Prize
1st $65,000
2nd $25,000
3rd $15,000
4th $7,500
5th $5,000
6th thru 10th $2,000
11th thru 20th $1,500
*Last place (Biggest Loser) $7,500

I would love to know that number of people that go for "last place" instead of trying to win first??

The Pick 10 weekly contest that goes along with it for $250 total entry seems real cool too.Thanks for posting.

I'm not sure if they want it advertised here or not so I'll just suggest you google it and you will find the website for the details.

I started playing it last year. It is 200 which includes both end of year and weekly prizes. They cut down the amount of prize money ,but Carib still throws a lot in the pot. If I remember correctly there was a total of over 350,000 paid out and a little over 600 players. There was some early discounts when you got in . I figure they probably only collected about 125,000 from entries, so Carib actually contributed the rest. Little wonder the prize fund is less this year, but it is still a good deal.

Tough Contest. Have to make 10 picks/week from NFL sides and totals.

Its a fun ccontest, well organized.

The thing is I got put on strange limits at CARIB after I beat them for a ton, they wont let me bet more or less then $500 per game. Ive seen books with maximums, but this is the first book ive seen with minimums.

trytrytry · Aug 17, 2010

SS that is strange..have you asked recently about that?/

I have one book that does not let me wager less than $20 for some reason and a max of $200...but I cant make a $10 6 team parlay parlay for example..$500 minimum is amazing.????

Ive found crib nearly impossible to beat they don't have reduced juice and do not have any weak slow to move numbers--how did you beat them??? Am I missing something....I beat them once by winning a huge carryover p[ick 15 parlay type card I was the only winner and won 25k..but other than that I have done nothing at that book over the 12 years Ive been there...

I think 4 years I played that contest..man that was one hard to win contest..I dont think I ever cracked the top 20 season rankings and even weekly did next to nothing...so I have not played recently..one year I was in contention and forgot somehow to put in picks one week......phuck...

SportSavant · Aug 17, 2010

wow really?

when things were going well CARIB was the easiest book for me to beat, I was like a kid in a candy store. now if I make a bet there the line AUTOMATICALLY moves.... their software has it set so any bet I make moves the line.

like an 80% winner type thing?

BCEAGLE1996 · Aug 17, 2010

I came in 6th last year but was sick to my stomach. Had a 4 1/2game less with 4 weeks to go and had my worst week on the next to last week.

well no,

but they had odds that were so far off everyone else, it didnt take rocket science to beat them, they were one of my fav outs until they fucked with me.

Vancouverfan · Aug 17, 2010

I got 6th place 2 years ago and won $5,000 when the payouts were a little more. Its a fun contest, but like BC Eagle mentioned boy its get stressful near the end. I was in 2nd place with 2 weeks to go and then pulled out a 1-9 week, recovered a bit in the final week to get back to 6th but makes you wonder what could of been if I hadn't shit the bed week 16

wow they for sure deal dual lines then cause Ive almost never seen anything slow to mover there or off in over a decade..i dont even look anymore other than some props here and there!

weird because the lines I was seeing were on SportsOptions, and when I logged in they were as OFF as they were displayed on SportsOptions, leading me to beleive they were not dealing dual lines.

can u find a soft line at carib and post it or PM me next time you see something..Id like to look into this a bit...do these tend to be hoops games totals by chance or a bunch of things? what time period did you beat them 2010, 2009, 2008?

Santo · Aug 18, 2010

I had a similar experience to Savant with regards to soft lines. I suspect it may be time-zone related, I don't know if SS worked the night shift or something but in my case I was mainly beating them to early-day moves when I was in the UK, so overnight / v. early morning US time.
