If I won this contest with a great record it would only piss me off by not playing the real thing.

It would be like winning a 10 team parlay and only betting $5
Your more mad about only risking $5 then you are happy winning the parlay.

It would just piss me.

Yeah, will work it out. But no sponsors at all. Same way we did the poker tournament.
Don't want to use the "p" word, matter of fact going to ban the word. Don't want to lose that option for the future .

need some advice here...this may sound like a stupid question but since I am new to the Hilton format I will ask anways....

I am in the actual hilton this year...so this would be my 2nd entry. How do you guys with multiple entries play it out? Do you use 2 different sets of 5 games? Do you use your top 2 games across both entries??

In the past I have been in multiple entries, Groups and Solo.

You can use all 5 on both, 5 on one, 4 on another, adding a 6th game, etc.
In the groups, I use my Top pick from my 5. If that game is being used by someone else, i go to my 2nd best, and so on.

You will see a lot of groups where they have, Entry #1, Entry # 2, Entry #3, Entry #4
and they will use in All 4, Four of the same games, then different games to finish off 5 for the Entry.
Sometimes 3 of the same... also have seen all 4 entries with the same picks

Whats the benefit of having 4 entries with the same picks?
That would be like buying 4 powerball tickets with the same numbers

I don't do it, but My guess is that if you feel that strong on your Pick... You Might get 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Place ... Meaning a Tie, picking up the combo of those prizes.
They take those prizes and combine and split then equal.

Last year I finished Tied for 6th place ( or they have it down as Tied for 8th ) with 2 other guys. We each got $27,142
If there was No Tie, one of us could have walked away with $81,426

Is the extra $1500x3 worth that minor benefit?

Let's say you buy 2 powerball tickets with the same numbers. You and one other person win. You get 2/3 and they get the other third. Since you are only investing a dollar or two, it is worth the extra expense to get 2/3 instead of half. 3x$1500?? Not so wise.
