Histon +½  @ +120

  Histon gives up 2 goals in the last 5 mins to lose 4-3!! 

ajpoker, the format of the thread gets all jacked up when people attempt to cut and paste from their sportsbooks

chelseafan, I need you to resubmit the pick you made as it was not readable (and dont tell me you had Inter/Bayern correct score 3-2 inter +6575!)

hooligan13, welcome to the Contest and good luck.

Remember, you can shop around for the best price you can get up until about 10 mins before game time.

Currently, 5dimes has Benfice ML at +173.   If you decide to change your price, lemme know

3/16/11

AFC: Asian Champions League

Al-Wehda/Piroozi Perspolis over 2.5

@ +101

Champions League  3/16

Real/Lyon under3 -128

aj, sure it was perfect.  As long as I can read it (or as long as the forum can read it) its all good.

I dont doublecheck every price because I know the general cost of many of these wagers already.  But if something seems a little too good to be true, or if someone if short changing themselves because they read it incorrectly, then I will check my book to see what the price may be.

nice hit.

hooligan, sounds like you have some pretty good picks coming up

You should make a thread so people can go into your thread and give you feedback and wish you luck!

3/16

Champs League

Draw HT/Real Madrid FT +334

Chelsea, the Board Of Directors are discussing the issue.

We are still in our 1st quarter of the contest.  I will let this sit for 24 hours.  If anyone is opposed to your pick standing, they will have 24 hours to either speak their peace in this thread, or to PM me if they would like to remain anonymous.

If even one person PM's me, it is the right thing to do to ask you to pick again.

The reason I am making this decision is because you have been a consistent contributor to this Forum and this type of bet IS NOT inconsistent with the types of bets you normally post.

So tomorrow at 5pm I will let you know.  In the meantime, if you would see a bet you would like to post as a potential pick, you can post it as a back up.

 Sorry Vicky, cant do that for ya.....you gotta pick your contest picks on your own.

As for any possible "real money bets", you should go into P's thread and ask people what they like the most....im not playing totals today

estudiantes guarani over 3 +115

Mik, this was my thought as well.  And like you said, this Contest is for pride, and being so early in the game still, there is really no advantage to cheating.

I recognize his betting style and have seen some of his EPL bets similar to these.

I have not gotten any PM's from anyone stating they want the pick disallowed, so chelseafan1's pick will stand.

lajohn, as far as your wager goes, its was a loser whether it was an NTL or a ML bet, and the only different would be about 50 cents in juice. 

Im going to count it as a loss and -100 units this time, but in the future (and for the Forum to take note), when I see an "NTL" or "pickem" posted, but it has the moneyline price, if I dont get clarification before the match begins it will be submitted as the NTL (+.5) or pickem (+0) Asian Handicap, and I will give it the corresponding 5dimes NTL or pickem price.

Its not fair to the rest of the Forum who submit accurate picks.
