new idea

not complaining or anything, but i was just proposing an idea of a maximum of 5 days you can put picks in on this contest instead of everyday...kind of mixes it up and allows more people to pick and choose the card they wanna play...also allows people that may not be able to get to a computer over the weekend or something to play...just throwing out ideas thats all...

I will say, I like the idea of being able to make my picks further in advance, in case I cannot be at the computer for some reason. ||an_clap.gif' border=0> This weekend was definitely a challenge for me personally. But then I'm sure some will say that is part of the challenge itself, the race if you will.

yeah, I agree with something like that...kind of leans toward what I mentioned a few days ago in another topic, that the picks should be available earlier anyways, cause the time stamp can determine a tie breaker, but the picks aren't available to me until 1:01AM in my time zone, which is worse than someone on the west coast who gets to pick at 9:01PM. but yeah, keep throwing ideas out cause the folks at Wagerline are all ears and really do listen and are looking for suggestions for possible races in the future.||an_cheers.gif' border=0>

another idea...to make things interesting, and what I think will make tie-breaking WAY EASIER, is give 2 points for a correct pick, and -1 for a loss...but you can pick ONE game a night to "put up" a bonus point - i.e. pick a game of your 4, only if you want, and "wager" a bonus point on it, get it right, get 3 points for it, wrong, -2 points. winner is first person with 200 (or X amount) of points.

This is just a hell of alot of fun and I hope it's renewed when we get our first winner. Kudos to Wagerline.||thumbs_up.gif' border=0>

How about the people who complain or have ideas on how it should be ran host their own race contest and charge for it....im sure u wont get any complaints.

aclim, I like your idea.

Only thing wrong with picking for 4-5 days ahead is the possibility of player injuries or other such glitches. A team could be on a 6 game run and then lose the next 4 or 5 and there we are with our picks locked in... At least we'd have a shot at it if we had SOMETHING in. I sure don't like the idea of subtracting for losses. I'm forever going backwards! I think if they choose a different tie-breaker than the time stamp it would be a little less hectic. If you pick right after midnight, by noon the next day the odds could be differnt and you may have picked a different team, and certain teams are added that weren't there it 12:01 AM. (At least that has happened in the Regular Wagerline league contests and the other "More contests" which include the 2nd half Basketball and others. Sports Challenge had a 20 question game which was supposed to move here (or to an affiliate) where the questions were about more than winners and handicapping and covered only a 3 or 4 day weekend over several sports. NOT COMPLAINING, I really like this game but I think the premise could be tweaked a bit. (Less prize money, pay a little to a professional contest promoter to write the rules...)||an_light.gif' border=0>
