    Say you dont feel like picking a MLB game, Can you wait till all MLB games are off the board and pick say 3 NBA and 1 NHL? I just feel like Spring Traning is a shit show and Nba and Nhl offer a better chance at winning.

    If you are required to make a MLB pick and all games are off the board, will you not be able to submit the daily 4 selections?

    Hey JRich,

    In short the answer is yes.  If all the MLB games are off the board and there are still other games available for that day in other sports than you can use those as your other selections.  However,
    there is one late MLB spring training game tonight which may work against you (San Fran vs. Oakland).  Hope that helps and let us know how it goes.

    I know how that happened. They didn't post the NCAAB games right away. I remember this morning they weren't there. This is why they were able to take 2 games from one sport before any time expiring.

    Not sure how some of the top place leaders were able to post two MLB play?  There is no NCAA tonight and for me I pick a MLB & NBA & NHL and was able to pick another pick.  So I pick one of the NCAA for Wednesday.

    Earlier in the day yesterday the NCAAB lines were not available so contestants were able to make a second picks in other leagues. Once the lines showed up for NCAAB there were 4 distinct leagues to choose and a selection had to be made in each.

    Towards the end of the day when all games have started for a league and it is no longer available for picking you can make additional selections in other leagues to make up your 4.

    And this has always been a particular quirk to this particular contest.  I like it.  Also, it's a free contest....take it or leave it.  Best bang for your buck right here.

    Hey Guys.. New to the Ultimate race but not new to betting. Everyone that complains about the rules on a free contest should be blocked from future contests. Being new I am able to figure out all the rules and quirks using some logic but I cannot figure out ties. I thought that ties was just like a lost because it keeps you from getting to your goal and you cannot replace the pick. That's why all the hockey O/U were 5 cents in the ones that were at 5 1/2 on all the books. Because it's the same number. But the there's a hockey O/U for tomorrow that's at 5 1/2 on 1 of our betting selections. So there had to be a difference on a tie and a lost. Can someone please explain the difference between a tie and a lost. Thank you

    The goal is to get to 200 wins first....therefore a tie in this situation would equate to a loss b/c you did not win.  I picked one O/U on a hockey game that was a straight 5 and I'm not making that mistake again unless I have no other options available when making my picks.
