    Damn the leaders will just pick NHL games -135/-150 all day and win this Contest. The real and harder Contest would be lines -130 or less. Just my opinion. Thanks Jason

    The point is Jason wants a handicapping contest not some guys waking up as early as they can to see if they can get gifts on the highest favorites in hockey when you know they wouldn't be betting them. I guess guys who don't let money control every moment of their lives just want a challenge and the guys who would steal money out of their moms purse, will do anything to get that next dollar. Yeah i know its the rules. Save it. Yeah i know how much you paying for the contest? Save it. this is not a knock on wagerline at all. they can't control what some will do. Jason just wait till these guys at the top will be forced to cap. The nba is coming up along with CBB so they won't get these gift wins.

    I agree wholeheartedly with Jason and Thor. I greatly appreciate Wagerline for giving us this opportunity to win free prizes, but this contest would be MUCH better if there were no high % wins on paper with hockey. I would cap the hockey favorites at $1.25, and would have no problem with people playing those small favorites all day. I'm a weasel when it comes to trying to get something for nothing, but it will be harder to catch up to the leaders with most taking the medium favorite. This contest is still a fun challenge; I just wish it was a little fairer for all. ||Peace_5.gif' border=0>

    lol you people are all crazy. If you cap the hockey games at -125 that would leave at most 2 in one day. As i have said before, -150 is NOT considered a heavy favorite at all. Look at some of the lines this year -220, -200, -210. Now that is a heavy favorite.

    making $1.25 the max favorite you can play in nhl would be stupid. the survivor contest lets you play $1.30 favorites. the 1st ultimate race let you play favorites as large as $1.80 and no one ran off with the race. it came down to the final day. just wait all the leaders will come back!

    Okay. $1.30 favs just like Survivor. And if that limits your NHL options, so be it.
