500 pts entry. One prize only. For real? Too cheap to award the top 3 I see. Pass.

[A Quant]

Yep Mike, gone forever looks like. Went from something respectable and legitimate to these fuk’in bread crumbs they throw out here now.

And since there’s no SBR Store ever coming back either, they’ve obviously figured out how to slowly drain point balances with these cheesy contests that require no real handicapping skills, just a lucky guess on the tie breaker.

Shell of what it once was and a very empty one at that. But hey that’s progress.

Andy winner takes all is just brutal. I guarantee you’ll have 400 entries. Any chance you can reconsider? Even 300 - 150 - 50. Or at least allow up to 3 entries. My god man.

Here’s a similar contest, real fuk’in complicated though. 500 pts. Your name goes in a hat. AI draws one out. If it’s you, boom you win.

[Headsterx]

LOL why even bother?

You can transfer your points to me then. 🤣

[Headsterx]

Thanks for contest! But where’s the Celebration Bowl!?

Hey at least SBR is trying to curb betpoint inflation!

[ARCHIVADO98]

If someone wants to stake me, please borrow me 2000 betpoints. I'll go PRO real quick, pay the buy in, win the contest and never pay you back.It's a WIN-WIN!
