Re: EOG & DOC SPORTS PRESENT THE BIGGEST ONLINE FOOTBALL HANDICAPPING CONTESTS OF THE YEAR!
The problem is that I wanted to start with Oregon State and the line in the contest is 3 1/2. I can now lay 1 1/2 in real life and this makes it impossible to play your best bets in the contest.
I understand that grading and keeping track of the line movement would be an all day job, but for this being a contest for a tout service you will not get the handicappers best bets. In fact you won't get our best bets because the way this is set up we can't give our best bets and the winner of the contest is more of a lottery.
Just a suggestion. Next year in the post for the plays make a line and then update it every hour or even half day. That way any post made after the updates would have to use the updated lines. This would not have been a problem if you guys would have thought this out. Every player would have to post their plays with the latest updated lines.
Great contest, but you will not get the best handicapper under these rules. And of course we know exactly who will wait till saturday morning even if they have a thursday night best bet because they can only follow the line movers bets.
If the line movers plays are winning this "group" of players will lead the contest and again you will not get the best handicapper winning. You will get a follower and is that what Doc's sports really wants?
