CTG member JoJo has offered another prize to those who are still left in the contest. First person to win 8 games IN A ROW (w/out losing) in the 2nd round will win a $200 prize from JoJo. That isn't 8 units in a row, but 8 games for the dense. At this point the prize won't carry over to the conf. finals. So if you win 7 games in a row and you're at your max plays of 16 for the 2nd round you are SOL.


:cheers: JoJo and GL to the rest of you.

[BetCrimes1984]

just one question regarding the 8 in a row - what happens in one splits on the same game; which bet is considered the last bet?

ie, someone splits on a game (1-1), then wins 7 in a row - if the winning bet from the 1-1 split in considered the last bet of the 2, that would mean 8 in a row.

(edit) or someone could split a game (1-1), win 6 straight, then split another game (1-1). If the last pick of the 1st split is designated a winner, and the 1st pick of the last split is designated a winner, that'll be 8 straight.

I might suggest that totals be considered the last bet. But either ATS or totals need to be designated the last bet within a game before this gets into full swing.
