MLB Contest winner update

MLB Contest Update

EOG poster Big Daddy was our first baseball contest winner, and proved to be knowledgeable about the consumer end of the offshore world.

The contest simply required the player to hit 61% of a hundred baseball bets, and the menu included runlines. “You were giving money away,” Big Daddy rightly told me. Every day included several plays at minus 200 or better, so it wasn’t much of a trick to pick these and have a mathematical chance of hitting just under 66%. Which is exactly what Big Daddy did—as he told me, “I spent about two minutes on it every day.”

Big Daddy’s critique of ParlayMakers as a  new entry in the sportsbook market place was succinct and pointed. “Right now I’m just a contest player. If your site is around in a year or two I would consider it for the reduced juice and huge menu, but I’ve got three books that give me reduced juice and have been around for a long time.” He also offered this, though, “I might take a chance if there were contests that offered the player value where you had to have an active account to play—but it would have to be a damn good contest. “ We are thinking along the lines Big Daddy suggests as our developers are currently at work on some contest software that will offer a zero-take contest for funded accounts.
