Contest Rules

Requirements: One-time $50 balance
To be eligible for prize money each contestant MUST have had a balance of $50 in the Diamond Sportsbook account PRIOR to that week's games and after joining this contest. The $50 is only required to be present in the Diamond Sportsbook account once and is NOT required to be present each week following the initial entry. Non-depositors will receive SBRpoints instead of cash in their Diamond Sportsbook account. New Diamond Sportsbook account holders must register through the BTP Sponsor Link.

$10,000 Weekly Prize!
$10,000 is up for grabs each of the 15 weeks. The prize money will be divided among all entrants that outscore 'The Prick' that week. The prize amount is weighted based on your score against others who beat The Prick.

Increased Weekly Prizes! Each time the amount of weekly participants increases above 500 by 100 players, $2,000 will be added to the prize pool! Examples: 599 participants means no changes to prize pool. The 600th participant triggers another $2,000 for $12,000 total prize pool. If 800 to 899 people compete in a week, that week BTP prize pool is $16,000. A participant is defined by a contestant who makes the required minimum amount of picks and avoids disqualification.

$10,000 Season-ending Prize!
1st place $5,000
2nd place $2,500
3rd place $1,000
4th place $750
5th place $400
6th place $200
7th place $150
*Cash prizes carry a five time rollover (play-through of prize winning).

How to Enter:
Step 1: Become a member of SBR. If you aren't registered open a free account here.
Step 2: Join The Beat The Prick contest & enter your Diamond Sportsbook user ID
Step 3: Make your 4 weekly picks after 'The Prick' makes his selections. The contest starts Tuesday September 7th.
* Make sure there is $50 in your account between the time you join and the day first games begin!

How to play Beat The Prick
  • You will make 4 plays each week. Making less than 4 plays disqualifies you for that weekly prize but those plays will count toward your season-ending score.
  • By midnight Tuesday of each week, 'The Prick' will make 4 picks on NFL or NCAAF sides or totals. Contestant picks cannot be entered until 'The Prick' has made his picks. The games which he selects will be taken off the board and are not available to contestants.
  • Everyone including The Prick will choose a 2-unit (double value) best bet each week.
  • You must Beat The Prick to win. If The Prick scores +3.00 and you score +3.10 you will have beaten The Prick. However, if The Prick goes 4-0 with his football plays, there are no winners.
  • Only players with a positive score can earn prizes. Placing above The Prick but with negative units for the week will not earn prizes.
  • You must have made 48 picks to be eligible for the season-ending prizes.
  • You must have made your one-time deposit before Week 10's football games begin.
Fine Print
  • You must enter your Diamond Sportsbook account ID even if you intend to only play for SBR Points. A valid account assists with SBR with contest fraud.
  • One entry per household allowed.
  • DSI accounts must be in good standing. Players subject to book's own policies and terms and conditions.

I don't think I ever got mine for week 15.
Sports Scientist (13 months ago)
Nevermind, i did. Sorry,.
Lineman (14 months ago)
Had no idea CarpeDime wasn't qualified for the money. I went for the 2500 and also I had a shot for beating prick for that week also. So I was risking 250 to win 1500 + 100(weekly) and give it a run to finish on the second place. Well done for the top finishers. Thanks to DSI and SBR.
ouman101 (14 months ago)
CarpeDime has to be kicking himself. Wonder if he didn't deposit or something?
yisman (14 months ago)
he's an SBR employee. Someone who deposits and finishes in the prize money would just get points instead, and the money amount would be listed next to their names. I hope all the prize winners deposited so they receive money instead of points.
Capybara (14 months ago)
Oh, didn't realize this was the last weekend! Well I picked the right time for a big finish, getting paid on a prick 2.90 week!
Brakon00 (14 months ago)
sent $50 for contest...won $ in 6 weeks....$14, $106, $86, $104, $64, around $170.....was worth it... cant wait for next year
konck (14 months ago)
Prick you started out like a toilet but came back was had a solid year Mery Xmas all...See ya;s in the NBA Moneyline!!!!!!!
konck (14 months ago)
32-25-3 and I finish 537 nice job all probably the best overall pct for the contest ever.
yisman (14 months ago)
WLT: 18611-18997-1081 Percent: 49.49 % Units: -2,775.04 pretty poor effort.
bretb27 (14 months ago)
lou: What happens if there's a tie in the overall leaderboard?
SBR Lou (14 months ago)
Prize amounts would be split and combined equally.
ksmort (14 months ago)
Bretb - are you going to try to make a run at me and risk dropping? Lineman - Wow. Matt Flynn got us both.
bretb27 (14 months ago)
haha hell no. I was content with 4th and even told lineman congrats on his good jets pick, I was shocked he made a play last night. I'm staying in third and I'm definitely okay with it.
whatsgood5 (14 months ago)
You do know that's a -EV decision though, right? Helluva job either way tho
whatsgood5 (14 months ago)
Wait nvm, obv the right call to go with the no-play. Had a brain fart there. Congrats all
Footballtime (14 months ago)
looks like probably atleast 500-600 a guy and may get as high as 800 a guy from what i can see real quick, Once again Nice little christmas present from the Prick that he is! Congrats FBT
whatsgood5 (14 months ago)
waaaayy off bruh, wouldda been close to that if the price had went 3-0-1, but we're looking at a little under $300 each probably.
thezbar (14 months ago)
Its the same as week 10 in many ways. Range was 280-160 for the winners.
ehp6737 (14 months ago)
Congrats FBT? Were you congratulating yourself, in the 3rd person no less? Who does that! And yes...500-600 or 800 is WAY off
BigMattM (14 months ago)
Every year he probably sings Happy Birthday to HIMSELF as well, LMAO
yisman (14 months ago)
ehp, I think he meant to say "congrats, fbt" he signs all his posts "fbt" for "footballtime" he's congratulating the winners.
Footballtime (14 months ago)
Yisman, you are correct! Alot of children here, cant even say congarts to the winners without a wise ass remark! I also was wrong about the split, guess thats why im not an accountant! Once again Congrats to the winners, FBT.............Better?
Footballtime (14 months ago)
Gonna be a nice payout for the 4-0 guys, Congrats glad someone is winning some good money, this looks huge! FBT
trytrytry (14 months ago)
why do some win more than others in this? thanks
ehp6737 (14 months ago)
lmao
yisman (14 months ago)
by trying harder
pavyracer (14 months ago)
the pot is divided based on units won. so after they determine who beat the prick and tally all units won and divide by pot. then each player's units are multiplied by the money won for 1 unit to determine payout.
kaliboyz (14 months ago)
Hello Lou, the money is not in my account yet, please help!
Iwinwithsports (14 months ago)
Same here
SBR Lou (14 months ago)
DSI confirmed most accounts were credited this morning. About 8 of you will be credited later today. SBR Points are being credited now as well. There's a 2-3 average business day time-frame from Tuesday morning.
yesnomaybe (14 months ago)
am i one of the 8? thanks
kaliboyz (14 months ago)
i'm the 7th and you're the 8th :)
Iwinwithsports (14 months ago)
Hopefully I am one of the 8, Still waiting here
sjm5122 (14 months ago)
No sign of it for me, hoping I can get it before tonight's games start
SBR Lou (14 months ago)
Yes, your accounts are on a list being processed by DSI. If the credits aren't applied tonight, they would be tomorrow.
jameellionaire (14 months ago)
Haven't received my payout either. Waiting patiently.
Brakon00 (14 months ago)

yesnomaybe (14 months ago)

triqy (14 months ago)

Brakon00 (14 months ago)
nothing here either. the winnings have always been in DSI account before 3ET on wednesday of the few weeks ive gotten $
Mthorn (14 months ago)
I just actually got mines, should go check it now. Also, what is the rollover regarding the winngings?
yisman (14 months ago)
look to your right
Iwinwithsports (14 months ago)
when does the $ come in your diamond acct? on avg???? thanks alot
yisman (14 months ago)
wednesday on average, I'd say.
yisman (14 months ago)
my post to the previous reply won't take, so here: it's been mentioned on the boards. SBR employees can participate in the contests, but they don't win prizes. That includes in this contest. In the past, when employees have finished in the money, they've been taken out when they're calculating how much each person gets.
yisman (14 months ago)
my mistake Loubert says lostache is eligible
yisman (14 months ago)
Lostache ineligible. I was right in the first place. See the standings.
bretb27 (14 months ago)
if you guys were me would you even pick 4 games this weekend?
Sox2010 (14 months ago)
With Carpe not in the running, that puts your currently 3rd, less then 1 unit behind 2nd. The different is $1,500. To drop a place you only lose $250. It is worth the risk to go for 2nd. Wait and see what, if/anything Lineman does and go from there. If he makes no picks, make an early pick and if it wins, stop.
bretb27 (14 months ago)
yeah but you know carpe will make his 4 picks. So that more realistically puts me in 4th.
bretb27 (14 months ago)
and can you submit one game at a time? I didn't realize that was possible
MartinBlank (14 months ago)
The risk is minimal for the reward at place. Carpe has to play---he has 44 picks----so to be eligible he has to make 4 plays to get to 48. You have a decent chance to get into second.
yisman (14 months ago)
carpe may not submit picks
MartinBlank (14 months ago)
Yis, why not? He still needs 4 picks to qualify for the prize? Wait, is Carpe an employee of SBR? And if he is DQ's, does everyone move up a spot?
SR (14 months ago)
The correct answer is, don't be a whimp, its a free contest, go for it!
The Prick (14 months ago)
why would Crappy Dime get dq'ed? rules dont say shit about employees gettin paid.
yisman (14 months ago)
prick sbr rules, pal
The Prick (14 months ago)
you got a reference ta quote? some kinda rule book posted some place? reckon sbr management aint allowed to bs around w/books an contests but mosta the employees are an some of 'em includin Crappy Dime do. see no reason he wouldnt get paid if he won fair an square
ncat12 (14 months ago)
hey Lou in my add/subtract you have me at +.80 when it should be +1.1 ...counting the units correctly with my BB winning
ncat12 (14 months ago)
btw you have me ranked at 231for week 14
ncat12 (14 months ago)
out of a possible 5 units to start the week
ehp6737 (14 months ago)
you won +3 lost -2.2 = +.80 is correct
Jrod124 (14 months ago)
why do people question the units, its a program. Its smarter than u
ncat12 (14 months ago)
some people may not understand everything such as yourself and if I have a question it is nice that I can get an explanation on it no matter how trivial it may be and really dont give 2 flying F%#@! on your comment which btw has nothin to do w/ the original Question
ncat12 (14 months ago)
btw thanks ehp ,I got stuck on thinking a certain way...just a brain fart
ksmort (14 months ago)
Thanks
ksmort (14 months ago)
Will the giants / vikings game be graded or remain a push?
SBR Lou (14 months ago)
It has been graded normally. This situation is quite rare in the NFL so we have never formulated a FAQ rule about it, but any NFL game in a given contest week will have action provided it is re-played in the same week. If this were MLB and the makeup was not immediate, it would have been left as a push.
AliceCooper (14 months ago)
prick leads the hilton contest? is he the same as vegassportsline.com???
milwaukee mike (14 months ago)
118 people knocked out of the money by that ravens int/td - from 135 to 252.
yisman (14 months ago)
Wow, no one in the top 10 took either Monday game, I guess.
yisman (14 months ago)
check that, ksmort took the giants
Michaelmakesit (14 months ago)
y is this contest ending b4 the season is over
The Prick (14 months ago)
we been doin this since back when you was wipin your ass with yer hand an rubbin shit in yer hair (yup this is year 6). aint enough games on the board last coupla weeks
Kaabee (14 months ago)
lol there are 6 bowl games in what would be week 16 and a whopping 20 in what would be week 17.
hhsilver (14 months ago)
Lou, about the grading being updated for the postponed game: maybe that could be posted in the other contests so there won't be big surprises. Most think the "push" is the final grade.
Nickelicious (14 months ago)
My Giants best bet hasn't been graded off the push yet. I will be 2-2 with + units after the appropriate grading. It doesn't mean much this week, since I finished behind the prick by 1/10th of a unit, but it would sure help me stay in the top 100 in the overall standings.
thezbar (14 months ago)
CarpeDime is sitting with 44 total picks?What's wrong with this picture? Dude!
playersonly69 (14 months ago)
He only needs 4 more picks. He is playing smart. No reason to pick anymore than 4 more picks until someone overtakes him
milwaukee mike (14 months ago)
actually if i were carpedime i would've picked one this week and 3 more one unit plays next week, now he has to make a best bet next week. would've been a lot more wiggle room with 3 one-unit plays and then a best bet on monday night if it was worth going for it.
yisman (14 months ago)
there's another reason why he might not be picking...
Cabo (14 months ago)
SBR employee?
thezbar (14 months ago)
I would have made some selections this week if I was in this position.Its worth the attempt to open up some distance on the field. In addition there would be less pressure. Now four picks is necessary next week to reach 48 total
yisman (14 months ago)
yes, Cabo
