milwaukee mike Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 if you are NOT ACTIVE, and the prizes are severely different, then please after you win one and try the place out, either move on or get active! for example, betmania, the $100 freeplay is worth about $60, the $25 freeplay with restrictions for non-actives might be worth $10 at best. so every time a non-active wins $10 they cost an active person $60.

shooterman Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 I would think that the people putting up the prize money are laughing pretty hard at "contest ettiquette". So lets see,the guys who win most of the money, want to make it easier to win more, by banding together and proclaiming the basic broke dick may be breaching some ettiquette by trying to win something for himself. All I know is when I have been a broke dick I didn't give a lumpy turd what the compieition thinks about me playing. The guys putting up the money want new fish, plain and simple.

shooterman Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 For every 10 or 100 or so, so called selfish contertant's, there may be an untapped golden goose customer out there that the book is trying to find. Golden gooses do not advertise themselves, I think you have to get lucky and stumble upon them sometimes. I think that is why they do not limit who can get in. I personally do not think anyone is selfish that takes the time to enter and tries to win. Yeah I am sure there are some cheapskates that will never deposit but hell it could be tightened up by rule changes if the sponsor wanted.

Gamblin Again Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 I admit I play in a lot of contests when inactive, but i'm usually acive in at least one or two at the same time too... I would probably be active in almost all of them, all the time, if it weren't for the fact that it's tighter and harder to move money these days than ever before. I don't really want to wire 100-200 , twice a week, and start to risk being banned, when there are so few options available now days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
