Check this great contest at Ask The Bookie:

The first round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs has been anything but predictable. At the start of the playoffs it looked like the Heat and the Bulls were destined to meet in the Eastern Conference Finals but after Derrick Rose went down for the Bulls it’s anyone’s title to take.

ATB wants you to join in on the excitement and win money while you’re enjoying the game by buying squares to the Eastern Conference Finals Game 4. The cost for each square is 100 points. Four different prizes are up for grabs:

The Prizes are:

1st Quarter winner: 500 ATB Points

3rd Quarter winner: 500 ATB Points

Halftime winner: 1000 ATB Points

Final Score winner $250 Cash

If a poster wins ATB points they will be transferred to him/her within twenty-four hours of the game. The poster who picks the Final Score can claim his/her prize by emailing the contestguru18@gmail.com. Posters are allowed up to four squares each.

Each square you buy will result in 100 points being deducted from your grand total.

To play:

Simply select a square or squares not already taken by clicking on it in the Contest Pool. A Pop-Up box will ask you if you want to spend 100 points for the square you clicked on. You can click on YES in which case you will get the square as your avatar will fill in the square.

If you do not have an avatar the system will assign you a stock avatar and 100 points will be deducted from your point total. Click on cancel and you will be back to where you started before you clicked on the particular square in question. To make sure the square is yours place your mouse over the square and your username will appear as owner of that particular square. Be sure you are logged in whenever you attempt to buy a square.

Anyone experiencing difficulties can contact me at contestguru18@gmail.com with your poster name and a brief description of the difficulty. I will get back to you ASAP.

The first poster to take a particular square gets it.

Once all the 100 squares are sold on the pool card, the numbers will be drawn. This will be done with a deck of cards (ace – 10) facing upside down. After shuffling them, a person draws them one at a time until all of them are used as they are selected across the top of the columns and repeats the process on the left (facing the dealer) side of the sheet.

We will have witnesses during the drawing to ensure that no foul play is involved and everyone has an equal chance to get any number.

Once the numbers are drawn, all the posters can view their numbers and sit back and enjoy the game with an added incentive.

A maximum of up to four squares per poster is a contest rule.

No house cut will be subtracted in this ATB Pool.

The winning squares will be circled and in this thread we will identify which posters won each prize.

I will be happy to answer any questions posted in this thread.

1) Always be honest. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Don’t back down to veterans and don’t run around kissing moderator butt. Look at me; I usually go toe to toe with most forum moderators. Guys like Knuckles are scared of me. So called head moderators like Frankie won’t come near me. Make a name for yourself and make that name stick.

2) Never post lies. I will repeat… never post lies. If you cannot win an Internet battle, walk away like a man. Who cares if you are the leader of the retards, you’re still a retard. Don’t start and spread rumors like a 75 year old Jewish woman. Be a man or in some cases a woman and battle with pride.

3) Personal information is off limits. If you post, private message or e-mail another poster’s personal information you should be banned for life and have your personal information posted as well. People who pull stunts like this are low down scum. I’ve seen posters call into other poster’s jobs. That’s taking it too far; way too far. Now, there are some exceptions to this rule. If another poster scams or steals from you, post the information. Lastly, photos are off limits as well. Unless someone gives his/her permission in writing, outing them is not cool.

4) Post at the post not the poster. Simply stated if you don’t agree with a post, attack the post not the poster. Go after what is written not who wrote it. State your opinion and make sure you back it up with FACTS not bullcrap.

5) Never take posting seriously. Common sense however most people that hang out at online gambling forums are unstable. I’ve seen posters threaten to kill people. Posting is not serious business. Let me repeat, posting is NOT serious people. Take a walk, smell the flowers, talk to a real person and for the love of God get a life!

6) Always keep things light. If you notice in most of my posts, I nickname posters. There is Camper, Knucklehead, Frankie Numbers, Nessie and Gulfer. Most of my posts, even the ones about sports are light hearted and fun. Don’t take what you write seriously, I can tell you that I’m not. Oh and for the record I am straight as an arrow.

7) Have real friends, not e-friends. Actual people that you converse with in real life. I saw one guy brag about starting his day by having a Skype call with fellow posters. Okay Gordon Gecko I am sure those calls are pretty productive. Nerds talking to other nerds about not getting laid last night. Sounds cool to me bro.

8 ) Don’t tail posters without doing your research first. I don’t care if a guy is hot or not, do your homework before using your hard earned money to bet on sports. Read other forums and look at the statistics. Do not follow some dude because he won two in a row.

9) Act your age not your kid’s age. How many wannabe tough guys have you run into? Guys that think they know it all or can do it all. Grow up, it’s the Internet. Most of us are failed athletes anyway so losers like us need to stick together.

10) Last but not least, make sure you get something out of posting. If you find yourself ignoring your job or your family, give it up. Pretty soon you’ll be on your deathbed thinking how much time you’ve wasted.

Boys as always I am here to help. Follow my lead and you too will become a big time poster. Until next time gentlemen and remember… when you’re drinking do not drive and when you’re driving do not drink. Later.
