New Website (not spam) suggestions

craig r · #1 11-04-2005, 08:24 PM

Hi All,

I just wanted to get some ideas from all of you guys. We are going to be starting up a website that will basically review all the top sportsbooks, post articles, and maybe some contests (and something really awesome for smaller bettors...hopefully up in a few months!!!!). I wanted to know if anybody has any suggestions such as what they would want in the review for each sportsbook, what types of articles you would like, etc... This is basically a free for all for suggestions, so post away (we especially want "newbies" to sports betting to suggest ideas). Thanks for your help.

If a site would keep track of what books are having the best sign up offers at the time I would check it atleast 3 times a week.

I really want to thank whoever posted about MVPSportsbook running that 100% match offer at the start of the NFL season.

What about a handicapping contest?

I think a fun (if long and drawn out) contest would be a pool where contestants submit, say, their best 20 picks in the span of a calendar year. They could be submitted as they come up as the year progresses. Would be interesting to see with what accuracy people hit their biggest plays. How many would it take to win?

There would also be some strategy in which picks to include, i.e., maybe it isn't best to submit half my picks in January, but on the other end you don't want to have 10 picks left to make after Christmas, etc.

Sort of like Easy E's NFL contest, but it would include all sports and center around your absolute best bets. (Personally I think few if any real real solid edges come in the NFL...too much parody/luck/variance.)

I sort of like this idea, but instead of 20 picks make it 500+. Joe square can luck into 15-5, I wanna see 290-210

how about a live odds page that compares the odds of the 30 most popular sportsbook?

Actually, we are going to have something even better than this. It is just taking some time, but I can assure you it will be great (and inexpensive). We will give more details once it is closer to getting ready.
