2014 Gambling Challenge - Week 9
 

The betting windows are open for Week 9 wagering. We have a game Thursday night, so I'll post the odds for that one now. The rest I will post in a couple of days.

Please do me a favor and post your bets like the example below. Do not post "Chiefs points $1,000" or other variations. It makes it easier for me to locate the correct place in the spreadsheet to enter your bet if you do it like the example.

Thanks.

PLEASE read the rules here.

PLEASE READ, RULE CHANGE!! Beginning this year, I will no longer allow any bets to be changed or cancelled. Please make sure you have posted the correct bet before hitting the submit button! Once posted, it is binding and the only option you will have is to post an offsetting bet if you change your mind (which off course will cost you at a minimum the 10% house vig). NO EXCEPTIONS!!

Also, anyone caught editing a bet after posting it will be immediately disqualified!

Remember that you must place a wager every 3 weeks at minimum. If you go without betting for 3 consecutive weeks, you will be disqualified.

The following people must bet this week or be disqualified for violating this rule.

Coming soon...

Above all else, lets have some fun!

How to read the lines

Sample line

Thu 9/6 New Orleans Saints +6 +223 OVER 52.5
(Date, VISITING TEAM: Point Spread, Money Line, Over/Under)
7:30 PM Indianapolis Colts -6 -243 UNDER 52.5
(Time, HOME TEAM: Point Spread, Money Line, Over/Under)

How to bet the Money Line

Sample line
SAINTS +223
COLTS -243

First off, a money bet is a straight up win/lose bet. No points involved, so of course there are odds payoffs.

If you want to bet on the Saints, you will win $223 for every $100 that you bet. Conversely, for the Colts, you will win $100 for every $243 that you bet.

In other words, the team with the - money line is the favorite (therefore lower payout) and the team with the + is the under dog.

Placing Bets

PLEASE, format your bets like this:

Colts (-6) $5000
Chiefs (+142 money) $1000
Chiefs/Texans (Under 38) $2000

:( Thanks again Dartmaster. I'll patiently wait until next year.

Every year I get into the top 5 or so around the middle of the year. I then quit betting normal and over bet to try to win the thing. But, if I would have just stayed the course and bet normal I'd won the thing.

This year is going to be different. I'm looking right at you Carlos and Raybec!:Poke:

You better look at Iowanian first. He's come back from nearly dead to take the lead.

Screw Iowanian :dom: He screwed up his bets and lost but because he formatted his bet wrong he got bailed out.

I say Iowanian is a pretender, not a contender.:harumph:

Yet, he leads the contest to this point. ROFL

I've totally tanked these past two weeks, BRC. I am not a threat. :deevee:

Yeah, but look at this sweet pool in my new beach front house tho....
