2018 Gambling Challenge - Week 1
 

We've all been waiting for it, and here it is. Week 1 of the 2018 NFL season is upon us! 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.

As a reminder, here is a brief rundown of the rules:

• You are given $10,000 to start out and can bet up to $5,000 on any one bet. There is a $500 minimum bet unless you have less than that in which case you would be all in.
• Payouts are at 90% unless otherwise stated. –170 would mean you have to bet $170 to win $100. +250 would mean you would get a $250 payout on every $100 bet.
• You must bet at least once every 3 weeks or you are eliminated. If you cannot commit to participating at least this much please let us know now so somebody else can take your place.
  • You must place a wager in the first two weeks of the season, or your spot in the competition will be given to someone on the waiting list. This is ONLY for the beginning of the season. After the first three weeks, inactive spots will not be filled from the waiting list!
• Contingency bets are allowed. If you are using contingency bets, please indicate the order of your bets.
• There are no parlays.
• All bets must be placed before the scheduled opening kickoff of the game.
• I will not allow bets to be changed or cancelled once posted. Be sure that you have the correct bet made before hitting the submit button. After that, your only option is to post an offsetting bet which will cost at a minimum, 10% to the house. Anyone caught editing a bet after posting it will be immediately disqualified!

NEW PLAYERS!! The complete rules list is in this thread. Please read them, or I will make fun of you for asking questions about the rules found in the link.

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

GOOD LUCK!

Warning to the new players, you edit a post after its publicly posted will not only get you kicked out of this game but will be seen by everyone here viewing you as a low down dirty cheater. It’s always been seen as a red line that can’t be crossed.

Believe me, I’ve posted many bets I wanted to take back immediately, it’s going to happen. Just leave it and move on.

Falcons (+115 ML) $1000

Falcons/Eagles (Over 45) $1300

Falcons (+115 money) $500

Falcons (+2.5) $1000

I think I posted that bet properly, I want the Falcons with the points, sorry I'm new just trying to make sure I didn't screw up my first bet

Eagles -2.5 Money $1000

Feck, I haven't been on in a while.

(Obligatory) If you have an opening (even though I know you don't) I'm in...

I added you to the waiting list. You're the only one on it so if someone fails to bet the first two weeks or does something stupid to get DQ'd. you can have that spot.

Appreciated.

Philly (-2.5) $2000

I've busted out in Week 1 before, but not until Sunday. Let's tempt fate.

Falcons (+115) $5000

Falcons (+115) $2500

Atlanta Falcons (+2.5) $3000
Atlanta Falcons (+115) $3000
Over 45 $3000

Correction “Falcons / Eagles” (Over 45) $3000

Falcons (+2.5) $2000

First of all, this bet is too late. Kickoff was scheduled for 7:20.

Second and more importantly, you never claimed your spot in this years competition.

ROFL

LMAO

Ouch, Especially after he whipped his dick out in the first reply in this thread.

Only thing that saved you was you bet the Falcons wrong, they were +2.5

LMAO

Wow, you even suck at sucking.

What? I thought I posted in. Why would I post in this thread before the games even start if I'm not thinking I'm in? That would make my intentions to play the game obvious.



So you are saying I'm not allowed to play the game this year?

There was a sign up thread posted on August 8th. It was and still is stickied to the top of this forum. I also posted a thread in the main forum directing everyone to the sign up thread. You never posted in that thread to claim your spot. This is the way I handle sign ups every year.

All spots are filled right now, but I can put you on the waiting list. If someone fails to bet in the first two weeks of the season, their spot will be given to people on that list. You will be second in line behind Rausch.

Eagles -2.5 $5000

ROFL

Have you posted the lines on the other games somewhere yet?

I will add them to the thread starter later tonight
