2014 Gambling Challenge - Week 2

[BIG_DADDY]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dartgod will post results when he returns after week 2. Good luck.


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 in the first two weeks of the season. If you fail to do so, your spot will be given to someone on the waiting list

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

I haven't entered all the bets from week 2 yet, so I do not know.

Haha, guess what? Neither me nor my wife bet in weeks 1 or 2. But we are exempt from the rules since I run this thing.

[Dartgod]

Well, I really ****ed this up. Technically me and my wife should be out. But I'm not running this thing without participating and I told my wife she didn't need to worry about it until week 3.

So what I am going to do is give you one of the spots that went bust in week 1 (Hoover and Lil Momma). bkkcoh can have the other one.

But they are still eligible to play next year. So I will spend the time next year to get my spreadsheet updated to allow 60 players. That way everyone is eligible for next year.

[Sully]

The guy who runs this spends 2-3 hours each week running this thing. Is really too much to ask that you guys to spend a couple of minutes reading the ****ing rules?

I'm glad you took it as meant (in fun) and didn't boot my ass from the deal.

And if I did my math wrong after last week and don't have enough, cancel the Seahawks.

Yeah, you were $150 short for the Seahawks bet.

I don't know if you wanted the points or money line. Bet not accepted.

No canceling of bets anymore so you have nothing left to bet with.

You only had $8900 to start, so I cannot accept the NE bet.

You only had $7,400 to start so the Giants bet is not accepted.

Add in:

You only had $1,360 left. No bet.
