2015 Gambling Challenge - Week 3

[Dartgod]

The betting windows are open for Week 3 wagering! We have a game Thursday night, so I'll post the lines for that one now. The rest I will post in a couple of days.

NOTE: Hootie 2.0, Timbone and UTChief did not bet in the first 2 weeks, so they are disqualified. 2 of those spots have been filled from the waiting list, but there is still 1 available. Post here or in the signup thread to claim it.

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

Shoot. I know I'm disqualified, but can I re-apply for that 1 spot and bet this week? I was just coming in here to make a bet =( I understand if this isn't possible. Sorry, Dart.

So here's the deal. There were 3 deadbeats who did not follow the rules and wager in the first two weeks. And there were only 2 people on the waiting list. They were both offered a spot in the contest. Only oldandslow has accepted so far. I'm still waiting for MOHillbilly to accept his spot. Also, I already let TimBone back in, so there are no spots available at the moment.

I need confirmation from MOHillbilly if he wants the spot. It's already been posted in a couple of places. I am going to send him an IM. If he does not respond that he wants the spot by Saturday at noon, you can get back in.

Fair enough?

Fair. Thanks Dart!
