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

:rockon:

Yeesh, a 40K gut punch last week for me last week. I shouldn't have brought up Sauto taking a shit a couple of weeks ago, lol.

It's going to be a photo finish between you two bastards. The rest of us should take side bets on which of you two will outlast the other.

Texans/Titals (Over 40½) $500

Saints/Falcons (Over 56½) $500

Cardinals/Rams (Under 40½) $500

Kansas City Chiefs (-4½) $500


Raiders/Broncos (Over 40½) $500

Damn...you lost more in one week than all but a couple people even had. Kind of impressive, in a way.

Nah, there's still 5 betting weeks left. Not as many games, but still...
SNR will probably run away with this. He's like a next-level ninja. Or dartgod.

Guys...quick question. As bettors...how much worth would you put in a ranking system that was 70-75% accurate every week in terms of predicting straight-up winners based on its rankings?

Pffft

Yeah, you're right. The problem is that I never make it this far in this game, so I forgot that it goes through the playoffs. :D

This is a question for Dartgod and/or Nzoner (or any of the other people that know their betting). For me personally, as a relative betting n00b, I'd say that would be pretty helpful?

Steelers -6 $5,000

Packers -3 $5,000

Chiefs - 4 1/2 $2,631
