Nov 8 2009 NFL Early Games

[LVG]

Early games for betting, excluding the Cards game.

Note - no guarantee of payoff before the later games. I haven't decided if I want to do one big vbookie event or a bunch of small ones. One big one is easier, but can be more confusing. Let me know what you think.

[edit] - Vegas odds. Yes, bet 110 to win 100.

This should all make sense - let me know if you're confused. Basically, you can bet on either team with the spread, and the over / under.

Crap - it left the last two games off, hold on and I'll put them up.

[edit 2] - No, I will not adjust points. What you see is what you get. There's no way to account for a points adjustment.

Since you're the one doing all the work, I'd go with easier. Can't wait. I've been on the receiving end of some VERY generous donations this week to play with.

 

[LVG]

Fixed. I also found a place that lists straight bets on who to win, if someone is interested in that. However, it will make the bet expand by another 12 items, and it's large enough already. I may do that in another bet.

I would do at least 1/1 across the board.

Yeah, someone piped up a bit ago and asked about Vegas odds. That's Vegas odds - it's not 1/1.

You should see the straight win odds for the Pack. It was -535.

That means, you'd have to bet 535 to win 100. Tells you how confident that the bookies are on that one.

[edit] - I'll change it.

 

[TJ]

But we like lopsided odds

Don't change it on my account.
Don't you know my now that everyone on this board is a critic.

If the odds are 10/10 1.00 does that mean there is no way to win? You just come out the same amount you put in?

I'm not a gambler so I don't exactly understand.

It's a 1/1, plus your original bet back.

So, if you bet $150, and won, you will get $150 in winnings plus your original bet of $150 back, for a total of $300.

Ah, now I get it. Thanks!

10/10 odds suck. Should have been at least 100/100.

Trillionaire getting betting lessons.

Trillionaire getting betting lessons.

Getting money through nefarious means does not a gambler make.

 

[DemsMyBoys]

Well since our A$FN dollars got "adjusted" I'm back to making my el-cheapo bets.

 

[NuttinButTDs]

whats the use. 50/= gets me no-where. it took me 1 year to get my 1000/ to 5M (thanks to O for a 1M gift) and then got stiffed.

I know, same here.

Lame.

The people who didn't have fat stacks of A$FN got screwed.

 

[OmeneX]

I've seen alot of memebers with A$FN amounts of 50. I think GAD was the lowest with 7? There wasn't a way for them to place a minimum amount for ppl?

I just put 4million down in bets. Let's see how it goes. I think I got lucky because The Great O gave me a nice donation right before the changes hit.
