2012 Gambling Challenge Signups

[Dartgod]

It's time to start signing up for this year's gambling challenge.

I will cut this off at 57 participants and last year's players have first dibs at their spots. I know some of the people in the list below will not re-up because I don't see them post anymore, so I'm pretty sure there will be a few spots open for new players.

For last year's players:
Please indicate in this thread whether or not you intend to participate again. I will change the color of your name below to GREEN to indicate you are signed up.

IMPORTANT!! YOU HAVE UNTIL MONDAY, AUGUST 27TH AT 6:00 PM CENTRAL TO SIGN UP. AFTER THAT TIME, I WILL START FILLING SPOTS FROM THE WAITING LIST.

For potential new players:
Please indicate in this thread that you would like to be placed on the waiting list. After the deadline for returning players passes, I will fill the empty spots on a first come, first served basis.


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.
You can also change your original bet as long as that game has not kicked off yet, BUT DO NOT EDIT YOUR ORIGINAL POST! Editing your original post is subject to immediate dismissal from the competition. If you wish to change your bet, quote your original bet and state what you want to change it to. Any other method will not be allowed and the original bet will stand!

The complete rules list is in this thread:

I predict I'll be changing my name back sometime soon. Before Fantasy Football starts.

And the name change was just going to be me and loochy, but apparently a shitload of other people wanted in. Just a harmless off season activity.

[Amnorix]

Thanks again for running this Dartgod.

My time has been getting increasingly stretched thin across the years. Last year I wound up feeling a bit guilty that I rushed through my picks and didn't really enjoy it much, did horrible, and wished I had let someone fresh and excited have my spot instead.

So I'm officially stating that I will NOT be participating this year. Good luck to everyone and once again, thanks to Dartgod for running it.

Signups are closed. There is still a chance to get in from the waiting list because if anyone fails to bet in the first two weeks, I will fill that spot with someone who wishes to participate.

[patteeu]

$10,000 Chiefs over Atlanta!

[Mr. Flopnuts]

[keg in kc]

Signups are closed. There is still a chance to get in from the waiting list because if anyone fails to bet in the first two weeks, I will fill that spot with someone who wishes to participate.Well crap, of course I log in for the first time since July a half hour after after the signups close. LMAO

[Dartgod]

The deadline was actually last night. I was wondering why you didn't signup again. I even sent you a PM.

[keg in kc]

The deadline was actually last night. I was wondering why you didn't signup again. I even sent you a PM.Yeah, I saw your PM. That's what actually got me over here to the thread.

I just took a couple months off from the planet, focused on some other stuff in my life. Not any kind of big deal...

If you could put me on the waiting list, that would work. I'll be around for the whole season if a spot opens up.

Don't worry. It's entirely possible that I bust out in the first week, much like I did last year.

[OnTheWarpath15]

We have a game starting on Wednesday. Need the lines so I can bet big and bust out giving Keg a spot.

[Priest31kc]

[Dartgod]

Headsnap did not bet in the first two weeks so his spot is open to the first person in the waiting list.

Bevischief, you have until tomorrow at 6:00 PM CDT to claim this spot.

[bevischief]

[Dartgod]

Cool. You have to bet this week.
