2012 Gambling Challenge - Week 5
 

Putting this up a day early since I won't be around a computer tomorrow until very late.

The betting windows are open for Week 5 wagering. We have a Thursday game every week now, so I'll post the odds for that one every Wednesday. The rest I will post in a couple of days.

PLEASE read the rules here. The number one rule you need to remember is that editing your bets is not allowed and is subject to immediate disqualification.

Remember that you must place a wager every 3 weeks at minimum. If you go without betting for 3 consecutive weeks, you will be disqualified.

Otter has violated this rule and is disqualified.

No one is in danger of disqualification this week.

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

GOOD LUCK!

Hey Dart, don't mean to be a pest, but I think you made a slight $3000 oversite in my favor.
Going into the weekend games after the Thursday night game I had $7550.
In posts 51 and 52 of week for 4 I, won a $3k bet and lost a $3k bet. (I would have preferred to lose the first one and win the second, instead of the other way around, but heh.)

So maybe my total should be $7250?

Thanks for doing this.

Holy shit. I've never been at $25,000 + before. I usually lose it all or stick right around the 10k i started with. I'm going to go full chiefs from now on and just bet the minimum and hope everyone else blows it and i win by default.

Arizona (-1) $3000

Arizona (-1) $2,000

Cardinals/Rams (OVER 38.5) $1000

I've bowed out by Week 2 or 3 every year before this year.

Rams (+1) $5000

Cheese will do for brains if you're lucky.

Rams (money +102) $1,000

Arizona/St Louis (Over 38.5) $3000

Arizona (-1) $2500

Cardinals (-113 money) $1000
