Bestyle - Note, your bets were amended. Please keep track of your total in the future.

You have 8,450 credits. You attempted to bet 10,000 credits in the Noon Games. You cannot bet more than you have:
PIT/BAL Under 2,000
KC 2,500
WAS 2,000
GB 2,500
SF/NO Under 1,000
Total 10,000

Per the rules (see #12) the alphabetically listed last home team is the New York Giants; therefore, your Wash Over NYG for 2,000 has been amended to 450 credits. Also note that the bets for the 3:05 games and the MNF game have the initials FEB (Future Earnings Bet) in parentheses after them. If you want to change these bets, do so in a new post signifying you wish to delete the original bet and place a new bet or simply not place a bet.

This means the bet only applies if you have money after the Noon games to apply to the bet. If you do not have the money to cover, your bet will not count.

Please keep track of your earnings in the future as this can be a real pain in the ass to adjust and notify.

UTChief - Note there is no "Money" for the IND/TEN game. Sportsline currently has the Money set to Off. Your bet for 1,000 was not placed.

Rix - Note The MIA/BEN is a partial FEB (see rule #12) and the Pats/Cards Under is a total FEB. The bets will be placed providing you won or retained earlier money.

SNR - Per the rules, your NE -380 bet is placed at the maximum of 5,000 credits.

5,000 per category per NFL game (see rule #5). Your original bets were fine. However, I have removed your KC bet as you requested. You can replace it if you would like.

NEW BET
Cinncy -3 for $1500

New Bet

Cincy -3 for an additional $262.50 which should be all I've got left. Total of $1762.50 on Cinncy overall...Sorry Wolfman for the double bet...I just wasn't sure how much I had to bet at first...Thanks in advance...

It looks like a bloodbath this week.

Dang...Sorry Wolfman, again...I guess all I got left is $1742.50 instead of $1762.50 and that lower amount is what I wanted to bet...I gotta remember that 9-5=4....Duh..... :)

Talk about getting smoked. Ouch.

I officially need to dispute the allocation of FEBs for my bets this week. The Bengals/'phins game is after the Pats/Cards game, so IMHO it's impossible for my $2,000 bet on the Pats over/under to be a FEB while my $2,000 bet on Bengals -3 is not.

The reason you made the allocations that you did, and I don't blame you, is the order in which I posted the bets (I listed the Bengals/phins bets before the Patriots bets). But I don't see how that could affect the method by which FEB is determined.

Sadly, considering the bloodbath that was the 1:00 games, this has become relevant, since if I lose my bets on the 8:00 game tonight, it would affect my bet on the 4:15 game this afternoon if we retain the allocation you have assigned.

Please let me know your thoughts (as if I'm anything but a crippled gambler either way *sigh*).

When I first looked at this week's games and lines, there was little I saw that I liked. Subsequently, I determined that I wanted to employ a particular strategy, which ultimately proved stupid in a situation where there are few games I felt all that good about.

Oh well, as long as I'm not bankrupt I'm sure I'll be limping along not too terribly much worse off than many others.

I see alot of doubling-down in the near future for those of us with no game left to speak of...

Bengals money $2200

Mark M is busted

Codger - I have you at 2698


You started with:
850
1050 Moneyline on CHI
798 Moneyline on JAX
000 House
2698 total

I have currently placed your bet at 1763 (there are no cents). However, if you have the balls you can raise your bet to 2698 (peer pressure.... peer pressure..... peer pressure)

Read the rules - I allocate the FEBs according to alphabetical order of the home teams (Arizona comes before Cincinnati). You also had the opportunity to change the bets long before kickoff in any of the games. I am sorry it didn't pan out more favorably, but I have to pick the most advantageous method for myself if I am checking balances of 54 contestants daily.

To here

In fact Rix, I show I notified you at 3:14 am on Friday night, more than 30 hours before kickoff.

Crap, I forgot to make my bets.

Is it to late to Lay $2000 on Minnesota (+3)? If not that is my bet.

Nope, and done

Thanks Wolfman...I forgot to add in my initial $850 on my totals...( ROFL About the peer preasure - I definately would have bet it all on Cincy but it was a wash anyway) And Hey! I'm not in last place anymore!! :thumb:

That's fine. Ultimately, it didn't impact anything in my case anyway.
