2014 Gambling Challenge - Week 1

[Dartgod]

We've all been waiting for it, and here it is. Week 1 of the 2014 NFL season is upon us! We have a game Thursday night, so I'll post the odds for that one now. The rest I will post in a couple of days.

PLEASE read the rules here.

PLEASE READ, RULE CHANGE!! Beginning this year, I will no longer allow any bets to be changed or cancelled. Please make sure you have posted the correct bet before hitting the submit button! Once posted, it is binding and the only option you will have is to post an offsetting bet if you change your mind (which off course will cost you at a minimum the 10% house vig). NO EXCEPTIONS!!

Also, anyone caught editing a bet after posting it will be immediately disqualified!


Remember that you must place a wager in the first two weeks of the season. If you fail to do so, your spot will be given to someone on the waiting list

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

In the future, please post the line with your bets. It keeps me from having to look them up when updating the spreadsheet.

Thanks.
