Who's in? I know we already have a few. This will be are 6th year and last year UTChief won it all with over 30 participating. It has been a lot of fun and I am looking forward to trying to win my 2nd as well. The rules will be posted when we put up the official sight but basically the odds are posted and most payouts are at 90% unless otherwise noted. You start out with 10k and we will move up the maximum bet to 5k seeing how tight the competition was coming down to the last few weeks last year. Phil may approach the way we put this together a little different this year but if not we will have a web page to place bets. Here are the people I already know are in.

[RealSNR]

I'll see if I can avoid going broke this year.

I'm in

[BigRedChief]

I thought only Bob Dole was able to refer to himself in the 3rd person?

[ChiefsOne]

I'll play....what's the deal. Always ready to gamble!

[the Talking Can]

Alright, I have no idea how this works but I'll give it a try. :$2500:

cool :clap:

there'll be seperate forum set up soon...it's easy, they use Vegas lines..you can bet straight up/money line/ and under-over on scoring....you start with $10,000 and bet any game/s you want each week...

[morphius]

I thought only Bob Dole was able to refer to himself in the 3rd person?
No, only Bob Dole can do it without looking like a poser.

[mnchiefsguy]

Have been lurking around for awhile..what the heck...count me in, I love to gamble!

You're not gonna win anything if you keep picking the Broncos to cover.

Wow we are going to have a good sized group this year I wonder if we will hit 50.

[Chest Rockwell]

I'll throw my hat in there.

[Tinlar]

sure, sign me up

[Dartgod]

Wow we are going to have a good sized group this year I wonder if we will hit 50.
I think we should cap it there. I wonder what I've got myself into...

[BigRedChief]

You're not gonna win anything if you keep picking the Broncos to cover.

I swear you guys are gonna have too much fun with that this year.:shake:

For the record.........to the Planeteers not getting the cross thread humor and to also publically disavow any connection between me and the broncos I hereby proclaim the Broncos and their fans lower forms of life than the dung beetle. :harumph:

[BigRedChief]

I think we should cap it there. I wonder what I've got myself into...

snooze you lose. Isn't that a Planet factoid?

[BIG_DADDY]

I think we should cap it there. I wonder what I've got myself into...

OK we will cap it there. ROFL

[Phobia]

So, is BigOrangeBronco in or out?

[Dartgod]

I'm just adding them to the thread header, we have 24 right now and we will close it at 47 as pevious winners should have an extra chance to get in as well as Russ for running it last year. I will also e-mail you my # in case you ever need it. I don't know if Phil was following up on the vbookie thing either so you should PM him before beginning. You know how it has worked in the past but I will put together the rules again and e-mail them to you tomorrow so you can post them. Thanks again for running with this.

I don't care how you run it, really, as long as I'm in, but I'll point out that last year we had a whole bunch of people who were "in" but never made a single bet. After 10 weeks or whatever, Russ just axed 'em right off the list

So take all these statements of interest with a little grain of salt. When the time comes to lay down the fake monay, you may find that a whole bunch of people don't participate after all.

That will work. And yeah, make sure you post the rules. I want to make sure I get the vig and the money bets right.

3 weeks no betting your out, that's the rule. It does get easier to run as the season moves forward with some people not participation and other spontaneously combusting. Hopefull every one that says their in is as other would like to take their place. If your not serious guys don't play.

That's reasonable. Don't know if you want to allow anyone to join in after 3 weeks as "replacements" for people that get the boot. Whatever, I'll leave this administrative crapola to you. :D

[carlos3652]

Im In Please!

[Bowser]

If you still have room, I'll give it a shot.

[bkkcoh]

Please add me to the list. I missed out on it last year for the first time in years. Thanks! :thumb:

[Nzoner]

I'll take another shot.

Thanks guys,it was alot of fun last year.

[BIG_DADDY]

Already pushing 30 this is going to be a good year.

[MOhillbilly]

i'll scratch.

[patteeu]

Count me in again if there is room. Thanks.

[BIG_DADDY]

Were going to hit 50 this year the cutoff point. There are not many spots left so if for any reason anybody decides they don't want their spot say so because I am sure somebody else would use it. I threw Russ and headsnap in as headsnap has won twice and should have the option of playing. I also threw Russ in because he ran it last year and should also have that option. If either of those two do not want to play please say something. I still don't know how to get a hold of Russ.

[Marcellus]

I'm in if possible. Time to lose my noob status. I have been lurking here for close to 5 freaking years now.

[KCFalcon59]

I'll give it a whirl if you still have room.

3. 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.
4. Contingency bets are allowed.
5. There are no parlays
6. All bets must be placed before the start of the game.
7. You can also change your original bet as long as that game has not kicked off yet, BUT DO NOT EDIT YOUR ORIGINAL POST.

Big Daddy, I got your PM, but can't answer you until you empty your PM folders as they are full. I'll just post my response here.

Gambling thread coming along?

Pretty good. I have a spreadsheet now that will calculate the wins/losses for each week. I just need to populate it with all the peoples names and each weeks games. The formulas are all in place.

A couple of questions though.
1. Do I take the 10% vig from all winning bets? I wasn't sure if the money bets do this.
2. Where do I get the weekly lines?

[SPchief]

count me in

[WebGem]

09/02/05 147 Vikings(Minnesota) OFF +3 Over 42.5
Buy Points:
21:00 ET 148 Seahawks(Seattle) OFF -3 Under 42.5


OK this is how it works. Almost all over unders don't specify so there is a 90% pay out.

Now lets take a look at this bet

09/01/05 117 Packers(GreenBay) OFF +8 Over 40
Buy Points:
20:00 ET 118 Titans(Tennessee) OFF -8 Under 40

It doesn't specify payout so it is 90%

Now lets take a look at this one

09/02/05 143 Chiefs(KansasCity) OFF +3 (-120) Over 43.5
Buy Points:
20:00 ET 144 Rams(StLouis) OFF -3 (Even) Under 43.5

IF you bet the Chiefs in this game you will get 3 points but will have to bet $120 to get a $100 payout. If you bet the Rams you would be giving up 3 points but your payout would be even and would receive $100 for ever $100 you bet.

One more

09/01/05 101 Jets(NewYork) OFF +3 (-115) Over 36.5
Buy Points:
19:30 ET 102 Eagles(Philadelphia) OFF -3 (-105) Under 36.5

If you bet the Jets you receive 3 points and need to bet $115 to win a $100

If you bet on the Eagles you give up 3 points but wouldwould only need to bet $105 to win $100

Does that make sense?

[BIG_DADDY]

Bob I get my odds from www.sportsbook.com

[Dartgod]

It was my understanding that the money lines were for straight up win/loss. The point spread (+3/-3) is an even money bet (minus the vig if you win). Am I wrong?

[saraed001]

You are correct Dartgod.

[Dartgod]

My main question was; is there a 10% vig on all winning bets (spread, money line and over/under)?

[BIG_DADDY]

It was my understanding that the money lines were for straight up win/loss. The point spread (+3/-3) is an even money bet (minus the vig if you win). Am I wrong?

Correct payout is 90% unless otherwise stated as it is on over/unders.

[Dartgod]

OK, I'm shutting this thing down. We have 52 entries, including my wife. She is signed up as Slammer. I'll get another thread going soon with the first week's lines. Can a mod throw the games forum link back up at the top so it will be easier to find?

Here is the complete list. Let me know if I left someone off.

So only 52 get to play...doesn't sound fair to me...if it's not open to the whole planet, then its more like a private club...with some players not even posting on the planet...:rolleyes:

Wow. If you had asked nicely, I might have let you in. However, since you decided to whine like a two-year-old about, I think we have enough.

BTW, If you knew how much time I've already put into this, you'd understand why I can't add another player at this point. I've created a huge Excel workbook to track the weekly bets, results and standings. Adding just one more player forces me to edit 18 seperate worksheets, at approximately 20 - 30 minutes of my time. Sorry.

I don't remember asking to be let in..I just don't think it's fair to the guys who haven't posted in awhile due to other things....and who the hell are you talking to...asking nicely around here gets you nothing except made fun of...besides I would probably win it all like I did your little yahoo college bb game....ROFL

[Dartgod]

Pretty much. It's not an easy thing to do and is a lot of data entry.
Yep, I just checked the file size and it's 6.07 MB and that's pretty much just the template. As the season goes on it will grow quite a bit I assume.

Hey C4Me, if you're so offended, why don't you start your own gambling game? I'm sure there are plenty of other oppressed people who would like to play.

[Dartgod]

I don't remember asking to be let in...Well then, unless you want to run a fantasy gambling game for a few hundred people why don't you just mind your own f***ing business?

Stupid gunt...

I wish I had a copy of vbulletin to fiddle with, it would be nice to integrate it with the BB and do it all with a web page. It would take a while for someone like me to put that hack into place, but it would be nice so that all that has to be entered by the person running the game is the final scores for the games.
