BD's & KCW's 5th annual gambling thread, who's in?

[BIG_DADDY]

BD Bowl winners have been:

1. Hawaiianboy
2. BIG DADDY
3. Headsnap
4. Headsnap

Headsnap is on a roll and going for the threepeat. It will go through all the regular season right up to and including the Superbowl. 5k maximum bet as usual. Everyone starts with 10k. Russ is upgrading the board so it should be even more awesome than ever this year. To me this is more fun than my FFL league as it requires more skill IMO. So who are the gamblers with game? Who wants in?

Rules are here

[BIG_DADDY]

Oh yea, I'm handing all of you your asses this year. :bang:

May the smack talk begin.

[KCWolfman]

I am definitely in. I will be devoting more time to the site than last year as well.

Oh, and snap's chances of threepeating are about as likely as Julia Childs getting laid tomorrow.

[BIG_DADDY]

I think we should add a minimum bet of $100 too to keep Hoover from betting $1 every week near the end. A trophy might be a nice addition as well. :hmmm:

[KC Dan]

Count me in , BD

[Gaz]

I’m in.

[patteeu]

I'd like a chance to redeem my sad effort from last year. IIRC, I was the second person to go bust.

[Otter]

about as likely as Julia Childs getting laid tomorrow.

Dammit I have a date with her tonight!

Count me in if there is room.

Well quit rolling girl scouts then.

[BIG_DADDY]

Now that I think about it... it doesn't even have to be poker night. I just have to be present.. then it magically becomes poker night. And I somehow lose money when all I wanted to do was watch a f*cking boxing match and have a few beers.

Rat bastard friends o mine.

Do you bitch like a little girl every time it happens?

[headsnap]

goin' for the threepeat, the trifecta, the hat-trick!!!




oh yeah!!! :)

[KCWolfman]

Ah, the name calling starts now. I've heard this before...

"C'mon... don't be a pussy. You know you wanna play cards."
We aren't like that here.

If you want to be a pussy, we don't mind at all.

[cdcox]

I'm in. I was up over $30K at the end last year.

[Chiefnj]

5. patteeu

patteeu kicked butt last year and ended Headsnap's attempt to threepeat. It will go through all the regular season right up to and including the Superbowl. 5k maximum bet as usual. Everyone starts with 10k. Russ is upgrading the board so it should be even more awesome than ever this year. To me this is more fun than my FFL league as it requires more skill IMO.

Points, somtimes straight with higher or lower payouts and over/unders. We have a whole sight dedicated to it you'll love it.

[BIG_DADDY]

I mostly swear... smoke... drink... occassionally break shit.

And god help em if they drive a mini van.

[Phobia]

I think you should add the second place contestants to the thread starter.

After all, everybody who ends up with over $10k is a winner.

BTW, I'll be coming in 2nd again this season.

[KS Smitty]

Any parlays allowed?

[BIG_DADDY]

Any parlays allowed?

No and I doubt you will see it anytime soon, too hard to set up automatically. Russ is expanding and upgrading this year but I don't imagine that would be realistic. That's probably a good thing for most people betting too.

[Earthling]

Just got in and saw this on pg.2 If theres still room I'd like to be in on this again this year, and if you let me I promise not to win so much this year... :p

[big nasty kcnut]

[RealSNR]

I'm in. I actually made the top 10 before doing a talispin curve into bankrupcy last year. Maybe I can actually stay there this year.

[beavis]

I'm in.

[OldTownChief]

I want in if you still have some room.

[mcan]

I'm absolutely in again... I think last year I started and then lost computer access a couple weeks into the season. Anyway I'll try to stay on top of it this time.

[Swanman]

I'm in if there's room.

[KCWolfman]

Still room for anyone who wants to play.

All who have posted on here expressing interest are in.

[KCWolfman]

I added the rules page to the body of BD's thread.

[OldTownChief]

Do you have to place a bet all three ways, or can you put the min on one bet.
Example

Money Bet - 0
Line Bet - 0
Over/Under - 100 Over

What was the total for last years winner?

You can usually bet all three ways. I gotta check on what headsnap had last year.

BIG DADDY AND KCWOLFMAN'S 2004 NFL GAMBLING PAGE

RULES

MOST IMPORTANT – You alone are responsible for insuring your totals are accurate. The House makes errors, and while we are glad to correct those errors, you are responsible for noting them and indicating the error in a public format on the bulletin board. A response with a full breakdown of your weekly bets will be posted on the same thread and any corrections necessary will be made. If you disagree with the results of the review, Big Daddy will review your disagreement. All reviews by Big Daddy are final and not subject to further review.
Any errors that are noted after the beginning of the next NFL week, see rule #10, are null and void.
We reserve the right to refuse the event to any player.
All bets must be placed before kickoff. The Chiefs Planet bulletin board will serve as the official time-clock for your bets. Note that the bulletin board occasionally suffers from network issues and this event is not responsible for late bets due to bulletin board issues.
Maximum bet is 5,000 credits per category.
Minimum bet is 100 credits per category or all remaining credits, whichever is less.
The House takes 10% of all winning bets.
Bets can be made in 3 categories - Line, Over/Under, and Money
Line – The bet is made upon the team you believe will win or lose plus or minus the additional points given or taken by the House. For example, the line on a game is +3.5 for CIN and -3.5 for MIA. If you bet on CIN, to win they must not lose by more than 3 points. If you bet on MIA, to win they must not win by less than 4 points. The return is 100% of your bet minus the House 10%
Over/Under – The bet is made upon the total points scored by both teams. You can bet the teams will be over or under the total amount listed by the House. For example, the Over/Under for the CIN vs. MIA game is 33.5. If you bet on the Over, to win the teams must score a combined total of 34 or more points. The return is 100% of your bet minus the House 10%.
Money – Reading money lines seems confusing at first, but it's fairly easy after you get the hang of it. Money lines are listed using positive and negative numbers. A negative number in front of the money line represents the total amount required to bet to win 100 credits. For example, -135 on MIA would require a 135 bet to return 100 credits. A positive number in front of the money line represents the total return on a 100 credit bet. For example, a +120 on CIN would return 120 credits on a 100 credit bet. All bets are subject to the House 10%.
All ties on the Line and Over/Under bets return 100% of the bet to the player.
The NFL week will start on Thursday and end on the following Monday Night
All bets on expected future earnings are allowed in the same NFL week. The bets will be referred to as Future Earnings Bets (FEBs). FEBs are not allowed for future NFL weeks.
FEBs will be placed in order of scheduled kickoff times. If you do not have enough credits to cover all your FEBs, your total remaining credits will be placed as a bet. If FEBs are placed on two or more games with the same kickoff time and you do not have the credits for all games, the FEBs will be placed on the Home Team that appears alphabetically first. If any remaining credits exist, they will be placed on the other games in kickoff time order and then Home Team alphabetical order.

[Amnorix]

Yeah, okay, here are my dumb questions:

1. How do you "make" a bet? Where do you click, or do we send emails, or...?

2. My understanding of FEBs is basically that you're betting more in one week than you actually have at the start of that week, based on the assumption that you win some of your bets. In other words, Week 1 you could bet 5K credits on a 1:00 game, and a 4:00 game. Since that's all the money you have for the week, you'd technically be done with your betting, BUT the FEB rule would also allow you to place a bet on the Monday night game. This assumes, of course, that you actually won one of the two Sunday games, else you're broke and out of luck.

There is a sight you will link to in order to place bets. What you are saying in 2 is correct. You can place more bets assuming you won others.

1. I will start a thread each week on the Hangar thread. I am assuming it will change back to Contests. You will place your bets there. The thread will have a link to the week's contest with full odds on each game available.
2. Yes.

[OldTownChief]

Do you pick and choose which games you want to bet on, or do you have to bet all games for that week? I've seen it done both ways.

[BIG_DADDY]

Do you pick and choose which games you want to bet on, or do you have to bet all games for that week? I've seen it done both ways.

We post the odds and over/under for all games and you bet what you want on who you want just like you would do in Vegas.

Hey BD,
Do we just place our bets in this thread? The season starts in two days so I thought that I would ask the question.

[teedubya]

Chi3fs would like to be included in your reindeer games.

[Iowanian]

never mind......

[Saulbadguy]

never mind......
Worst 16,000th post ever.

[KC Dan]

I would expect a thread to appear here (http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/forumdisplay.php?f=22) sometime soon.
Is this like "ASSume"?

[Coogs]

Is there still time to get in? If so, I would like to play (Hopefully a little longer than last season where I was out in 3 or 4 weeks).

[Lord Bestyle]

Count me as one step closer to #50....

[Amnorix]

So in theory I'm in. I went to the web page and have no idea how to place my bets. The lines don't seem to be up yet either (maybe they haven't been released yet -- IIRC from waaay back when, they were usually issued on Tuesdays).

With the first game this Thursday, I figured I'd ask if I"m doing something wrong.

[Straight, No Chaser]

I would like in if it isn't too late!!!!!!!!!

[David.]

If there's still room, I'll play. What's the cutoff?

[Mark M]

Is it too late for me to get in on this?

MM
~~:grovel:

[KCWolfman]

Is it too late for me to get in on this?

Everybody to this point is included. My son is in as well (Marsaray), which makes it a total of 54.

[the Talking Can]

well, the season starts today....I guess we have to have our picks in before the game, do we post our bets on this thread?

[the Talking Can]

never mind, I found the thread in the contest forum....imagine that
