2012 Gambling Challenge Signups
 

It's time to start signing up for this year's gambling challenge.

I will cut this off at 57 participants and last year's players have first dibs at their spots. I know some of the people in the list below will not re-up because I don't see them post anymore, so I'm pretty sure there will be a few spots open for new players.

For last year's players:
Please indicate in this thread whether or not you intend to participate again. I will change the color of your name below to GREEN to indicate you are signed up.

IMPORTANT!! YOU HAVE UNTIL MONDAY, AUGUST 27TH AT 6:00 PM CENTRAL TO SIGN UP. AFTER THAT TIME, I WILL START FILLING SPOTS FROM THE WAITING LIST.

For potential new players:
Please indicate in this thread that you would like to be placed on the waiting list. After the deadline for returning players passes, I will fill the empty spots on a first come, first served basis.


As a reminder, here is a brief rundown of the rules:

• You are given $10,000 to start out and can bet up to $5,000 on any one bet. There is a $500 minimum bet unless you have less than that in which case you would be all in.
• Payouts are at 90% unless otherwise stated. –170 would mean you have to bet $170 to win $100. +250 would mean you would get a $250 payout on every $100 bet.
• 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.
  • You must place a wager in the first two weeks of the season, or your spot in the competition will be given to someone on the waiting list. This is ONLY for the beginning of the season. After the first three weeks, inactive spots will not be filled from the waiting list!
• Contingency bets are allowed. If you are using contingency bets, please indicate the order of your bets.
• There are no parlays.
• All bets must be placed before the scheduled opening kickoff of the game.
• You can also change your original bet as long as that game has not kicked off yet, BUT DO NOT EDIT YOUR ORIGINAL POST! Editing your original post is subject to immediate dismissal from the competition. If you wish to change your bet, quote your original bet and state what you want to change it to. Any other method will not be allowed and the original bet will stand!

Yes please and thanks again for doing it!

Wait list me!!!!

I am not missing out this year.

Since KurtCobain is also permabanned, you'll be guaranteed a spot.

Sofa King is in again.

Signing up and ready for duty. Thanks for doing this again Dartgod.

In

Are you going back to Sofa King anytime soon, or staying with Hulk Hogan?

What's with all the wrestler name changes anyway?

In, formerly known as Forward Dante, and I plan on a much more minimalist betting strategy this year.

I'm in!

I'm in.

I'm in,thanks again

I'm in.

In again Bob, thanks!

I predict I'll be changing my name back sometime soon. Before Fantasy Football starts.

And the name change was just going to be me and loochy, but apparently a shitload of other people wanted in. Just a harmless off season activity.

EDIT:

BROTHER!

IN

I'm in...

In. Thank you.

Hell to the mutha****in yeah, yo! In like Matt Flynn.

I'm putting you and RedDread in since I know that Hootie and KurtCobain will not be back.

I would think a sofa king would turn into more of a bulk hogan.

I'm in, going for 3. Count lil momma in as well.

sign me up again.

thx Dart!

Count me in on the waiting list.

I will take a spot on the waiting list as well. Thanks!

Not sure if you caught this or just marked the wrong Arrowhead.

In. Thanks for doing this again.

Yeah, just marked the wrong one. I fixed it.

In. And thanks Dart!

Put me on the wait list please

In. Thanks for your hard work on this.

In please

I'm in. I love it. My favorite thing about this site.

I thought I was your favorite thing about this site....

Thanks again for running this Dartgod.

My time has been getting increasingly stretched thin across the years. Last year I wound up feeling a bit guilty that I rushed through my picks and didn't really enjoy it much, did horrible, and wished I had let someone fresh and excited have my spot instead.

So I'm officially stating that I will NOT be participating this year. Good luck to everyone and once again, thanks to Dartgod for running it.

Thanks for letting me know. I will move mr. tegu from the waiting list into your spot.

In thanks

I'm in, thanks!

Sweet! Thanks Dartgod and Amnorix for letting me in your spot.

Thanks.

Well it's not easy promoting all that liberal ideology. It is an election year though so maybe next year.

In

Sure, I'll give it a go

I will participate! I will surprise a lot of people with by using my football knowledge and strategy!

I'd like to play again, please!

Put me on the waiting list.

Hopefully the n00bs will take notice of my betting style and learn how not to do this.

i'd play (or be on the waiting list) if i could, please?

(also known as cabletech94)

I sure hope headsnap and otter are in. I am sure you will take care of Greg.

In please.

Yeah, the long time regulars get some slack with me. I usually send out PMs to the slackers to remind them to get their asses signed up.

:D

Didn't even realize this was here. Sorry for the delay. Goes back to the whole "sticky threads are worthless" stigma I and many others have.
