2023 Gambling Challenge - Week 14

[Dartgod]

PLEASE READ!

If possible, please try to put all your bets in one post rather than posting a couple of bets and then a few minutes later posting another one or two. It just makes it easier on me when entering them into my spreadsheet. I'm only talking about bets that are posted a few minutes apart. All others are ok.

Also, if you are placing multiple bets in one post, please try to enter them in the order that they appear in this post. Again, it just makes it easier on me. Thanks!


The betting windows are open for Week 14 wagering! We have a game Thursday, so I'll post the lines for that now. The rest I will post later.

The following people have not bet in last two weeks and must place a bet this week or they are disqualified.

Nobody

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.
• I will not allow bets to be changed or cancelled once posted. Be sure that you have the correct bet made before hitting the submit button. After that, your only option is to post an offsetting bet which will cost at a minimum, 10% to the house.
  Anyone caught editing a bet after posting it will be immediately disqualified! That includes deleting posts. If you made a mistake, quote the post and explain what happened. Chances are I will be lenient.

NEW PLAYERS!! The complete rules list is in this thread. Please read them, or I will make fun of you for asking questions about the rules found in the link.

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

Dart,

Can you check my total? It's winnings -10% on most bets, right?

I thought I won 6,000 -600=5400 this week.

So I thought my total should be 34, 513?

You can't do the math like that. You can't subtract the total losses from the total wins and then take out the 10% vig. You have to calculate each bet separately like this:


Jacksonville Jaguars ( Moneyline +130) 3,000 L -3,000

Los Angeles Rams (+7.5) 2,000 W +1,800

Cincinnati Bengals (-2) 2,000 W +1,800

Vikings/Raiders (Over 40) 3,000 L -3,000

Chiefs/Bills (Under 48.5) 3,000 W +2,700

Cowboys (-3.5) 3,000 W +2,700

Dolphins/Titans (Over 46.5) 2,000 W +1,800

Total Win: +4,800
Starting Balance: +29,113
Ending Balance: +33,913

Yeah, that makes sense. Napkin math fails here.
