2009 Gambling Challenge - Playoffs (Super Bowl)

[Dartgod]

The betting windows are open for Super Bowl wagering.

Regarding Super Bowl Wagering: As in previous years, I have added some prop bets for the Super Bowl to make things a little more interesting. These will be; 1st Half spread, 1st Half Money Line, 1st Half Over/Under, First Team to Score and Last Team to Score.

The 1st Half Spread and Over/Under will be bet like normal bets, the 1st Half Money Line and First/Last Team to Score will be bet like a money line bet. As all other bets go, the Min/Max on these is $500/$5,000 (unless you are all-in)

Any bets entered with the wrong line or wrong teams will be void!

Notes

• Please pay attention to the starting dates/times!
• Remember that you must bet at least once every 3 weeks or you will be disqualified.
  • KCFalcon59, OnTheWarpath58 and Otter were disqualified for violating this rule
• Stumppy was our only casualty last week

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

Would have been nice. Tax man is taking all the fun out of gambling in Vegas these days. I haven't used an offshore book in a couple years now. I don't know how doable that is still but you might want to throw a few hundred in an account next year. I won every year in footbal when I was doing it. Basketball is a different story. Never betting that again.
