2012 Gambling Challenge - Week 2

[Dartgod]

The betting windows are open for Week 2 wagering. We have a Thursday game every week now, so I'll post the odds for that one every Wednesday. The rest I will post in a couple of days.

We had 3 bust outs in week 1, which might be a record if I felt like going back to look it up. But I don't, so we'll assume it is.

The following people must bet this week or they will lose their spot to someone on the waiting list:

BigRedChief
headsnap
patteeu
Sfeihc
Slammer
Sully

PLEASE read the rules here. The number one rule you need to remember is that editing your bets is not allowed and is subject to immediate disqualification.

Remember that you must place a wager in the first two weeks of the season. If you fail to do so, your spot will be given to someone on the waiting list

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

Probably, but...

All bets must be placed by the scheduled kickoff time of each game, not when it actually kicks off. If the time stamp on your post is after the scheduled time, the bet is not accepted. This goes for all games.

BTW, you still have $2000 on the Donks +150 ML tonight.

Yeah, I was counting on the $2000 on the Donks.

That may be a blessing in disguise that my bet was invalid. It likely saved me for another week.

Sorry about my serial fail and any extra effort it caused you.

Not much effort on my part, but it did cost you a $4500 win.

If you are not sure how much you have, just state "$5,000 or all in if I have less than that left" and then you are good.

To be honest, I forgot that $5000 was the limit and thought it was $10,000 for some reason. I learned the lesson the hard way. IIRC, I made the same mistake last year, though, so maybe I'm a slow learner. Good tip though.
