Warrior General Games

I am interested in making a "betting league". It would be just for fun for pride.

Here is the basics on how it would work. Suppose 16 people sign up. Each person is assigned 1 week where they are the handicapper. They make lines on every game. After the lines are set, everyone can place bets up to a certain amount on any number of games. We keep score, and deduct or add points based on how you did.

Anyone interested?

I'm not counting any chickens there. We'll be lucky to win next game.

I am interested.

So far I have:

TomCollins
SAVAGE OPS
hickster97200
logicbomb
Meech
mykez23

Let's get some more people!

Sounds like fun count me in

Season 3 is coming near. I'd like to get at least 3 more people in on this!

Count me in.

Guess this isnt happening?

Oops. Sorry guys! Since there were 6 interested, let's start it up week 5. That will give everyone 2 chances at being the bookmaker, and we'll have 4 games to see how everyone is playing.

I'll set a practice round for week 3 just so you'll see how it works.

Rules:

1) Lines must be set 2 days before the game. For example, all week 2 oddsmakers picks would need to be done by end of day 6/13. DO NOT EDIT YOUR GAMES AFTER THIS DAY. You can edit your lines.
2) All picks must be made BEFORE 11:00 AM EDT. I will look at the timestamp of your posts. DO NOT EDIT YOUR PICKS AFTER THIS TIME! You can edit your picks before 11:00AM EDT. Do not make any picks until the oddsmaker cannot change his picks (Day before the game).
3) Oddsmaker- Set a line in each game by stating "Dallas -5" or "SNK +5.5". Be sure to include the opponents first. See my example.
4) Bettors - Make your pick by stating the line again. You have up to 20 units to bet each week. You can put all 20 units on one team to cover the spread.
5) We keep score on units won or lost each week. An oddsmaker can win or lose 100 points per week he is the oddsmaker, and each bettor can win or lose up to 20 points. Everyone starts with 0 points.

I'll divide it up.
Oddsmaker:

Week 5) hickster97200
Week 6) SAVAGE OPS
Week 7) logicbomb
Week 8) TomCollins
Week 9) Meech
Week 10) mykez23
Week 11) TomCollins
Week 12) mykez23
Week 13) Meech
Week 14) SAVAGE OPS
Week 15) logicbomb
Week 16) hickster97200

All positions were chosen randomly.

Post any questions here. I'll make a new thread with a practice round for next weeks games.

I dont think we should be able to bet on our own games.
