If USAPL were to run something similar to the above (only perhaps slightly different, and running all season) would there be interest?

sure

If someone wants to put it together and keep it going I'd probably take part.

cpl did it a couple seasons ago tbh.

Didn't know that tbh.

Abstract Actuary did a GREAT job with it last season (he might have done it in CPL back in the day also, but I dunno).... was definitely a fun concept and well-run.

Given how boring/awful most of the things on the forums are these days, it was nice that something was well-done and enjoyable for all I think...

The ideas we are discussing are slightly different, but definitely borrow a bit from what he did last season in WL.

I can dig it.

I think it'd be pretty awesome tbh. I'd gamble my life away imo .

Stobie did it for CPL a couple seasons ago. He used the old CPL power ranking formula, which starts based entirely off of levels, and then takes into account results as teh season progresses. That old formula would always end up very accurate about half way through the season, but was way off early in the season. For some reason stobie refused to carry adjustments over from one season to the next, so people cashed in big time early in the season, and it made the game pretty lame. Stobie also allowed unlimited re-buys, and let people put together ridiculously big parlay's, so it wasn't much like real betting. Was more like centsports betting.

Yeah, i agree Abstract did an absurdly good job with it in WL last season. His spread in the championship game was a half point off of the final score. Very impressive. One thing stobie did that you guys should copy, is not accept bets on every game. He just took the 5 or so most competitive games each week and offered lines on those.

Yup.

Thank Gart... input's much appreciated.

And yeah, it was crazy how well Abstract did with the spread on the title game... certainly ours won't approach that, but they will move to entice action on both sides if all goes as planned...

Sounds like fun

I might throw in.

I'd be the fish, though.
