The betting windows are open for Super Bowl wagering!
I am going to allow bets to be submitted via PM, but it is not a requirement. Any bets submitted to me via PM will be posted here shortly after kickoff.
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)
And because our Chiefs are in the Super Bowl for the first time in 50 years, I'm adding even more prop bets. These are just for fun and will have a min/max of $100/$100
Any bets entered with the wrong line or wrong teams, or posted after the scheduled kickoff time (5:30 PM CST) will be void!
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 every 3 weeks at minimum. If you go without betting for 3 consecutive weeks, you will be disqualified.
The following people must bet this week or be disqualified for violating this rule.
NOBODY
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.
I'm not sure with my acadental counter bet an the 49ers I type everything in on word then copy and past befor the game and had the 49ers bets at the end because I thought I might change my mind and made the mastake of coping that one.
If it turns out im gratfull I look forward to this every year ive played I think we have bein doing it for 20 years now.
I'm sure glad Dartgod is willing to do all the hard work big thanks to him.

Can't accept that last bet, I have no idea which of those lines you want.

Thanks, I appreciate it. This contest has ran every year of CP's existence and I've been doing it for the last 15.
That said, I've been considering calling it quits. It's a lot of work, especially early in the season when a majority of the people are still in it. I'd like to see someone take it over and keep it running for the next 15+ years. I'd be happy to hand over the spreadsheet I use and would be available to train how to use it.

Thanks UT. Kinda hate to have won it that way. You killed it the last two games.

Congrats!
Thank you for all the work you put in on this. This was a blast for me, and of course made me want to start actually gambling.

Is anyone interested in taking over?
I know I'm new here but I love numbers and am decent with a spreadsheet and would be willing to do it.
