If possible, please try to put all your bets in one post rather than posting a couple of bets and then a few minutes later posting another one or two. It just makes it easier on me when entering them into my spreadsheet. I'm only talking about bets that are posted a few minutes apart. All others are ok.
Also, if you are placing multiple bets in one post, please try to enter them in the order that they appear in this post. Again, it just makes it easier on me. Thanks!
The betting windows are open for Week 16 wagering! We have a game Thursday, so I'll post the lines for that now. The rest I will post later.
The following people have not bet in last two weeks and must place a bet this week or they are disqualified.

As a reminder, here is a brief rundown of the rules:
You are given $10,000 to start out and can bet up to $5,000 on any one bet. There is a $500 minimum bet unless you have less than that in which case you would be all in.
Payouts are at 90% unless otherwise stated. –170 would mean you have to bet $170 to win $100. +250 would mean you would get a $250 payout on every $100 bet.
You must bet at least once every 3 weeks or you are eliminated. If you cannot commit to participating at least this much please let us know now so somebody else can take your place.
You must place a wager in the first two weeks of the season, or your spot in the competition will be given to someone on the waiting list. This is ONLY for the beginning of the season. After the first three weeks, inactive spots will not be filled from the waiting list!
Contingency bets are allowed. If you are using contingency bets, please indicate the order of your bets.
There are no parlays.
All bets must be placed before the scheduled opening kickoff of the game.
I will not allow bets to be changed or cancelled once posted. Be sure that you have the correct bet made before hitting the submit button. After that, your only option is to post an offsetting bet which will cost at a minimum, 10% to the house.
Anyone caught editing a bet after posting it will be immediately disqualified! That includes deleting posts. If you made a mistake, quote the post and explain what happened. Chances are I will be lenient.
NEW PLAYERS!! The complete rules list is in this thread. Please read them, or I will make fun of you for asking questions about the rules found in the link.
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.
Merry Christmas Dart i’ve got another 10 to 15 minutes to make my next bet so I’m sorry but I’m gonna be stringing them. I’m very impulsive like that. I’ve done my best up until now to not do that to you but since it’s Christmas Eve merry Christmas my friend.

Do I need to clarify that the all in bet was not a contingency bet based on early games,would have been the balance of my starting total for week($671)?

Well I won the 4000 (got 3600), gave me 10,200 or so. Hence the two $5000 bets, which they both lost, which in turn left me with around 200 for the all in, which was a winner. Bet the next (Patriots) all in, which was a winner, so I put it all (around 400?) on the Chiefs and we all know how that turned out.
At least that's how I played it. And it was over multiple days of last weekend.

Thank you. I didn't get into the figuring what each amount was with my explanation. I had more for that last bet than I thought. lol
