Sports Betting Game - Page 18

WTF? You intentionally make the spreads easy? Then what the *bleep* is the point of the game?

You want it to be challenging, and for there to be constant up/down weeks for people.

K, making this post letting everyone know I didn't forget about this week.




Spreads are on their way up now, and will be edited into this post.

Also, I chose against eliminating MJ12 and Staples. Even though they're past the 3 strike limit, this is the last week, and MJ is in 4th place, and still has a marginal chance.



And I've decided to make the game a little more fair for this week. I'll bet $750 of my money this week, leaving me with $410 in the case that I lose it all, so I'll still have a chance if that situation does occur.


$125 Spurs
$125 Cavs
$125 Indians
$125 Cubs
$125 Brewers
$125 Ducks

Not really making much of a move there, Infinite, considering how you bet on every team I bet on.

Cubs $50
Jazz $50
Pistons $100
Mets $100

I'll do some simple math here. Infinite's big bets were the same as mine for basketball. He netted a $0 profit for the basketball, making the $20 he spent on baseball irrelevant.


I broke even in basketball too, but because the Ducks won, I could have lost all three baseball games and it wouldn't have mattered because of my lead. Boss was already mathematically eliminated before the round. And the only other person who bet was static, who lost $400 right off the bat on basketball.



The end of this game turned out to be a bit of a flop, but I'm not going to give up. Badb0i, I'll be setting up a thread for the next round sometime today or later this week, so you can shut this one down. Hopefully we'll have a bit better of a turnout in the next game.
