For those who remember zilla running this last season, he don't have the motivation this season. So for those interested in playing i'm taking it over with his assistance I hope......
ALL BETS ARE FOR FUN, NO REAL MONEY IS INVOLVED!!!
For those who don’t know how it works, I’ll try to explain it the best I can. Bookies don’t care what NFL team wins in a particular game. They want 50% of the gamblers money on one team and the other 50% on the other team. Bookies make their money 10% off the gamblers that lose. When the bets start favoring one side, the line will move in attempt to keep the money 50-50 for both teams.
Example:
Two players bet on the same game, but pick opposite of each other. Say both players bet $110 to win $100. The Bookie is now holding $220 the Bookies don't care what players win because he knows that he only has to pay out $210 to the winner. Seems small, but when thousands of dollars are bet on a game 10% adds up! I’m not sure if Bookie percentages have changed over the years, but for easy math we will stick with the 10%
BTW…A push is a push and the player gets all of his/her money back, neither the bookie nor the player wins.
You can bet zero to 3 games, no penalty for missing a week.
To make math easy for me, all bets must be made in any of the following amounts…
$11, $22, $33, $44, $55, $66, $77, $88, $99
You can’t bet over a total of $100 per week unless you have more than $100 in your account. Right now everyone’s account is zero.
($11 to win $10) ($22 – $20) ($33 – $30) ($44 - $40) ($55 - $50) ($66 – 60) ($77 – $70) ($88 - $80) ($99 - $90)
Make picks like this…
Example:
TB –1 ($11)
DET +2 ($55)
Total Wager $66
The pool will close at the start of the early games on Sunday.
