Okay Greg I have an offer for you. I'm trying to keep this VERY SIMPLE. Rules >>> We can bet on either pro or college (or mix it up). With the line and/or totals betting. (that means the over/unders). Starting bets CAN be on 8/30. No pre-season or post season bets. This means bowl games/playoffs. 25 bets MUST be made. No less and NO MORE than 25. You can bet spreading it out or near the end of the season, whatever but *25* exactly. No vig, no dollar units. Just the BEST of 25. For example you might finish 15-10 OR 11-13-1. Try and place bet(s) kind of early. Not 5 minutes before kickoff. You can drop a bet (due to injury etc) but again, try and do it somewhat early. Lines will ONLY come from >> nolinks://nolinks.vegasinsider.com/ (nolinks://nolinks.vegasinsider.com/) This is for fun of course. Ken
Hi Ken,
Can I play also with you ? It will be fun because I dont know anything about us football ( I am from czech rep.)
But may be I will win in the end. ;D
I'd be game to enter as well, if you're willing to take on more challengers.
Matt
Id like to join too, I wouldnt be any competition for you guys, since I don't follow football at all, but it would be nice to get some competition in this part of forum too and rise interest in this maybe.
Also, we could do basketball and hockey too when season starts if you up for it :)
Yes, the more the better. I picked 25 bets (not necessarily 25 games) cause its easier betting with a fake pot PLUS keeping track of the vig etc. Good luck to all who play. The rules are above, I think I covered everything. The best record of 25 total bets. Ken

Cool Ken, Thanks. Do have a couple questions though (gee... sounding a little like Sam now...)
1 - the odds must come into play somehow right? Cause really if it's just who can pick 25 winners then that's much easiers (see - Patriots last year). So I'm assuming that the odds come into play... so by picking the winning longshot pays off instead of hugging the line.
2 - if odds are part of this challenge, then how much are we allowed to bet? I would think that since it's a fun challenge, just betting 1$ or 10$ would work, since it's easier to do the math with the odds.
Either way, I'm in ;)
Cheers,
Matt
Hey matty, if we are going with under/over picks, then odds don't matter, since they are fixed at around @1.90 euro or -110 @ american odds. Correct me if im wrong, I haven't used american odds in long time.
Basically, that means that whoever has best ratio wins most cash (or loses less), so is automatically winner.
What is the final end date of this challenge. All for fun, but I need to know the end date of what sport and I'll give you my ok or no.
P.S.
How about the end date is Dec 25, 2008
How about Dec 28 because that is a Sunday. All 25 bets must be done by that date. Read rules carefully, I'm not so sure you did? Ken
"then how much are we allowed to bet?" --- You won't be betting any amount of money. Choose (if interested) a team getting points or giving points OR an over or under. nolinks://nolinks.vegasinsider.com/ (nolinks://nolinks.vegasinsider.com/) Ken
"@1.90 euro or -110 @ american odds. Correct me if im wrong, I haven't used american odds in long time." --- That won't mean a thing. The best *SPREAD RECORD* (no money) at the end of their 25 bets. Very easy to participate. Ken
Hello Mr J,
Piontspreads will come from covers.com for both of us. Ok
@All -- I looked at the sites. The one we will use is nolinks://nolinks.vegasinsider.com/ (nolinks://nolinks.vegasinsider.com/) >>>> It is by FAR the easiest to understand. There are multiple lines on the site (gee, this is a pain in the ass). Look at >>> *LV Hilton* This will be OUR LINES for betting. Ken
Okay, I think all is set. My FIRST bet kicks off tomorrow. I'm taking Virginia Tech -9.5 (vs East Carolina). Ken
Cool, thanks Ken. Sorry for the mix up. I understand exactly what you are saying (my bad). I won't be betting much on college, mostly the NFL.
Cheers,
Matt
Sounds good Matt, should be fun! Ken
Hi there,

New York-A - Miami +3
+16,5 Kansas City - New England
Jacksonville - Tennessee +3
-3 Detroit - Atlanta
Seattle - Buffalo pk
Tampa Bay -New Orleans –3
+7 St. Louis - Phila.
Dallas - Cleveland +4,5
+9,5 Carolina - San Diego
Arizona - San Fran. +3

Okay thanks! If you can, post those bets on the other thread I started. THANKS!! Ken
Hello!
I will let you know by the 5th. I just have alot of stuff going on right now! E-mail me Ken and we can talk about the rules and what you are looking for. I will let you know!
Okay no problem. I posted the rules. Any questions? Ken
Hello Ken,
All you are saying is that we are going to pick 25 games and that's it, correct? With point spread and a deadline as well? I'll let you know!
Technically 25 bets, not 25 games. The exact rules are stated in MY other thread I started. I also have a little something going on the "pit" section, you'll love that. I'm sure you are a good guy Greg but you mislead people, period. The web site is posted for lines, you can spread out your 25 bets over time etc. I'm already 0-1, so that sucks. Ken
