Reset it please. If its a pain, I can just create a new username. Or if people will be upset about you resetting my total we can just leave it.

I will later on this afternoon ... give me a few hours. I think I'll have to adjust the bet you have on the O/U win total when the event is settled.

IF someone can take $500 and in 13 games have the largest balance ... they deserve to win. However, I can't see that happening. They'd literally have to bet their entire balance each week and be right each week.

500 - 1000
1000 - 2000
2000 - 4000
4000 - 8000
8000 - 16,000
16,000 - 32,000

So, if they were right for seven games in a row they'd be sitting on a balance of 64, 000. By week eight. You have to figure they'd lose the entire 50K in week one and start with 500 in week two.

Mathematically, it just doesn't seem possible to me. More like impossible.

@252BAMA won it last year pulling in over 126K on the prop bets for the playoff...one week there. I think his year end balance was well over 1 million. Under the old software (before this Sportsbook was released/launched) @TheChief had well over a million (something you probably know since he's bitched about it s:notall: :devil: )

@tidentrue had some money that disappeared too :

This is gonna be fun. Not sure how much I'll need to bet each week in order to keep up. Just gonna wing it.

@planomateo

Everyone did. When this Sportsbook was installed and launched the banking system was changed.

Pretty much my strategy as well

If you mentioned it already I apologize, Terry, but the lines in the Sportsbook will be adjusted as the Vegas line moves up or down.

A fairly likely possibility is that as we get into game week, bettors on the Alabama v. Wisconsin game will bet enough on Alabama to move the line up from its current 10.5. If you have analyzed the game and already like the Badgers -10.5, you might still want to wait until near game time to place your wager so as to get the most points. (Not that I expect a lot of action on the Badgers from this group, just an example). The software will let you place a wager until very near kickoff.

@RhinoGuy You're set.

Just a reminder ... Sportsbook is open for 2015
