🏈 Sportsbook for 2015 / 2016

[TerryP]

Opening lines for week one are coming out from a lot of different place right now. I'm going to be setting up the Sportsbook for the fall over the next few days.

FWIW, a small change from last season.

During the season member were awarded the Bama Bucks for participation. I'll be turning that function off in the next few days. Everyone will start with the same amount of money. If you lose it, you've lost it.

I'll be setting the accounts up within the next few days.

Prop bets for the 2016 season will be capped for total amount wagered.

We'll start with the O/U's on the season. I'll put up the weekly lines in the next week or so.

HOW TO FOR PROP BETS AND FIRST TIMERS:

In this first image you'll see the location of the SportsBook with the yellow icon indicating there's one event that is open. That will remain until you either wager on the event, or click mark events viewed. (You won't see Bookie CP, of course. )




This next part is pretty simple.

For the Over/Under on total wins for Bama this regular season you'll see Over 9.5 and Under 9.5.

Highlighted on the right side is where click to place your wager.

Highlighted on the left is what that event will pay depending on your choice. As example, if you choose Over 9.5 a wager of $145 will pay $100.

There is a maximum amount of bets on the Prop Bets (1) and a maximum amount of money (in the Over of 9.5 it's set at ($145)

If there are any questions...now is the time to weigh in.

I'll keep this thread updated as all of this is set up for the fall. I'm guessing I'll have done, through week one, by Tuesday of next week.

The "hopefully" below:

I can add the total of the Bama Bucks in there but...gotta change it in the template and that's one of those coding things. May be a bit before it shows up there.

For now, and if you didn't know...see pic #2

OH, at some point I'm going to do something with the Trophy system...just a fwiw. And by do something I mean make it disappear.

One more shortcut here if you've missed it.

The "Thread Preview" works there just like it does here. So, if you're wanting to see which games have value you don't have to click each individual game. Just hover your cursor...

 

[TerryP]

These money lines very well may change before the season starts. If so, they'll change here as well.

All wagers recorded remain at the line they were placed.

Just something to chew on since we're 70+ days away.

I will probably win all the money in the world.

Were you even in the top 10 last season?

Wow! This means the college football season is officially underway. Cant wait until that first kickoff but I know I have to wait. Thanks @TerryP this is exciting.

Don't disparage me

@252BAMA is looking to repeat as the champ!

 

[18Champs]

I see the prop bets are up and see a few from the first week of the fall...when do you expect to have the rest of the games posted?

I didn't play this much last year so I don't know the answer to this question. If the line changes after I place my wager what line am I betting on?

 

[the Bookie]

Over the next 48 hours the lines will be updated.
