🏈 The Sportsbook is now open for PICK 'EM — 2014

[TerryP]

I would say "I wish you the best of luck," but that really wouldn't be serious. Considering I'm betting against @the Bookie just like you are I hope your luck runs well, just not as well as mine.

There will be a thread up each week announcing when the picks are available.

A new addition this season is an alert you'll see in the navbar at the top of the screen. As of this moment, there has been 10 events added. Once you've reviewed those events, or placed your wagers, the alert balloon will disappear.

During the week (or this next four weeks for week one) if there's a change in the odds on one game you'll receive and alert on the line movement as well.

After clicking on the Sportsbook tab in the navbar, you'll see what's pictured at the bottom of this post.

Of note:

• You'll notice a few other additions this season: Odds update, Top Action, Handle, and Paid Out.
• If you hover your cursor over the game you'll get a quick preview of the current lines.
• In the right column you'll see Recent Winners (ignore me, my cash has been reset) and after week one is concluded Richest Members.

This really looks good, Terry. I know it took a lot of work, and I want to say thanks. This should be a lot of fun.

It's about like the garden, H. A lot to get it to where it is, and still things to do...but, it was fun.

I noticed @Hardkore took the money line and picked LSU straight up to win. I'm leaning pretty strongly towards that choice as well.

Any plans for a casino?

Any plans for a casino?

Until you asked, I don't think I've even thought about a casino.

I briefly looked and there's interest within the xF community in it being developed. It's certainly labor intensive on the developer and that doesn't include what it would take to get it integrated here. Hell, I started putting in icons for user options about the three weeks ago and still haven't finished those template changes on all the forums and their unique styles (granted, I've been doing that when I needed a break from the Sportsbook.)

I certainly will keep an eye out.

you will get reimbursed at the odds at the time of wager, correct? so a bet on Bama against WV of $6,000 would return $6,100 for a net of $100?
