i see a lot of teams, what on earth is the format?

the first team is the visitor, the second bolded team is home

Northwestern -4.5
MIAMI (OH)

the + or - number indicates the spread. if it is negative, you have to win by more than the number of points (in order for NW to win the bet, they have to win by 5 points), if they don't the other team wins. this is also known as "giving points".

why are their odds?

some events will be harder to pick, so there will be greater odds - examples include "will peterson rush for over 300 yards" or "will beano ban a horn fan this week".

ask questions and i'll answer them (no, i don't know why norm sleeps with a teddy bear).

 

Where do you pull your lines from and if there was a big shift somewhere, would you consider moving the line?

 

i pull them from foxsports when i make the post (normally 3 days before the game). at that point the spread is locked, so i don't account for shifts. thus most of the big money waits until the last possible minute to bet.

 

So what happens for those who lose all of there vCash? Will they be reset to a certain amount?

 

no idear

 

Can we request that certain games be on the betting schedule (such as Nevada-Fresno State, which would have been some easy vMoney for me)?

 

anything, grand moff flak

 

it looks like it resets at 200 based on who bet 500 on the isu game.

 

If we bet on the Friday game(s), assuming there is such, will we have a chance to play those winnings on Saturday?

 

yeah, i'll get the games up shortly. i'll close them at 8 AM pacific tomorrow morning. the ou bets will close at noon pacific.

 

a bunch of us lost our butts and it hasnt reset yet .
Why cant i panhandle some from folks who have, but dont use ?

 

Bet more wisely, Olevton-san.

 

Obviously I haven't messed with jkm's system much, although I added a few over/under bets. So for those, you're betting on whether the total points scored by BOTH teams in a game will add up to more or less than the number I put up.

 

Oh, and just so's everyone knows: if a bet turns out to be a push - for example, the point spread is Oklahoma (-50) and we win by EXACTLY 50 - I'll declare everyone that bet on either side of that game a winner.

 

For the record. Every time a new vBookie event is posted, anyone with a balance of 0 gets reset to 200 vCash.

 

so that means if you're under 200, you ought to bet it all so it'll be reset to higher, right?

 

Maybe.

 

Can someone explain the 1:6 odds on "the field" in Here........... for me please?

If I bet v100 and "the field" is a winner, what would I make?

 

i think you'd win a great big, shiny 17 vBucks. plus your initial bet.

 

Yes. The 100 that you staked would be returned to you and you would receive your 17 in winnings.

Think of it as a -600 money line.
