2024 Gambling Challenge - Super Bowl
 

The betting windows are open for Super Bowl wagering!

I am going to allow bets to be submitted via PM, but it is not a requirement. Any bets submitted to me via PM will be posted here shortly after kickoff.

Regarding Super Bowl Wagering: As in previous years, I have added some prop bets for the Super Bowl to make things a little more interesting. These will be; 1st Half spread, 1st Half Money Line, 1st Half Over/Under, First Team to Score and Last Team to Score.

The 1st Half Spread and Over/Under will be bet like normal bets, the 1st Half Money Line and First/Last Team to Score will be bet like a money line bet. As all other bets go, the Min/Max on these is $500/$5,000 (unless you are all-in)

And for fun, I'm adding even more prop bets. These are just for fun and will have a min/max of $100/$100

Any bets entered with the wrong line or wrong teams, or posted after the scheduled kickoff time (5:30 PM CST) will be void!


PLEASE read the rules here.
The number one rule you need to remember is that editing your bets is not allowed and is subject to immediate disqualification.

Remember that you must place a wager every 3 weeks at minimum. If you go without betting for 3 consecutive weeks, you will be disqualified.

The following people must bet this week or be disqualified for violating this rule.

Nobody

Discuss Thrower was disqualified last week for violating this rule.

Above all else, lets have some fun!

How to read the lines

Sample line

Thu 9/6 New Orleans Saints +6 +223 OVER 52.5
(Date, VISITING TEAM: Point Spread, Money Line, Over/Under)
7:30 PM Indianapolis Colts -6 -243 UNDER 52.5
(Time, HOME TEAM: Point Spread, Money Line, Over/Under)

How to bet the Money Line

Sample line
SAINTS +223
COLTS -243

First off, a money bet is a straight up win/lose bet. No points involved, so of course there are odds payoffs.

If you want to bet on the Saints, you will win $223 for every $100 that you bet. Conversely, for the Colts, you will win $100 for every $243 that you bet.

In other words, the team with the - money line is the favorite (therefore lower payout) and the team with the + is the under dog.

Placing Bets

PLEASE, format your bets like this:

Colts (-6) $5000
Chiefs (+142 money) $1000
Chiefs/Texans (Under 38) $2000

Current Standings

Super Bowl Lines
GOOD LUCK!

PHI (-0.5) 1st half $5,000
PHI (-110) 1st half $5,000

KC (-1) game $5,000
KC (-115) game $5,000

Chiefs (-115 ML) $2000

You think your $9000 lead is going to hold up with that bet? You play to win the game!

Those bottom bets can only be $100.00? Why so low?

Dont understand this one.
1st Half
Sun 2/9 Kansas City Chiefs +½ +100 Over 23½
5:30 PM Philadelphia Eagles -½ -110 Under 23½

What does over/under 23.5 mean? over/under what?

Over 23 1/2 first half total points

Because they are just for fun. If you weren't busting out early every year, you would know that.

Those are for the totals at halftime.

Chiefs (-1) $5,000
Chiefs (-115 ML) $5,000
Chiefs/Eagles (Over 48) $5,000

1st Half
Chiefs (+½) $5,000
Chiefs (+100 ML) $5,000
Chiefs/Eagles (Over 23½) $2,305 All-in

I agree. Never made it this far. A new experience for me.

Sorry for another noob question

Chiefs +1/2 $5000 means the Chiefs lead at the half?

Chiefs (-115 ML) $2000

It's like any other spread. Chiefs are a + so any lead at half, you win. If it's tied, you win. Not likely to happen, but if the Chiefs trail at half, you lose.

Chiefs (-1) $5000
Chiefs (-115) $5000
Chiefs/Eagles (over 48) $5000
Eagles first to score (-105) $5000
Chiefs last to score (-120) $5000

Thanks for doing this again Dart.
