2024 Gambling Challenge - Super Bowl - Page 3

**Dartgod** · 02-06-2025, 09:16 PM

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

Not that it matters, but I started with $23,346 and won my first two bets of the game. Then obviously lost $10K on the last two. Should I not have finished somewhere around $22K (accounting for juice)?

$23,346
+$4,545 (ML win)
+$4,500 (line bet win @90%)
-$10,000 (KC lost bets)

$22,391 (finishing amount)

Thanks dartgod for another enjoyable season of this.

Yeah, clearly a mistake. I'll check it out later today.

Thanks for all the hard work on this again Dart, you always do a great job.

No rush....if it wasn't my best finish in your challenge, I wouldn't even ask.

I greatly appreciate you putting this on each year. And if you ever want any help on it, I'm happy to pitch in.

**Renegade** · 02-13-2025, 06:02 PM

Seems like one of the better years as far as finishers.

14 ended with more money than they started with (23.3%)
3 ended with less money than they started with (5%)
43 with no balance (71.6%)

The total field finished with about 75% of what we were all given at the start of the season ($600,000)

So I entered your Eagles 1st half -.5 as -005, so it didn't pay off in my spreadsheet. Your correct total is $22,392.

Thanks Dart!!!

trndobrd · 02-15-2025, 01:05 PM

Out of curiosity, I went back and ran the numbers...

If a participant placed a $5000 ML bet on the Chiefs in every game this season except the week 17 scrimage, making no other bets, the end of season total would have been $37,925.
