Virtual League Gambling

[Azkatro]

Here's the deal, each week someone posts the TAB Sportsbet odds. We all start with a hundred virtual bucks and have a crack if we want. All bets are shown in here so we can see how everybody's going, and we all go off the betting amounts listed in here.

First of all:
NRL Round 2 Betting
Courtesy Tab Sportsbet

BUL 1.60 WES 2.20
PAR 1.50 NZW 2.45
CRO 1.70 BRI 2.05
NQL 1.36 MAN 2.90
SYD 1.40 MEL 2.75
NEW 1.65 CAN 2.15
STG 1.33 PEN 3.10

Secondly, this is my first go so I've got $100. I'm going to try my hand with the following bets:

$20 on Brisbane
$10 on Melbourne
$10 on Penrith

I reckon if anyone runs out of money they have to start again at $20 and work their way back, so that way nobody just throws $100 each week at the longest odds to get ahead.

Place your bets!

Cool thread Az.

I'm going all out:

$60 on Parramatta
$40 on Penrith (think I will make a fair bit here).

What is everyone else liking? Are we just going to stick to head to head betting, or also have a go at margins, points start etc.?

Maybe make some kind of rule for when people go into debt.... ie a percentage of any winniings gets taken out for x amount of weeks or have some kind of interest etc...

 

[B-dos]

I reeckon if someone has no cash left. they can get another $20 but once they win something, this $20 has to be paid back. Just like any other loan.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

I trust someone is officially keeping score and are players responsible for getting their own odds?

 

[B-dos]

Ill have $50 on

Cowboys into Parra into Dragons into Bulldogs

Div = $4.34

This will probably work the best.

 

[Mr Saab]

i trust we are all given "$100" each week.

What are we going to do with odds. I advise to have the odds kept at what they come out at. So the odds don't change. Or should we have the odds updated when the TAB do so it'll be more realistic.

I've just checked and everyone who has placed a bet so far with a multi is at the correct price (except for me haha).

 

[Freak2]

Opening Balance = $100.00

$33.00 Multi:

West Tigers $2.20
Nth Qld $1.36
Total collect: $98.74

Closing Balance: $67.00

 

[juggalo_strit]

I think we all get $100 to start and thats it. If you run out of money you borrow back off the virtual bank and will have to pay off all debts once you get back into the green.

 

[Mr Saab]

hmmm...good luck to the online "accountant" who is keeping up with all these bets and transactions.

Somebody needs to post the new odds each week, head to head only, and they are the odds that are used regardless of fluctuating prices.

I can be the online accountant. It won't bother me. It won't take that long to do on a Sunday night/Monday morning.
