Post by degenerasian »

To start:

Objective: whoever has the most money at the end of the season wins. You can enter at anytime.

1. You have $1000 swamp bucks in your account.
2. You can make any 3 pre-season (outright) bets before kickoff 3:00pm Eastern Aug 10
2a at each mid-month, you can make 1 additional outright bet with updated odds
3. you can make 1 bet on each match day. Bets must be made before kickoff of each match
4. my odds will come from bet365.com but if you can find a better one, we'll go with that.

To ask a really dumb question - "Match Day" refers to the whole slate of games, on not a particular date (so I couldn't make a bet on the 11th and the 12th...)

And this looks like it's going to be a riot.

That's right. You can only make 1 bet on the whole slate of matches listed under Match Day 1.

As the schedule is laid out right now, there are 38 match days of 10 matches each.
But as we go, matches will get postponed or bumped for various reasons, those matches will not be available for betting or else it would mess things up.

Considering Jose doesn't play for the win, you're gonna be out of money after 20 weeks.

Bzzzzt. Both games are in Match Day 1, and you can only pick one game per match day. See Pruitt's earlier question for clarification.

I also want to put $200 down on Zinedine Zidane being the next Man U manager. Obviously, this bet is a loser if Jose stays all season. Current odds are 11/4 for Zidane based on this link: http://www.thesackrace.com/teams/manchester-united

One correction for the spreadsheet. I bet $200 on Jose being replaced by Zidane, not $50.
