Site News 2024 PatsFans.com Sportsbook Contest (Props Now Available)

[Ian]

This is more or less done, however, I still need to add in prop bets. Until then, the overall spreads, and other categories for this week's games are available:

2025 PatsFans Sportsbook

2025 PatsFans Sportsbook, where you can make virtual wagers and have fun and play along for free during football season.

www.patsfans.com

You'll need to click this to "Playing" on the slideout navbar as it's turned off by default as I know there are some who aren't interested in anything related to gambling, so I don't want further notifications on here to appear to those who aren't playing. There will be an icon on the navbar that will have notifications of when contests have been updated, etc. and that will be tied into this.

For those wondering, prop bets will probably not be done ahead of the Thurs/Fri night games, but I'll have them ahead of Sunday.

Like the picks contest, this will be a work in progress, but I'll get it buttoned up as we go, and it will evolve and improve. So please feel free to post any feedback here as you test it out. The bets will hover to the right on desktop and will be at the bottom on mobile.

Everyone has been provided with 675,000 coins to start with, with a minimum of a total of 50,000 per week needed to be wagered for the season contest (maximum bet is 75,000). I'll have more on this in a bit in terms of future coins, etc. But I wanted to at least get this up and running for people who have played past games here and would like to do so again this season. Again, special thanks to @Guts, who ran the one last season, and I'm working behind the scenes to hopefully tie everything in with the current picks contest here to make his life easier this year. We'll see how it goes. Otherwise, all of the lines you see are as of two hours ago, and will remain that way through Sunday.

In the meantime, please post any questions/issues here if you guys run into anything. I appreciate it.

The only question is what to call the coins. Everything else is secondary.

Lol, I’m just grateful everything seems to be working. Still have to finish the script that will tally it all, but I’m glad this part is at least working. I’m sure just like with the picks contest there will be some hiccups, but hopefully there won’t be too many

I tried calling that 1-800-GAMBLER "help line" number you have at the bottom of the page, but it is very misleading. They don't help you gamble one bit. In fact, they kind of try to talk you out of it so f them.

Should be called degenerate gambler thread.

Probably trying to keep all the sure bets for themselves. You should probably just keep calling them every day until they give up the goods.

 

[Ian]

Also, this is set up for both a season contest, or for people who just want to test things here and there with one or more scenarios without wagering real money.

You don't have to hit the weekly minimum to play around with it throughout the season, that's only for the contest. You can just try things out and use it as you see fit, whether that means using your coins one week on a game/scenario you like, and then just seeing how it goes, or skipping a week or two.

Rather than use real money on the other platforms, it's just a thing to let people test the waters without any risk, other than using your virtual coins. And I'll be updating it throughout the season and into February, so it will be available for people to have some fun with minus the stress.

Ok I see it now.

Temporary Results Page:

PatsFans.com Weekly Sportsbook Contest Standings - Week 1 Results

www.patsfans.com

This will be updated once I have time to dress it up a bit, which will include the ability to see the individual wager results. Also, this currently shows the total amount people have entered in for the week, not just based on last night. Again, I'll be updating this but wanted to at least make it available so people could see where they are.

I believe the math is correct, but obviously let me know of any issues and I'll try and get to it either later tonight or tomorrow morning.

 

[Ian]

Also, this is the current total for all the current wagers. I'll be separating out the people who qualify for the weekly $50k minimum for the season long contest, and will have another one for people who just want to play around with it.

 

[Ian]

Lastly - your winnings will be added into your balances at the end of each week. Again, just making sure all the math and such is correct, but this will evolve as we get further into the season. I also fixed a glitch in the fields being updatable. For anyone wondering, they do still click once kickoff has started, but they don't change/update anything past the start time.

 

[Ian]

Updated through last night.

 

[Ian]

Quick note - I was alerted that the Jax @ Mia spreads were both +3, which I've corrected and canceled the bets on those.

Tagging those to let them know - as one of you had a massive bet, and I didn't want you to get killed after I updated it.

I apologize, I'll have these heading into Week 2. Had a challenging week this week, and time has gotten away from me a bit, but I've got most of the coding for this done and should hopefully be able to tie it all together over the next couple of days.

And I’ll be adding a page breaking down each entry and the results on a page so that people can see how much they won/lost on each one.
