Sportsbook 2025 Sportsbook: Week 1 is Open - (New Props Added: Sat 9/6 2:24pm ET)

[Ian]

This is open:

2025 PatsFans Sportsbook

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

There will be custom parlays coming where you'll be able to choose your own bets to group together for a higher payout. I set it up a few months ago and noticed some glitches this morning that I have to fix. I'm also still working on setting up the ability to opt in/out on the slideout menu, but I'll have to get that completed tomorrow.

For now, everyone has 850,000 coins again to begin the season. For those who have been curious about this part of the sports world and - like me - have no desire to gamble your actual hard-earned money, this is a fun way to do it without risking anything other than virtual coins. If you end up empty, you get 100,000 per week through the remainder of the season. Way more fun than worrying about losing real money, and we had a good time with it last year.

For anyone who wants to take part in a season-long contest, all you have to do is wager at least 50,000 coins per week. That will keep you involved in the main weekly contest leaderboard. Otherwise, there's a second weekly results board that will be available so you can see how you fared against everyone else, see which wagers hit, etc.

For now, I've only entered this week's odds and a handful of prop bets for Thurs+Fri, but I have to run out and will try to add more in the next day or two.

Obviously, let me know if you run into any issues and looking forward to what will hopefully be another fun year.

A quick bump on this. Having an issue with the icons on the navbar, so the ability to see active wagers and such (outside of the page itself) will be available once I get that corrected.

 

[Ian]

Another bump. More player props are coming this afternoon, and I'll get the navbar notification/link sorted as well.

Noticed there was a glitch on this. It's been fixed.

Should I be seeing something else?

Yes, open up the menu (click on the button on the top left of the navbar) and scroll down:



You'll need to check that box in order to enable it.

Got it...thank you

Got it...thank you

No worries. Some of the changes I made to update this were done after there was already a week in the books last season. That's what's thrown off things a bit, but I think we're good.

Is the leaderboard for deciding the champion still going to be based on regular season?
The first post in the instructions has a typo, it says "$50, 0000" (one extra zero).
Also, if someone busts out and gets free $100,000, can they still qualify to be champion? If so, do they have to repay the $1000, 000 loan? (just curious how aggressive I can be early on).

If you bust, you're out of the season contest, but the 100,000 coins will kick in, which they don't need to be repaid. It's just a way for the people who run out of coins to still be able to use the Sportsbook through the end of the season. And if you bust again, you'll still get another 100,000 ahead of each week.

We had someone it happened to last year, and they just swung for the fences each week at one point. It was actually fun to watch that one play out each week, and I think it worked out pretty well on a couple of different wagers if I recall correctly.

I'm not really good at these type of contests. But I'm wondering about the coins...are they good at places such as Spa's / Massage Parlors...let's say in South Florida? Asking for a friend. Thank you.

The results page is incorrect for my two bets from Thursday and Friday night. Not sure if others are seeing inaccurate tallies. I should be around +$56K. Must be a glitch.

I took another look, you did win both, but both wagers had negative odds. The winnings shown on the betslip are your winnings+your bet(s) back, but the green totals on the results page are your NET winnings.

The bet amounts (+ your winnings) both go back to you when I flip it over to the new week, but I don't include the wagers in the amount you won, since the NET is the amount that boosts your balance, if that makes sense?

To clarify a little further, you're at 30000 (Wagers)+28139 (NET Winnings) = 58139 so far this week, which will be going back into your Available Coin Balance (which should show all the deductions from just your wagers) when the week flips. The winnings/losses don't get added/deducted until the week closes.

Additionally, the above does not include the remaining pending bets. Just the games that have been completed so far.

Okay, got it.
So, everything is working fine. Glad to hear it wasn't a glitch for your sake. Thanks for the detailed response.
