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

[Brick27]

Alright I’ve had some loud mouth soup tonight so bear with me. Is this different than the week 1 thread that asked various questions about the Pats game? I don’t recall wagering a bet though. Filled out that last week but this is saying I didn’t opt in

Finally got done tweaking this.

Updated results following Thursday night:

There are many of you who have additional wagers in and the additional names aren't reflected due to how this is set up. With the "Total Wagered Amount" now included on the betslip, this just shows results from people who placed wagers on completed games. Cleans things up a bit.

Also @borg, I've added in a temporary link to toggle between the main/props pages. So that's now available.

Obviously, any other questions, let me know.

This is a different thread - it's regarding the sportsbook that I put together:

2025 PatsFans Sportsbook

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

If you open up the slideout menu to the left (this is only when you're on the forum itself), toggle this to "Playing" if you want to play:

A small addition, I just added the opponents to the Prop page. Makes it a little easier to try and make a guess when you at least know who they're facing.

i bet heavy this week before the prop bets were available... think next week will start balancing it out with some prop bets... but man, those are so hard to predict... don't wanna lose all my Iansheckles..

Yes, also had an issue this morning where I noticed it didn't tally all the props. I fixed that. The spread thing was corrected earlier in the week but I apparently didn't apply the change (#Fail), but I went through and applied it and all the totals should be there and should be correct.

I also went back and retallied all the week one results, which should also be accurate.

Again, definitely let me know if anyone spots anything. That will allow me to get them fixed, and once they are - they'll obviously be good forever moving forward. Appreciate @borg for giving me the heads up on this

Small change: current results page also shows the Wagered amount as including the total wagers for the week - not just the completed games - to make it easier to see. This, in addition to the bottom of the betslip, now allows you to see your full amount for the week.

@Ian

The house was up $236,274 this week. The house always wins.

Lol, I think I’m down 27,000+ this week, so I’ve also made my contribution to the total.

I base the odds/spreads with ours off the other ones out there. I don’t fully understand it, but it certainly explains why they’re all multi billion dollar companies.

Separate contest page is coming. Again, it's 50,000 min wager per week to play the season contest, and this week is the last week to get in for that. There's about a dozen of us so far, so feel free to bump your wagers up this week if you want to play.

However, anyone can obviously play anytime just for fun. You can bet 1 coin, or as many coins as you want to get a feel for how this whole thing works. I've never done it before this year and it's certainly more fun losing virtual coins than real $$ - which has definitely been the case for me so far.
