Welcome to the 2nd season of the Dingleberry Casino. Last year started out as a pretty simple betting game and grew quickly into something bigger. Many of the rules last year were created on the fly partly out of necessity and partly because I have a habit of being a bit whimsical at times. My plan this year is to stick with what seems to have already worked out as a fun competition and a great diversion for true football fans.

Do NOT expect any mercy loans, amnesty contests, or any other bleeding-heart programs that I offered last year. Once you are out, you are out. If you want to be around for playoff betting, have some self-control and resist the urge to go all in. Betting no more than 20% of your current bankroll is a good strategy that worked well for many last year.

Welcome back to the many of you who played last year. And a final congratulations to our inaugural champion, Pat the Pats Fan. Well done, but you are now officially a former champion! Thank you and welcome to those of you who are new. I hope you have a lot of fun and this adds to your enjoyment of the upcoming NFL season.

Because this is Week 1, there will be A LOT to read on this first post. This is a one-time necessity to go over the rules and explain all the betting options. Below, you will find the Week 1 betting lines, the rules of the game, and your starting bankrolls. Some are starting with more than 200k due to a rollover of bonus money from last season. The second post in this thread will have a betting tutorial. It may be old information for some of our veteran bettors, but it should explain all aspects of betting. PLEASE ask if you are unsure though! There are many here other than myself who can answer any questions.

This will be the thread to make your Week 1 bets. Please read the rules below. The Week 1 results thread will be up next Tuesday along with updated rankings. Bet away. Questions and commentary are always welcome in the thread as well. Have fun.

All 2K bets
 
Patriots Dog Money Line $10000
Raiders Dog Money Line $5000
Cardinals Dog Money Line $5000

Am I suppose to send this in a PM? Never had a PM before. This is $20000 (10%) and I think I picked undergods :).

Nope, you are good posting all bets here.

If you make any more bets or change any bets before kickoffs, just reply to your own betting post.

I like the chances for all 3 of those dogs to win outright.
 
@Dingleberry Is it too late to get in on this?

I am supposed to say no because sign ups already ended last week. However, since the enforcer @venecol has yet to check in, I am going to say welcome aboard!

Go read the Prop Bet thread. Make your picks according to the rules in that thread, and I will have your 200k waiting for you in this thread.

Have fun!

I am new to betting at the Dingleberry Casino (I hear it can get ruthless), and have never bet anywhere else. Knowing that, how does 5 bets at $2000 each add up to a $20,000 minimum?

I still have before Thursday.

You can add more bets throughout

You actually have until Monday evening if you bet that night's game. As long as it is before kickoff.

You are not doing the ruthless thing correctly. What you should have done was wait until Monday night then point out the math issue and demand I penalize him the 10k!

I LOVE the attempt to go after a competitor though. We will have to keep an eye on @ArchAngel007 now. I have to wonder what he got away with last year.

Unfortunately I have been fecking everything up all my life (just ask my ex). Looks like my betting career will be no different.

BTW My father, God rest his soul, always said, "One-If-By-Sea (you probably thought that was a screen name), gambling is for people who don't understand math."

Everybody with an ex has been told they are a feck up. But my ex is a whore, so what does she know?

I like your first bets. Definitely keep an eye on what and how others bet each week. Lots of different betting styles. And really, as long as this gives you something else to enjoy about each NFL week, then it's a success.

Your father was wise!
