***Dingleberry Casino*** Week 2 Results

[Dingleberry]

Below are the current rankings after Week 2 betting. If you notice the wide array of plus and minus results, you should also notice how quickly things can change. We have 19 more weeks of this before we crown a champion. Just a reminder, you will not earn any of your preseason prop bets or qualify for playoff betting if you go bankrupt during the regular season. Stay alive and keep chipping away.

A reminder for betting to make my life a little easier:
* Bets only in $1k increments
* Maximum single bet is $50k
* Maximum of 8 bets per week
* Make clear, easy to understand bets
* Do not ever edit you posts. If you make a change or add more bets, please quote your most recent betting post.

Thank you, all.

We had 11 people pick up an extra $10k by picking the Jets/Cowboys as the lowest scoring game. Expect another Free Bet contest this week. Week 3 Betting will be up no later than Thursday morning.

The important thing is to stay humble

 

[Chevy]

I guess, since I am only +15k for the week, I am a more junior pimp

 

[Dingleberry]

+40k for the week. Big **** pimp here.

Why, I couldn’t be this bad, this is impossible , have you used a calculator???
Now I would like to sniff a line from Miami to Jacksonville to forget this

I'm blaming my high level of suck on the fact I can't do 3-team 10 point teasers at -120. It's my bread and butter

I fell well below 100k last season and still came back to finish Top 5 with a shot at #1 in the last week of betting.

Still way way early.

I see @venecol explained that a teaser push is a loss in the other thread. He knows the rules better than I do. And @Jlaff dug into the rulebook as well! Let me explain why teaser pushes are considered a loss...

In the real world, some casinos allow for a push on teasers. However, their payoff odds reflect that. Because I hate complex math (anything not a round number), I set the teaser odds at +100, +200, and +300. In the real world, those numbers would be around -110, +190, +285. Rounding up gives too much advantage to teasers in our game. Making pushes a loss, evens things up. A casino with those rules would have odds much closer to the 100/200/300 that I have. Even so, it's still good odds.

Even our straight bets, which are all +100, are still a good deal. You'd never get +100 on those bets in the real world either. They would be somewhere between -110 and -120 generally.

I spent my life studying English and language for a reason. I HATE MATH!

Anyway, that is the explanation for the teaser/push rule.

I hated that the bet lost on the push. You'll have a good week coming up. Just don't try to win it all back in one week!!!
