pastajoe Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Next year YOU run a fantasy gambling contest and YOU put the time and effort into keeping track of it and then YOU can run it any way YOU want to. Okay? If you need help, I'd be willing to keep track of the bets and running totals. I'd probably do it in a spreadsheet. I do it for football pools. You could be responsible for posting the betting lines. Perhaps give everyone who's already missed betting for a week a Mulligan. If they want back in, they need to pay a 100 fine. Then going forward, if someone misses a week, they pay 100 for every game that was played that week. 3 games = paying 300. You're out when you drop below 100, the minimum you need to cover a bet.

Hank Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 I like you. But where does it end? Do I let pi back in because his bet was only eight minutes late even though he was a complete douche with his insistence that it didn't count? What about the other people that forgot to bet? Juju was leading everyone and he's out. If I let you back in, I have to let everyone back in, and then there is no betting requirement. That's not how I wanted to set this up. I'm sorry.

This was done three years ago, and was'nt done since because noone wanted to do it. I appreciate the offer but the rules were set before we started. That was the time to offer ideas on a better way to do it. Had you offered back then I would have gladly accepted. We're already into it, the rules are the same for everybody, I can't start bending them mid-game, it's not right. I'm sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubkev Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 No worries. It's bad juju to take money that you didn't earn and then stick around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyldnwoody44 Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) It's definitely hard to remember betting each week, but the rules were posted, and this is all in fun anyways. Next season we can regroup with new ideas, but this was a good time a few years ago, and it still is, I'm not familiar with how many of the participants were active in that one (I've been on this forum, a lot longer than I thought) Edited November 16, 2016 by Wyldnwoody44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JujuFish Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Hey now, I've bet every week after missing the first week and a half (and I bet 4 times in 5 games to play "catch up" then). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JujuFish Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) If you're right, I'll apologize and fix it. What's the post #? Depends on what week you have me down as skipped. I bet yesterday the 15th and lost (post 452). Before that, I bet on the 7th and also lost post 369. Before that, I bet on the 5th, 3rd, 1st, 29th, and 27th. I believe I'm sitting at $2,540.

SwampD Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Just as a point of reference, what day does the week start? Friday? Saturday? Sunday? Monday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted November 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Damn. You missed the first week. I didn't catch it, allowed you to bet, and even included you in the standings. I up. Everyone is back in. No one is out for missing a week. I can't exclude others when I missed juju. I guess I'll just get rid of the weekly requirement sense I up. Unless anyone has a better idea. I'm at grandsons MMA training so I can't it right now, I'll update the standings in the morning. Just as a point of reference, what day does the week start? Friday? Saturday? Sunday? Monday? It went from Monday thru Sunday. But again, I up and allowed juju to bet even though he missed the first week. I think because of that its fair to let everyone else back in and waive the weekly betting requirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyldnwoody44 Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) Maybe 3 bets a month (minimum) .... Fair? That way if some forget, we can knock off 3 bets at the end of that month.... This way it keeps money moving as well.

MattPie Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 The way this season is going, forcing a double bet on the Sabres on the last game if each week is a good penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastajoe Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Keeping track of how many times someone bet in a month is tough. Perhaps make the rule that you have to bet at least once every three games. Start with Tampa, Pitt, Calgary. Put an 'x' next to the player's name when you list everyone showing they bet. Anyone who doesn't bet once in those three games automatically loses 300 points. Then it resets for the next three games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattPie Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 I know this would be difficult, but it would be interesting to see how the house is doing. Actually, wouldn't it just be (number of bettors * $2000) - sum(all balances)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
