Tennessee vs Vandy (spread) 7pm EST 11/17/2012

[JohnShadows]

GITM asked me to put this up for testing purposes.

Vols vs Commodores for the state champeenship.

Should put time and date in the title so we don't end up with duplicate threads.

Definitely.

Hold up with the rest. I was thinking that we could do all the Saturday games in one betting event and close betting off at 12pm on sat. I think it will be much easier, and I've seen other boards do it.

Great idea. One stop shopping!

Gotcha.

Don't mean to be picky but on the betting lines, shouldn't 'Tenn +4' be on top?

The title is written correctly, but I had to pull up the games just to be sure Vandy was at home once I saw the line.

Actually, now that you mention it, RA - I'm pretty sure I entered it with Tenn +4 on top - I don't know what happened there.

I don't know - it shouldn't, because there is no listed favorite (the spread actually isn't factored in - it's run as even odds, and the bookie enters the result after the game). This was basically a test run, and I should include 'at' in titles going forward, and I'll make sure to put the home team on bottom. Thanks for the heads-up.

We are betting the spread though, right?

Yes. After the game, the operator enters the result, taking the spread into account.

 

[Red_Alert]

Thank you for your efforts sir

Bookies are already fucking us out of our money and the games haven't even started yet.

Dirty bastards.

[Red_Alert]

Spread fixed.

[SoonerDO]

So who ever makes the thread holds the bet until the payout?

 

[LeaderOCola]

like the date and time too , lol

 

[SLY]

Right. And you can only create a betting event if you are a bookie.

Having said that, I doubt we will have more than a couple.

As much as it pains me to say this... This is a good idea.

I agree with Ghost. Otherwise, it'll turn into a shitstorm of people placing odds on the number of gg's ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, per day and other stupid shit.
