I can’t take advanrage of anything as I still have 24 cents.
Talked with the owner yesterday, there will hopefully be a resolution soon. The problem is that this new version of Sportsbook doesn't have the same system for refills. So it's going to have to be manually added.

Well nfl for tonight. Nba is tommmroow. But yeah we’ll change it up a bit....

Hell I’ll open it up. If you see a prop bet you want and have odds for it. Link it and I’ll post it. If you think of something just odd you want, I’ll make the odds myself :D. Let’s have Some fun.

Just wondering, so we'll know for future games, how are you planning to handle partial pushes on parlays?

To use the example of the above bets, if the game's O/U ends up being exactly 49, are the parlays going to be settled as pushes or as losses?
thats a great question........It appears the software does not give me the option to partial payout, as the books normally would. SO the only solution for things posted right now, is if its a push, you win, free money.

Moving forward. The only logical thing I can think if is 2 options. No parlays, or everything that involves a parlay, HAS to involve half points on both sides......

what are your thoughts on that?

Sorry, learning as I go with the software.

In my opinion, if any part of a parlay pushes, the whole parlay should push.

My reasoning:

Settling a parlay as a loss on a partial push is more severe than actual sportsbooks, which, as you mentioned, would instead take out the pushed portions and recalculate payout from the remaining odds.

On the other hand, settling a parlay as a win even if part of it pushes feels very wrong to me, because the whole concept of a parlay is that you only win if and only if every part of it wins, and not every part won if there was a push. Yeah, that's tough, but that's the risk the bettor takes on for the high payouts.

So I would say, split the difference between win and loss: if any part of a parlay pushes, the whole parlay pushes.

(Also, this has the advantage of not having to worry about remembering to always do half-points.)

I can get down with that. It’s a flaw in the system unfortunately.

just as long as everyone understands.

maybe we can make a thread for bets, payouts, and features that everyone would like to see.... and see what we can implement and how to handle some situations....

I do totally understand what you are saying. My rationale for paying out as a win , at least now, is it wasn’t announced how it would be handled, so I feel that’s in the house, and house should eat it...

Nothing like being completely ignored to make you feel welcome
Looks like it's working now. Hopefully it will update properly on a daily basis. Tag me if there's any problems, if you could.

Lol, $40k was my highest point. I killed the 2 startup football leagues and hated to see them both fold lol.
