View Full Version : Panthers - Bears bets (Divisional Playoffs - Sunday Jan 15)
McLamb 01-15-2006, 03:06 AM Submit bets for the Carolina - Chicago game by 4:30 PM EST.
If you dont know how it works just send the geos to McLamb (me) and PM me your team choice. Please reply to this post that you bet but not for which team, might make things unfair somehow.
Please keep them in 10s. (70 geos is fine, 1080 is fine, 11 makes the math hard)
If enough people place bets this will continue through the superbowl.
There's no cut going to me, only my 50 geo bet for Carolina, Good luck!
What's the line? Or are you not doing points?
I was wondering when someone would get around to becoming a GEWar bookie :)

Its just going to be percentage based, if theres a 100 and a 400 bet for team one and 1000 total for team two then they get 300 and 1200. Nothing too complicated. And that way I'm not risking geos I dont have.

No, I mean the line on the game. Like http://www.vegas.com/gaming/ has the Bears as 2.5 point favorites. You can either bet win/lose, which means that if you bet the Bears and they win, you win, or you can bet the line, which means that if the Bears only win by 1 or 2 points, you still lose.
Next up should be a pool like is played in every single office in the United States. I'm not quite sure how you'd go about filling in the squares easily though email or PM, but it should be pretty easy to run.

I'm not that mathimatically talented so I think it would be easier just to do win/lose. Would you like to be the first to place a bet? :)

I might make a bet. I don't have a strong enough feeling about the game to want to wager anything right now, real or imaginary. What's the deadline?
McLamb 01-15-2006, 06:07 AM Sunday, at 4:30. Pretty late to set it up but todays my first day here.
I just put my bet.
*crosses fingers*
McLamb 01-15-2006, 08:14 PM 3000 people on this site and no one wants to make a simple wager?? come on, pick your team!
Alright, I'm gullible enough ;) I just sent you my Geos.
Panthers got their first touchdown!!! :bang :bang :bang
I guess there are only 3 of us who bet?
Well, I'll keep betting on the panthers... all the way to the super bowl! :cheer
McLamb 01-16-2006, 12:26 AM Final score -
Carolina 29
Chicago 21
Sorry to all those people who picked the bears ;)

p0wderfinger 01-16-2006, 12:32 AM Why did people cry out against gambling when I brought up my Poker idea, but nobody is complaining about sports betting?
Okay who wants to make bets on who will win the Stanley Cup?
*waiting for the Canadian jokes*
McLamb 01-16-2006, 12:36 AM I could go for some poker, it just seems like it would be pretty hard to set up.
p0wderfinger 01-16-2006, 01:34 PM So far I haven't gotten around to doing it, but it would just be private games between members. Everyone pays the entry fee and winner gets all.
cough cough
Hey mclamb, when do I get my winnings?
McLamb 01-17-2006, 07:46 PM I'm still trying, apparently you have to have a city... I had an army outside an unoccupied city for about 16 hours yesterday while the server was down then someone came up and just happen to log on right after it came back online and took it. So,, still trying to find a city. Very sorry for the wait, guess I shouldn't hold any more games until I make sure it will work :(
