MLB Betting Challenge?

Post by trendon »

Anyone down for one this year? Figure we give $100 to the winner so the more people who enter, the lower the fee.

Like a five-month long gambling challenge. Whoever has the most units win at the end of the regular season is the winner.

So total cost to enter will be $100/number of entrants?

We aren't required to actually be betting what we list each week?

Is there a min/max number of units bet allowed per week?

Well?

I'm taking San Diego and Detroit this weekend. Both fairly big dogs, don't think either will get swept.

Today:
SD +170, 1 unit
Detroit +138, 1 unit

I'm not trying to run this so just an opinion... if it's like the ones in the past theres like an office pool on Wagerline he can set up, and I believe every bet is 1 unit regardless.

For whatever reason, I thought this was a no-go. When I get home, I will set it up.

Kimbrel's got some serious gas :D He had 40 K last year in 20 innings. Kid is gonna either be a star, or throw his arm out.

And the Reds do it again....two out, three run walkoff homer to win on opening day. Two years in a row.

looks like there are enough people that i would be in. Just don't want to be throwing away too much money on this. No doubt i'll lose. I would assume everyone is going to have some sort of "starting point"? Say 100 units? 500 unites? Just wondering.

We need to discuss ....

- Location (Basic choices are SBR.com or Covers.com)
- Wager amount (should it be one unit or anywhere from 1-5 units?)
- Include playoffs?
