I have an idea for a betting game. We will try this on a monthly basis. Here's how it works
1. You sign up, and I give you 1000 virtual dollars.
2. I will post 3-4 sporting events every week, and the line for you to bet on.
3. Your goal is to make as much cash in the month as possible. At the beginning of each month we will determine a winner. Cash totals will
not reset at the beginning of the month unless you have less than 100 dollars. I Am hoping that we can do this for the rest of the year and declare a winner then, especially if interest is still decent. If interest wanes, then we will end on the last day of whatever month I decide,
4. If you have less than than 100 dollars at the beginning of the month, you will be given enough money to total 100 bucks.
5. You cannot activate this last rule, unless you have no bets due during the next month. This is to prevent people from getting free cash.
6.I may post some fun bets that pertain to FOFC members, dynasties, etc. If I do decide to post anything like this, all bets will be made via PM to not affect the outcome. I will also declare any such bets as being a private bet only.
7. You can either post your bet here, or via a PM, but only for bets that do not pertain to FOFC Members. Those bets will taken via PM only. I will not post any privately made bets until after the results of the bet are known, or if I have the time, before the event starts.
8. All bets must be made at least 15 minutes before the event starts. On some bets I may set a mandatory time limit to place, especially if the bet doesnt have one to being with. I will make every effort to post most bets at least 24 hours in advance of an event. This should give most everyone a chance to play.
9. Please do not edit your posts where you declare a bet. If you decide to bet more on the same type of bet, then feel free to add another post. Any edited posts will be declared null and void and will not count.
10. One final rule. In order to declare a winner, you must wager at least 40% of your starting bankroll in order to be declared the winner. I dont really want someone to signup and never play and somehow manage to win. You do not have to wager all 400 dollars at once, you could make any number of bets that equals 400 dollars. Also, the outcome of the bets is not important here, simply placing the bets is enough.
If you see some sort of wierd sporting event that you think we should get a crack at, feel free to PM me.
