Here is how it will work, I did something very similar to this last year. It will be a basic gambling game. Everyone will start out with 1,000 (fake) dollars to gamble with. For each date I will post a list of up to 10 games (with spreads) approximately 3 days in advance and you can "bet" in increments of $10 on any of the games in the list. Winner is the poster with the most money at the end of the season. If you run out of money...you are done.

I will provide the "lines" but will loosly base them from Ken Pomeroy's ratings found at kenpom.com, the earlier in the year the more tweaking I will do. You may suggest games for me to list but remember that I lock them in 3 days ahead of time so be sure to do so before then.

Some rules/guidlines

- You cannot bet more money than you currently have...if you do I will adjust the bet for the max amount of money that you possess. If you make multiple bets and cannot cover them all, I will place the bets in the order you have them listed until you run out of money.
- When making the bet, you must list the date, wager, and team you are wagering on in your post.
- You may edit/delete wagers up until game time but please note what you have changed when doing so. If a post has been edited after game time I will not accept the changes.
- Any other questions feel free to PM me or post them in this thread. You may also place bets via PM if you wish.

We have a horse betting thread in the "Inside the Ropes" forum that is into it's second season. Anyone can join at any time and come and go as they please. You are all welcome to join in that as well.

Knew Winthrop would kill people.

Both favorites win but don't cover tonight. Go Tribe is the first player eliminated. Standings have been updated on the first page.

*Note* - Always double check your totals and let me know if I have made a mistake.
