2055 WBL BETTING KICK OFF EVENT!

Standings:

Spoiler

italics - team currently ineligible to win

1. North Dakota - $280
2. Kabul/Little Rock - $200
4. Amsterdam - $197
5. Las Vegas - $160
6. Buffalo/UK - $110
8. Berlin/BA/FB/Lisbon/Miami/Moscow/SF/Seoul - $100
16. Helsingborg - $75
17. Istanbul - $70
18. Dublin - $0

Rules:

Spoiler

1. Quote the current line, from me, on which you are betting - as lines may change, it's important that you quote them so that it's easy and correct when I figure out payouts. Bets will be posted in a X to X format; for example, 2:1 (meaning $2 won for every $1 bet) or 1:3 ($1 won for every $3 bet). Over/under's are always 1:1 bets.
2. Any edited posts containing bets will not be counted
3. Bet windows will close immediately following the next sim, regardless of whether or not I announce it. Exceptions to this (i.e. LIMITED TIME ONLY bets or long-term bets) will be announced as such. This means you cannot bet on lines I posted AFTER a sim (unless specifically stated otherwise).
4. All decisions are made by me and are FINAL.
5. Each GM gets "$100" for each season
6. Bets may be up to the total amount you have remaining at the moment the post is made. Any bets where you went over ur current money total will not be counted. I'll do my best to keep totals up to date, but do ur own due diligence.
7. Parlays are acceptable - this is where you make two bets together. For example, you could bet that your team and another team both make the playoffs under one bet - if the odds were 3 to 1 for both, and you bet $5, instead of winning $30 (3 {to 1 odds} x $5 = $15 (x 2 different bets) = $30), you would win $45 (3 x $5 = $15 x 3 = $45). However, BOTH bets MUST win in order to win. Pushes will result in that singular bet being removed, while the rest of the parlay will continue as normal (and possibly as a single bet).
8. GMs cannot place bets on behalf of other GMs (without approval from me).
9. Format bets in an easy-to-read way. Bets posted like an asshole will not be counted.
10. GM with the most money following the conclusion of the World Series will receive UK's 3rd round pick in the 2056 draft.
11. You must wager at least $50 to be eligible to win - no coasting on the starting money.
12. All bets must be at least $1.

[OU11]

Give them the 1-1 if they win

 

[Mr. Radpants]

No.

 

[NML]

I'd be open to moving it up as high as 1-20, if people wanted. But that may be a next year suggestion if year 1 goes well.

 

[Travis7401]

Give up your pick in whatever round as a first year trial. A sign of your commitment

 

[Lloyd Carr]

I'm still waiting for the 3rd round pick @OU11 owes me from a bet 10 seasons ago

 

[OU11]

I'm still waiting for the 3rd round pick @OU11 owes me from a bet 10 seasons ago

I won that bet

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Why would you get a draft pick for this? The HG uses it as an incentive for people to donate good players, which redistributes talent, helps HAVE NOTS, and generally makes the League better.

As far as I can tell, this is just an outlet for gambling addicts, a hive of scum and villainy.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Let's report him to the NCAA

 

[Mr. Radpants]

TankLikeWoah is going to bet against himself, pitch CFs, and laugh his way to another first.

I might be in jail for a couple of months os I might just pull that myself if I don't have access to OOTP. Get ready Ryley Cutwolf - you gonna be pitching 200 innings this season.

That's why I made it a third round pick - just as a way to make it competitive.

It's a fun addition to help INCREASE IMMERSION and give everyone reason to pay attention to stuff other than their team.

Let's report him to the NCAA

NCAA doesn't offer simulation baseball, so I'm in the clear to gamble on it.

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

Lol @ a third round pick. Real money or I ain't in.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

They should, those capitalist pigs. I would get a full scholly.

 

[Orlando]

Like Travis said, you gotta offer up your own third rounder as a beta and see if people like it.

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

I don't think I have any 3rd rounders for the next 20 years.

 

[Lloyd Carr]

I won that bet

 

[OU11]

How'd i lose?

 

[Lloyd Carr]

I think I beat you in a 3-game series

but I dont remember anymore

 

[OU11]

See, that would never happen

FIRST BET ACTION OF THE YEAR
Which team will sign Raul Torres?
False Bay 1:4
Dublin 2:1
Miami 4:1
Field 5:1

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Yo. Why the fuck are you jinxing me? Veto

 

[NML]

A couple more on Torres

Over/Under on guaranteed years in Raul Torres' new contract - 4

Over/Under on total guaranteed salary in Raul Torres' new contract - $55,500,000

 

[NML]

Yo. Why the fuck are you jinxing me? Veto

Unfortunately, the veto process ended yesterday.

Shall I put you down for $100 on Dublin?

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Yo. Why the fuck are you jinxing me? Veto

There's no veto, everything he says is FINAL

 

[jdlikewhoa]

$46m seems low. Make it $100m over 4 years

 

[Travis7401]

A couple more on Torres

Over/Under on guaranteed years in Raul Torres' new contract - 4

Over/Under on total guaranteed salary in Raul Torres' new contract - $46,000,000

Over - $10
Over - $90

 

[NML]

$46m seems low. Make it $100m over 4 years

I could definitely see it going way up, but I'm not sure if anyone will push you much higher - and if they do, I'm not sure if they add a 4th guaranteed year.

 

[NML]

LINE ALTERED DUE TO A HEAVY BET

 

[OU11]

I'm going to look at the contracts each team is offering and place a bet

 

[Travis7401]

Offering lines on stuff we can have direct impact on might not be the best plan. Ima go put in offer in on Torres

 

[NML]

Offering lines on stuff we can have direct impact on might not be the best plan.

I actually can't think of a better plan.

WBL BETTING THREAD INCREASING IMMERSION 80/80

 

[Travis7401]

Can't wait for win total lines and HG winner odds.

 

[NML]

I'm going to look at the contracts each team is offering and place a bet

Over/under on betting thread winning percentage by Amsterdam - 90%


(note, not a reel bet)

 

[NML]

Can't wait for win total lines and HG winner odds.

I'm thinking I'll throw those up once ST starts, or at the midway point. Still a lot of big names to sign and I'm sure some pieces will be moved.

 

[NML]

I feel fairly uninformed on this one since he won't even open contract talks with me, but

Which team will sign Karpetbomber?
Amsterdam 1:3
False Bay 1:1
Buffalo 2:1
Kabul 2:1
San Fran 3:1
Field 3:1

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

Torres told me he couldn't play for Miami. Something about some kind of issue with "road beef" in South Beach.

 

[OU11]

I feel fairly uninformed on this one since he won't even open contract talks with me, but

Which team will sign Karpetbomber?
False Bay 1:2
Buffalo 1:1
Kabul 1:1
San Fran 3:1
Field 7:1

False Bay for $1.50

 

[jdlikewhoa]

False Bay for $1.50

Lol. This is a ruse. He should put the other $98.50 on hisself

 

[OU11]

What ever are you tom bout?

 

[NML]

Keep the insider information coming, lines always being altered

 

[Travis7401]

I was wondering why AMD wasn't on the list, lol. I already had my money allocated or I'd have bet $100 on field. OU feeling nostalgic.

 

[OU11]

Bunch of @Lloyd Carr fans in here, take your theories to zerohedge

 

[ZackMills]

Last I talked to Karpet, he said AMD gave him the best offer.

 

[OU11]

That's probably a glitch

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Last I talked to Karpet, he said AMD gave him the best offer.

Same. Until I threw another $5m onto what he was asking.

 

[ZackMills]

Yeah, throwing an extra $5M in on a 37 year old reliever is a sound investment.

 

[OU11]

Yeah, throwing an extra $5M in on a 37 year old reliever is a sound investment.

no such thing as a bad one year contract

 

[OU11]

I really placed that bet for real though, I only have $2,160 left for FA so if he bid higher I'm strapped. Dat 75 cents will help soothe the pain

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Sorry guys, he's coming back home to Dublin.
