Congrats on obliterating the second place person by over 1 million vCash.

Let me know where you want your giftcard to, so long as it is something that I can send you electronically (i.e. Amazon or any other online store) or something I can easily pick up at Kroger.

New contest starts tomorrow and will run through the Super Bowl. I'll work out prizes at some point soon and let you all know.

Everyone gets reset to 500. Ha!

I am also working on the ability for you to earn vCash through interactions with the site, i.e. starting threads, posting, referrals, etc.

So, if you lose all your money again you're pretty much screwed until February? Wow, I'll have to be conservative. lol

You know what, I'll be nice and reset everyone to 1000. And like I said, I am working on something that will allow you to earn vCash outside of just winning bets.

Hey Justin,
I just want the bragging rights!
The gift card you can keep, donate or what ever you see fit.

I took advantage of some learning curves in the odds.
Not that everyone could not do the same.
Yes I won the inaugural, and no one else can say that!!!!!

I am KING! HAHAHA

Question....when we begin setting up football games we'll likely have the betting thread up several days before the game. Is it recommended we set the line/odds whatever and then a few days closer to the game we find out of key injuries or some key player missing a game........do we keep the odds the same as we initially set them or adjust them slightly to make them more accurate.

Ex....Steelers are -7.5 and then on Friday learn that Polamalu and Roethlisberger will not play....leave it or change it some?

You gotta leave it because I believe it pays out based on the final line, not what line the person bet at.

Thank you, sir. This is good, too, because I've got no money. :)

I think you may be wrong on this one.

When I did my first NASCAR thread, I set the odds absurdly low, and ended up adjusting them because they were so bad. Those that bet beforehand still had the old odds showing on the page where you can see who bet what. Had those bets come in, they would have paid at the odds at which they were bet and not the final one, or so it appears.

There are at least 2 examples of it on the link below... the bets of GoChiefs and sonofanump

I'll make it another 10 if you keep it up. :)

I'm ineligible from winning anyway, so I could give myself a billion and it would matter.
