With the days getting shorter, Kids going back to school, autumn is upon us. These signs can mean only one thing.
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL 2016
It’s easy folks just pick a team, (more than one person can pick the same team) you can study the stats, choose your favorite team or pick one because you like their colors or their Mascot, the choice is yours. Here’s a link to help you choose.
This is a friendly game, no cash prizes but wagers between players and trash talk is strongly encouraged.
The rules are …. there are no rules lol.
Actually both team opponents have to agree to the bet or wager.
We are playing for control of profile dress (No Nudity), Profile taglines & placement of avatars, and with the addition of the meeting places, Public humiliation!
Anything more than that is at the discretion and agreement of the players for each game
Please post your wager and the forfeit. Pics are always nice.
Winning Team = Winner of the bet.
Players can adopt unadopted teams for an individual game if they wish.
Tip – Players might wish to take advantage of the point spread when negotiating wagers.
How the Point Spread Works:
When two teams meet on the playing field, one team is typically better than the other. If all sports gamblers had to do was to pick the winning team in a game, everybody would simply wager on the best team and collect their money. Using an example from Week 2 of the 2007 NFL season, the Atlanta Falcons were visiting the Jacksonville Jaguars. There was little doubt Jacksonville was the better of the two teams and if all one had to do was to pick the winning team, nearly every bettor would have taken the Jaguars.
What the sportsbooks and bookies did, however, was to create a point spread, to make both teams equally attractive in the eyes of bettors.
In this case, Jacksonville was installed as a 10 point favorite, which is commonly written as Jacksonville -10. Atlanta, the underdog, is commonly written as Atlanta +10.
If you bet the favorite, Jacksonville, the Jaguars have to win by 11 points or more in order for you to win your bet. Remember, the Jaguars are favored by 10 points, so we subtract 10 points from their final score for betting purposes. If Jacksonville were to win 24-13, Jaguar bettors would win their wager. If the Jaguars were to win 23-14, Jacksonville bettors would lose because they did not win by more than 10 points.
If you bet the underdog, the Atlanta Falcons, you win your bet if the Falcons win the game or if they lose by 9 points or less. Because the Falcons are the underdogs, we add 10 points to their final score for betting purposes.
If the Jaguars were to win the game by exactly 10 points, 24-14, it would be a tie or a push and all wagers are refunded to bettors.
Jacksonville did defeat Atlanta as expected, but the Jaguars failed to cover the point spread when they won by a score of 13-7.
