WELCOME TO SHODAN’S LOUNGE!
“Where you get a chance to kick a certain someone’s a$$, each and every week.” BASIC BETTING RULES:* All bets are straight-up; and not against any spread. The team you wager on (whether the Favorite or Underdog) need only win – it doesn’t matter by how much...The predicted score is listed only for fun, and determining the favorite. *GMs may place single bets on either the Favorite (must bet 2 BLBs to win 1) or Underdog (must bet 1 BLB to win 2) in any, or all, of the individual games listed below. *GMs may place one 3-Team Parley bet (must bet 1 BLB to win 3) each week; may place two different parley bets in doubleheader week – at least 1 of the 3 teams must be different in the 2nd parley bet. *GMs are not required to bet, but may bet any week they choose. *GMs may bet on their own teams to win, but not against them. *Bets must be posted by the deadline for submitting team lineups. Once a bet is posted, it may not be modified or deleted. Additional bets on other games must be made in a new post. *Full set of Rules at: thebigleague.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=tbl2sportsbook&action=display&thread=2022WEEK 1 Favorites/Underdogs:

Select any 3 teams, regardless of whether they are Favorites or Underdogs. All 3 teams must win. Odds 3:1 (i.e., bet 1 BLB to win 3) ***** SAMPLE BET: You may state your bets however you want, as long as your intent is clear. For example, let’s say you want to take the Hive, Wonderlickers & GURU to win, and parley the Hive, Jager Bombs & Argonauts. That’s a 6 BLB bet total. You can simply say something like: “I’ll take the Hive, Lickers & Guru. Parley Hive, JBombs & Argos.” ****** “The Commissioner’s Winners Circle Club”:GOLD MEMBER – Place bets in 5 separate weeks and receive 5 BLBs, payable at the end of the season. DIAMOND MEMBER – Place 10 bets over 10 separate weeks and receive 10 BLBs, payable at the end of the season. Join and you’re really playing with Shodan’s money! ****** Good Luck, Gentlemen! |

$1 3 team Parlay: Ho's GURU Buddah Is that correct? Yes. If the Ho's, GURU & Buddah all win, you get 3 BLBs. However, if any one of them lose, you lose 1 BLB |

Jousters 3-team parlay Barrister / Fundy BullGods. **BARRISTER EDIT (9/10): Sorry, Jer. No bet. TBL2 Sportsbook Rule 1.d, says:
“’Pete Rose Rule (Modified)’. GMs may bet on their own teams to win, but not against them to lose. This includes Parley bets.”
Your Argos are playing the Ho’s this week. So by including the Ho’s in your parlay bet, you are betting on your own team to lose.
I forgot about that..... |

After reviewing a score correction - I will recall my $1 BLB bet for JackRabbits to win. My bets are as follows: Single Bets Ho's to win (2 BLB). Jager Bombs to win (2 BLB). Gladiators to win (1 BLB). Barrister to win (2 BLB). 3 team parlay (1 BLB) Hos, Jager Bombs, Gladiators **BARRISTER EDIT (9/11): Sportsbook Rule 2.c, says that once a bet has been posted it may not be modified nor deleted. Allowing posted bets to be changed/retracted during the week is an accounting nightmare to keep track of. One reason we set things up very conservatively is because this Sportsbook thing is pretty new to everyone and understand it will take a week or so to get into the real swing of things. Nevertheless, I think your 1 BLB bet on the Jackrabbits has to stand under the rule.
Also, in this case you’re asking to retract your bet after the GURU/Jackrabbit game you bet on has actually started. Frankly, scoring correction or no scoring correction, there aren’t many sportsbooks that will let you do that. Sorry, Trey. Besides, the Rabbits may win – in which event you’ll be thanking me for my tough love on this. If not, maybe I'll cut you a break someday on a trade for my being such a strict b*stard on this.  |

No problem with that at all. I took the line where you stated "In fact, in Week 1 you'll even know the outcome of the Titan-Steeler game before the deadline for getting your wager in on Sunday" to mean that I and everyone else in the league can make wagers after the Thursday game is complete, so a match in progress had little bearing on my attempt to change the bet. I knew I couldn't modify a post, but now after re-reading I can see you mean no modifying wagers regardless of post - so seems pretty cut and dry to me. **BARRISTER EDIT (9/12): Good point. I see where you’re coming from. One purpose of the rule is to prohibit retraction of a bet once it is placed/posted. It does that by prohibiting the modification or deletion of any post. But I will make that clearer in the rule…In this specific case, think of it this way: Being allowed to bet on the GURU/Jackrabbit game this week, even after the Titan/Steeler game is over, is kind of like Shodan herself. She’ll seduce you with the liberal granting of her charms -- but once you’ve accepted them, you can’t get away from the bitch. |

My bad.
The DEADLINE for submitting your bets in the TBL2 Sportsbook is at 1:00 pm eastern TODAY -- and not tomorrow night! Sorry for my screw-up in the rules -- I've sent everyone an e-mail and posted in the league site.
It never ceases to amaze me how you can look at something a gazillion times and still manage to screw-up! I'll revise the involved rule soon. Sorry if any body was mislead.
