Assuming we have enough still onboard, the betting parlor will be back open for business this coming season. I am pondering doing something a little different than the 3-team parlays that we suck at so much. Will try some things out in the preseason.

In the meantime, here are the Vegas ridiculously too early rankings:

1. Palookas - defending champ until otherwise
2. Chaos - postseason run to build off of
3. KC Comets - will be a regular season force, can they handle the postseason?
4. Hurricanes - another one that should have high expectations
5. Gofers - went quiet late in the season, will spend time at #1 at some point
6. Odyssey - no longer the new kids on the block
7. Insanity - coming off an inconsistent, but dangerous team kind of year
8. STALINGRAD - Rookie success didn't pan out last year, bounce back candidate
9. Copperheads - the new, new kids back on the block
10. 4th Street Gang - lot tougher going in #1
11. War Dawgs - may struggle to compete this year
12. Ho Chi Mean - will struggle to compete this year

Futures 3-Team Parlay:
Place a bet (will be deducted from you initial regular season $1000 starting cash) and pick the winner of the
1) Western Conference regular season title,
2) the Eastern Conference regular season title, and
3) the UL championship game.

Get 1 correct and win 6x your original bet, two correct and win 12x your bet, get all three correct and win 36x your bet.

This money will be added in at the end of the contest to determine our winner.

I'm sure we're over the bottom four, our offense must prove we belong higher and that's not easy with O-Line holes we have. Thank you for the early work Jim, as always keeping things interesting!

Ok, the preseason should be rolling out soon so I want to get some betting info out now so you can "practice" during the preseason games (and I can make adjustments as I see fit :neenerneener.

I will continue to post point spreads for each week's games.
Once the regular season rolls around, everyone starts with $1000.
This season you have 3 betting options each week, but you may only place one bet per week:

- 3-Team Parlay: Place a bet on a 3-team parlay against the spread, payout is 6x your bet (same as last two years)
- 3-Team Parlay + Insurance: Place a bet on a 4-team parlay against the spread, payout is 3x your bet if you get 3 games correct, payout is 12x if you get all 4 correct.
- Pick 6: Place a bet and pick the winner of all 6 games (no spreads), win 3x your bet if you get 5 correct, win 12x your bet if you get all 6 correct

Anybody that starts after Week 1 will start out with $500.
If you go broke at any point in the season, you get a reset to $100. All multipliers remain the same but will have to try and build your bank account back up.

If you want to practice during the preseason, you can start out with $1000. All cash will reset at the beginning of the regular season.

JMarter, have you ever thought about some Futures betting sir?!
Like Week 1 of the season, we are able to put whatever amount out of the $1000 down to bet on the winner of the league and it pays out an insane multiplier?!

Good idea. I may just add something along those lines in before the season starts.

Let’s get this season rolling. First, great idea from USSDestroyer. Let’s put it in play:

Futures 3-Team Parlay:
Place a bet (will be deducted from you initial regular season $1000 starting cash) and pick the winner of the
1) Western Conference regular season title,
2) the Eastern Conference regular season title, and
3) the UL championship game winner.

Get 1 correct and win 6x your original bet, two correct and win 12x your bet, get all three correct and win 36x your bet.

This money will be added in at the end of the contest to determine our winner.

By the way, a belated congrats goes out to FredEx who walked away with the money title last season.

If you want to participate in this special Futures bet, you must post your bet & picks before we rollover to Day 0 and the regular season betting begins. I will document the bets on the OP.

Now, if you want to practice the new betting options (while I try to get a handle on the lines in these meaningless games), I will publish lines for the preseason games. Again, your options are any one of the three bets:

- 3-Team Parlay: Place a bet on a 3-team parlay against the spread, payout is 6x your bet (same as last two years)
- 3-Team Parlay + Insurance: Place a bet on a 4-team parlay against the spread, payout is 3x your bet if you get 3 games correct, payout is 12x if you get all 4 correct.
- Pick 6: Place a bet and pick the winner of all 6 games (no spreads), win 3x your bet if you get 5 correct, win 12x your bet if you get all 6 correct

Everyone has $1000 to start off with, this will get reset (minus any Futures bet) once we get to the regular season.
So, here we go. Pure guesses at this point:

Preseason Week 1:
STALINGRAD (-28.5) vs Copperheads
War Dawgs vs Hurricanes (-77.5)
4th Street vs Odyssey (-63.5)
Ho Chi Mean vs Gofers (-84.5)
Chaos (-6.5) vs Insanity
Comets vs Palookas (-6.5)

Participants:
reddogrw $1000 - pick 6 - $200 Stalingrad, Hurricanes, Odyssey, Gofers, Chaos, Pookies
Kenshinzen $1000 - 3 +1 - $100 to Stalingrad, 4th Street, Hurricanes, Comets

Need to name a winner in your Chaos/Odyssey final for a shot at the big bucks. And I see that was unclear in my post, I fixed it.
