Assuming we have enough still onboard, the betting parlor will be back open for business this coming season. Here's the list of former winners:

Rookie League: PaulDixon186 $1800
Prep League: Fred Ex $11,000
University League: reddogrw $88,748,360

Will run much the same as last season but will be lowering the payout for the Pick 6 from 12x to 6x. So here’s the plan, all subject to change if there are any other suggestions.

I will continue to post point spreads for each week's games.
Once the regular season rolls around, everyone starts with $5000.
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
- 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 1x your bet if you get 5 correct, win 6x your bet if you get all 6 correct

Anybody that starts after Week 1 will start out with $1000.
If you go broke at any point in the season, you get a reset to $1000. 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.

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

1. Palookas (A) – two-time defending champ until otherwise
2. KC Comets (A) – will be a fight for that top seed in Alpha
3. Hurricanes (Z) – expect a big bounce back after missing the playoffs last season
4. Odyssey (Z) – can’t hide anymore
5. Chaos (A) – capable of hanging with the big boys
6. Gofers (Z) – big 2nd half charge last year, got momentum on their side
7. Insanity (Z) – need more consistency
8. STALINGRAD (A) – pretty good team for this place in the rankings
9. Copperheads (A) – will be competitive, can they push for a playoff spot?
10. WAR HAMMER (Z) – return from a year in exile, how soon will they bounce back?
11. War Dawgs (A) – probably still a bit behind the field
12. 4th Street Gang (Z) – still hanging around

And we will bring back the Futures bet with a higher payout:
Futures 3-Team Parlay:
Place a bet (will be deducted from your initial regular season $5000 starting cash) and pick the winner of the
1) Alpha Conference regular season title,
2) the Zeta Conference regular season title, and
3) the RML championship game.

Get 1 correct and win 10x your original bet, two correct and win 25x your bet, get all three correct and win 100x your bet.
This money will be added in at the end of the contest to determine our winner.

Thought we have only 1000 to start. Then I’ll raise to $2500, same teams.

Done. I think that University record will be a tough one to break.

By the way, I did notice that it was in the rules (I copied this from last season) that you can only place one bet per week.

Ok, about to get his Reg Minors thing kicked off! This group of teams/owners/agents have a reputation to uphold - let's keep waking up these GLB forums!

Don't forget to get your Futures Bet in before the end of the preseason games. Once the schedule comes out, we'll run a little practice betting in the preseason. Here's to another competitive season!

So the preseason is upon us! Really bored? How about betting on preseason games? Anyone that wants to starts with $1000 (this will be reset to $5000 at the start of the regular season). Betting options the same as last season but the payoff for the Pick 6 has been dropped down a bit. Also don't forget to get those Futures Bets in before we kickoff the regular season.

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
- 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 1x your bet if you get 5 correct, win 6x your bet if you get all 6 correct

Preseason Game 1 Lines:
Palookas (-14.5) vs WAR HAMMER - WAR HAMMER 13-6 WAR HAMMER
Comets vs Gofers (-3.5) - Comets 9-7 Comets
STALINGRAD (-84.5) vs 4th Street - STALINGRAD 97-3 STALINGRAD
War Dawgs vs Insanity (-63.5) - Insanity 83-0 Insanity
Chaos vs Odyssey (-13.5) - Chaos 23-7 Chaos
Copperheads vs Hurricanes (-35.5) - Hurricanes 54-0 Hurricanes

Participants:
Kenshinzen $1000 - $200 to Palookas (L), War Dogs (L), Copperheads (L) LOSS $800
Fred Ex $1000 - $500 Palookas (L), Comets, Copperheads (L) LOSS $500
