Hey So Cal, why can't we bet with spreads? This is the reason people won so much money and we had to do a vbuck reduction.

**SoCalDomer** · 08-25-2008, 05:09 PM

i don't believe the odds were ever set for betting with spreads. but i will discuss with the other mods and adjust if they approve.

i don't mind one way or the other.

I just remember that people would put all their money, like betting on Florida against Hawaii, and you can almost guarantee a win. If it's spread, that makes it so much more difficult and interesting

I understand and agree it adds to the difficulty. But I think the odds for highly favored games were also adjusted a while back. For example, in the Florida game, florida is heavily favored. But you only get something like 1:10 odds. So for every 10 v-bucks you put down, you only win 1. Yes, you're likely to win, but not very much. the easy bet doesn't always pay well.

i've floated the idea to the mods.
