spreads do make sense but there should still be a money line with a low rate of return. people wont bet if the only potential to win is extreme odds.

first, having a money line with low rate of return is what we did in the past. many people asked for the spread instead. having both the spread and the moneyline for the favored team makes no sense.

second, people bet with extreme odds all the time with real money. so no one should be afraid to lose v-bucks.

lastly, if the v-bucks get too high again, they'll just be reduced again. so making alot of v-bucks on easy wins only guarantees the v-bucks get wiped out again.

Agreed. It's not real money people! It's for fun! Too bad I have that attitude in Vegas.

This is really simple guys, the only reason it is difficult is your only have two options;

ND wins by 22 or SDSU wins.

Rather, it should be ND wins by 22 or ND doesn't win by 22 (including a SDSU win).

There is a big gap between ND winning by 22 and SDSU winning, understand?

actually i don't think that's quite right. i don't know what the odds for ND winning but not winning by more than 22 would be. the odds for someone picking SDSU to win would not be the same as ND winning but not by more than 22.

the only way to add a third option (ND wins but not by more than 22 points) would be to use the moneyline odds, but that's not how those odds are created. either way, there can't be overlapping winning options, otherwise that would just get crazy.

if you want to pick ND (or any team for that matter) but don't think they'll beat the spread, i guess there's no option. i guess it's no guts, no glory. LOL

i think this will be less of an issue for games where the spread is closer. in those cases, the odds that the favored team does not beat the spread or the underdog wins will be closer.

I hate to sound like another certain poster that we all know and love, but I'm clueless to the whole vbucks and the cash vs. bankroll, etc. I'm probably an idiot, but can someone either explain it to me or point me in the right direction where I can read about it? Thanks!

Oh, and betting against the spread is waaayyyyy better, and much more interesting. And a money line on a 22 point spread is ridiculous. Wait until we get those 3-7 point spreads, then the money line gets a lot more interesting.

Less than 3 days away!!!

All in!

All in!

I don't even know what this money is for yet, since I just joined about 20 minutes ago. The Irish at -22 is a given though. I'm all in for a whopping $524.00

Go Irish!
