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]

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.

As much as it pains me, I think Michigan wins. I bet with my head instead of my heart. Hope I'm wrong, they're only Vbucks.

I would not touch this game with WeisWeisbaby's V-bucks! Michigan could be REALLY bad this year. Then again there defense may carry them to a bowl game. I agree though we need the spread on these games! I do not want to make a bunch of v-bucks this year only to have it torn from my greedy hands.

If we can't bet against the spread, we should just come to an agreement that games with a spread greater than X shouldn't be posted as an option. Pick a number; I think any game with a spread greater than 15 should not be an option. And that's being a little too generous really.

Opinions?

starting next week, we're going to have the bets by the spread.

Perfect, that's the way it should be. Thanks to the people doing this...
