  who the hell bet 2,000 lol.....obviously virtual

  Well, I specifically wanted some Indians ones (I am just guessing on these Reds games, seeing as how I don't give a shit about them), just threw the Pirates out there to liven it up, haha

  Zombiekiller going for the gold!
  
  Both pitchers suck against the other team....Lilly is sometimes unhittable....but both teams have had success off of each other.....Pirates have already faced Lilly 3 times
  
  I'm surprised the over/under isn't higher....but Vegas rules
• karen lotz

  

  good I won't feel bad if that Cubs/Pirates thriller is the last event including either of those teams.
• karen lotz

  

  I see Karstens going about 7.2 scoreless innings of 2 hit ball tomorrow. I don't see the murderer's row that the Russell will trot out there being able to touch the crafty southpaw that Lilly has become.

  ok

  Just for future reference, you guys may only want to offer the over OR the under, or take odds closer to even money on some of these (remember, your 2:1 pays the bet back then 2x)
  
  If I take my 3110 (once I get my 75 from tonight's Reds game) and split it evenly between the 4 categories up there, I am guaranteed to win 2 categories. Regardless of who wins or if it is over or under, my 3110 will become 4665.
  
  Anyone who bets all of their money in that way is guaranteed a (roughly) 33% increase in their total vbucks.

  nice job lotz......been there done that
  
  ts1227......can you do 1 to 1 odds? I've done the 2:3 and 1:2 odds a couple of times
• ts1227

  

  1:1 should just pay it back plus 1x (basically you would double your bet on a win - if you bet 10 you'd get that 10 back + another 10)
  
  If all the options were 1:1 on this thread and I bet evenly across the board like I said before, I would break even.
  
  
  Another option would be to keep the odds and options you have, but only allow one bet (since you can't set it to allow a certain number).
• Ironman92

  

  yeah....using the 1 bet only is key on some of these
• Ironman92

  

  will justin allow this one?
• ts1227

  

  It sucks because it would be nice to bet on both the game and the over/under, but it's that or trim the odds.
• karen lotz

  

  Yeah I was thinking people would only pick the winner and one over/under but I forgot people will do anything to win vcash.

  I'm just glad I was able to put my math minor to some use...

  No doubt! I saw some Chatters hanging out in the Volleyball forum offering to suck some vcock in exchange for vcash. Some dudes will do anything for vcrack.

  Damn! An hour too late to put major bank on this game!
• Ironman92

  

  Pretty early time for accepting bids.
• karen lotz

  

  I honestly don't know how it got set to 9 am. I will change it. I'm 100% sure I had it set to 11 PM for settling. Not that it really matters but WTF?
• Heretic

  

  Question: Are vBets only able to be set up like polls? Where everything gets grouped under one header? Or can you separate things, so you can run multiple bets on the same thread? Because, to prevent things from being exploited, if while keeping it all on one thread, it'd be great to be able to have a winner bet to go with a spread and/or over-under bet. But if it's not possible to separate things, then that can't happen.
• karen lotz

  

  ^^^^
  
  Yeah, as far as I can tell its only set up like polls. We'd have to open a new thread for over/under and one for spread to stop people from exploiting. We can limit it to one bet per thread. Then you would be only able to pick the over or the under or the winner ATS.

  That's what I was figuring, but felt it wouldn't hurt to ask.
