Super Bowl Betting

I thought parlays were supposed to compound. For example, a $100 bet on a +100 (2/1) bet and a +700 (7/1) bet, individually, would equal +800 (so $800 winning).

But the parlay aspect should calculate each new bet as a new bet with the winnings from the prior bet.

So you bet $100 on the +100 and you net $200, then it's x7 on the +700 bet resulting in $1400 winning.

No. Either they all hit or it's a loss. The probability of +100, +700, +whatever, and so on would need to be calculated. Normally I would do that, but two hours before the game? You fucking Canadians.

I'll get right on it and give you the actual odds.

The truth is that all of these odds hitting will add up to a huge number. +100,000? Who knows.

So this parlay essentially becomes a long shot lottery ticket to win the contest. Kinda gay and goes against the spirit of the contest. I am going to have to reject this parlay or any such parlays.

I should have the same odds and opportunity to get rich as any other man walking into a casino, rich or poor!

I also assumed Bookie Byte would just automatically calculate the parlay for you.

I will give you +4000 for these four to hit. @Deus Irae


It will be in the game odds betting.
 
Good evening @everyone

Just a quick update. The Sports book is taking a brief hiatus. The off-season betting will begin again perhaps as soon as next week. SB square winners will be paid then as well. The celebratory banners for Beers are coming. He is royalty on this forum now as the inaugural Lord Champion.

Off-season betting will have the following to look forward to...

1. You all will get your starting bank roll next week. I hope.
2. There will be NO welfare payments, so don't fucking go all in. This runs thru August.
3. Random games and random sports will be available each week. Major betting opportunities will be posted for March Madness, NFL Draft in April, NBA and NHL playoffs. UFC, etc.
4. The top finishers at the end of August will earn substantial bonus bucks for 2025 NFL Betting Contest! You are managing your bankroll this off-season to give yourself an advantage for the 2nd annual football contest. This is big.
5. I will periodically offer money this off-season for quality posts in the 153 forum. Participating in this forum will be rewarded!


More to come...

OK, so to be clear....whatever bankroll we receive must last us through August? (except for the page 153 bonuses)

There will not be a monthly stipend?

Correct. Your starting bank roll will be high, so there will be plenty of money for lots and lots of responsible betting. But we need to learn some self control too. Too many blew through their money knowing they'd get more in a week or two.

$2M should be a decent bank roll to get us through August if that's what we start with.

Are there any @jlaff rules?
 
@Beers gate has begun. I demand an audit. Each bet re-counted. This is bullshit. I know I won.
