If your play would have lost, you would have been -1.30.

This is standard gambling practice.

**Seaweed** · 05-26-13, 11:02 PM

Russia, excellent job. I am currently in first and crusing towards the title.

I say before it's not too late, we start track the units in the right way...where you would end up with +0.9 units for tonight and baller with +0.7

otherwise you're both tied right now, even though your play was more risky

Heat-0.5 1H -110 (5dimes)
Heat/Pacers largest lead over 14 -145 (5dimes)

5dimes is A+ rated so that should work just fine.

Seto 2-0, +2 Units or +1.45?

At what would've happened if they both lost? They would be tied in the standings, doing it your way.

no, yours is more risky...you don't lay more chalk for more risky play

correct, because each one bet a unit

**Russian Rocket** · 05-26-13, 11:12 PM

like baller said- nothing is stopping you guys now from going and starting to pick -140 games instead of -110...it would gain u one unit regardless
with my rules the payout would be less attractive for bigger favorites

**The Giant** · 05-26-13, 11:12 PM

So, if someone takes a -450 ML favorite, and someone else takes a -110 play, if they both lose, you think they should be tied?

**Seaweed** · 05-26-13, 11:13 PM

Russia, in your proposed way if one bets a -400 line and loses they will only be down 1 unit.

if you guys want to play by your rules, then you would have to preset a limit for bankroll. so if I wanna win a unit on -400 fav, I would have to bet 4 units.
...and if my bankroll is only 20units deep, then I could only make 5 of those type of plays

**Seaweed** · 05-26-13, 11:19 PM

Smoke 2-4 total,

**The Giant** · 05-26-13, 11:21 PM

I'll let you guys figure it out. I'm getting a headache. Good luck.

**Russian Rocket** · 05-26-13, 11:21 PM

so he's now -2 on the Units?
see what I mean? look at the games he took...+123...-110...he should be up 1.23 and 0.90 units on these plays

**Ballerholic** · 05-26-13, 11:22 PM

Russia these guys don't understand our advanced mindset...I don't know how either. Fine then, I'll play my -1000 plays and probably never loose. Maybe I'll take heat +30 next game for -28000 but as long as I don't lose I'm fine

Russia, starting with bankrolls would have been a good idea but that's too late. It's fine how it is now. Sure betting -400 fav may be an easier way to reach 1 unit, but losing will put you in a hole of -4units.

that's right...but it is not to late to grade the wagers correctly as I purposed...so your wager for today would net you 0.90 units

**Seaweed** · 05-26-13, 11:28 PM

We should set limits though. My proposed limit was -120 but you guys said no because smoke already took -130. Russia, what do you think we should do?

**Russian Rocket** · 05-26-13, 11:29 PM

Weeder update the table how you think is right...and I'll check in tomorrow

Baller simmer down, you know you can't do that. We are going by Russia's units. It avoids betting huge favorites.

**Russian Rocket** · 05-26-13, 11:33 PM

ok I'll fix the table tomorrow...but you guys need to check it for any errors

example of grading would be:

if you bet -110 and won, you get +0.90 units
if you bet -110 and lost, you get -1.00 units
if you bet +110 and won, you get +1.10 units
if you bet +110 and lost, you get -1.00 units

it always would be a 1 unit bet...at the end of the tournament you would need to make 30 one unit bets

**Seaweed** · 05-26-13, 11:33 PM

Russia. We are going with your way. It's the fairest to all. Please make the adjusments when you can.

I Like it!

**Ballerholic** · 05-26-13, 11:36 PM

Wtf I proposed this new system.... And it's seaweed .91 units me .77 units

Also weed, how would -120 or lower work? Only nba which is every 2 days and the occasional baseball game

**Russian Rocket** · 05-26-13, 11:37 PM

also keep on posting the game results, because I don't watch baseball and rarely follow basketball

where are you getting extra .01 and .07 from? am I missing something?

**Seaweed** · 05-26-13, 11:38 PM

Russia wil update the table tomorrow. I am currently at 100% (1-0) +.90 Units.

Which is why the idea never gained any success

It's all settled now, we are going with the Russian system.
