Well, it is football season again
 

Over at PTP TP (thats a lot of P's and T's) brought up the old life tilt of mine from a couple years ago and it got me thinking about betting football again this year.

I honestly can't remember the last bet I placed.

Those that have been here for a while probably remember my explosion.

For those who weren't, or don't remember, here's the Cliff notes:

I was a decent handicapper for a number of years, started posting plays here and a few people made some decent money, I wen't on a bad streak betting, playing poker and in life and I decided to bet my entire roll on one game. Of course that game lost (by half a point) and I was on suicide watch for a while.

I'm hoping I am at least a bit more mature now, though that is up for debate. If anyone is interested in discussing games, either college or pro let me know. I would still enjoy the challenge of beating the lines.

I don't think I will place a bet this year, but it would be fun talking about it.

Any interest?

It was a Missouri game IIRC, right?

I bet pro football $10 a game mostly on bodog.I think Week 1 has alot of easy games
Let me know what you think.:thumbsup:

Usally I like to build my roll a little at a time then I take the profits if any and bet crazy superbowl props:donkey

Yes, and thanks to TP for opening up that old wound.

Yeah I remember it too. You were on such a streak that anyone that faded your picks was making some nice coin. That money was a lot less fun to make.

Football season....

i remember it was Mizzou game I was at and it was like a last minute TD or field goal that didn't really matter, and i was thinking wow that dude is gonna be super pissed lol


Let's do a $20 fantasy football league?

I had my annual fantasy football auction today... it's one of my favorite days of the year. I've been in this league for 12 years now, I think. It's the best league I've ever been in: 12 teams, auction style, carryovers, contracts, a great scoring system that has been tweaked over the years, the works.

Back on topic: Betting on sports always makes them way more fun, so I'd love to see a season long Penguinfan thread with your "Lock of the Week." Let's see how you do over the season. I think that would be great.

Yes. Anyone else?

Im in

I'd be in, especially if it's a simple league, like that salary cap one we did a couple of years ago.

Let's get it going then, more people will join for sure. someone set it up by today and I'll ship u $5

I created a league but I can't figure out how to create a salary cap league. Maybe it's not available this year?

I'm down with head to head, if that's ok with everyone else. League ID is 842108/password=kcchiefs.

I did default on most things but passing yards i changed from 25 to 50yds per point. Rushing and receiving yards I changed from 10 to 15yds per point. Let me know if anything needs tweaked as I've only played for three years and not up to par on nuances.

Edit: I set live online draft for Saturday, 9-7-09 at 7pm. This can easily be changed for anyone in need.

sounds good, i wont make the live draft if its sat. but i can pre-rank players i guess

Thats the link for the salary cap type league we had last year. I already have a team in another group there but created another one if anyone wants to get in it. I am down to throw some cash on it as well no matter how many people join.

Group id is 5613 and pw is tpftpf.

Ok Jilla, sounds good. I'll delete the league I created. We don't have to worry about draft with salary cap. I'm good for $20 no matter how many entrants as well. Sound good JD? Who else wants to play for second place with us? :cheers::D

I see we have 5 people in there. What is everyones teams name? Who should we ship the money to? If TP doesn't want to hold it I guess I can. Though it isn't as much fun when I win to ship myself money.

I'm RushNAttack again.

Should probably repost this in its own thread to see if there are a few who didn't see it in here?

I agree that this should be it's own thread to get more interest.

I'm gonna pass on playing this year. I have a lot going on and want to focus on my main fantasy league without distractions. :)

GL though guys, and have fun!
