Where is the Kintucky betting action?

[Zambo]

For the life of me I'm still trying to figure out how to navigate through this sportsbook thingy. We've got a sportsbook section of the forum that seems to take you to the sportsbook section which is different than the forum but has all the same threads, and then there is the betting exchange thingy which seems different than the sportsbook somehow, maybe head to head bets rather than general outcome bets? And no rhyme or reason to the way bets are organized, with cfb and nfl bets all jumbled together somehow? Where the hell do we go to put down bets on Kintucky?

Send me your debit card # and pin number & I'll be glad to help.

 

[Zambo]

Do you need the cvv code and my social as well?

 

[itsgr82bag8r]

If it's not too much hassle, it would probably make the transaction go smoother.....

 

[itsgr82bag8r]

Otherwise, you & I both are kinda' lost on the sportsbook thingy.

There is a User's Guide and you, or anyone, is more than able to start an Event. You can create all the outcomes you want under that Event.

As for viewing, it is a little weird. When you create an Event, you choose a category, like Gator Football or NCAA Football or NFL but I haven't figured out how to sort the viewing.

Ok I guess I just figured that by now someone else or a mod would have created the Kintucky game. What I didn't want to do was create an event for the Kintucky game and then have someone point out that there is already a place to put bets on the Kintucky game. Has there been any thought that letting anyone create events would lead to a complete goat fvk jamboree to navigate? Perhaps users should suggest events and then be free to only create outcomes within the event after a mod has created the event. This goes along with the way we merge threads that follow the same topic in order to keep the board readable and uncluttered.

PM goon. He's so confident that we will lose that he's taking $250 bets on KY and he doesn't even want the points.

I have ever intention to create said Event for the game however, I'm off with my family. Since you are itching to lay a wager, I'm simply suggesting you can start it yourself.

The idea of goat fücking jamboree Events were addressed in the User's Guide as well. They'll just be deleted.

 

[Zambo]

All right well I just went thru all the steps to create an event, hit save, and its not there. Now I'm wondering do I try again and possibly create the same event twice, or did I just mess something up? I guess I'll try again and you can delete it if it winds up being a multiple post.

 

[Zambo]

Ok well twice now I have created an event titled Gators vs Kentucky and neither one shows up that I can see. F it.

 

[Zambo]

Well somehow NV created the event. Thanks. I just notice that the sportsbook cash figure under you avatar goes down when you make a bet. I'd figure that it would only go down if you lose the bet. Really what it amounts to is money still available to wager and isn't indicative of how well you're doing overall. Is there a way to sort members by $$$ to see who is winning?

I browsed, but realized I didn't want to waste a couple of hours trying to figure the SOB out. I'll keep my $1,000 and cash it in at the end of the season.

You'll probably end of with more money than anyone.

The figure under your avatar is you bank. When you win bets, it will add to that pot. In addition, it gets auto-refilled once a week.

 

[Zambo]

Yes I saw it go up after the bets were settled, and now that I've placed bets on this weekend it is back down even though the games haven't been played yet.

In the members list, we can sort the members based on several criteria. Perhaps there is a way to add "bank" to the list.

Betting against the Gators is bad karma. Steve Spurrier and Louis Oliver will come to your house, break a raw egg on your forehead, and re-possess all of your Gator memorabilia.

Well, your bank would deplete if you placed bets in Vegas until you won so that makes sense.

Ox said that there would be a Top 5 Winners showing regularly but maybe it won't till after the 1st week? I use my phone 99.9% of the time so it doesn't show as much.
