Thoughts? Ideas? Complaints? I locked the rules so there wasn't discussion there, and we could talk here!

I was thinking, in order to entice bets we could include handicaps. Liek, celtics might never bet a game. But if I gave them Cetlics +20 against Nets? They might take that

can we add conditions to the bets? Like I'd only accept PJ's bet if our teams are completely healthy at THAT point of the sim

hahaha that's funny.......kinda cool idea though
the only problem i see is it gives a huge unfair cash advantage to the top teams that win 60 games every year unless i missed something

I mean i would have to challenege all the lotto teams and if they don't play then i could lose out on some serious dough because the top t3eams are betting.

So for instance if I post nets over celtics the celtics have to actually accept the bet. And then they'd be losing $100 and I'd be gaining $100. You're putting up your own money in this. So the amount of game a team wins shouldn't matter. All that matter is that both teams accept the posted bet. And the bet can only be between those two teams. And again, no one is going to put up $100 and give it away to a good team. They're going to make bets they think they can win. Like the original warriors @ pelicans bet. That's a game between two top teams. If I post a wizards challenge you're going to say hell no and not accept. Wel, then I don't get any money. Only on accepted bets will the Winner get it. Did that explain it?

As long as both sides agree, you can come up with your own points...like you say I want +15 against nets and I say no way too high. Let's go +10. And you accept. Ok well I have to win by 11. Win by 10 is a push. And if I win by 9 or less or lose you would get the bet. I think this would help lower teams challenge better teams. But also, there's only one bet per sim. So I ant make a wizards +10 bet then bet against the heat if I play the me same sim. I'd have to wait until the next sim to bet. So every team would only have 17 possible bets per season. And they'd be better their OWN money. So after I beat the heat twice he may say forget it no more bets. Or maybe I don't play anyone I like a by with. I personally don't think this will change much. I see maybe a handful of bets a year per team if that. Like when I play the pacers and wipe the floor with them.

lol giving some spread points is a good idea though that makes it interesting it should also be taken in account who is playing at home so in your nets vs wiz scenario if we were playing at your place i think +10 would be to low maybe +13 i see what your saying though.
before you start them you should have people post in a thread who is actually willing to be challenged?
