This Thread is for discussions on the Gambling aspect of the Lost Vegas Div-T Tournament of Champions.

If you have any questions or want to consult each other on picks / strategies here is the place to do so.

You may also ask our group Bookie Grom the Goblin his opinions, and ask him about rules and such not.

You can also ask Leisure Suit Barry questions, but his knowledge of gambling is minimal, but he could tell you where to get the best strawberry daquiri in Lost Vegas.

the weekly King of Lost Vegas standings will also be posted in this thread.

Greetz all! Grom here.

Lots of coaches lost lots of money betting the favorite to cover and the over on TDs in this game, somewhere around -70K LVTs for the group.

1. Roaming Rampaging Rapids 3 - Custard Pie Raiders 1

Only one sharp bet for 1000 LVTs picked the dog to cover. Lots made money on the Cas O/U tho as there were 11 casualties in this game!

Grom Out!

Greetz all! Grom Here,

Now that six games have been played, I'm here to let you boyz who ain't bet yet know what da trendz are!

Favorites are 6-0 as straight up winners and 5-1 winners versus the spread.

Unders lead Overs in TD O/U 4-2

Overs lead Unders in Cas O/U 4-2

Be interesting to see if these trends stick true, or maybe we'll see if some of the Dogs can take a bite of the favorites.


On the King of Lost Vegas Standings (Gambling)

MorgluM is the big money winner so far this week. He plugged 25K each on Slotz n' Crapz and Troll Hunters to cover. He'll either end the week with 155K or 145K depending on how his last game goes.

Kheldar1982 has taken 10K, and will end this week in the money.

Now for the other side of things....

McCloud's dropped three bets this week for a loss of 8K so far.

Zwobot is also 0-3 so far and is down 5K.

Evolve to Anarchism is down 10K after picking the TD Over on Game 4.

m0nty is down 20K, he picked the Cas Under in Game 12 (that 7.5 was just too tempting i guess)

Sandune is down 10K, he picked the favorite to cover in game 8.

Most of the people in the red still have ample opportunity to get back to the black pending future results.

One Note: for those of you who failed to read the 5 game rule, I'm just using the first 5 games on the sheet (numeriacally speaking).

Grom Out!

What 5 game rule? This is what is still on the tourney fluff page:

The only rule is you can't pull a Pete Rose or a Shoeless Joe Jackson. In other words, you can't bet on your own team or on your opponent that week

That sucks, the bookies are trying to cheat me out of 40,000 LVTs by changing the rules on me after the fact. I call foul.

I understand you are upset, but I think we can't ask Bunny to do more then he does already now for the league. There was no time to contact all coaches and ask their bet's again, we also can't expect Bunny to be an admin 24x7 a week, so the rule was made. Some coaches have luck now that bets are discarted who they would heve lost, some other coaches will be disapointed since they lost some winnings.

You will survive this mean pre week random event from the commish Razz

When do the random events happen anyways?
