Spreads are how much the experts expect a team to beat another team by.

I forgot to mention that if you really want to, you can bet an extra share on a team if you want to win some more shares. Say that there are 4 shares placed on a team, with 4 donors. If you bet 2 shares on a team, then you will act as 2 donors, receiving more shares from the pot of shares for the 2 teams. If you lose though, you lose all shares you betted.

Do you think you could post all bets right before the game (when no more bets can be made)? Or maybe just the odds (like 5 for Temple, 4 for Wyoming).

NPR, can you explain that 5-0 stuff? And maybe keep track of how many shares people won.
|
|
|
Post by NPR on Dec 18, 2011 10:36:51 GMT -6
Sure. Do you want me to post shares won for people right here in the thread? The odds show how many shares were bet on what teams. For example: 5 shares were bet on Temple, while none were bet on Wyoming.

Post by Erniewan on Dec 18, 2011 10:44:04 GMT -6
Hmm, posting the number of bets for each side works, maybe also a calculation on how much was won per share (like if 6 were in the pot, but 5 on the winning side, then each share won 0.2). Then you could post a list of all the people playing (or I can if you want me to do the math) and we can see how much money we have.
P.S. Both Kat and I bet on Wyoming, so those numbers can't be right.... check again.

Here is how many shares everybody has won so far. These totals include the shares you had placed on the games. The number to the right of your share total is how many correct picks you have so far.
