Playoff Games Intro

Hello again fantasy people and welcome to the new guys. Last year I did a little Fantasy Playoff thing much like a regular season Fantasy league in that you picked players, hoped they did good, and hoped they made it to the Super Bowl. Brandon T. took home 1st last year as the only one who took H. Nicks. Anyways, this year I wanted to take a break from the individual player performances and hopefully come up with something most people will enjoy while still having a vested interest in the playoffs since the Steelers are done. So, I saw something similar late in the NFL season, made some adjustments and came up with the following. If you have ever gambled or made bets online before this should come very easy to you… if not, it still shouldn’t be difficult, but I am always here to answer questions.



Starters and Basics

  • All players will start with the same bankroll of 775 Credits.
  • You can make straight (line or over/uner), parleys, or teaser bets.
  • Minimum bet is 25 Credits.
  • First Round Maximum bet is 50 Credits.
  • Second Round Maximum bet is 50 Credits.
  • Conference Championships Maximum bet is 75 Credits.
  • Super Bowl Maximum bet is 100 Credits.
  • If at any point you fall to 0 (Zero) credits, you are eliminated.
  • All players must start with 1 bonus “Futures” bet for 25 credits.
  • All players must reach a minimum of each type of bet.
  • If the minimum number of bets is not reached for a round, you will be disqualified.
  • Once the minimum is reached, all players are allowed to make more bets for the round.
  • All odds will be taken from Sportsbook Thursday before the weekend games.
  • Even if the odds change on Friday/Saturday/Sunday we will keep the posted Thursday odds.



Deadlines and Bets

  • All bets will lock 10 minutes before the scheduled kick-off time.
  • The deadline for new bets or adjusting bets will be also 10 minutes before the scheduled kick-off time.
  • You can make bets via calling me, texting me, or emailing me.
  • Anything text/call/email with a time-stamp after the deadline will be disregarded.



Minimums

  • 1 Straight bet (Spread or Over/Under) per game, 11 total.
  • 3 Parlays (any number of teams).
  • 1 Teaser (any number of teams and 1 of the three addition options).
  • 1 Futures Bet before the first round.



Extra Betting Rules

  • You may not make a duplicate bet.
    • This means an exact duplicate… you can include something that you have a straight wager for
      in a parlay, but you cannot make two straight bets on the same line.
  • Parlays and teasers can be open, but weekly only.
    • You may have an open ended parlay Saturday for the Sunday games.
    • You can not have an open ended parlay from one round to the next.
  • All bets will be kept from the rest of the players until game start.
    • The type and number of bets will be displayed prior to
    • For parlays, bet info will be released as games lock.

example: if someone puts a 3 team parlay in
what will be given before: NAME, TYPE, NUMBER OF TEAMS
what will be given after each game locks: BET PLACED (team and spread or over/under)
what will be given once all games involved in the bet lock: VALUE

*NOTE: I am not always at my computer and I am guessing some bets will come in late so I will do my best to update this as soon as I can, but it might not always be in the most timely manor. However, All of the above information is available by request if I have not updated it on time.
