Should we bet on a spread?

[BossRoss]

should we be betting on a spread system or just win/lose?

[s13curtis]

no, what we could do is you have a choice to pick the winner, a choice to pick the spread, or a choice to bet on the over/under. That's more what I was implying, but I didn't really say that.

sounds way to complicated for this site. its hard enough gettin daivid to set up this weeks games and hand out winnings the way it is.

How exactly does the spread and over under thing work anyway?

Couldn't you just pick the team you want to win and make the spread so that they have to win by less than a million points? Or is the spread something that you don't get to pick?

[BossRoss]

see. we havent even started it yet and you're already confused. just keep it simple pick winner/loser

until more people get involved I i can't justify playing with program that your wanting is available for download. I had it on my desktop somewhere. I attempted to install it but with everything else thats loaded on this board it caused some massive havoc. I'm sure i could figure it out but i'd guess it's a good days' work on my end to sort out the mess. I spent 4 hours last time playing with it and finally gave up and installed the casino. With that said for right now i'm gonna leave it the way it is... manually loading games is already a pain ni the ass let alone setting up the spread... For right now, i'm just gonna leave it... more people get involved then we can look into it...

"spread system, have to pick the winner and by how much" - BossRoss

That's not exactly how the spread system works...Vegas sets a line on a game, like say Denver -9 Against Green Bay, meaning that Denver is expected to beat GB by at least 9 points. You're not even picking the winner, all that you pick is if Green Bay will cover the spread(losing by less than 9), or if Denver will win by more than 9 pts.
