Alright Im opening up this thread for you guys to express your opinion on anything. If you feel there needs to be a rule change or something you would like to see differently. let it be heard up in here. lets try get anything we dont like figured out before we start up the next month. that way we dont have to change things as we are actively betting.

Thought: What about having 1 day a month that is a double down day? It can be the same day each month or something like that to make sure everyone knows it is coming.
Can be an easy way to make up ground or can fall back pretty good on that day too.

It'd have to be 2 days a month since this is a bi-monthly payout. I'm down but I say we make it like.. Saturday. Saturday has the most action usually. I say make it the second and last Saturday of every month cause that makes it the tail end of the betting for late sprints in the last few days before it resets.
My 2 cents, anyway.

I like the idea of having a day where you can "double down." I think this should be done one of two ways. First, since we are doing our challenges on 15 day increments, I think the double down day should be on day 7 or 8 out of 15. Reason for this is to avoid the double down at the tail end of the challenge. Personally I feel that it would be gayer than aids if you had the lead at the end of a challenge and got screwed by a "special play" day because of extra units earned (there is a potential 4+ unit swing we are talking about here for one day). Also, since there is such a potentially huge swing, you will need a few days to try and recover from that. Therefore the middle of the challenge would solve these issues. Second, since we already have "reduced juice fridays" we could make something like a "two unit tuesdays" or something like that. this way it will be easy to remember. anyways, I feel we should try out one of those routes and if it doesnt work out we can do it the other way the following month. or if someone has a better idea im always all ears..

Another issue we are going to have to address is the fact that a big majority of our members here will be taking a leave for a vegas trip in march. i know for a fact i will not be coherent enough to keep up with all this stat keeping so i think we will have to take "a break" from action during March 15-19. My solution: We can do a $10/person challenge for Mar 1-Mar 14. then do a $10 or $20/person challenge during Mar 20- Apr 15. OR, we could just do an entire March month challenge (like we did for February) and have that be $20/person. let me know what you guys prefer

I should make one thing clear about my previous post. If we did an entire March month challenge, we would omit the days Mar 15-19...those would be considered a break from action...

Co-sign on the double down idea and for having it not at the end of the 2 weeks. If we end up doing it, you could do it on the 2nd Tuesday of each challenge block. That way there is still Wed-Sun for a leader to make up ground they possibly lost to a big long shot hitting on Tues and it would keep in tune with "Two unit Tuesday." As for March, since a majority of us will be drunker than piss and throwing around enough money the 15th-19th, I would vote to keep the first 2 weeks intact and do the 1st-14th and then just start the 2nd challenge on the 20th and have it go thru the 31st. So it will be 11 days instead of 15 and still just do $20 for the month. That way April will start on time and we'll only be missing 5 days outta 31. Go Irish.

Aye to Two unit Tues & 11 day challenge.
I also propose adding 1 grenade (put it terms for the COD fags):
This is a 2 team combo pick (a parlay) in which you combine 2, and only two, teams into 1 pick. You can throw your grenade at anytime, but you only get 1 per challenge. Both teams must qualify under standard rules and you use sportsbook's lines and payout. A standard 2 team parlay is 2.6/1 (13/5) odds. You cannot use the grenade on Two unit Tuesday.
Aye press 1 Nay press 2

Okay this is good. So to summarize everything we need to make decisions on thus far, we have: 1. Addition of 4-5 new members 2. Our March challenge format (due to the vegas vacation) 3. Double down day (ie. laying down 2 units instead of one). So far for ideas we have: a) assign it to a certain day of the week in the challenge (second Tuesday or Saturday) b) have it everyday Tuesday. c) assign it to the 7th or 8th day in each respective challenge. However, we should avoid doing 2 unit bets on reduced juice fridays. 4. "Grenades." you are dumb, you are really really dumb. This would be unavailable on whatever we decide for our two unit play day and on reduced juice fridays. also, it would be restricted to spreads only so that odds would always be the same. money lines and over/unders have varying odds and this would be impossible for me to varify payouts. A parlay of two -110 odded games would pay out 2.6 units. we would stick to that.
keep the ideas coming. we will have to start voting on these issues soon so that we can have them set in stone by March 1st.

I like the two unit Tuesdays - 2nd Tuesday of challenge option
Not all about the grenade option - i think that would complicate things a little too much right now. having to keep track of who used it and to make sure we only use spreads to ensure odds are the same.
since you dbags are going to Vegas and I am not....I'm willing to accommodate your schedules for the month of March.
I am down with more members - but do we increase payout numbers to top 3?

There is a parlay calculator on vegasinsider to make the Grenade calculations. Works pretty slick actually. Klein could make a category on the spreadsheet citing whether you have used the 'grenade' or not. Should be easy to track. www.vegasinsider.com/parlay-calculator/

My thoughts: 1 - The more the merrier, help dilute B's lame-ness. If we wanted to extend payouts to top 3 that is fine by me (though if this month is any indication of things to come I will not be getting paid either way). 2 - I honestly vote we do an entire month of march and exclude the days you will be in Vegas for simplicity. 3 - I vote every Tuesday for simplicity. 4 - No parlays, for the sake of...wait for it...simplicity.
