Rewards Ponts Book Update and input requested

[upinya83]

Just a couple reminders as far as the rewards points sportsbook goes

- Make sure to donate the points to me - if they dont get donated, the wager won't count - no exceptions.
- Make sure to post the line with your play, including the juice, ie "-115". Or make sure to post so I know what the juice is, ie "44 to win 40" Either way is fine.
- You dont have to put your play in as a message when donating the points - if you want to its fine, but just so ya know, posting it in the thread is sufficient.

Now a couple changes.

First, we are gonna allow halftime wagers on all NFL games. Feel free to make 1H and 2H wagers on any pro football game. Remember, there is a VERY small window for making a 2H wager, get it in AT LEAST 5 MINUTES before the start of the 2nd half. I'm going to have to spend more time checking timestamps on these wagers, so if I think its even CLOSE to the start of the 2nd half when you make your wager, it WILL NOT COUNT. This will be up to my discretion solely - so make sure you get them in in plenty of time.

College Football - we will allow 1H and 2H wagers on days other than Saturday. Same rules apply as with NFL 2H wagers. To be brutally honest, I dont want to spend the time to check halftimes on Saturdays - there's a hundred games to choose from, there should be enough wagers available to where we wont need halftime lines


And now - teasers. I've been asked a few times about allowing teasers. What we're gonna start with is just allowing one type of teaser. So would you rather do a 6 point teaser or a 7 point teaser for nfl?

6 point would pay:
2 team - 10/11
3 team - 9/5
4 team - 3/1
5 team - 9/2
6 team - 7/1

7 point would pay:
2 team - 10/13
3 team - 3/2
4 team - 2/1
5 team - 7/2
6 team - 5/1

which would you rather have available? is there a preference? If it works well, we can add more down the road, but to start with, lets just make one option available.

Thanks - any other input more than welcome here in this thread

I will vote for 7 point teasers DO YOU WANT US TO POST THE LINE WITH THE TEASER OR THE REGULAR SPREAD AND YOU WILL JUST ADD THE TEASER POINTS TO THE SPREAD?

[vikesfan]

Upinya please give us an example how you want us to post a 4 team 7 point teaser thanks.

I would prefer that you post the lines including the extra points - but if we just have one option available its okay either way as long as its specified that its a teaser.

lol - i have no idea what teaser lines are supposed to be cause i never play them

i copied & pasted those from betjam's site - i'll see if one of the other books we use for the rewards points book has better teaser odds

I don't play them either, but I am going to soon, but isn't a 6pt 2 team even money? Pretty sure 5dimes is

yep looks like it is and the odds are better at 5dimes, so we'll use their teaser lines instead

5dimes.com/sb_charts/TeasersChart.htm" target="_blank">5Dimes Sportsbook Wager Types

And we'll go with the ties reduce instead of ties win I think, unless anyones against it?

[Seanie Mac]

ties push is fine, books wanted more teaser players so added the teasers push, should be push a teaser side and lose...ah the old days

the 5 Dimes auto-link messed that link up - but if you copy/paste it into your browser, it should show 5dimes payout chart.

And no problem guys - thanks for being patient when im slow now and then updating or adding things, or paying out.

If a two-team teaser has a tie and a loser, the teaser loses.* You may have your account set up for "Vegas" teaser rules (a tie and a loser = a TIE).* This rule only applies to two-teaser options where tie selections are a push.* Any teaser, where ties automatically win or lose, does not apply for "Vegas" teaser rules.* By choosing this option, the account will not be eligible for bonuses of any kind.* Only teasers played AFTER choosing this option will apply for the "Vegas" rules.* Not all accounts will be eligible for this rule change.
