Sportscenter: The Fun New Gambling Game for Kids!

Hello.

Welcome to Sportscenter!

The game is simple: you have a thousand dollars. Each day, you can check this thread for the odds and bet on whatever sporting event you want. Try and have as much money as you possibly can.

(I have infinite money.)

All you need to do to get your grand is place your first bet. (For instance, until the All-Star game starts, somebody could bet 120$ on the National League and, because the odds are 112/100, their returns would be 134.40$.

Other bets will include larger bets, like "Who will win the Stanley Cup this season?" etc..

I will be hosting bets on soccer games (especially if you request it.) NFl, CFL, NBA, NHL and MLB games, as well as any other sport there is a demand for.

I also encourage you to do private bets with your dollars, as I can do any private transaction for you if you send me a PM with, "I lost a bet, send 40$ to kkstrong".


And Go!

Can I put $200 on something as ambiguous as the Cardinals winning the NL Central?

If so, so.

I can't do NL Central, but I could do the NL Championship.

I've taken that bet, added odds for the National Rugby League (Those and my league baseball odds will run until Friday) and added the CFL game tonight.

EDIT: And would anybody be interested in a golf wager? Tiger has been feeling good about this week, I hear.

Added. I won't post the odds for each player, but if anybody wants to vote on golf, you likely have favorites.

Since nobody but me watches Canadian Football, I could cheat on the bet I've made, but I probably won't.

Also updated the odds for the Baseball schedule tomorrow.

Color me confused, but does this
Texas Rangers (100/103) vs. Boston Red Sox (100/103)
mean that betting on either team actually loses you about 2.9% of your bet if they win? (And of course you lose all if they lose)

Are you referring to the game in October? Because I will wait to take the bet so that the odds are a bit closer.

Do you know any sports? Or are you just being pointless in my thread?

No, at this point you'd need to bet on the championship.

I can't find odds on that game.
