Default CPHL Pro-Line/Props Playoff Betting

For the playoffs we are starting a pro-line and props format of betting system for people interested.

Here is how it breaks down:
  • Each GM starts with $200 of virtual money.
  • Each GM can place bets on a combination of pro-line and props (minimum 3) each day before the games.
  • Joe will take care posting the odds each night.
  • MAX bet of $20 per day
  • You can pick a combo of each (2 props, 1 pro-line) (3 pro lines, no props) etc.
  • GMs must place a minimum of 10 bets for them to qualify for the prize
  • Once you are finished with your $200, you are sadly out.
For those not familiar with these betting systems here is how it works:
PRO-LINE:
Each GM will place a minimum of 3 bets (combo of pro-line and props if you want) where the odds, number of bets, and dollar amount will factor into your potential winnings.

EXAMPLE:
PHI (1.3) vs WAS (3.2)
COL (1.8) vs PHO (2.8)
STL (1.5) vs CLB (2.7)
I place a $20 bet
Odds total: 5.8
# of picks: 3

1.3 * 1.8 * 2.7 * 20 = 126.36

PROPS:
Similar to above (same formula) but this time we pick players. Whoever gets more points in that game wins.
Example:
Jeff Carter (2.2) vs Tomas Flieshmann (2.2) vs Tie (3.3)
Chris Drury (2.1) vs TJ Oshie (2.4) vs Tie (3.3)
David Perron (1.8) vs Ales Hemsky (2.0) vs Tie (3.3)
$20 bet
Odds total: 6.1
# of picks: 3
2.2 * 2.1 * 1.8 * 20 = $116.32

Here is for formula:
Odds on 1st pick * Odds on 2nd pick * Odds on 3rd pick, etc. * wager

The Catch:
You must correctly pick all 3, 1 incorrect results in a loss of "money".

PRIZE:
1st - 1.5 million
2nd - 750K
3rd - 500K

Copy of Future Considerations to the winner as well. This magazine will help a ton for the draft.

All Bets MUST be posted a minimum 30 minutes before games are posted!!

Any Questions?

I won't lie. I've never once in my life done sports betting. What do the numbers in the brackets mean?

@Mango

It is the odds of them winning. For example if Philly is at 1.5 for every 1 dollar you spend, you get 50 cents if you win.

@MJK

It is a digital copy

I've played a little sports select, although I hate giving away money so gambling isn't my thing in that respect. I also remember a couple of years ago when HD kept track of our predictions and how pathetic I was at that!

Just to get an idea of the payouts if you win:
COL - 76.50
FLA - 132.60
WAS - 158.40
PHI - 2595.84
ANA - 192.00
NJ - 112.20
VAN - 128.70
SJ - 187.20
EDM - 290.4

Don't let the potential winnings for PHI scare you off. He has to get all 5 picks correct.
