The rules are simple. Just bet on who you think will win one or more given game(s). We're
not sophisticated enough to use point spreads, over / unders, etc. The more games you bet on, the
bigger the payoff...But beware, you must win all of your games, or you don't get squat!
At the end of the regular season, we'll come up with some cheap prize to give to the
person with the most credits. (Note the word "cheap." It's not in there by mistake!)
The Rules in a nutshell:
- Each player gets a starting bank of 1000 credits.
- Your wager covers all of the games you've bet on. (For example, if you bet 25 credits on three
games, your total bet is 25 credits...not 75.)
- After the first week's play, an additional 100 credits will be deposited in each player's account each week. (Just in case you blow all your money on a "sure thing.")
- Wager amounts are deducted from your account at the time of your bet.
- Once bets are submitted, they cannot be changed.
- Bets will not be accepted after 1 hour before the published start time of the first game played in a given week. (Thursday - Sunday, depending on the NFL's schedule.).
- Players can bet on from 1 to 10 games per week.
- If a player loses at least one game, that entire week's bet is lost.
- Exception: If a player bets on more than one game and LOSES all of the games, the bet will be counted as a winning bet. (AKA: The Abysmal Betting Bonus Rule)
The following is the payoff/odds matrix:

Games Won

| | | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
| Games Bet |
1 | 0 | 1 | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - |

2 | 3 | 0 | 3 | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - |

9 | 80 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 80 | - |
| |
10 | 99 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 99 |
The payoffs work like this:
If you bet 10 credits on one game and win that game, you'll get your winnings (10)
plus your original bet back (10) for a total of 20 credits. If you bet on 5 games
and win all 5, you'll get your winnings (240) plus your original bet (10) for a total
of 250 credits.
