Please Read - Basic Game Information
The Betting Week:
Each betting week will begin on Tuesday and
end with the final game played on the following Monday night. Please note
– this DOES NOT mean that you can place bets the entire week. The betting
week basically controls the way your bank of points is “batched”. When you log in
on a given new week, the ending day and time of the betting window will be
at the top of your screen. Please also note that all times listed on the site are
Pacific times. The typical week will have a close time of 3pm Pacific time
each Thursday. The web site WILL NOT allow you to place picks after the deadline!!!!
This is a change from past game operation! You will NO LONGER be able to
e-mail the commissioner if you miss the deadline with late picks!!!!! The website
does this automatically, so get your picks in on time!!! If you miss 4 weeks of
picks, you will be disqualified. Once the pick deadline has passed you will then
be able to see all of the picks made by all players for that week. Each week you
will only be able to wager a grand total of the point amount in your bank at the
start of that week spread across teams. All totals will be updated and current by
the next Tuesday and the betting week will start again.
What the website doesn’t know:
The website DOES NOT know what teams
are playing in a given week, who is playing whom, or the lines. It merely tracks
teams, wagers, wins, losses, points and statistics. This means that you can bet
on a team that is not playing or a team that has a NL (No Line) for that week. PLEASE
not do this. NL means that you cannot pick that game for that week, it DOES NOT
mean that the teams are even. The line will read “even” in those cases. If you make
the mistake of betting an NL game, or you bet on a team that is not playing in a
given week, THE GAME WILL BE MARKED AS A LOSS AND YOU WILL LOSE THE FULL POINT
VALUE OF YOUR BET.
Key changes from old format:
The biggest change is probably this: In past years
ALL of your picks for a given week, had to be submitted at one time. This
is no longer the case. As long as the betting window is open you can come and go
as you please, adding or deleting picks as you please. The key affect of this will
be when there are games that take place BEFORE the window closes - i.e. Tuesday
and Wednesday night games. You will now be able to place bets on those games and
then come back and add or subtract bets after that game has taken place. You WILL
NOT be able to delete that wager if you lost it, OR add that wager after
the game has kicked off. But remember if you play a Tuesday night game and hit it,
the winnings from that game WILL NOT be added to your bank and will not be
available for wager until the current week closes and totals have been updated.
Other changes include additional statistics which are viewable by individual and
for the league as a whole. Individual statistics are only viewable for yourself,
NOT for other individual players in the game.
The website is the only way to play. You cannot
email picks in, or have them keyed for you by the commissioner. If you do not have
access to the internet and the website www.nogamblingallowed.com then you should not play.
Issues:
Any issues encountered can be discussed with the league
commissioner by sending an email to mike@nogamblingallowed.com
