Miami Dolphins Vs New England Patriots

[Nublar7]

Miami won its fourth straight game as the Dolphins improved to 6-4 on the season. The last time Miami was 6-4 during a regular season was 2003. Now, the AFC East's second place Dolphins ends its three home game stretch with a matchup against the AFC East's third place New England Patriots. As you all recall, Miami destroyed the Patriots 38-13 in a week 3 matchup up in Foxborro. Can Miami really sweep the Patriots for the first time since the 2000 season?

As you can see, there have been some changes(per requests) as to how the betting works. Good luck to everyone on this week's VBookie event. :head2head:

what if bellicheck wears a cut off sleeves sweat shirt? would that count?

 

[dolfan94]

I like the chances of Bellichick wearing a sweatshirt because of the current cold front which will last a week

1000 - New England covers the spread
100 - Miami gets kickoff
300 - Porter gets at least .5 of a sack
1000 - Cassel throws for over 270
300 - Henne throws a pass
300 - Belicheck wears a sweatshirt.

My bets did not go well last week, hopefully they go better this week.

1000 on Miami covering
500 on Porter getting at least .5 sack
500 on Cassel throwing for over 270
100 on Belicheat wearing a sweatshirt***

what if bellicheck wears a cut off sleeves sweat shirt? would that count?

*** Totally valid point. Would this be a win?

Must be on during the game. CBS will show Bill Belichick a few times during the game on the sideline. If he had one on during any of those shots, it counts. If he has one on during the first quarter but takes it off for the next three quarters, it still counts.

Also, if it is a sweatshirt with sleeves cut off, I will still count it.

Hey NUbs, TY for all your efforts! I mentioned this in the last weeks Dolphin/Raiders thread, but not sure if you saw it. I was hoping you could make a Futures thread, year ending stats! .......something like. (just examples)(example odds)
Miami makes the playoffs ? 3-1

Miami wins 10+ games 3-1

Ronnie 1000+ yards 6-1

Cammy 85+ recepetions 4-1

Dolphins Win AFC 25-1

Dolphins win SB 40-1

Joey Porter 20+ sacks 4-1

just some ideas here, but there are so many more!

I will have to think about that. Something like that would have been great back in August before the season started. Betting for something like that could only happen like one week since there are only 6 games left.

actually, you can change the odds week by week. People will got locked into their bets. Ask Wildbill, he did it for the election. Some people got locked in a 2-1 and some got in when he changed the odds the last week of the election!

Yes, I could change the odds, but I don't think it would be fair for people who would say bet today on the Dolphins to make the playoff with 10-1 odds, then change the odds going into week 17 to 2-1.

It would have been nice event if I started it around May and had it run through the last preseason game. Locked in everybodys bet before the season, then payout after it.

 

[rainmaker1313]

sure it would be fair, the odds change in Vegas from week to week

If the Dolphins are 4-1 to make the playoffs this week and they win this week, the odds go down to 3-1. If they lose the odds go up to 5-1 (example) Whats not fair about that???

If you get payed out by the odds you placed then it would be fair. But if it got changed and you got payed less it wouldn't be fair.

What would be the point of placing a bet with a 40-1 chance of happening then only get payed a 2-1 winnings as it got closer to actually happening.

If you get paid by the odds you placed (at that time) it would be fair. If you don't then it is completely bogus.

 

[rainmaker1313]

NO, you get locked in as you make the bets
If Nubs did this preseason and had Miami 50-1 to make the playoffs, you get 50-1 if you made a bet prior to season. if this week, the odds are 5-1 and you bet before Sunday, you are locked in a 5-1, if they win the next 2 games and the odds are then dropped to 3-1, the people who bet that week are locked in at 3-1. The others still get their 50-1 or 5-1 or whatever the odds are at the time of the bet
have you guys ever bet on line before or in Vegas?? Im a little surprised at these remarks??????
