Welcome to Tapology's game for all you gambling addicts out there! This game was thought up and brought to you by Wolfmanhowl so we can all thank him for this awesome game! I would also like to shout out CashBrewyn for coming up with the formula to calculate the wins in the spreadsheet, as well as R1zla for designing our kick ass championship belt that you see below. If you have any interest in joining contact myself or Wolfman.

just a one time thing. we can wager on the five college football BCS bowls

 

Notre dame vs Bama. right now its  +9 for the irish

Kansas state vs Oregon. right now  + 5 for KSU

Stanford vs Wisconsin. +7 wisky

Florida state vs Louisville// + 15 for the cardinals

Florida vs Northern Illinois// + 16.5 for the huskies.

 

you don't have to wager on  these and i will personally keep track of totals for these five bowls. if you don't get the point spreads i will show you how they work. say florida state wins the game by a score of 31-17 but you had northern illinois huskies at  + 16.5 point. you would have covered the spread and if you put say 2200 on it you would have made 2000 profit. there is a 10 % vig on all college football point spreads 1100 to make 1000, 5500 to make 5000 etc, etc. any questions ask me.

What about the Glory 4 card, should be lines available and it is a combat sport.

So judging by the thumbs up/down I don't think anyone is happy about college football being added in here, also it doesn't make any sense. I know you started this thing and all but if no one wants it but you shouldn't the majority rule?

I think we should be able to bet on anything with a line

Breaux relax.  We only bet on Combat Sports mainly MMA in this game, but on occasion with big events we do bet on other sports.  Its not that big of a deal and it isnt anything that is a requirement to participate. You only have to bet UFC events if that is what you want to do.

Football isn't a combat sport and earlier wolfman said no could bet on boxing IN BOLD LETTERS! How does that make sense?

I'm not involved... so I'm an outsider looking in...

All I see is "Tapology Wagering League"... I don't see anything that would limit what you bet on... and I actually agree with @Wolf... if the only things you want to bet on are MMA fights... who cares if they add other stuff?  Like @Lopati says... if there is a line, a wagering league should be able to wager.  Just bet on the fights @mike... you'll prob win when all these guys lose their money betting on FB!

I could see that if Wolfman didn't say we couldn't bet on boxing earlier, but him personllay picking and choosing what we wager on as we go just cause he created this isn't fair. Also he says this is a one time thing so it's not like we're allowed to bet on anything we want. If you want to change the rules to we can bet on anything with a line then fine, but it shouldn't be up to him to choose whatever he feels like. Maybe we should have a vote or start another league where we can bet on anything I would join that aswell, just don't like the mma %99 of the time but then football in the middle, doesn't make sense.

It is a little strange to outlaw betting on boxing but toss in college football on a whim.

Frankly, wolfman and poir run this thing so I think they get to make those decisions. If you don't want to bet on something, then don't. If you want have a league where you can bet on anything you want, then make it. These games are a ton of work to run so please be appreciative.

It's funny I got down thumbed for saying

 "Football isn't a combat sport and earlier wolfman said no could bet on boxing IN BOLD LETTERS! How does that make sense?"

What about that statement isn't true?

actually I'm wrong saying "wolfman said no could bet on boxing " is a downable offense!
