I put that there only for clarity. Like when you’re evaluating bets, say you put $110 on something at -110 odds. You get back $210. The $110 original bet, plus the $100 you won. That was just my note that the number I was adding up in that instance included the $110 I was getting back. I took that gross wins number and subtracted the cost of the lost bets to generate a net, which is what counts.
FWIW, I’d just say anyone who enters the contest at any time can spend their futures dollars on their first post. Some of the bets will certainly disappear, but the odds will change as the season goes on, so it’s not like they get an advantage betting late.
Damn, I left my NFL stuff to the last minute, unexpectedly busy all through the night. I wanted to do more fun parlays and teasers but it looks like I’m just gonna have to stick to basic stuff this week.

Hey, maybe I don’t now totally suck at this! I was fortunate to get St. Louis when I did; at kickoff the spread was down to +4.
Can’t believe I didn’t wind up betting more on the SF/Sea under, which was by far my favorite bet of the week.

Wow, I did a lot better than I thought, thanks to hitting a home run on a big teaser. I’M BACK IN THE GAME!
I don’t know why I keep putting my football stuff up to the last minute, I’ve been crazy busy on weekends lately, but I’ll try to cram in some bets before the games.
