This is a daily betting thread in which I will take action on any game every day.
Accepted bets are: Moneyline (ML) and Over/Under (O/U) bets.
The lines that I will use are those from Westgate's current (closing) odds as listed by Vegas Insider:
http://www.vegasinsider.com/nhl/Example:
(Over/Under bets carry odds, which require an extra click to see. Click "line movement" link below the game you're betting on. Odds tend to vary from about -130 to +110 depending on how close the line is to increasing/decreasing)
You do not have to specify the odds or total goals. Simply writing TEAM ML or TEAM Over or Under is enough.
If you are betting the maximum amount on a given line, simply saying "max" in lieu of the amount is fine. Maximum parlay is always a 1000 wager regardless of payout.

• If you make a wager in my sportsbook thread, then you agree to all terms and conditions listed below. It's your job to read them
Comprehensive RulesSending Forum Gold• You do not have to send up-front for your bet, though you may do so if you want to. Sending up-front is auto-confirmed.
• NFL/NBA/MLB Welchers, 2018 accounts, and those listed in my profile may not participate, and any forum gold sent from these users will be considered a donation. If you have any questions about eligibility, ask before betting.
• It is your responsibility to calculate your loss and send your forum gold. I will not personally pm you how much you lost. Check my calculations after I post betting totals to see what you owe/are owed.
Formatting/Posting Your Bet• I auto-confirm all valid, confirmed bets posted in the thread.
• At a minimum, all bets must: be posted in-thread, include the amount you want to wager, and specify the team names.
• If you fail to confirm your bet, then we will both be on the honor system as far as payouts go. If you try to weasel out of payment, then I'll ban you from all future bookie, blind odds, and freeroll threads that I host.
When to Post Your Bet• All bets must be posted before the listed start time, and all edits must be made before start time.
• Example: If a game is listed at 1:00pm, a post or edit time-stamped at 1:01pm will be void.
• A post made before a game starts and then edited several minutes after the game has started will result in you being banned from participating, and any fg you sent up-front will be considered a donation.
• All listed times are EST.
Amount Per Bet• The maximum amount I will pay out on a negative line is 1,000
• The maximum amount you may wager on a positive line is 1,000
• The maximum amount you may wager on a parlay is 1,000
• If you say "max," then you are wagering one of these three totals
Parlay Rules• Parlays must have a minimum of
two valid picks and a clear wager amount (don't say "to win x"). If one line is invalid for whatever reason (such as if I am not taking bets on that game or the game already started), then the whole parlay is invalid.
• If a pick pushes, then the parlay will bump down one level (a 3-teamer becomes a 2-teamer, etc.)
• Parlays can win a maximum of 5,000 fg.
• A betting line can only be used once among all parlays.
• Parlays use the following calculator:
http://www.vegasinsider.com/parlay-calculator • You are welcome to combine NFL, NBA, and/or NHL games within one parlay (refer to my other threads for the day).
Mistakes & Typos• If you accidentally wager or send an amount of forum gold exceeding the amount that I do accept, then this will count as both sides confirming the maximum amount that I do accept. Any excess forum gold will be sent back after I pay out everyone else.
• Example: you wager 2,000 forum gold on the Panthers +2 -110; the auto-confirmed amount will be 1100 on the Panthers +2 at -110 to win 1,000.
• If you make a minor typo (such as an incorrect number, or a mixed-up +/-) then it will count as betting on the correct line for that game.
• Example: You accidentally write that you are betting on the Steelers +7 when the line is actually Steelers -7; the confirmed bet will be on Steelers -7. Alternately, if you accidentally write the Steelers -4, then the confirmed line will be Steelers -7.
• If you post or edit after the listed start time, then your bet is void.
Payouts• Payouts will not be sent until around midnight at the earliest, sometimes even late the next day. The "if you're logged on, then you must pay out immediately" rule does not apply to me in bookie threads.
• Payouts will be sent in FIFO (first in - first out) order.
• Max amount I can be held liable: all of my fg. If my losses exceed this amount, then all bets after the one that broke me (or could break me) will not be auto-confirmed. I will not calculate this amount before the day is over, so if it's late in the day and you're betting with me, you run the risk of having your bet unconfirmed or not paid out. Sending up-front does not affect this rule, though you will be refunded your wager amount.
The Final Rule• If you make a wager in my bookie thread, then you agree to the above terms and conditions
