Very simple. $50 to play.

Each player is given $1,000 in fictional money to wager on the MLB Playoffs, from the start of the Divisional Series through the conclusion of the World Series. You can bet as frequently or infrequently as you like, with the following guidelines.

~Minimum bet $50
~Maximum bet $500
~Must place a minimum of 10 bets and at least $1,000 in total wagers throughout the course of the entire playoffs

Whoever has the most cash left at the end of the World Series is our winner, and takes down the entire kitty. You run out of cash, obviously, you're out. No rebuys.

We'll use the lines from http://www.USAToday.com the day of the games. You can mail entry fee to me (PM for address) or PayPal it to me at richswerb@gmail.com.

Post all picks in here. Picks must be timestamped no later than the official start time of the game.

Odds for tomorrow's games ....

Tampa/Texas is off the board right now. Looks like Maddon and the Rays are scrapping Niemann in favor of mega-prospect Matt Moore in game one despite the fact he's only pitched 9 innings at the big league level.

Sure we'll see a line on this game early tomorrow morning. Game starts at 5:05 PM.

Night game ...

8:35 PM

Detroit Tigers (Verlander) +112
NY Yankees (Sabathia) -132

by **swerb** » Fri Sep 30, 2011 6:18 am

Here we go ... day one:

5:05 PM

Tampa Bay Rays (Moore) +160
Texas Rangers (Wilson) -180

8:35 PM

Detroit Tigers (Verlander) +112
NY Yankees (Sabathia) -132

$500 on the Texas Rangers

by **tappi** » Fri Sep 30, 2011 3:48 pm

Texas Rangers to the bank! Dont believe the hype, exhaustion setting in. CJ with 30 Buffs in 112 AB's vs this lineup. Tampa has a .151 Career Batting average against with a .527 OPS? Those are Rey Ordonez numbers. Young phenom Moore k's 7, but also walks 5 and only last 4 innings. Taxed bullpen of TB then taken to task.

$555 on Texas in Game 1.

Ah. Gotcha, forgot about the $500. So max bet is not $500? It is actually max loss is $500 per game? Cause max bet of $500 would actually be $900/$500
