Arizona Stuns World Champions with Epic Formula 1 Thriller!
One born every minute! But is it you, or the SnakePit casino?
As is tradition, once again we open the doors to the Snakepit Casino, in which you get to test your knowledge, skill and – let’s not kid ourselves here – blind luck against the best odds-makers in the Valley. Or when they’re not available, me. Will the D-backs improve on last year’s 80win total?
Will they make the post-season? Beginning on March 26, we will start to learn the answer to those questions. But for now, you can sell the notional family silver and place your hypothetical bets, in the hope of perhaps winning some imaginary wagers, and taking home some non-real gains.
How it works I’m bankrolling each of you with S$1,500 in SnakePit Dollars [actual value 0. 00000000000001 cents], which you can divide up and wager on the lines as you think fit. I’ll accept entries up until the first pitch on Opening Day.
In an “over/under” bet, a sports book will set a number, and bettors can choose on which side of that number the actual result will fall. The most common such is the total points in an NFL game, but it can be run on just about any sporting statistic. If you win, you get double your money [actually, it’s typically a shade less than double, the difference being the house edge, but we’ll just say double for our purposes here].
