Each of our wagerers begins the season with $10,000. Each of them must wager a minimum of 10% of their bankroll every week and may not wager more than 50%. Each must select a minumim of three bets with no maximum on lines or point totals.
Here’s how they performed week one and their remaining balances:
Colin
NY Jets (-5.5) VS Oakland $500 (-500)
Chicago (-7) VS Buffalo $500 (-500)
Carolina (+2) @ Tampa Bay $250 (+250)
San Diego (+3) @ Arizona $250 (-250)
San Diego VS Arizona OVER 45 $100(-100)
Total: -1100. Balance: 8900

At Chicago -7 Buffalo ($250) (-250)

Total: -2000. Balance: 8000
Scott

KC -3 for 500$ (-1000)

Clearly, all of our wageres are going to need to slow it down (and make better bets) if they wish to last the year. Scott Stafford was the only one to earn a profit in week one.
