place your bets.

pick as few or as many teams as you want, you have $3200 to bet with.
(Ute, if you're feeling feisty, I think there is a credit system built into VB that would be really cool here)

betting $100 on each team is one way to guarantee not winding up with $0 at the end... but probably you won't come out first on the list of winners either. and that's the goal.

I fully expect to see WHIP's moniker sitting firmly atop this list. side betting on who will win this is allowed, btw.

I'm gonna take my time before placing my bets, but if you have questions about this....

Is it an extra expense? Or just one of those things that if you enable it/add it you'll have to cast additional spells each time you update or maintain this behemoth?

Okay, knowing nothing about American football, I will go with the names I like.
Pretty much what I do for the Grand National.

Of course given my druthers I'd take the $3200 and use it to come to America with!

$800 on Green Bay Packers
$800 on Philadelphia Eagles
$600 on New Orleans Saints
$300 on Chicago Bears
$400 on Cincinnati Bengals
$300 on Carolina Panthers

I'm taking my $3,200 and spending it on booze, hookers and drugs. Because gambling is wrong.

$967 on Carolina Panthers @ 50-1 = $48350
$1000 on Houston Texans @ 12-1 = $12000
$333 on Detroit Lions @ 18-1 = $6000
$300 on Dallas Cowboys @ 20-1 = $6000
$300 on New York Jets @ 20-1 = $6.000
$200 on Cincinnati Bengals @ 30-1 =$6000
$100 on Oakland Raiders @ 60-1 = $6000

Although each way is the way to go, and even more so, division winners.
The minimum amount of money should be placed on the superbowl winner.
Double that on the finalist.
Times 10 on division winner.

The maximum amount of money should be placed on the bet that is most likely to happen.
