SIM 12 BETTING IS CURRENTLY OPEN
Odds updated 1/29/16.

Hey everyone! I'm gonna start up a RBSL casino to liven up the regular season a bit. I'm going to post MVP, Western playoff champ, Eastern playoff champ, and League playoff champ title odds, as well as a Game of the Sim where I post a game line to bet on. Payouts will come from the bank, and lost money disappears into the ether.

Rules:
-Betting IS NOT ALWAYS OPEN. I will manually post when betting during a sim can take place. This is so I can look at the results of each new sim and make sure the odds are totally fucked. For example, if Bogdan gets cracks his skull next sim, everyone's MVP odds need to come down. If betting is always open, someone could jump in and bet on the next favorite at much higher odds than it should be. Look for the status of season betting at the top of this post. You can always bet on the Game of the Sim.
-$100 maximum bet per category
-1 bet per category
-I may update odds at any time during the season. Your odds are locked in at whatever they were when you made the bet.
-If you bet on yourself and then make a giant blockbuster trade, I reserve the right to undo your bet to avoid insider trading scenarios. This also applies if you bet on someone and make a blockbuster trade with them where they get good players. You can always re-bet once the odds are updated.
-Post your bet in the thread for accountability's sake.
-Chris still has purview over all of this; if he sees something totally wrong, unfair, etc. he can step in and take what he feels to be appropriate action.

Bring it 6'ers!  When I crush you by +5, maybe you and your wannabe Eastern Conference contenders will better understand that all the power sits in the West!  Let's get some fuckin' bets here! ... like if your starting SF will get over 0.5 STLs/game this year!  I GOT MORE!  Let's do this!

Fendi is going to be the first one banned for Pete Rosing.

I reserve the right to punish anyone who bets against themselves and then tanks a DC.  Actually, I think you just shouldn't be able to bet against yourself to remove this problem.  Thoughts?

Probably shouldn't bet on a game you're involved in to avoid drama.
To make sure everyone is always included (with previous statement in mind), maybe post 2 lines per sim instead of 1 - giving everyone a chance to place a bet.

I have no problem with betting on yourself unless someone can give me a good reason.

There's no reason, probably realistically could allow betting against yourself but its just cleaner to forbid betting against your own team. If you think the odds are bad, don't bet.

Also grats Raps and Rockets! The Rockets won 101-92, winning outright. Both of you get your $100 back and another $100 on top! This will be one more place I'll check when I do team bank updates (which I am admittedly behind on).

I'm fine with you betting on yourself unless the odds were ridiculously stupid.
