For now, there are two things which you can bet minerals on.
NFL GamesThe schedule for all games can be found
here.
The site I am currently using for the spread is
BookMaker.
You can bet on a team to win, as well as bet on the over/under.
Basic Info
If you are new to betting, you may look at the previous link and be thinking "omg numbers, how do they work?!"
If you're betting on a team to win, there is a point spread. This means that one team is favored to win, and that team must win by a certain number of points for you to win a bet on them. If they win but don't cover the spread, bets on the losing team payout instead.
If you're betting on the over/under, there is a total score. At the end up the game, the score for both teams is added together and compared to the total score you bet on. "Over" bets win when the actual combined score is higher, and "under" bets win when it is lower.
At the previously linked site, this is where you can find that information:
In this example, Green Bay is favored by 4 1/2 points. That means that, as far as your bet is concerned, they have 4 1/2 points subtracted from their score. This is indicated by the minus sign in front of the "4 1/2" across from Green Bay. If they only win by 4 points, the winning bets will be those on New Orleans.
Also, the over/under here is 48. That means if the combined score of both teams at the end of the game is higher than 48, bets for "over" will win. If it is lower than 48, bets for "under" will win.
I will use the odds listed at the time of the game, not at the time of your bet.
Take note of the "Next" button on the right side of the image, this is how you bring up subsequent games.
- All bets must be exactly 21 minerals.
- You must send the minerals before making a bet.
- Bets can be placed via PM or posting in the thread.
- Bets can be changed or canceled up until the game starts.
- You can make as many simultaneous bets as you want.
A bet of
21 minerals will payout
41 minerals.
Details
The initial bet is 20 minerals plus a 1 mineral vig, which is returned to you if you win. The payout is the full doubled amount of your initial bet plus the 1 mineral vig back. This payout is significantly better than what is used in real life.
RouletteThe site I am currently using to determine the outcome is
Castle Casino.
The spins are done live and everyone can see them.
- All bets must be exactly 20 minerals.
- You must send the minerals before making a bet.
- Bets can be placed via posting in the thread.
- Bets can be changed or canceled up until notice is given.
- You can make up to 2 simultaneous bets.
An even-money bet of
20 minerals will payout
40 minerals.
Details
The initial bet is 20 minerals, and the payout changes depending on which area of the board you bet on. All odds and payouts are identical to those used in real life.
I will give notice of which spin will be used to determine the results at least 30 minutes before the spin, unless someone who bet is online at the same time as me and wishes it to be done immediately.
Betting limits may increase over time, and prior notice will be given if other information (payouts, sites, etc) will be changed.
For easier access, the link to send minerals is
here.
