Check out these two actual bets about Bengals players getting arrested: (from Bodog)

Will a Cincinnati Bengal's player be arrested before the Superbowl?

Yes +300

No -500

Which side of the ball will the Bengals next arrest come from?

Offense -130

Defense -110

[Glenn]

^damn, would have been easy money, CB was arrested the night that I posted this

3 to 1 odds, too

[Glenn]

I can't believe that I just bet on both the Knicks and MSU.

Bleh.

[Fool]

If I started with 500 'pacas, made one bet for 499 'pacas, which I won, why do I have 1023 'pacas?

[WTFchris]

I think there is a glitch with the system. i lost all my alpacas last contest and got 25 new ones the next day. Somehow this must be giving people 25 free alpacas. Maybe Matt can look into this (I think he is sick right now though).

[Glenn]

A glitch in the "charity mode" feature of the program.

We've shut it off now, so if you run out, you're out. (until we reset at the start of the next contest).

Fool, if you are going to win the contest, please do it by more than 25.

[Fool]

Since my goal was to get 999 'pacas, I guess I'll just have to make 9999. That should take care of the fairness issue as well.

[CindyKate]

never mind, i think i figured the thing out.
i'm stupid.

[MikeMyers]

Just a general request but can we please get the bets up a little earlier in the day.

[WTFchris]

we'll try. keep in mind the odds don't come out until that day, so we can't post them days ahead. Usually Glenn or I get them up by the afternoon to make sure people can bet before leaving work.
