Is something off on the Odds calculation? It seems to be showing 1.0 for every lower wagered team

No.

Example:
If the pickoff reads:
Iowa State: 1.0
Kansas State: 5.8

For every $1.0 bet on Iowa State, if Iowa State wins, the wagerer wins $5.8 and receives $6.8 back.
For every $5.8 bet on Kansas State, if Kansas State wins, the wagerer wins $1.0 and receives $6.8 back.

Some teams have not been bet on so the odds are not true there.

Ah I wasn't understanding how to read the odds. That makes sense, thanks!

I love this game, it seems I can excel for 2-3 weeks in a row and then get skunked. My goal every year has been to be even with those who just collect the 10k every week and never bet.

I dont think I have achieved it much, if at all. Definitely my favorite game.

the odds change as folks bet, they sometimes change dramatically right before kickoff

You are playing against your fellow TexAg participants, and they will jack with you at times

Which is why it's best to wait to bet… but don't f up like me last few years and wait too late.

Each game locks at the kickoff of each individual game, correct? So you can make wagers for early games, but wait until closer to kickoff of the later games?

I used to think that but last few years after saving and double checking my last minute picks I came back later to find them not set.

Are you suppose to spend all the 10k or what you don't use rolls over.

First time signing up.

Curious, anyone remember what the approx bankroll of the winner at the end of the season usually is? I assume there's maybe 13 weeks, so $130,000 for anyone who places no bets. What's 1st place usually at?

$200k? I'm assuming it's way higher than that.
$500k?

I want to say it's usually close to 2MM if memory serves correctly

What does the winner get other than bragging rights?

A trophy icon next to your username. In other words, more bragging rights

Although I won a few years back and never got my trophy icon

It prevents me from actually putting any real money on games. I will climb into the top 25 then at some point get slammed back to earth and finish the season at breakeven or worse.

I have an amazing knack for being on the wrong side of major upsets.

Such a fun way to enjoy the games without selling off any more of my children.

Is the results posting all manual effort? Why does it take so long? I know, I'm impatient. Fun competition though!

Usually takes 24-48 hours after last game.
