Welcome to the Official Armor Games Betting League (otherwise known as the AGBL). Here is where we bet on sports events in leagues such as:

NHL
NFL
CFL
NBA
MLB
Barclays Premier League
Serie A
Tennis
and more (possibly sports, or other random things) !!!

Here is where you will find the current standings and information about AGBL. There are seperate threads in which you can bet. Do not bet in this thread! This thread is only for standings.

When you signup for the AGBL, you will receive 10,000 VP (Virtual Points). You can bet your virtual points on events posted. Rules:

1. You may only bet:
up to 50% of your VP per event on normal events
up to 70% of your VP on playoff events (IE: playoffs in the NHL, etc.)
up to 90% of your VP on championships (IE: Stanley Cup Finals, Super Bowl) etc.

2. You must bet before the posted deadline! The deadlines will be in PST: Pacific Standard Time.

3. No cheating!

There could possibly be a merit prize in the future. I'm not saying there is one... I'm saying there might be one in the future if we get lots of members.

The AGBL is currently run by shayneii (me). I will post events to bet on, and tally standings of VP. I will be the only poster of standings, to avoid disputes. Have no fear, I'm taking Math 12 :P

With that, I'll leave you with a link on where to sign up.

Have fun!

Cool. What do we do when we run out of money, if we run out?

Remember that at max you can only bet 90% of your VP per day! I forgot to add that. This way you should never run out.

There is a tennis tournament going on next week. That could be a start.

Okay. Will compile a list for the next two days.

@TSL: You make VP by winning bets, you double the VP you bet if you win. If you lose the bet, you lose the VP you bet.

IE: you bet 150 VP on the Steelers to win. If they win, you get your 150 VP back, plus another 150 VP.

If you lose, you lose the 150 VP that you bet.

I'm not joining purely because I don't have the time, but I would be willing to place a hefty sum on Chelsea winning the Prem, and Super Tottenham cracking into the top 4.

I think odds could be used for certain games, such as championships. Just saying.

Good idea. I will get odds for championships only. To do it for all games is just too much work... and calculating wins would be confusing...
