This challenge stretches into tomorrow and ends at 8pm on Sunday night. Tonight you have the option of taking the night off or doing some research. You are being given a theoretical $100. You will also be given the betting odds for every football game that starts at 1pm or 4:20-30pm tomorrow. You may bet on the Over/Under for the game (Over or Under how many points Vegas thinks will be scored), The moneyline (odds Vegas sets on who will win), and the spread (how many points Vegas thinks the favorite will win by or the underdog will lose by). Each of these things and each game will have different odds and it will be up to you to gamble your theoretical money in the best way. Obviously more risky bets have higher payouts.
Betting: You may put your 100 dollars all on one thing, two 50 dollar bets or you may split your 100 into 5 bets of 20 dollars each. Any other number will make it difficult for the hosts to figure out payouts so the bet just won’t count if it's not one of those three denominations.
Parlays: You may also do Parlays. Parlays are when instead of betting on five different things, you bet on that all 5 will happen (that works for two things as well). Parlays will produce the greatest payouts if constructed correctly but they are also the least likely thing to happen so play at your own accord.
Payout: This will be a part of your job to research but I'll give you the basics. First of all, if you win a bet, you get your money back. If you bet 100 dollars on something that's +200 odds, you'd make 200 dollars and get your 100 back. +350 would make you 350 dollars. The +'s are easy to calculate but unlikely to happen and have the higher payouts. If you bet 100 on something that is -200 odds, you'd get your 100 back and make 50 dollars. -300 odds you'd make 33 dollars. -400 odds you'd make 25 and -500 you'd make 20.
Feel free to ask questions!

Also are we able to do bets of $10, or is it strictly $20, $50, $100.
Also do we need to continue fire tonight?
All Camp tasks are done until 12 am unless Kim says I'm wrong, and just 20, 50 and 100, if everyone did 10 dollar bets tomorrow would be horrible for me lol
