Week Two-Read the Instructions Carefully

About half of the posts did not follow the instructions. So read the below. If you fail to follow the instructions this week, you will be eliminated.

All plays must be in the same thread at the same time. You cannot bet the early game and then the late. If you did this last week, only count your first thread. If you do it any further, your plays are forfeited. 

If you go to zero, you are eliminated. 

You must post your bankroll. I will be checking periodocally. If you are incorrect in your total and it impacts placings, you will forfeit any prizes. 

All lines are -110 except for moneylines which are the actual lines. 

Each player has a $1000 bankroll. You can play any amount and any amount of games. The lines are from oddshark, recently acquired by Covers. The link is below. The lines we use are KALSHI (us the link below and they are to the right of the opening line. 

1) All of your plays must be made at the same time and you must state the line. Any side, moneyline, or total from oddshark. First half lines are allowed. Obviously, because of this rule, no second half or in game bets. There are no parlays. All plays, except money lines, are -110.

2) Once you post your plays, there are no changes. No exceptions. Just like when making a play online, you need to make sure your play and the amounts are accurate before posting. 

3) You may not exceed your bankroll (obviously).

4) When you post your plays, you must also post the line. This is to ensure the line is accurate based on when you posted your play. So, use the below example.

Alabama -27.5 550/500

Georgia over 65.5 220/200

UCLA +5 220/200

5) Each week, there will be a new thread. When you post your play, you must state your current bankroll. At the end of the contest, I will go back to ensure accuracy. You must do this each week. 

6) Use the link below to get the lines. 

7) The last week of the season, all plays will be done by email so that others cannot see the play and the amount. 

This is an exciting contest. Make sure to thank Myles and Covers for this generosity.

 When I click on the link Bet MGM, Bet 365, Draft Kings, Fanduel, Fanatics, Bet Rivers, Caesars are the only lines that show up. Which one should I use. Thanks

@book1525

 With all due respect....Why Don't you make it easy for the moderator and post 1100/1000  which from the instructions is how i think he wants it done ( don't want you to get disqualified).....and btw where did you get your line from Kalshi?...i don't see it when i click the link.

@oneg

 same problem here.

@djbrow

 so if everyone goes to ncaa sores and matchups on covers, are those the oddshark lines? 

***Click on the link the moderator supplied.

Go to "Odds" on the right side of the page.

Click on 'NCAAF Odds".

Whoomp, there it is!

@djbrow 

Sorry to be a pain, but you still don't seem to have addressed what myself and some others are saying we are seeing.  If this is user error, I sincerely apologize for wasting your time. 

I am clicking the link you provided (https://www.covers.com/oddsshark), I click NCAAF odds on the right side, I am brought to an odds page with ONLY these books, Bet MGM, Bet 365, Draft Kings, Fanduel, Fanatics, Bet Rivers, Caesars.  There is no Kalshi. Immediately to the right of the Opening line, for me, is BetMGM. 

I do see the below message at the top of the Odds screen, so maybe it has to do with certain states why users are seeing differences?? I am still unclear what I need to be using for the contest even after your rules reposted in this thread and your replies in last week's thread. Please help. Thanks again

@djbrow

 So we can use any lines we  want? On the page from your link? Why don't you be specific about what lines to use..

Link to the betting lines please. 
This is NOT it: https://www.covers.com/oddsshark
Did you mean this? https://www.covers.com/sport/football/ncaaf/odds

I know an nfl bankroll contest was just started and it states in that one to use DraftKing lines.   I can only assume this would apply for the ncaa contest as well, but would love to see confirmation.

balance=1909

1) Iowa st +14.5 1100-1000

2) South Florida +3.5 809-735

Everyone. 

Yes, that is the link to the lines. Once you are there, you simply go to NCAA Football lines and they appear. They are also here. 

KALSHI are the ones we use

https://www.covers.com/sport/football/ncaaf/odds

Tried that link. still nothing.

tell us where to get the kalshi lines......do we have to sign up with kalshi...do a screen shot or something for how it is supposed to look...does it look different on phone and desktop?  why can't we click on your new link?   THis seems hopeless...nice try.

$1909

All in 

Byu -7.5 $1909/$1735.45

@djbrow

 You keep saying "simply go here" and reposting a link, and multiple of us have continued to say we DO NOT have Kalshi lines available to us, and you are not addressing that point.

I really don't know what else to do at this point. I get its a free contest and don't want to sound so frustrated, but I was looking forward to it. I will post my picks this week with DraftKings which is consistent with what I did last week, and with the NFL contest. If you kick me out, so be it. I'd much prefer you acknowledge that many of us don't have Kalshi available (maybe due to specific states, just a guess) and you switch the contest to use DK so everyone can participate but understand if there is a reason you must use Kalshi. 

GL to all

All these people have to do is click on the link provided and then NCAA FB lines. the top lines available are from Kalshi.  There is no need to leave this site to find lines.  

https://www.covers.com/sport/football/ncaaf/odds

No lines from Kalshi come up. I live in AZ. Don`t know if that matters.

@IamDog

 this is basically what some people are seeing when they click the link you posted.    What are the top lines you are talking about ...you mean the best lines available?...some line at the top?  It is evident people are seeing 2 different pages...There is a banner at the top with Kalshi logo but you have to go to their site and log in etc..  Kalshi i think is banned in ohio as not sanctified sportsbook. I can't get a screen shot to work so this was a copy and paste. If you have a screen shot we would really like to see it.
