The reason why so many are out already isn't because the minimum bet is too high. Quite the opposite in fact. Half the Panel is out because they bet substantially MORE than the minimum and didn't have the superior picking ability to back it up. Unless you are picking at a high clip (like @novagator at 62%) big betting is going to sink you...
Reminds me of that drinking game we used to play called "Century Club" in the frat at UF. The object was to drink a shot of beer every minute on the minute for 100 minutes. If you do the math, it comes to 12.5 beers in an hour and 40 minutes. I could never make it to 100

One thought occurs- I’m not sure if your spreadsheet can handle negatives but if it can you could give the real bookie experience and see how deep some of us can go.
I am number two having placed conservative bets the whole season. I think it’s time to go all in on the gators. lol
Most people will just bet the way they normally do. But some will bet less at first until they have a better understanding of which teams are for real, and which ones are the pretenders. I can change my strategy, as I do almost every year.
Lol... fixed it, but some people are trading 'pints' for points too during some games... especially the Gators' games.
You might be good this week with UF +22.5…rivalry, pesky Gators, and a potential trap game for UGA with #3 Tennessee looming.
I had a 9 game losing streak at one point, but have improved enough to get to 6th. After the UK debacle, I vowed to not take the Gators again. I have gained points going against them, however. It's been a rough year for every poster, except for Nova, who must do this for a living.
That was a fun ride, Realty and gang! Thanks for letting me satisfy my fix as well as remind me why I shouldn’t be gambling in the first place. Lol! Cheers and good luck to the rest of you.
