S81 mPT #1: All Bets Are Off Due: Sunday, February 23rd @ 11:59 PM PST

Not really big into gambling, but if it's going to remain a part of this league, it may as well mirror what people enjoy about irl hockey betting. Weekly betting options for specific players to get goals, points, assists etc.

I’d say, remove the limits on how much you can bet, or raise it at the least. But I think we could add more betting, like if a certain goalie would get a shut out, or if a player will score a hatty. Otherwise let’s remove it, it’s boring as it is currently

I think it could be cool if you could bet on players point and goal totals at the start of the season. Bet on a breakout season or some star to crash out would be a cool addition.

It would be cool to be able to bet on player's individual stats! Like set over/unders for certain player's point totals or defensive stats or something along those lines.

I think weekly primetime odds making could be fun. It'd be tough because of how large the variance can be for some of these games, but puck line bets could be fun.

Honestly, it would be nice to receive weekly bets and potentially pay outs from the casino. Other than that, I can't really think of anything that needs to be changed regarding it.

Considering there aren't many things missing from the casino, probably the most obvious choice would be to be able to bet on player's on a weekly basis. Who's gonna score, who's gonna be the most influental and so on.

As far as the casino goes, I think it should have options similar to real life gambling, including over under for goals and games threads or if that becomes too complicated just an overall that each week of if a team will win over or under a certain amount of games that week.

The league does not give us the opportunity to bet on individual award winners, I would love to take the opportunity to put my life savings on a random guy was 200 to 1 odds. Or just take the safe picks

I think a few years ago I would be in favour of keeping the casino. However, the rise of sports betting everywhere (and all those darn commercials) has really soured me on it. I don't think it's a great idea any longer as it's easy to feel left out and miss easy money if you don't want to participate. Plus I've gained appreciation for people with addictions and gambling addiction is very real and dangerous.

I think having small stakes over/under bets for players points (like shots, plus minus, etc) would be fun to bet on. Good for us stat nerds but low stakes enough that it's really just for funsies and an extra chirp or two's worth of money for the week. Something like a $200-400k payout.

I think the season betting is just too long of a timeframe. I could be much more inclined to do weekly betting where I can get instant gratification and appreciate the money that I've lost or gained. We are already predicting all kinds of primetime / hat trick action, so maybe just be able to throw down a wager as part of that.

I would like to bet on how high the NEW count will go until it is ruined. Then we could also bet on who will ruin the count. Most likely it will be @Popol
