Todays games:

• 12/15/20 BOS@PHI
• 12/15/20 GSW@SAC

Upcoming games:

• 12/17/20 GSW@SAC
• 12/18/20 BRK@BOS

I assume everyone betting today and not listing the date or opponent are simply just betting on today's game, correct?

Like the old sitcom, "One Day at a Time".

You don't know what your future bankroll will be.

Yes my bet was for today

You don't know what your future bankroll will be.

But since you don't have to be on any game, your bet of Boston could be for the 18th against BRK instead of the Philly game. I am good saying that you either have to only bet on today's games but I don't think that was one of the (written or unwritten) rules.

Maybe Cap can clarify that. I'm betting on one day at a time. But I did put the date in my bet.

First of all, if somebody posts a bet without specifying a date, that’s presumed shorthand for “today.”

As for betting on future games when you don’t know what your bankroll will be, there are a couple of ways to handle it.

One is that we treat it like multiple games on the same day: the sum of outstanding bets cannot exceed your stake. So if you have $1000 and bet $500 on today’s game, you can’t bet more than $500 on tomorrow’s game.

Another is that you express future dates’ bets as percentages of your stake. E.g., “I have $1000 and bet $500 on today’s game and 50% of tomorrow’s stake on tomorrow’s game.” Tomorrow’s bet will turn into a $750 bet or $250 bet depending on how today works out.

Since we’re all doing our own bookkeeping, I’m inclined to allow flexibility. As long as nobody complains that you’re doing something ill-defined or unfair, it’s all good.

My bet was for today.

We haven’t said what the overall winner gets.

Preseason winner gets a kudos from me.
