The Winter Olympics Are Ready And Waiting
Written by Garion on February 11th, 2010 in Olympics.
Just a quick update on the newly added Winter Olympics.
Head to head bets are now available for the Men’s Downhill, Freestyle Skiing and Speed Skating on the 13th.
Just an update on how the betting figures are progressing, with around six hours to kick-off there are already an amazing 30,000 bets placed. With the rest of the days bets finishing hopefully it will be possible to at least double that amount.
Another update with 2 hours left before betting closes.
16,000 more bets and some support for New Orleans, Spread and Moneyline changed in their favor.
Betting has closed and there are 5000 more user bets than last years Superbowl.
Here we go again, it’s Superbowl time in less than a week and the two best teams will be playing in Superbowl XLIV. The Indianapolis Colts are currently a 6 point favorite over the New Orleans Saints.
Just like other sports I have posted the recent play-off betting figures below so we can all see how many people are betting on each games.
Wild Card
New York Jets versus Cincinnati Bengals (# Users: 24901)
Philadelphia Eagles versus Dallas Cowboys (# Users: 26914)
Baltimore Ravens versus New England Patriots (# Users: 25901)
Green Bay Packers versus Arizona Cardinals (# Users: 31167)
Divisional
Arizona Cardinals versus New Orleans Saints (# Users: 27575)
Baltimore Ravens versus Indianapolis Colts (# Users: 28687)
Dallas Cowboys versus Minnesota Vikings (# Users: 28642)
New York Jets versus San Diego Chargers (# Users: 33754)
Conference
New York Jets versus Indianapolis Colts (# Users: 36511)
Minnesota Vikings versus New Orleans Saints (# Users: 42196)
There has been an impressive average of over 30,000 users betting on each of the play-off games. It will be interesting to see if we can beat the 59,000 bets from last years Superbowl between Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals
College National Championship
Written by Garion on December 29th, 2009 in Football.
It’s that time again when we see the outcome of months of games and see who will be this years National Champions.
On the 7th January we will see two heavyweight unbeaten teams battle it out and claim College honors. Looking at today’s spread we see that Alabama are 4.5 point favorites over Texas.
It will be interesting to see if this years game beats the 51227 member bets from last years Florida win over Oklahoma.
Merry Christmas

600,000 Centsports Accounts
Written by Garion on December 2nd, 2009 in Uncategorized.
Centsports has now reached account 600,000 opened, it happened in the last week or so.
Who would have thought that Centsports would reach this figure when Victor started the site in 2007, though when you combine sports and the possibility to win free money you have a winning combination that a great deal of people will be attracted to.
Only time can tell if we will see the millionth account this time next year, we will just have to wait and see and continue have fun on the site and with the forum contests.

New V2 Feature Hide Pending Bets, Profile and Disable Comments
Written by Garion on October 28th, 2009 in CentSports Updates, New V2 Features, V2.
For those people that have been using V2 you may or may not have noticed some new options at the bottom of your “my account” page.
If you wish you now have the chance to limit the people that can view your profile page. It can be left open for Everyone to view or you can limit it to just Registered Users or even just your Centsports Friends.
Also for those that like to compete with their friends to see who is the better bettor now have the option to hide your pending bets so they can’t be copied. Like the profile options you have the choice of Everyone, Registered User, Friends or you can limit it to just you seeing your pending bets.
Finally you can also limit who can comment on your bets so you can stop the spam and trash talk on your bets. Again limit it to Registered Users, Friends or just you be able to comment.
These options will come into full effect when the final switch is made to V2, currently the options only work for those that use V2. Those still using V1 wont be limited with the new options so they can still see your bets, profile and make comments.
