I thought that would have been obvious from the thread title?

Well even if there's no scripted system in place, I'm fine with that. Anyone that wants in on these lines just needs to reply.

Curious, where did you come up with the "Max" figures? Cos they seem pretty low.

I don't know jack anything about the simleague at this point, so unfortunately I will not be putting any lines on at this time.

I did some calculations to try to figure out what kind of bets I could afford to lose. I don't have a huge bankroll of points right now, so I don't want to get in over my head. Doesn't appear anyone is taking any lines anyway, so I guess it won't matter.
