We will use a computer script to grade the bets. That will save me time.

In order for that to work well enough, I need you to post your bets in the same format as these examples:
$100 Ohio State -20
100$ Ohio State -20
$100 Indiana +20
$100 Ohio State -2000
$100 Ohio State / Indiana Over
100$ Ohio State / Indiana u58
100$ Ohio State / Indiana under 58
$200 parlay
Georgia Tech +3
Florida State +225
$100 Indiana +1250

^^^ In the above example, the parlay is for two bets GT and FSU, the Indiana bet is separate and for $100. Feel free to space things as you like as long as the parsing is obvious.

He may have more than 400 on WVU, can't remember how that used to be decided.

Yeah, you are right.

@Akinji07
you can put up maximum $400 on WVU +165 even across multiple bets/parlays

though, you can put up another $400 on WVU +4 ;)

Why are you such a snitching bitch?

Technically it's not $400 on WVU since the $400 bet is on 3 teams for each parlay.
