The points did reset for a first time this season. It will happen a 2nd time on Monday to give all members a chance to get the same amount of starting points due to the weekly PCM$, which are reset each Monday. So it doesn`t matter if you still claim them this weekend or not and also it won`t matter if you do so early on Monday before I did reset them.
After the 2nd reset all managers will have the same amount of points plus the chance to still get the weekly $, something which right now would be unfair due to limited time till the automatic weekly reset.
We will try to keep the betting a bit more consistent as in the past year. Surely there will be times of less bets, but ideally we can cover at least regular GC bets, whereas stage bets are always more optional as more time consuming and less easy to do timing wise as they have to be done in a very limited time window.
There won`t be a real schedule, which races are a must. But usually the biggest WT races are more likely to get some bets, so it might actually start with the Tour of Oman or Tour de la Provence on the 10th of February as next bigger events.
Though as always it all depends on the availability of admins at these times as also for complete startlists, which by a quick look is not yet available for Oman at least.
As general guideline, if the startlist in the end has changed between the bet and the race, we might void the bet in extreme cases, e.g. the favourites list changed too much so that the given odds here are not ideal. We won`t void a bet if the favourite list remains basically same but we just screwed up with the odds. This obviously is a chance for you then to go for some great odds.
As usual this will always be a case to decide handled by the admin team.
Last but not least good luck to all and may the best win (and obviously may the number of bets be higher than last year). |

Much looking forward to this. In the past I've been pretty terrible, and I know cycling worse than I did in years past since I played a lot of PCM then. I think the only year I did well from the bets themselves was by betting huge on Dan Martin for a monument. 
Nevertheless, I will once again give it my all. Looking forward to the embarrassment of being broke by April.

Betting is fully reset! Both RL & MG with the chance to get weekly $ from now on!
First real life bets might come next days, at the moment the startlists are far from finalized.
Watch out for some MG ones as well. |

The first 2 races are online with bets. I don`t plan to add stage bets for those yet, but in case I have time and can follow the races a bit, they might still happen.
Next races likely then Almeria, Andalucia and Algarve. UAE Tour likely the first, where I am going to try to have daily stage bets.
Also don`t forget about cunego`s MG bet on the Vuelta. |

I tend to void Almeria as Ackermann want at the start despite being the most popular option.
A bit unfortunate as I actually was on Kristoff. Not sure, who the other one on him was, but seeing my opening text above, I guess it's just fair to void it. |

I did, but only because I very rarely bet on a favorite. Not enough money to be made and early season I think anyone on the list has a shot.
More disappointed about Oman. Bet significantly on Masnada, and it looked like I was gonna cash out, but he cracked really hard in the end.

I did the opposite and just went Evenpoel and Lutsenko. Won't win big but hopefully nat least one of them will come off.

Sucks that Foss crashed alongside Higuita at the end and as it was uphill, they got a time gap. Otherwise the bet could have been more interesting for you.
No luck neither yet. Only successful bet was Kristoff in Almeria, which got void and refunded...
Alaphilippe in Provence, Costa in Oman were at least pretty close.
And by a look of it Yates in Andalucia also won`t win, that said, basically only picked him due to the 16.00 odds for the same reason as bbl wasn`t going for Evenepoel.
Will try to keep the bets coming for GCs at least. Stages are always difficult as this would need me to be online around afternoon, which is easily the worst time for me to do so. And post 7 PM it might still work but usually too soon to the deadline plus also no guarantee that I can make it as morning hours are usually most ideal for me. |

Thanks for the work Roturn. It is appreciated.
I guess it's just the kind of thing that you look at whenever you log on to see it any bets are going and don't get too upset if you miss any deadlines.

Glad there wasn't a bet on today's TT stage in UAE. I would have lost all my money

Any chance we can get some Man-Game Tour de France bet up before the GC sets?

Quite a few near misses already for me this year. Another one now with Carapaz.

That was my fault, I tried to update it on my phone but the page was super laggy and I apparently hit "delete" instead of "update" and it was just gone without a confirmation needed or a way to undo it Sorry about that, won't happen again at least ...

It is not visible in the betting area, but I rewarded the 3 members df_Trek (4530), marcovdw (150) and dominox (63) the correct amount of $ to their betting account leading to a big lead by df_Trek now. |
