My job is driving me nuts. Thinking of quitting - Page 335 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

spider,

"Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but doesn't the second make the first redundant?"

Poorly worded on my part, sorry. What we mean by that is "Golfer to win tournament" and "Golfer to win Round 3" are different bets, and you can bet each.

We're basically treating each round of the golf tournament as a game and the whole tournament as a series.

This is to be expected from a classless piece of crap like Greear but to have the judges allow this when this is obviously a handicapping contest and we took measures to avoid SOMETHING EXACTLY like this is unfathomable.

**** all of you.

beast, can you explain how this violates the intent of this being a handicapping contest?

Tbab,

What do you think should not be allowed and why?

Do you see how even this capybara Greeeeaaarrrr was able to have an intelligent discussion on this topic like a human with an actual functioning brain?

Try to settle down a bit and articulate your thoughts clearly in a non-chimpanzee-like manner. If you can express a reasonable, coherent point it will be taken into consideration.

It's only a true handicapping contest if he gets to bet sf giants games while no one else bets against them, duh.

El Diablo,

I thought we took measures to prevent this sort of thing. Its bad enough he is looking at my plays and fading them, which is one of the things we were trying to prevent.

Now he is mauling basically the same bet multiple times on player props. I will admit Im not to familiar with golf, but was golf even allowed?

If you dont think this is at the very least shady you are either not very bright, trying to cheat me, or in denial.

how is he placing duplicate bets on mickelson in the same round

If Mickelson is able to rape then he picks up 2 units

6/12/14 4:51AM [7117] Phil Mickelson (1st Rnd) -110 0.91
6/12/14 4:50AM [106] Phil Mickelson (1st Rnd) +130 1

That but it's more like a prop bet because it's just on individual pieces. More like Lebron Pts+Reb+Asst vs Timmy qtr 1, qtr 2, qtr 3, qtr 4, game.

eta - it's not 1 per round or 1 per tourney it's 1 per round and 1 per tourney.

eta 2 - or like betting individual games and also a future bet on the series. however you want to look at it but again it's and not or.

I understand now, thanks.

Could they bet Miami to win each of the 4 quarters, as well as the game? Total of 5 bets on a single game on a single side? That seems wrong to me, but I don't want to clutter up the thread with hypos anymore so I'll hang up and listen.

Multiple picks on the same golfer in the same round should not be allowed.

another way to look at it is he placed multiple valid bets based on the available events at the agreed upon book.

The only thing more surprising than the beast not getting a promotion is that he has a job at all.

Lamentable attitude.

Or he could lose 2 units also.... You undeserving Olinguito

The bets are not duplicates... they are against different opponents.

It shouldnt be allowed. If the golfer loosens his belt he picks up multiple units on the account of one player.

Beast,

Sometimes you make points that are actually counterintuitive, if you are the superior handicapper, wouldn't you want Grear to be fading your units.

Thus, you risk a unit, you could be down 1 or up 1, for a total swing of 2
Grear risks a unit, he could be down 1 or up 1, for a total swing of 2
Since he is fading you, those bets now swing a total of 4 units on a single bet.

If he is doing this on your true locks, isn't it the best thing ever for you?
