27, Fub

This is a HU event.
06-01-2014 , 05:13 PM
I don't have a 5dimes, I bet thru bovada.

I say we pick 5 games a night for 10 days, get this **** over with quick.

Do you not know how to properly dance for the people?
06-01-2014 , 05:13 PM
No, there was already talk of turning 500 into 2K via a 4 way competition. Pretty sure this is RCYFD time.
06-01-2014 , 05:13 PM
MLB, NHL, NBA are included. No soccer.

There can be no such requirements imo. There should be a minimum required bets for the entire duration and that's it. You can't rush handicapping geatness and I'm not even being facetious.

The bets don't even need to be real. You just need to post it before the game with a current line. Each player starts with an imaginary $500. Or whatever number you want. You could make that 10K for more excitement.

Have you watched the walking dead? Some day, possibly very soon, we aren't going to have the opportunity to pick and choose. We will have to go out there and get. 5 games a day for 10 days.

Bovadas lines are dog**** compared to 5dimes. If you are serious about sportsbetting you should be using 5dimes.

Nah 2+2 just requires that with $ driven stuff like this.

Speaking of integrity, we'd need an escrow. Mullen?

I'm not serious about sports betting you dumbass, as I've already said. Im a poker player.

I won't even be betting these games anyways, just picking and winning $500 off you. Guess I'll have to download the 5dimes app.
06-01-2014 , 05:24 PM
If you're placing thousand of dollars in bets per month, that sounds serious enough to hunt for better lines.

Thats funny. No way are we using Mullen.

What? Why, because he knows you're dumb? He wouldn't rip you off.

Beast: Are you interested in a HU match with Greeeeaar or a multi-person winner-take-all contest?

27: For the winner-take-all I am thinking something like this:
$500/person winner-takes all.
60 picks over one month.
Pinny lines.
Favorites over -125: .5 pt
Favorites -125 to even: 1 pt
Dogs up to +125: 1.25 pt
Dogs over +125: 1.5 pt
Each correct pick gets points. Whoever has the most points at the end wins.
Those numbers are probably not exactly right, but something like that. This is not about money management or about getting lucky on one huge underdog. It's about who's the best at handicapping and picking winners. Feedback from people with experience in handicapping contests appreciated.
06-01-2014 , 05:36 PM
None of that point crap. You pick lines offered by 5dimes. Getting lucky on a huge underdog?

Were talking MLB,NHL, NBA. The Heat are about to be playing the Spurs. There wont be any "huge underdogs".

Highest MLB line you will see these days will be around -300
06-01-2014 , 05:36 PM
Two things:

First, I can't wait for the Kitchen Nightmares episode starring Mr. The Beast. Spoiled rich kids inevitably waste their parents money and don't give a **** when given a restaurant. High drama abounds.

Second, I wonder what the odds are that mr tbab would have used that 4k more wisely had someone IP banned him when he was on top of the world?

Yes, we knew how it was going to end if he stayed here posting. It would be entertaining for us, sure, but is it worth the entertainment we receive? To send a helpless addict to the poor house?

For shame!

I'll take the other side of that. PM me to book it. Push if for whatever reason tbab and Grear don't go through to the end.
06-01-2014 , 05:38 PM
If I tackle the restaraunt business I will put blood sweat and tears into it.

There is no way I will fail at that. I can come some mean steaks and saffron chicken, trust me.
06-01-2014 , 05:39 PM
I'm only doing HU vs tbab. Make up your mind what you want to do. They're offering you a 4 way bet, which you haven't declined.

That gives too much weight to say -120 to - -124. , where a couple of cents causes a double point payout (or loss) . Starting people out with a bankroll of say 60 units , with the ability to risk up to 8 units sounds right to me.

Are you under the impression that the many failed restaurant owners out there went into it feeling differently than this?
06-01-2014 , 05:43 PM
No, all plays are 1 unit.
