Alobar, do you have BOA? I don't have paypal.

Could also do Pokerstars

Good choice. Consider greear like Dutch of cobra kai , Johnny awaits.

greear hammering the tigaaz and NJ1980 hammering the g'ints would be somewhat entertaining

You know either won't take the other side of those two teams so I expect a June swoon for both.

just looked, I've bet on the Indians 6 times this year and against them 7...3-3 on them, 5-2 against.

I have no reservations about betting against them and then rooting for them whatsoever. *shrug*

I routinely bet against my teams or for the team I despise, on big games. That way if my team loses or the team I despise wins, at least I got some money out of the deal, and if its the other way around I dont care about the money, im happy about the outcome. I just dont bet enough that I care about the money more than the outcome.

commonly known as "emotional hedging".

key is finding the right amount to bet. too much and a win isn't as sweet, too little and the loss still stings..

babs,

raepernick contract seems pretty good, if he is the 187 yards on 56% completions,1td/2int raep then it doesn't seem like they will lose too much by cutting him.

if he's the beast raep, they got a QB below market until 2020..

thoughts?

Beast, are you back in action yet??

friday

How dare you misrepresent my position on this issue? I don't think you are autistic and that you have banged ladyboys. Instead, I believe that you have been banged by an 8.5" pre-op autistic ladyboy named "McDaniel" who was dressed as an armadillo. During those festivities, you were gamely attempting to grill saffron chicken while cheerily waving at your boss.

Tbab, Are we going with my idea of 5 picks a day for 10 days? Or are we doing the 3 picks a day for a month?

Banned: Sorry, I misspoke earlier. 10 bet per day max to prevent waiting until the very end to make picks after assessing opponent's performance. So it'll take 6 days at least for someone to completely blow out.

Greeeaaaaarrrr: why not just go with the terms already outlined and agreed on for the group bet.

So you have to mex at least 60 units, and no more than 60 units also??

So no running your profits up?

Greare you're killing all our action here buddy. Why does everything on this site have to devolve into "heads up for rollz" or the equivalent? What fun is a 1-on-1 contest, this was supposed to be a chance to show our handicapping abilities to the world!

Stonecoldtex: you have to WAGER 60 units total, everybody does. So, say it is 60 bets on underdogs at +110 each of them, and say u win 30, you'd end the contest +3 units. If you bet favorites you're only wagering 1 unit to win something smaller so it'd get into decimals pretty easily, but that's the simplified version.

HIV,

root for tbab then, hes vowed to take you all on next and to do it with greears money

Didn't pay attn to them as I had no interest in the group competition.

And HIV if he'd rather face the group then that's fine. It's up to him. I think he wants to face me HU tho, greater chance at winning!!!

Greeaaaaaarrrrrr,

He already chose you instead of the group. He's escrowing tomorrow.

Terms:
One month
60 total bets
10 max bets placed per day
Each bet is one unit PLACED
So each loss is -1 unit to total and each win is + based on odds
All unplaced wagers out of 60 at end count as a loss

Qualifying bets:
Any pre-game wagers available on 5Dimes live lines page
No in-game wagers
No parlays
Min/max allowed odds -400/+400

Logistics:
Send escrow cash to Alobar tomorrow
Contest starts as soon as Alobar announced escrow received from both
Email picks to Alobar
Post your picks in this thread after games start
Alobar will confirm posted picks (this way Alobar can do that whenever he gets around to it)

There should be three judges in place in case any disputes arise over valid wagers, etc.

Sounds good. I think -5 units probably ships this bet.

Two questions.

Let's say I want to bet a game and at 2pm the line is -125. I email my pick. By gametime the line is -140. I get the -125 line right? So we could both have action on the same game but with different prices?

Also, if the line changes on a game, can I bet an additional unit on it if it swings more in my favor?

Greeaaaaaarrrrrr,

You can def both have action on the same game at different prices.

Only one 1-unit bet per pick, can't pile on even if line moves a lot.

Seems reasonable. What do you think the winning unit total to ship this bet is?

I'm thinking -4 units probably ships.

between the two of you, my honest guess is +1u. could be negative, could be +10u.

with 4 people, +4-5u probably is close.

I know it was said in passing, but how the giants play in the next 30 days will most likely determine the winner.

I think that only being able to bet 1u to win like .77u will def prevent the totals from being very high.

I get why the rules are like that, but betting to win 1u on faves and betting 1u on dogs would obviously let totals possibly be higher..

and if one falls behind, will need to chase with underdogs to catch up. And we know Tbag doesnt like to bet underdogs...
