I could plan on breaking even with you and winning a few hundred in side bets potentially.
09-14-2015 , 12:01 AM
Obviously you would need to confirm the sidebets with other people, as they may have been betting on the same conditions I was.
09-14-2015 , 12:02 AM
Obviously!
09-14-2015 , 12:06 AM
You asked for a number, I provided 114. Are you going to respond to that number or nah?
09-14-2015 , 12:07 AM

Sounds good. Also for verification post in this thread the time you are planning on doing it(right before it's going to happen) and read off a post made after that on live stream.

Custer, what I'll do for the 3s, since the place I shoot doesn't have a college 3 line, is get a ruler out and lay it at the top of the 3pt arc and tape it off so im at 20'9 instead of 19'9....I'll even give an extra inch or so that it's clear there was no intent to cheat.

Yeah of course.

Now I just need to figure out how to stream it, and make sure the feed doesn't cut out while im shooting.

Tips with this from the tech savy people?

Sounds good
09-14-2015 , 12:14 AM
Custer, now that we have the 114.5 total locked in, how bad did I get owned? You probably weren't hitting shots at that rate?
09-14-2015 , 12:18 AM
I only shot once for counts and it was outdoors/double rim/own rebound but I went 64%/34% on my first time out. Shot two other times but not for count cause there was noticeable wind gusts. My stroke improved though.

There's a lot of changing factors, but with a rebounder I would expect at worst to shoot like 100, average prob 110. I was more so banking on the fact you wouldn't have a discernable edge in whatever mystery shot you had planned.
09-14-2015 , 12:20 AM
Can you tell us the initial secret shot since it's not happening now? I'm going to try all these three and think I can beat 114.5/200 for funsies
09-14-2015 , 12:20 AM
So i got raked a decent bit. Damn.

Yoy genuinely thought worst case I would shoot 114? Because that's effectively what you bet. Not exactly the same but basically.
09-14-2015 , 12:22 AM
You didn't get owned at all if 64/34 on a double rim outside. He'd def make 16 more indoor, reg rim, and rebounder... Prob 25 more
09-14-2015 , 12:22 AM
I'm probably going to do this thursday or friday, so we can escrow wednesday. I'll ask Alobar if he will hold.

That was also second time shooting a basketball in last year. Like 6th time in last 3
09-14-2015 , 12:25 AM
Okay maybe not 25 but not way less.

34% from three outdoor on a double rim is REALLY good. I'd imagine 43% min inside... And if you're shooting that pure from 3 then 80% FT is easy

As stated I was willing to get it in bad here, to save myself the drive.

Also it saves your Sunday, which believe it or not was a factor. I don't hate anyone's hustle, go get your money.

Ya all my upside would be on getting my ft for back and then just being in a better spot to shoot 3s. 40+ would easily be doable if I can spot jump in doors.

Edit: I had a couple 5+ straight at 3s while getting my own rebound. I just tanked hard a few times being out of sync
09-14-2015 , 12:30 AM
Mystery shot was opposite handed free throws. This was going to be a MASSIVE edge for me and something I may end up regret not keeping part of the competition.
09-14-2015 , 12:33 AM
I'm genuinely curious what you think your odds of hitting each over under are now. You seem to think you were a lock at 97.5
09-14-2015 , 12:38 AM
how often/seriously did you play basketball when you were younger Grear?

I got cut from the team in elementary until 6th grade. Or maybe 5th?

I played in 7th/8th/9th nothing above freshman level for HS though. Didn't try out any other year. I don't even really consider that playing since it wasn't Varsity.

Before this bet I hadn't took many shots in like 12 years.
