Member | Tue Nov 25 21:34:51 3 leg parlay TENNESSEE AT DETROIT under 3 SEATTLE AT DALLAS under 3 points ARIZONA AT PHILADELPHIA over 3 points There. You can delete the other crap. |
Dakyron
Member | Tue Nov 25 21:51:11 Tennessee(-11) to cover/under total points(TEN @ DET): bet 5 points Ill take Seattle(+12.5), and the under(SEA @ DAL): bet 5 points Arizona(+3), over total points(AZ @ PHI), under total points(TEN @ DET): bet 3 points |
Chen
Member | Wed Nov 26 00:00:40 Jesus Christ these are some unattractive games. My only motivation to even bother with these games is because of these bets. Parlay 2x games SEATTLE AT DALLAS (4:15 pm ET) (Dal -12.5) Total = 46.5 - Under (3 points) ARIZONA AT PHILADELPHIA (8:15 pm ET) (Phi -3) - Arizona covers (3 points) That's 6 points total with the chance of winning 18 right? |

Member | Wed Nov 26 19:35:22 TENNESSEE AT DETROIT (12:30 pm ET) (Ten -11) Total = 44.5- Under (5 points) ARIZONA covers (8 points) AT PHILADELPHIA (8:15 pm ET) (Phi -3) Total = 47 under (2 points) |
Real Fred
Member | Wed Nov 26 21:14:50 I do wish you'd listen, Wymer. It's perfectly simple. If you're not getting your hair cut, you don't have to move your brother's clothes down to the lower peg. You simply collect his note before lunch, after you've done your scripture prep, when you've written your letter home, before rest, move your own clothes onto the lower peg, greet the visitors, and report to Mr. Viney that you've had your chit signed. |
Visably Shaken
Member | Wed Nov 26 21:42:33 revised...please delete prior bet. DETROIT (and the points?) to win(12:30 pm ET)15pts TENNESSEE AT DETROIT (12:30 pm ET) (Ten -11) Total = 44.5- under 20pts. |

Member | Wed Nov 26 22:18:25 Detroit covers + take the under 3 points Dallas fails to cover spread + take the over 3points Arizona upset + take the over 4 points |
Eikeys Ghost
Sports Mod | Thu Nov 27 00:18:32 Ten covers = 7pts Dal covers = 7pts TenCov + DalCov + ARI+3 = 5pts |

Member | Thu Nov 27 02:20:32 I just have one question ... How is it that you guys gamble enough to understand all this gibberish ... and yet suck so bad at picking games? :o) |
MurdeR
Member | Thu Nov 27 11:08:16 Ten covers + Dallas covers + Philly covers all 33.5 pts ... or whatever the max allowed is for me If that's even the proper format. :o) |
CrownRoyal
Member | Thu Nov 27 12:18:40 Dallas covers 3pts Philly covers 3 pts |
Dakyron
Member | Thu Nov 27 13:33:18 Friggin Lions... Its only halftime and its already 45 total points... |
Real Fred
Member | Thu Nov 27 14:59:36 Fuck me. |
kargen
Member | Thu Nov 27 18:05:48 well hell I said my first game wrong. I meant Tenn covers the spread but for some damn reason typed Detroit. Not that it mattered because I picked the under, but still sucks that I typed the pick in wrong. Looks like Seattle isn't going to help me either. |
cardinal JAC
Member | Thu Nov 27 18:17:43 can i bet arizona to win? if so i would like to bet 5 points on that and i would like to bet 5 points the total points of that game is more then 47 points and if i can make that a 2leg parlay that would be excellent if these bets don't make sense, disregard it please. |
Real Fred
Member | Thu Nov 27 22:46:19 Looks like everyone got smoked cept Eikey and CR. |
MurdeR
Member | Fri Nov 28 01:20:59 I got smoked? :o) |
Eikeys Ghost
Sports Mod | Fri Nov 28 09:42:21 "I just have one question ... How is it that you guys gamble enough to understand all this gibberish ... and yet suck so bad at picking games? :o)" I haven't bet on a game this year - and am barely paying attention. However - With Arizona losing, I can't say I'm perfect on TG for the last 4 years. But actually putting money on TG, I'm 9-0. and 2-1 on this game isn't bad. And dogs winning in the NFL (getting 1) is basically a crap shoot. |
MurdeR
Member | Fri Nov 28 09:45:00 I think I just killed this contest. :o) |
Eikeys Ghost
Sports Mod | Fri Nov 28 09:58:37 heh. epic pwnage. Murder +101.5 eikey +9 CR +6 Fred -3 Chen +3 kargen -10 VS -35 Dak -13 heh.... |
Real Fred
Member | Fri Nov 28 13:41:18 Well that kills the dog pick for the year. The worst part is me sending the fucking cunthead murder the prize. |
Real Fred
Member | Fri Nov 28 13:42:20 And I should be -9 |
Eikeys Ghost
Sports Mod | Fri Nov 28 18:39:49 I'm actually thinking of throwing it out, considering what a clusterfuck it was. Wasn't fair to everyone playing - aparantly too confusing for others. And then there is of course, the obvious blow out ending. I am fully able to accept this fuck up (and learn from the mistake) and want to fix it asap. Give me your ideas. |
Real Fred
Member | Fri Nov 28 18:43:43 Beats the fuck out of me, bro. Whatever you decide you know some fucknut will bitch about it. I still love you though, in a very non-gay way. |
Visably Shaken
Member | Fri Nov 28 18:55:05 throw it out i don't knbow shit about that betting and it's not in the spirit of the original game. plus, i lost all my points. i'm personally ruined and I WANTED THAT PRIZE!!! |
CrownRoyal
Member | Fri Nov 28 20:35:14 Yeah, we cannot count this one. Murder can claim to be a champ, we should not argue, this will be his prize. But lets continue with underdog picks. |
CrownRoyal
Member | Fri Nov 28 20:35:47 Btw way to pwn, Murder. |
Madc0w
Member | Fri Nov 28 21:04:44 IMO, since Murder said he didn't even really know what he was doing, we shouldn't count it. But I dunno. |
Eikeys Ghost
Sports Mod | Fri Nov 28 21:05:02 Yeah - epic hit. Not that it's too much of a stretch to pick the favorites to cover on TG Day. |
MurdeR
Member | Sat Nov 29 00:44:18 "Well that kills the dog pick for the year. The worst part is me sending the fucking cunthead murder the prize." Fred: That's not a problem. Just send it Hot Rod's way instead. "I'm actually thinking of throwing it out, considering what a clusterfuck it was." Eikey: I'd be fine with that. Or you could just reset the game and we can have new contest right through the playoffs. "Not that it's too much of a stretch to pick the favorites to cover on TG Day." The picks were no-brainers IMO. I think everyone else just outsmarted themselves. |
Real Fred
Member | Sat Nov 29 11:35:46 "Fred: That's not a problem. Just send it Hot Rod's way instead. " Dude, I was joking. |
MurdeR
Member | Sat Nov 29 14:55:10 I wasn't. It's one of a ton of idiosyncrasies of mine. I don't play for or accept small prizes. I say small prizes, because I've never been in a position to decline a substantial prize. :oP |
Real Fred
Member | Sat Nov 29 15:06:52 Alright, if you win then HR gets the prize. |
Real Fred
Member | Sat Nov 29 15:08:43 Actually, fuck that. I just sent HR something. I'll just keep the prize myself. HR wasn't playing the game anyway. |
Eikeys Ghost
Sports Mod | Sat Nov 29 15:21:59 Thanksgiving is thrown out :) lesson learned. Carry on. |
