    FWIW, I wouldn't bet on myself at 11/1, but I know the others would, so I would've priced myself like 9/1 and trytrytry similarly.
    I would have done the same thing. LKId would also get my respect and I would make him +850 or so along with other guys. I would have made lines for this, but I just don't know enough about the field. Duff is another guy that seems to have his head on str8 and I would have priced him in the top tier as well. But the rest of the players I don't really know.

Try is a good capper but no one should be -400 against any other person on earth in a 15 pick contest.
    yeah, it's like I said in the other thread, it's like the odds SBR posted for the poker championship. 85 man field and they had the favorites in the 15/1 to 20/1 range.

    Huge amount of luck and variance involved, you can't possibly bet anyone less than 40/1 there and less than 9/1 here

    yisman



    you and trytrytry were less than +300 since you guys wont play each other until the finals! NO OTHER POSTER can spot the stale lines better than you and trytrytry. Most of us will just post our plays early in the day and not post again. But you guys are too astute for that.

    You guys are like Nadal and Federer. Sure you both may lose, but that was take a huge upset

    sorry po69, i've already taken over 3600 points in action on this stupid thing


    for the 1st round matchups, REMEMBER, THERE IS NO ACTION IF SOMEONE DOESN'T MAKE ALL THEIR PICKS, unless of course they would have no chance of winning. example of no action - yisman finishes 9-6, football time goes 5-6 and then doesn't make his last 4 picks because he gives up, or dies, or loses internet access.

    for the "to win" bets you're still good

    Well I trytrytry didnt respond with the loan anyway.


    I didnt bet any matchups anyway. But if you win the yisman first round bets as the bookie, then you are CERTAINLY living right!! He should have been at least -160 in his first round match. But hey, if yisman loses and trytrytry loses then the contest really becomes easiser for everyone else

    yeah my lines were a bit too generous, but that's ok i'm happy to do it.
    i'm hoping either yisman or try3 lose the first round (or both).

    PO, you qualify as the biggest jackass on the internet, and top 3 ass kissers on the net........How the fuk would you know anything about me? You dont and honestly i dont know much about Yisman, but gaurantee you he will not have a walkover here. I would honestly consider it an upset if he beats me, this isnt my 1st rodeo kid. I dont post plays for pats on the back. What are my odds to beat Yisman? and what are my odds to win this whole thing? and also what are my odds to finish with a better record then POS69 in the 1st round? Someone give me some odds as a pick hanst been made yet in my thread........

    I have no idea who you are!


    It isnt about beating me jackass! It is about beating yisman. I didnt bet on him beating you in your match, others did. I just think that he would be a favorite. Dont get your feelings hurt dude.


    And to be honest, I think that he will be a big favorite for other reasons than just having the best record. I have played in probably 500 contests just like these in the past 13 years on the internet. And I see it all of the time where one guy wont even post a play for the whole contest or at least will not finish his 15 picks. But one thing that I do know is that yisman and trytrytry are not going anywhere. They will pick all 15 picks and probably beat the closing line in 13 out of the 15. Some of those games they will beat the closing line by 4 or 5 points. It is just tough to beat opponents who will do all of the above. Maybe you will beat him, I HOPE THAT YOU DO!!! I know that I cant beat him.


    Nice job of making your post after Notre Dame was losing by 10 within the first 5 minutes of the game

    My feelings arent hurt........but you have no idea about anything about me, only thing you know about me is i beat your ass in poker everytime we play, thats it Kid! I know its not about beating you, but im wondering what my odds are to finish better then you, if you had some points you could post a line. Also you have no points and no one wants to lend you anyway, So therefore you couldnt make a bet on Yisman Brokedik. We will see where we ll stand come Sunday night. Gl boys

    Yisman's odds to beat you were -120. A 20cent line for a contest is pretty fair, but i'll narrow it and give you +105.

    I only opened up betting for football time and anyone that wants him up to 500 points. This will be off the board in an hour or two.

    Lkid........Instead of having the units listed after the records, what are the chances of having the action points listed after the record and take units out......... Mine would read 3-1 with +13 action points.........Since action points is the tiebreaker if records are tied.....Thanks and not sure if this is to much work........

    Yeah I figured if it comes down to it I'd just add up the action points in the event of a tie.

    If i get a chance i will go back, but i'll definitely do it for the future rounds..

    i didn't even think about the tiebreaker with these matchup bets.

    what's the consensus on how ties should be handled on the side bets? should we go with the action points tiebreaker, or leave it as a push?

    ^

    I'd say the tiebreaker determines the winner in the contest, so why not determine the winner of the bet?
