I want to back Ambrose again this week. Any takers for other side?

[yisman]

Jeff Gordon -125 for max.
Denny Hamlin EVEN for 50.

[Optional]

Awesome we're on

250 left to risk.


*Edit: Just changed Group 2 H2H odds to +150

[yisman]

I will also bet on Ambrose + Allmendinger to beat any 2 drivers from the same team you wish to nominate head to head. (ties push) LMK who and we can negotiate the odds.

Give me prices for Hamlin+Martin or Hamlin+Dale Jr.

[Optional]

they aren't the same team... but we can go EVENS on either of those I think?

[yisman]

Sorry, I got confused. I was meaning to say Gordon+Martin or Gordon+Dale Jr.

I got stuck thinking about Hamlin for some reason.

I chose Gordon based off of the fact that I'm betting him HTH vs. Ambrose anyway.

[yisman]

I will also risk 35 to win 10 on Group 2.

[Optional]

-110 with Martin and -125 with Junior suit you?

[Optional]

I will also risk 35 to win 10 on Group 2.

Great. We're on.

215 points left to risk

[yisman]

I will take the one with Martin.

Risk 77 to win 70 on Gordon+Martin.

[Optional]

I will take the one with Martin.

Risk 77 to win 70 on Gordon+Martin.

145 points left to risk.

[yisman]

What price would I get for Keselowski+KuBusch?

[yisman]

Let me know.

[yisman]

Guess not.

I would've just bet the rest on that but since I can't I'll place a bet on existing lines you have:

Kyle Busch to beat Ambrose +100, risk 50

[CarolinaDaze]

Opti can i have Kyle over ambrose at +100 for whatever points you have left?

[CarolinaDaze]

If i read it right with Yisman last bet, you would have 95 left im game.

[yisman]

He should have 95 left to risk after my bet.

[CarolinaDaze]

Cool im down then 95. I bet b4 race started Opti, but if for some reason you didnt want my action, It can be a no bet, GL.

[CarolinaDaze]

Damn lap 20 Ambrose is 5th and Kyle is 28th

[yisman]

Ambrose doing well and hanging in there.

Looks like a top 10 finish. Also Allmendinger.

[yisman]

I think I might've lost everything.

[Optional]

Sorry I wasn't here to rev you guys up as the race was on!

And thanks for fast payment CD.

Will check all bets and post the grades now.

[Optional]

Thad

Ambrose Under 5.5 - 100 to win 990 +100
Ambrose to beat Allmendinger - 100 to win 90 +100

Ambrose Under 10.5 - 100 to win 360 -360
Ambrose Under 15.5 - 100 to win 90 -90
Ambrose Under 20.5 - 100 to win 45 -45

Result: Thad owes 295 points

Thanks a lot you three. Really appreciate you taking me on.

I will be doing similar again next week for Homestead too, if you guys want a chance to get your points back.

[Optional]

Just realized I ripped you off Yis. That Group 2 bet was a winner for you. Sending you 45 back.

[yisman]

Yeah I didn't check. I figured I'd pay right away and check it later.

[yisman]

Friggin' SBR got me again. Sending for the bet.

[Optional]

Friggin' SBR got me again. Sending for the bet.

Thanks.

Sorry about the outcome.


How the hell do you keep collecting trivia badges btw??

Would you have got this one?



I haven't got past the first question since July I think.

[yisman]

That is a really easy one. Karl Malone and John Stockton were the core of the Utah Jazz for a very long time. But I suppose non-Americans might not know about the Utah Jazz.

I'm actually in a big of a trivia slump. Today I lost on the third question, which asked what year a Red Sox team won 100 games. It wasn't recent.

[Optional]

I actually did associate Malone with the Jazz, but thought the question was phrased to suggest it was some team other than the main one he played for.

The questions have definitely become harder. I used to grab 50 every 2nd or 3rd try.

[yisman]

To my recollection, the only team Malone ever played for other than the Jazz was the Lakers, and that was at the end of his career (later than '97).

The question was phrased in such a way to leave it open to whether it's a trick question or not.

[Optional]

I know it isn't cool to whine about the trivia questions. But these must be really difficult for even a US sports fanatic!? Makes me wonder what your brain is full of to keep pulling out 175s Yis.

[yisman]

those are impossible.

[Optional]

Thankyou!

I feel a little better now

[yisman]

Opti, I got out on the second question today.

In 2005, who had a 3.48 ERA for the Angels?



I picked Paul Byrd. He had a 3.74 ERA that year for the Angels.

Unreal.

[Optional]

Oh that one truly sucks!

Wonder who SBR got to write these questions.

[yisman]

any specials today?

I offered 11 longshots.
