Line has moved several times against me. But this is the first time I am cancelling in past 60 bets.

If you were allowed to cancel before tip off, you could technically block the other person by posting a pick first (since the rules state that the players cannot pick the same bet and first come first serve) and then cancel it right before tip off.

Come on V, maybe gs wins like Atlanta without Josh Smith and hornets are right now without Gordon.

Yes. You can do it and you are allowed to do it.

Again, I have cancelled once in my past 60 bets. So, get a clue.

vyom you mind as well let the +2 ride out

Otherwise Goat will use this as one of his excuses and as you can see already 4+ people with less than 20 posts have ripped you for this

You have made it very clear that you are leagues above Goat

Yeah Im not saying you would abuse it, but Im saying it CAN be abused....and Goat could be a dick if he was soo inclined.

**vyomguy** · 01-16-13, 09:55 PM

Goatmilk is allowed to cancel at any time before the tip-off in case of major injury. The rule applies to both of us. This is fair and even.

End of discussion.

**Goat Milk** · 01-16-13, 09:57 PM

look at this joker trying to defend himself. he's not gonna give in. He'll keep finding a way to defend himself even though he knows he's wrong. let him cancel. it's all good.

**mlb** · 01-16-13, 10:04 PM

Haha lmao goat.... I coulf give 2 shits about this contest but "it counts.. update it... i better see it changed when I come back..."

Lmao. .is he the president, does he have slaves in this thread

**nrok2118** · 01-16-13, 10:10 PM

Now you realize Golden States gonna still win tonight, right?

**alamo** · 01-16-13, 10:17 PM

My own opinion is that the rules seemed to be made up by vyomguy for his competition and are being changed by him. In effect he is refereeing his own comp which will mean only one thing. There is no neutral ref which means Goat is doomed.

The rules are same for both of us. And its not "being changed". Read Comment #1. The bets are final at tip-off.

If there is a major injury, players should be allowed to cancel their bets. I am not being far-fetched here. I dont think its too much to ask.

**vyomguy** · 01-16-13, 10:27 PM

I was posting my picks way before tip-off to help other people...so that they can see earlier and tail.

Now I am going to post just 2 mins before tip-off with maximum info.

Fuk this 20-post trash talkers. I am going to look out for my self from now onwards.

This sucks because there are many of us that actually tail your picks and have been doing great following you. I have not given you my appreciation yet but thank you for taking the time and effort to do what you do.

Anybody who doesn't notice that Vyom is one of the sharpest if not the sharpest person on this forum is brain dead.

Do as you wish but thank you anyway for all of the winners. Hope you have continued success.

When interpreting a rule, you have to place it into context. That's what he's saying.

Vyom, some of the posters are young, inexperienced or purposefully looking to get a rise out of you. You're giving a college lecture to 6 th graders. Don't take it personal.

Go Niners...

**Goat Milk** · 01-16-13, 11:20 PM

Portland -7.5 -110 2nd half 1 unit

**Goat Milk** · 01-16-13, 11:21 PM

no i said he can cancel this bet but for the future it shouldn't be a rule. you can't cancel. anyway guys vyguy believe this is just a plug-in league. players don't matter.

dude....this is comical. its like fantasy betting. so i posted warriors +2 this morning, and decide before tip off to "cancel" my bet at heat -4?

how does that make any sense...you're telling him to get a clue because you only did it once? if your rules stated something like "major injury announced late can nullify a play"....then you would have a leg to stand on.

The whole contest is dumb. These two really have no history.

Would have been interesting if it were two posters who were enemies or something.

**vinny808** · 01-17-13, 01:48 AM

Whats wrong with just hedging out the bet with Heat -3.5? Once a bet is posted, it should be considered locked. Also, VYOM can post his lines 2 minutes before tip off but if thats the case, he must also use the current lines offered. E.g. If Heat was offered at -3 at 9 A.M. but at tip-off, the line now increased to -4.5, he must use the current line (-4.5).

**Goat Milk** · 01-17-13, 06:19 AM

don't count it to the record. it doesn't matter. you won this contest anyone but i'm still gonna make all the picks and get close.

**Vreston** · 01-17-13, 06:33 AM

Since you guys started something you might as well finish it. Peacefully. There's always going to be a winner and a loser so don't worry about it.

Also Vyomguy I suggest you still post your picks like you did for people from different time zones so we can still follow the thread and keep it interesting.

Fukk the trsh talkers vyomguy. It's part of the game at SBR. Grow thicker skin and post your plays as usual. Just ignore the little kids.

**john91748** · 01-17-13, 01:34 PM

Just so I'm clear when I update the record. I assume I'm counting the Warriors bet, is that correct vyomguy?

You're welcome.

Also did you check my last listed discrepancy? Had a small difference in our numbers. Just wanted to make sure you're okay with what I posted.

Thanks
