CK The People's Champ versus jgbgsox NBA Playoffs Challenge

[cocknocker]

I still have one more play...Heat-5 Friday night!

[In2Win]

So how does the tie for JG work towards the percentage? if CK gets 17 right picks his percentage is 17/30 = 56.666667% and JG is 14/25 which is 56% flat.

Winning % might be the same/better, however, CK's losing % is worser than that of jg

[joanapoker]

In my opinion the tie doesn't count. A tie is what it is tie=zero=push

But I liked this final rally from CK, showing that is still the people champ

nice work both of the "players"

[SoonerGreg]

Booked:
Celtics +4 (bought 1pt)
Magic +6
Magic / 76ers over 185.5 (like CK's point on Howard being out)
Rockets -3 (bought 2 pts)

Straight Cash Homie!

[jgbgsox]

ok here we go again lol, im 14/24 with a push so that's about 58.5% so even if ck hits his last play he will be 17/13 and that's about 56.5% we both agreed we were using the rules of sam's tourney yes ck made a nice comeback i knew he would he is definately a good capper maybe next year in the playoffs we will meet up again and he will get his revenge

[In2Win]

I think you guys should have another 2 week competition. =) We all definitely benefit from you guys. CK & JB... Thanks for the last 2 weeks!

[jgbgsox]

final score :
jgbgsox 14-10-1 (25 games)58.3%
cocknocker 17-13 (30 games) 56.7%

Some closing notes from the People's Champ....


I just checked all of my results and I must say that you really caught some good breaks in this challenge, jgbgsox. Damn, and to think that if you take away my 3 losses by 1 point and my loss by a hook, my record would be it's usual good number (21-9) for challenges. Even worse than that the Bulls had their chances in game 6 to get the cover there and then my record could have been 22-8 easily (now everyone should see why I round off my wagers with point buys and take care of those key number situations).

For that reason I don't feel that I underperformed at all despite the sub standard (for my personal standard)record I had in the end. The playoffs lines are tight as hell. I always knew that it would have to take some close losses on my side and some expert genius capping on the other end to bring my winning streak to an end. I really enjoyed myself in this competition. Thanks for an excellent challenge. I owe ya one next year, jg the Genius!

[jgbgsox]

ck i know how you feel about close losses i was 14-10-1 and i also lost 3 by a point and one by a half a point so i could have been 18-6-1 and with a right bounce i could have won that push also and that would have made me 19-6 so i think we both lost several games by a half a point to a point but i do thank you for the challenge and maybe we can do this next year

[jgbgsox]

ck if you wanna for round 2 we will start tomorrow may 3 and continue until may 17 we will use same rules unless you wanna change any but it has to be before the challenge starts but we will do one thing different you pick a teammate and i will pick a teammate and we will battle it out two on two if interested let me know by tonight since tomorrow starts round 2 and that will give me time to find a teammate if i can come up with one and one other thing if we do have another challenge let's stop the arguing that really ruined it for me last match either way good luck to you the rest of the playoffs

[suckatmyjob]

yea this is how the forum should be and jgbg is on something with all these competition I think it helps everyone who follows or add more on plays that you guys pick so keep it up

[cocknocker]

I would love to, but the Missus is hell bent on finding a way to get out of town since she had already requested the vacation time off from her job. If I can find someone to hold down the fort while I am gone then we can do it. I like wangichu or Dexter since non is awol. I can communicate with both of these guys via texting, etc.

[cocknocker]

Okay I'm gonna PM you, jgbgsox. I just got wangichu to join me. I can always text him with my spin since obviously we will be in the states.

[jgbgsox]

ok i sent out a pm to sexymit hopefully he will accept if not i will have to try to find another teammate is there any rules you want to change before the match starts or do u wanna keep the same rules really don't matter to me i just hope i can get a teammate by tomorrow

[cocknocker]

Oh, ok.. Cool, Here's what I would like to see:

1) An allowance of a half point(.5) or a point and a half (1.5)buys allowed, and 1st halves

2) Get rid of those silly ass time restrictions too. Make your f*ckin play whenever the hell the 2 teams wish to do so as long as it is posted within a half hour (30 minutes) prior to the game.

3) Commentary for the teams must be on their own thread seperate from the actual challenge thread so as to not cloud the Challenge thread with too much chatter. We'll call them our "Think Tanks"

[cs11787]

Any 2nd half play cK?

[cocknocker]

Any 2nd half play cK?

No. I'm just letting it ride

[corona]

yes yes yes

more challenges between you two.

i love tailing and making money.

[jgbgsox]

i don't like rule # 1 i got burnt by a .5 point to a point alot in the first challenge also but since this is just a online matchup and not using real money i would like to stick with what the lines are no point buying 1st halves are ok and your other 2 rules are ok with me but the bad thing about this is i still haven't found a teammate

[cocknocker]

Yeah, but see the way that I actually play my money is what the people want to see. I rarely play games at -110....

I'll tell you what. I'll put the challenge picks over here and I will put down what I am actually playing on my Think Tank page. I think it kind of cheapens the effects if one doesn't actually know how I am playing games

[jgbgsox]

looking like i might not be able to come up with a teammate if i can't we will meet up next year in the playoffs one on one again

[cocknocker]

Alright my friend we already have our first pick in hand! Orlando-ANYTHING game 1

[cocknocker]

Oh well...

[jgbgsox]

i will try one more time ck, anyone want to join my side and do a two on two match if interested let me know by tomorrow afternoon thank you

[RoagBettor]

[jgbgsox]

[SexyMit]

I just got home, sent you a PM back. Yes I can be your teammate if its not to late!

[jgbgsox]

im in a tough spot i did pm sexymit alot earlier today and was hoping for a response but wasn't sure if he would get back to me by tomorrow and roagbettor said he will join me i pmed sexymit first but now it sux for roagbettor if i say no to him damn this sux

[jgbgsox]

roagbettor i really appreciate you saying you would be my teammate but i did pm sexymit early this afternoon and he just got back to me maybe we can teamup in round 3 or if ck wants to get another guy we can go 3-3 i dont know what to do i want to be fair to everyone

[SexyMit]

Just let me know. I know that I was late getting back to you. If you want to use him as a teammate I understand. I don't want it to be unfair to him as well as he got back to you before I did. Everyone have a good night as it has been a very long day for me! Gl on the wagering tomorrow!

[jgbgsox]

sexymit i did ask you first and i understand you were out but you did get back to me in time im sorry roagbettor and i do appreciate you offering to be on my side and i know this sux for all now but i have to go with the guy i asked first and maybe in round 3 we will teamup as you did offer to be on my side so for round two it will be ck and wangichu vs jg and sexymit once again sorry roag and thanks for saying you would be on my side

[MexicanStallion]

Congrats Jgbgsox on your round 1 victory. I would have liked to have faced you in the tournament, but I had some poor plays against SexyMit. Goodluck to all of you though. Seems like it would be profitable to tail your plays
