Iwinyourmoney v. TSoprano

[Panic]

I think these 2 should do a friendly NBA capping contest. Maybe SBR could throw in a goodie bag to the winner.(or something else). Both have fans on this site who look forward to their picks. Maybe Nicky can lay some odds on who wins, how long it goes, ect...

[SBR Lou]

This would be epic. How about some friendly odds , Panic?

[Iwinyourmoney]

Im game. In two days you guys will see a lot of picks from me on the board. Ready to start firing

[Iwinyourmoney]

The way T is hitting, he would be probably -650

[Panic]

I would have to say TSoprano would be about a -180 fav.

Need Nicky to run the numbers...everyone else is an amateur at setting lines

Agree. We all simply guess. He is the master.

[Tsoprano]

Sounds good. How long will the contest run?

[Panic]

I would say something short, since its just a friendly contest. Maybe 100-200 games. Whatever you guys want to decide on. If you want to put more time in it and pick more games, that would be cool too. Maybe the Mods will sticky a Iwin v. T thread when both of you decide to start and for how many games.

[Iwinyourmoney]

Id be down for something with the rules like:
- NCAA Men/NBA Only
-No ML, only sides and totals. All quarters, halfs, and final sides/totals in play
-No prop bets
-To agree on a line/price, lets say ONLY OPENING LINES from Pinny per SBR Odds

[Iwinyourmoney]

Unit structure work just like the handicapping contest.

-112 winner is +1 unit win
-112 lose is -1.22 unit

[Tsoprano]

Sounds good so far...just need to discuss how many plays there would be in the contest.

--We can bet on opposite sides in an event
--Favorites to win 1 unit, Dogs risking 1 unit

Would be nice if NFL and maybe NCAAFB was allowed. But mainly NFL. I understand though if its strictly a hoops contest.

[Iwinyourmoney]

Agree with Tsoprano, except Id like to make this a strictly hoops contest

No problem.

[Nicky Santoro]

before i make a line, i need to know how many games each poster will play. will one play more than the other.. or both same amount of games?

[Tsoprano]

Same amount of plays, deciding on how many first.

[Nicky Santoro]

Iwin struggles a lot under pressure..


Iwin will have a hard time beating T..

Iwin has been very cocky this year with this text message plays, etc.... and usually when posters get cocky, they start to lose..


Who will win?

TSoprano -145
Iwin +125

[Iwinyourmoney]

We have decided on 250 plays (250 units).

[Panic]

You guys are gonna have to put a time limit also. End of Dec...end of Jan. Whatever works for both of you, but you cant have it run forever.

[Iwinyourmoney]

Maybe we should cut it down to 150

[Tsoprano]

End of January, and 200 picks. Sounds good Iwin?

[Iwinyourmoney]

[l7ustin]

Must be my plays for tonight: Portland -4 and Boston -6

[Panic]

Gotta wait for TSoprano, Iwin. And see when he wants to start.

[Tsoprano]

Everything seems good, How about we start tomorrow since I agree with you on the plays you'd post

[Shark79]

This would be a great contest .... Hell you pick all there picks and you most likely will end up in the + numbers

[Iwinyourmoney]

AGreed. We start tomorrow.

MODs: Can we get a sticky somewhere.

Final rules:
-Lines per SBRLines, Opening lines ONLY from pinny.
-No ML, props, or futures. Only Sides and totals, any half/quarters apply. NCAAM/NBA Only
-All plays risking 1 unit.
ex: -110 winner pays +1
-110 loser pays -1.10
+110 winner pays +1.10
+110 winner pays -1

200 units min/max. Contest ends Jan 31, 2009 11:59pm EST. Any total plays under 200 will count as -1 unit per play under it.

T, if you agree with this.....we start tomorrow

[Panic]

If they cant do it in players talk, it would be cool to do a sticky in NBA capping since that is the only thing you guys are picking from.
