    Taking Willie Bee Down
    Me and Willie have a friendly running beer bet going here in the office. We pick baseball games by the following rules;

    +150 to -150 = 1 beer
    +/-150 to 199 = 1.5 beers
    +/-200 to 299 = 2 beers

    etc. When one of us is in the hole 6 beers, we owe the other a 6-pack.

    Due to my terrible handicapping and luck, I find myself in the hole 5 beers today. One loss away from owing Willie Bee another 6-pack.

    I've decided if I'm going down, I'm going down in flames.

    San Diego Padres -2.5, +800

    It's an EIGHT BEER WAGER.


    Willie could see a 5 beer lead turn into a 3 beer deficit in one foul swoop.

    Worst bet ever?

        So it isn't true that SBR keeps a keg on tap for their employees?

              I'll be taking home a 6-pack this time tomorrow. I am not afraid of this +800 dog line Dave has working for him.

                and I hope you got Willy to agree to type of beer before the bet or he will be brown bagging you Milwaukee's best from his fridge at home...

                  Oh hell no, Herbie. We've been exchanging good beers on these wagers. In fact, it was the last 6'er from Dave (Carta Blanca) that was being consumed during my (mis)scoring of a recent Tuesday Total contest

                    Love these type of wagers! Good job WB! Dave, look on the bright side, winning would only make the weight harder to lose! (unless your still drinking, but buying 2 6packs) Stick with ice tea (unsugared)

                      It's probably no coincidence that my diet is going so well because I suck so bad at picking winners

                        I don't follow. What if you pick a -800 game and it wins?

                          You would win 1 beer instead of losing 8.

                            Yeah, supposing I took the other side of that (San Fran +2.5, -1250) and it won, I'd win one beer. If I lost, I'd lose 12 beers, thus owing Willie two six packs (and still being 5 in the hole )

                                      Dave would be hammered off two beers anyways. This is madness!
