    Bet SBR points on the 128-Man Bracket Tournament
    Limits and payouts for each bet are stated below. You can make picks just for fun (just state in the post that your pick is for fun and not for points). You can bet on yourself. I obviously don't have tons of SBR points but I expect to get approximately even action so I'll be gaining points from posters who lose their bets and giving those points to those who win their bets (I will pay my debts if there are any). All bets are final. If you edit the post that contains your bet, your bet will become an automatic loser. These odds are subject to change at any time. Rules for rounding payouts: 14.50 to 14.999... = 15, 14.4999... to 14.0 = 14, etc. Any bets made in this thread after the match-ups for the first round are released will not count.

    I will accept parlays (minimum 3 poster parlay) with a max payout of 50 points. You can compute parlay payouts here:

                  I went against him in the last tourney and of all the opponents I've had, he was the most intimidating. It's really hard psychologically to keep your composure when your opponent keeps hitting medium dogs on seemingly every play (on his baseball run line plays). He's the toughest opponent I've had to face in a one on one situation.

                      I don't know who are, you could be a pro for all I know. Do you have a thread with your picks or something so I have something to handicap?

                                      Why? We're betting fantasy "points" that have no monetary value.

                                              You're risking 13 points to win 10 on not being eliminated in the first round. No problem.

                                                  Actually they do have monetary value. You can buy gift cards with the points.

                                                          Lets put my time in law school to the test.

                                                          These SBR points, since they are only usable on this website and only able to purchase items from this website, are at all times PROPERTY of SBR. Which would in turn, under property laws, would govern that they can be used as the owner of SBR see fit. Since they hold no monetary value outside of SBR, they can be used accordingly in any fashion, as the owners of SBR see fit.

                                                          The only people who could file a complaint in a court of law would be SBR against someone who is using points in a way that violates SBR ToS.

                                                                I have proven daily that my picks are solid and will prove it again in this tourney....

                                                                but, I won't bet until I know the match ups
