Bread vs. Robyn vs. Filthy Penny - An NFL Experiment

[Bread]

Totals

Bread
7-9

Robyn
9-7

Filthy Penny
8-8

Total points won
Robyn - 50



Time for Week 2. This week, in case Filthy Penny beats us both out, Robyn has chosen poster wtf to receive 50 pts from me, and I have chosen poster Inthehole for her. See, I tend to reward clever guys like ITH for his always appropriate gifs and pictures, and his discovery of Herman posting on spousal battery boards today made him an easy choice. Robyn tends to pick the guy most likely to enter a thread and post "Yea you tell him!" Whatever.

Reminder that the 500 pt grand prize winners - should Filthy Penny beat us both out on the year - are Patty Venditto and Pavyracer.

Is anyone interested in betting points on this contest from week to week? I'll put up lines for Bread, Robyn, and Filthy Penny if people are interested.

[Bread]

Fearless the Entrepreneur.

[pavyracer]

I still don't understand how filthy penny picks games.

[fearless]

I can't pass this up, I love the action and it provides entertainment for everybody.

Rules:

Max bet: You can risk up to 20 points. Only one bet per customer.
You must post up points at the time of your bet (send the points to this post).
If there's a tie for first all bets will be no action and the number of points risked will be returned to all bettors.
Post your bets in this thread. All bets are final. If you edit the post that contains your bet, your bet will become an automatic loser.

Lines for week 2:

Robyn -236
Bread +150
Filthy Penny +135

Pavy...after Robyn and I make our picks, we flip that filthy penny in the picture above to get its picks. Complete coinflip.

Fearless can I get some action? What if there is a 2-way tie, but not the player you picked? That would be a loss, right?

Of course you can bet on yourself. The rule is: If there's a tie for first all bets will be no action and the number of points risked will be returned to all bettors.

I can't think of a way to evenly split up payouts if there's a tie for first so I'll just be generous and return all the risked points everyone bet for that week.

[Bread]

I'll risk 20 pts on Robyn this week. My bets scare me

[fearless]

You're risking 20 to win 14 on Robyn at -140.

[Bread]

I'm enthusiastic, but I'm also a realist

You bet on yourself v. Robyn in the dream match-up thread. I think the format you've got for this contest is easier to win than the 128 man tourney format. One bad beat or lucky win can decide who wins each week very easily.

[diogee]

Wow...I'm betting big on Bread this week. In for 11 points.

[MexicanStallion]

The penny looks pretty strong this week. I hope he goes down though

[Robyn]

M.Stallion...how do you have so many points???

[Bread]

Robyn visit the points subforum. Mex is running serious pts book down there. He'll take your points too.

Bread is correct. I prob got like 1200 points from it in this month. The rest is from posting and such things.

Lines for week 2:

Robyn -192
Bread +125
Filthy Penny +135

Right now the market is saying that Bread's handicapping skills are about equal to a coin flip?

[Robyn]

Mex, I had no idea you were a pts bookie! You little stinker.

Fearless, many of Bread's picks come from coin flips, so I guess this could potentially be a case of poetic justice.

Are you serious?

[Robyn]

Actually, I have no clue how he makes his picks. He hangs out in his dungeon and makes his plays. He tells me that he bets minimal amounts, but I have a feeling he is being sneaky sometimes.

[BadNina]

I still love Filthy Penny. And the next internet ID I make, I am using that for my name.

[chrisharvard01]

Great thread.

GL, Bread!

Cool name "Filthy Penny" has 2 sides can I be the other side !!

[BadNina]

That works for me!

[fearless]

Bread is now +140.

[MonkeyF0cker]

I wanna fuk Filthy Penny. Is that wrong?

[tacomax]

See, I tend to reward clever guys like ITH for his always appropriate gifs and pictures, and his discovery of Herman posting on spousal battery boards today made him an easy choice. Robyn tends to pick the guy most likely to enter a thread and post "Yea you tell him!"
