Can SBR get a book to put up odds for head to head poster matchups for the tourney

And these will be real bets, not the funsies mod bets.

I'll take Ganch at +150.

What about using Matchbook's X-Bets?

Steam on Ganch

Raiders -120
Ganch +100

I was actually hoping that a book would put up the head to head odds so that we could get many posters to wager on the same matchup with the outcome determined by the free tourney pool at SBR.

Pinny use to do this for other forums. They put the max bet at $100. It was lots of fun to look at the matchups and score after each day.

567 Tacomax -120

568 SBRJohn -110

571 JJGold +170

Sharp action on Pags

imgv94 · 03-13-07, 09:12 PM

Who won the bracket contest last year?

574 BuddyBear -130
575 The Field +110

Ganch can win but he has guys working for him which is unfair.

tacomax · 03-13-07, 09:41 PM

I don't think there is anyone that can beat imgv, pags or Buddybear - these guys are professionals.

imgv94 · 03-13-07, 09:45 PM

So you think it was just some weird coincidence that pags and I cashed in last seasons bracket contest?

And that I made over $1400 in contests overall?

Pags made some decent change as well..

tacomax · 03-13-07, 10:02 PM

Exactly - you guys are professionals.

Razz · 03-13-07, 10:04 PM

Give me tacomax -120 against Dan.

tacomax · 03-13-07, 10:37 PM

I love how the Square Bear Bunch are still throwing their toys out of the pram about Dan.

onlooker · 03-13-07, 10:41 PM

Give me JJ +170 for the limit against Illusion.

pags11 · 03-13-07, 11:09 PM

give me tacomax vs. Eric Cartman...

Relax man, it's just a joke....we are just having a little fun with you and BBD. It's all in good humor. We are all friends on here. Anyway, I know you don't bet basketball so it wouldn't be fair to put those odds up...so those odds I put up with you are for soccer.

Lucas · 03-14-07, 08:23 AM

I have 2 questions... maybe 3:
(i) Is scalping allowed?
(ii) Must I post my picks or if i do not will I be then second league poster?
...
(iii) Slash, where have you bet 50K as usually on the event please?

aah what a nice spring day, so everyone please start yell at everyone NOW

Bill Dozer · 03-14-07, 10:39 AM

We could have done it before the brackets were filled out. Any book that put up head to head odds now would have to look at the brackets or would be giving away free cash, even at low limits.
