    No, you're pretty smart. You're using a forum that's not ever yours for bookmaking and are getting away with it.

    Plus you're using JJ as the standard to beat, which is really a nice little psychological angle as well.

      Raiders,

      You said any teaser that Olympic offers. 2 or more teams...

        I'd be quite surprised if SBR would agree to hold the money, raiders. So this post-up talk is premature.

          I say let a trustful book that both parties agree upon to hold the money DH.

              How about just using two team teasers but you can use the same team in multiple teasers as long as it's not the exact same two teams.

                  These are just friendly bets. Paypal works just fine.

                    Limiting me to 2-team teasers defeats the whole point of using them...

                        Justin- If you want to do that in the regular season that's fine. Ganch can scale it for us. In the preseason it's too easy because the totals are so low and the spreads give you opportunities to cross 3 and 7.

                          Running scared I see Raiders

                          So what If the totals are so low in the preseason. Just checkout last nights preseason game final score, so don't say it's unfair, because it could go either hi or low.

                            The legalities would be the main problem, in my opinion.

                              What offer have you accepted? Cause I don't even know

                                  O.K who holds the money?

                                  I'll do $100.. If you want to do $50 I'll be cool with that.

                                  BTW can we already count my picks this season?

                                    Down to 55% and 3-1? Little different than 56% and 2-1.

                                    Nice negotiating IMG.

                                    Raiders, is that 5K your max risk or the max bet?

                                      That 55% is an Img special. The max payout is $150. It's just for fun.

                                      All others have a $5k max payout except for the idiot that thinks he has $12k. He has no limit.

                                        Stupid waste of a thread.."hey you guys all suck, so iam sure someone will agree to this rip-off".
                                        Private section material or even worse, silly.

                                          As I mentioned earlier, if SBR could make this into a contest, where people would buy in so that we could have some real price money, that would be a lot more interesting than a shot to double your money.
                                          I would be in if it wasn't too much. This is a great idea. Only one potential problem for SBR: would it be legal?

                                            Can we make this 100 games in total from the start of the NFL season through the end of the NBA season? I'll only bet $50 because I want to do this for fun.

                                                  That's the whole spirit of this thing and the reason I put out the challenge.

                                                  If people want to brag about how great they are, I'll bet 12k or I can hit 60%, then of course I'll take their money.

                                                  I do find it interesting how people shut up when they have to put money on the line.

                                                    That's the whole spirit of this thing and the reason I put out the challenge.

                                                    If people want to brag about how great they are, I'll bet 12k or I can hit 60%, then of course I'll take their money.

                                                    I do find it interesting how people shut up when they have to put money on the line.
                                                    Great. Can we make this 100 games in total from the start of the NFL season through the end of the NBA season?

                                                    Also, the way I understand this is if I hit 56% that pays 2-1 but 58% pays 4-1. Is that right?

                                                      In any sport? Who holds the money while we are waiting for the 100 plays to be played out? I'll take that bet if it is MLB.

                                                        Rainbow- That's fine with me the way you spelled it out.

                                                        Curious - We can do baseball if Ganch can convert the ML to units won that would equal 56% or whatever bet you want to make.

                                                        As far as who holds the money, let SBR make the rule on how they want this done. It ultimately is going to be held by a book and not SBR.

The spread went from Pitt -5.5 to Miami -1.5 back to Pitt -2 or so and everything in between. How can you prove what the line was when you made the bet?
