Bet I made with my buddy...

500 plays. 300 of them risking $75 or less, and you have to win $3000. I think 8 to 1 was a good price for him. Not many people will come out ahead after 500 plays. I would need 20 to 1 to give this a try, and I'd still be an underdog.

That's because i generally suck at picking, but would have fun giving this a try.

Are there any restrictions with the sports and the odds you can lay? If not, I have a ton of faith you can do this but I do think you got ripped off on the 8-1 somewhat.

GiveMeaBJ · 10-02-10, 06:13 AM

I definitley consider myself getting the worst of it. But really how fast can I make 500 plays? Over that time the $400 I am putting up is more for fun. I was trying to get 12 to 1 out of him but he wouldn't budge off of 6 to 1 for a while and I finally got him to go to 8 to 1. I just really wanted to test myself with a nice bonus if I can do it. Would be $6,200 if I could pull this off.

I can only play:
NFL
NCAAF
NHL
MLB
NBA
NCAA Hoops
All Lined Pro Tennis Matches
EPL
UEFA

I am not allowed to lay over -200 on any game.

he made a good bet

hokim · 10-02-10, 07:24 AM

I believe this is quite probable, simply speaking, if you keep your hitting rate above 56% on -110 or better lines.

OmgUrMom · 10-02-10, 07:33 AM

gl, are you allowed to go past +200 or does it have to between + and - 200?

fedtpels · 10-02-10, 07:39 AM

I would take it given the odds. good exercise in staying focused as well. BOL

Yea anything goes as long as I am not laying -200 or more.

amazing!

GiveMeaBJ · 10-03-10, 02:01 AM

I really hope I can win this. I am right now basing all of my plays off of $30 this way if 1 unit = $30 I certainly think +100 units is doable.

ejfel01 · 10-03-10, 03:17 AM

Your buddy can pack his 3k now... You can do it I feel it.

One thing: you should have kept an option where you or he can buy yourself out of the bet

He says over 500 plays I can't win over $3,000 making 150 plays risking $50-$0, 150 plays risking $50-$75, 150 plays risking $75-$150, and 50 plays risking $150-$250. I think given my odds it is worth it to try. Not only is it a fun little challenge for myself but to me I truly feel like I can do it. We are documenting on the SBR spreadsheets as we determined it is the easiest and quickest way to track. 138 more plays risking $50 or less. 150 more plays risking $51-$75. 150 more plays risking $76-$150. 50 more plays risking $151-$250. What do you guys think? Worth the odds I am getting?>

another bs story "yea you know john i give you 8-1 odds on 500 plays and i bet you you wont win more then 3000 lets put it in writing and pass me that corona light" get the fack out of here with this bs

Guess you don't have friends that gamble? I work at a card game and you would be surprised at some of the shit we bet on. Who can lose a certain amount of weight, how much the delivery guy will weigh, who can get laid before the other, who can eat 100 chicken nuggets, just anything.

Poker players will bet on strange shit. Helps break up the boredom of sitting around waiting for pocket aces.

good luck man, i definitely think this is possible. better odds would of been nice though

cankid · 10-03-10, 07:58 AM

Yes...spreadsheets cannot be trusted...you have several edited and deleted picks from your spreadsheet during and after games... The only way to really post picks is to post them in a thread like this...before the games and no editing...sorry to embarrass you but there has been a ton of deleting and editing of picks after the fact on your spreadsheet...

You have tons of them...pages and pages... I just pulled up the last few days...

Boner_18 · 10-03-10, 09:27 AM

Does it count if you don't actually pick the game but past post it?

Johnpoints · 10-03-10, 09:29 AM
