Bill Simmons (Sports Guy) and Sports Betting

[donjuan]

CU-Boulder, yes.

Nep, I will give you +160 for $40 bet.

Come on dj, give the guy a break. Just because someone throws out in passing that they'd "bet LeBron has one in game 6 or 7" doesn't mean they actually believe it's a better than 50% shot or that they'd be willing to bet on it more than just for fun. If you're as good of a value bettor as you seem to be you shouldn't need to be grabbing cash off guys just doing this for fun.

Well said..I don't think he is trying to be a dick. But the idea I'd put $1000 on this is nuts..

There are 2 things here:

1. Don't make retarded statements in passing. It really adds nothing of value.

2. I don't see the issue with making the prop bet. And if he thinks it's going to happen and gets +150 on it, that's a great bet for him.

I told you I was hoping for $1000, expecting more like $200. See my likely bet with Moneyline regarding Arod's strikeouts/hits in the postseason this year for why my expectations were such.

[NEP Dynasty]

I'll check it out. You ever find the PS username

[donjuan]

The bet Moneyline and I have talked about is on whether Arod will have more strikeouts or hits in the playoffs this year, should the Yankees make the playoffs. Each hit is worth $100 for me and each strikeout is worth $100 for him.

i wrote espn headquarters in bristol and told them i would appreciate if they didn't promote gambling on their shows. i enclosed a 6.5 hour dvd of all JJ's videos and show what betting does to people. they concurred.

i also asked if i could fukk rachel nikkols in the ass. they said no?

Asking people not to make retarded statements in passing on an internet forum is like asking Monica Lewinsky to stop sucking dick. Ain't gonna happen.

10,7, and 6 for Lebron at half. Looks like Bill Simmons has a chance at his triple double bet.

[donjuan]

Lebron now has the triple-double. Lucky me.

[NEP Dynasty]

Bill Simmons with the winner.

[jjgold]

Good video, these guys really do the research.

[Deuce]

Clown just hit his prop bet. Lebron had one tonight. Easy cash.
