SBR SPORTSBOOK PROP: Joe Paterno Statue taken down? BET NOW

SBR Lou · 07-13-12, 05:53 PM

Before the Freeh report, I'd say no. I think it has to come down now.

PickWinnerAllDay · 07-13-12, 05:54 PM

Will be vandalized if it stays up anyway so might get taken down due to that.

stevenash · 07-13-12, 05:55 PM

End date is 8/29?
What's the fine print? Taken down anyway, anyhow.
For instance if a bunch of drunk teen aged kids take it down, does that count as a win?

T-wizzle might risk arrest just to take the statue down himself to earn his 50 points.

Must be taken down in an official capacity.

Meaning if it is taken down in an unofficial capacity that the bet is no action?

No army of drunk douchebags are plowing down a statue of that size.

CarpeDime · 07-13-12, 06:01 PM

i didnt read the new report, but i have to think the no on this has huge value

they'll say "his actions were regrettable, blah blah blah, we are not proud of that aspect blah blah blah, but it should take away from the years of great service and the community and the blah blah blah"

SBR Chris · 07-13-12, 06:01 PM

1000 points to any user who takes the statue down.

Must have proof.

Cougar Bait · 07-13-12, 06:03 PM

It's on a 24-7 security watch, at some point it won't make fiscal sense to keep it up

Then again, they might hope this passes, hoping for the news cycle to gobble it up and move on

But my guess is it comes down...

stevenash · 07-13-12, 06:07 PM

I'm on the no than.

SBR Lou · 07-13-12, 06:08 PM

Get this crap down

PickWinnerAllDay · 07-13-12, 06:09 PM

Maybe they'll just scratch off the 'Humanitarian' part on the back wall.

Leave it up and have it guarded until people come to their senses.

Joe is a legend.

downsouth · 07-13-12, 06:59 PM

You know some drunk.kids will try.

InTheDrink · 07-13-12, 07:03 PM

+440 is ridiculously +ev with the 8/29 date being the key

Id have thrown all of my trivia free play at this if they'd let me

Boscoe · 07-13-12, 07:07 PM

no is definitely the play. 8/29 is very soon. there' still plenty of paterno loving freaks on the bot.

seriously lou?

me and my 10 year old son could drag that statue away in 2 minutes with nothing more than a truck and a chain

Boscoe · 07-14-12, 09:38 PM

The freak shows are going to let it stay for a while.

InTheDrink · 07-15-12, 11:25 PM

Do I need to wait til 8/29 to get paid for this?

Whos losing their job over this one? I'm guessing zero plays on yes?

jjgold · 07-16-12, 05:27 AM

I say the trustees like Jo too much and it will stay

Penn St does not care about those kids and the alumni do not care

I would close the school down for good

konck · 07-16-12, 05:33 AM

I think they leave it and sit a kids buns right on top of Joe's pointer finger to remind other schools how much Penis st wants to win

shari91 · 07-16-12, 05:39 AM

Max on NO.

Thanks for the free points sucker.

mp5070 · 07-16-12, 08:41 AM

The "Cut off Date" means that this is the last day for the statue to be up or down? Like for example, if the statue gets taken down Sept. 1st, does "no" win the bet because it happened after August 29th?

Thanks.

will2survive · 07-16-12, 09:51 AM

wow +440 for no? ---that's "EZ Points". It's not taken down because he didn't commit the "assault (however you want to put it". People would riot if it got taken down. This is the easiest prop ever!

d2bets · 07-16-12, 09:55 AM

Did the odds on this flip? +440 on the Yes?

thetrinity · 07-16-12, 09:57 AM

whats the max on this?

SBR Chris · 07-16-12, 09:58 AM

PUBLIC PRESSURE HAS CHANGED THE ODDS.

EXOTIC BETTING - Aug 29
Aug 29 - 12:00 AM		WILL PENN STATE JOE PATERNO STATUE BE TAKEN DOWN?
	1	YES	+440<input name="text_" value="1_169247_0_440" type="checkbox">
	2	NO	-500

thetrinity · 07-16-12, 09:59 AM

guys the odds have flipped.

thetrinity · 07-16-12, 10:00 AM

good job guys who had no +440, the new odds are more accurate.

TheMoneyShot · 07-16-12, 10:02 AM

It's coming down. There are rumors surfacing that if Penn State officials don't take it down... some group will plan on doing some dirty work to the statue... like chopping the head off etc.

d2bets · 07-16-12, 10:34 AM

Talk about a line move! Wish I had seen this earlier. I think it's 50/50.

Agreed. Anything can happen.

It's a good prop.
