Betcha!

Post by W »

We bicker a lot on this site. I just had an idea that I thought might be kind of fun... Let's turn these arguments that are measurable into a game. Say Shryke says Movie A is going to win the weekend, but you think Movie B is going to win. Bet him $5. Or, let's say Buscemi says something you consider unconventional is going to happen, give him 10:1 odds.

It doesn't have to be just films either. If Geezer says the Packers are going all the way, bet him that they won't make the NFC championship. I see potential for a lot of fun.

Basically, start out with $50, the person with the most cash at the end of the calendar year wins. If you run out of cash, you're out.

Anyone want to play?

Bankrolls:
Barca $90
Shryke $55
Tranny $55
SS $48
Banks $75
W $50
#6 $65
Ozzy $55
Geezer $40
Buscemi $53

Upcoming odds:
6/30-7/4 (1:1) Twilight Saga: Eclipse - over/under $150 M 5-day OW?
7/1-7/4 (1:1) The Last Airbender - over/under $35 M 4-day OW?
7/9-7/11 (1:1) Higher 3-day OW: Despicable Me or Predators?
7/9-7/11 (1:1) The PTA winner for this weekend will be over/under 1500 theaters?

Outstanding bets:
6/30-7/4 Ron B. has $5 on Twilight under $150 M.
7/1-7/4 SS has $5 on Airbender over $35 M.
7/9-7/11 Buscemi has $5 on Twilight over 70% drop.

Past bets:
5/28-5/31 Buscemi has $5 on Sex 2 to win the 4 day weekend vs Shryke.
5/28-5/31 W has $5 on Sex 2 to win the 4 day weekend vs Shryke.
5/28-5/31 Surfer has $5 on Sex 2 to win the 4 day weekend vs Barca.
5/28-5/31 Geezer has $10 on Sex 2 to win the 4 day weekend vs Barca.
6/4-6/6 Buscemi has $5 for Splice to have a bigger 3-day OW than Killers vs. W.

I'll take that bet.... does that mean that I have to bet my own pick, or is just accepting the fact that SatC2 won't win enough?

You bet me and Busc $5 Sex 2 won't win the four day weekend (right?), so if anything else wins, you're up $10.
