Thumbs up What a wild ride, thanks Bread!

A duel for the ages. I just beat Bread +2.95 to +2.89. What a duel! He trailed me +3.95 (5-1-1) to -.11 (3-3). Knowing that he had to go 4-0 I was only making one pick more no matter what. Well, he went 4-0... no he didn't! He canceled his Pistons -6 bet apparently not realizing that that automatically gave me the win. The Pistons covered but he canceled his pick.

I was at work away from computers. When I got home I checked all the games. I saw all four games had gone his way so I posted saying "congrats." Then I see that he canceled his Pistons pick so I do math. Not realizing that every pick is to win one unit I thought he had beaten me +3.12 to 2.95 (due to the Steelers being +123). Then I see that all plays are to win one unit, so I won +2.95 to +2.89. What a roller coaster!

Thanks for a great duel Bread. Best of luck in the future!

Hi Fearless,

That's true of favorites but the terms on dogs are as follows (per round 1 rules and info thread).

So at +123, you are risking 1u to win 1.23.

That wasn't my understanding. I saw it explained like a +1.23 bet means that you're wagering .8 units or whatever. Crap.

Congrats Bread. If that wasn't the rule then you wouldn't have canceled the Pistons bet and you would have won anyway.

You realize that keeps the hail mary effect in play. In a close contest a +123 line is the equivalent of a hail mary.

Anyways, in this case he wouldn't have canceled his Pistons bet if the rules were different so he would have won anyway.

Congrats fearless, good work on the first round. Bread just doesn't seem to have good luck with contests, but you obvious know your craft.

Thanks but I wasn't clear on the rules so I lost. To add insult to injury, the Clipper game wasn't listed for the contest so I couldn't have picked it even if I was home and I wasn't.

I canceled the Pistons bet only because the rule existed, and the way the scoring works, it was more advantageous for me to try to go 2-0 instead of 3-0. But like you say, I would've hit that one too.

Good match!

Breads always one step ahead of the game...

Keep exploiting the worst rules of a contest.

You guys are something with these contests and it is like 10k on the line

Bread lets make the stakes high tough guy

I will go head to head with you in a contest and here is the bet

Whoever wins can bang the other guy in the ass and also gets a blow job.................. talk about a pressure bet which actually does not have a price tag on it. Think it over and of course consequences if you lose.

Thanks

Bread is sharp. He exploided a newly created rule even though it didn't really benefited him. After he got screwed last time he deserved this win. Can someone please fix next round's draw so I can have Bread?

AOO it would be te sickest bet of all times on forums, can you imagine the fukkin pressure it would be???

AOO of course hypothetical but can you imagine this, say I win and we meet up at a hotel.

So I guess we both have robes on and then take them off and Bread I guess gets on the fukkin bed and I stand on bed with I guess my head near the ceiling and Bread blows me and then I pound him with my 2.5'' pecker.

Your right that is sick!! I am now getting cold feet.

I am getting ready for work, but I could have sworn a while ago when I read AAO's first message, it was showing up as coming from JJ GOLD.

JJ....It's time to switch to decaf sport.

It's way too early for your mind to be racing like this...

This is not the forum for such posts! All this speak of sodomy and such! Off to the Private Thread with this nasty talk! I think that's where they hide the porn here. If not, I need to know where to find it.
