Ok, I think I'll get a lot of comers on this bet...

[IvyinBarondise]

I know we'll all still be here one year from now...

There are a few ??s about next season obviously, esp. with the Spurs...but I know Pop and Manu are coming back, so I'm willing to gamble Timmy does too...

I'm offering the following...

I'm taking the Spurs to repeat as NBA champions next season...

+700 is the number I'm willing to gamble at with all the ??s up in the air... Sportsbook is offering +750 (but then you gotta tie up the dough for a year...so here's my discount)

who wants 364 days of action?

I'll risk up to $200 of my own money with any member of CTG, and I'm maxing out my commitment at $2500.

I want the Spurs to win me $14,000.00 next season...

This offer expires in 30 days, but I reserve the right to cancel any further action at any given time should something crazy happen. But anyone who gets in the bet and I confirm it...gets in the action and it's locked for a year.

Who's in?

 

[STEED]

So what's your max risk amount....that makes no sense to me...

 

[STEED]

You'll only risk $200? Or you'll risk $2500?

 

[IvyinBarondise]

I'll risk $200 per person...200 to win 1400

$2500 in all...

but I will offer larger chunks to guys I've gambled with before like you Steed, Egg, Faz, and Cog

 

[IvyinBarondise]

CTG can risk up to $14,000 to win $2,000 against the Spurs winning the title...

$1,400 per member maximum

 

[STEED]

Ah. Why wouldn't you take more from wherever you can get it (or even first come, first in) instead of limiting it per user? Makes no sense.

But if ya decide to up it per member let me know.
GL

 

[IvyinBarondise]

i thought i'd give a lot of guys a chance to get in on this....but worm just told me how stupid i was...the number on sportsbook is +750 lol...

i'll offer a discount but not that much...i'm gonna have to edit this

 

[STEED]

Lol nothin like creating a thread for a bet and backing out five min later.

NY Times published an article night of the finals and put them at 6:1. Tied for second with OKC, and both behind Miami.

I won't do any more than 4 or maybe 5 to 1........so good luck wit it

 

[IvyinBarondise]

ok Steed...depending on action on this...

and seeing as how I always give people chances to win $$ back...

I'll talk to you closer to the season and we can talk about a price for a bet. BOL

 

[tipyerbartender1]

The Spurs will win it all and I'll book all your bets.

(Six posts later …)

Ahh, forget it.

 

[B.A.R.]

The Spurs will win it all and I'll book all your bets.

(Six posts later …)

Ahh, forget it.

:cigarguy:

 

[eggman]

I'll take the Spurs NOT to repeat as the NBA Champions.

$1,000 to win $200

Thanks.

 

[IvyinBarondise]

I will book that bet with you Egg...

Steed I'll offer the same price...

for you two, simply b/c we already booked bets...

anyone else want in...

based on the greek. com ...I'll offer 6-1 ...sportsbook isnt the best value out there so i'm reasonable...

Egg you confirmed?

Steed you want in?

 

[crawdads]

what did you win in ctg on the spurs title this year?

 

[tipyerbartender1]

I'm just grateful ivy started Max against me tonight. Tough little line.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

That's going to come back and bite me.

 

[STEED]

No thanks....

[Gyno]

Clippers going to win it all finally

 

[Inspekdah]

Yeah this line being offered should be more like +400/-400 as the odd is mentioned above.

Only team capable of beating SAS last year was a full strength and rolling Thunder squad. That didn't happen. Next year in the West it will only be an upgraded Rockets team.

That is if LBJ stays put.

If Melo goes to Chicago they win it all and Tibz turns the lazy goofball into an MVP candidate.

 

[IvyinBarondise]

That's one book....SB is offering +750...

another is offering +600...

It's all good... Just thought it'd be fun to bet a little on it

I don't use multiple (or any) books anymore...I always used a local, I don't shop prices...

I would rather you guys get the best price and I'll just open up an acct somewhere if I wanna bet it...BOL on next season's futures...

Egg...it looks as if you weren't getting top dollar value @ 5-1 against...

I'll keep our bet if you want, but you can cancel...just let me know

 

[eggman]

I'm out. I don't care enough. But if the Bulls play the Spurs in the Finals I'll mKe a wager with you.

 

[STEED]

Good cancel egg:

[IvyinBarondise]

yeah this thread was a waste of everyone's time...sorry lol

 

[eggman]

Not a waste, good to see odds, just too early and I'm more of a Bulls fan than an anti-Spurs fan anyway. BOL.

 

[IvyinBarondise]

lol well you might get bron it seems

 

[tru]

Timmy agrees to come back next year, ivy walkin around tha Honda parts department wit wood

 

[STEED]

Ivy....
Cavs are 4:1 and Spurs are 4:1 to win ship approx.

You take your squad and I'll take mine. If one wins the other pays, if neither win we wash it out. Cool for a dime?

 

[twinkie13]

You want the Cavs @ even money vs the Spurs? I might do that, but I think I'll probably do this closer to the season starting..leave this open

 

[STEED]

Correct. I would want it done by end of Aug. Ty GL

 

[SIGO]

[STEED]

GD Disney chicks lmao so true.

 

[STEED]

Oh, and bump x6

The guy has no time. Only 24 hrs in a day. Selling houses, meeting brokers, studying the best way to play Ace 3 off suit on the button with a 3 bet versus a guy in sunglasses heads up with a short stack..
