Bizarro Land

So Kingspeed thinks there an above .500 team, I think they'll be 8 games under .500 at the ASB, so I was willing to meet him in the middle and make the bet on 4 games under .500. Nope!

You said "I bet you they are 8 games below .500 at the ASB" and I said yes. Now you're backing up and changing a bet YOU MADE.

 

[KingSpeed]

Dude... LMAO.

I bet you they're at least 8 games under .500 at the all-star break. It's funny that you say "The one game sample size is two small", yet formulate opinions with a ridiculous level of certainty based of 4-game, 6-game, 8-game sample sizes.

So when a team at the start of the season overperforms and beats a couple of good teams, you get extremely carried away. Suns "hottest team in the league" as well as "the best team if they hadn't played us". Orlando is now "for real" and a "playoff team". You get sooo carried away with small sample sizes. Smaller sample size means more standard deviation, means less accurate results (in the case, a less accurate record).

Quit getting carried away with small sample sizes. It's ridiculous.

His exact words.

I paid 200 bucks on a lost bet. I think that is the most someone has paid up (on here) yet.

I paid Mags $100 for bet Hillary would win. HCP and now BonesJones run from their bets.

Motherfucker, you said playoffs, and you're trying to use this to back up to 8 games under. I'm willing to meet you in the middle. Gtfo.

I'm not in the mood for your shit tonight.

Did I ever even say that I wanted to bet $100? You realize that "bet" doesn't necessarily mean putting $100 on the line?

 

[KingSpeed]

You said "I bet you." YOU made the bet. I just took it. I said yes to YOUR bet and gave a price. So you backed down on your bet AND didn't have enough confidence in your $100 to back up what you said. So no, you are the one who needs to GTFO.

 

[KingSpeed]

Orlando looks for real and there is no situation in which they'd want to give up Simmons and Fournier for Mo Harkless back. I know they get picks but it ain't gonna happen. Do you really think Orlando isn't a playoff team? It's not like their wins are close games against crappy teams. They are blowing out good teams on the road. The one game sample size of their loss to Chicago doesn't mean they should be looking to blow it up.

That sounds like a question. I never predicted anything about the Magic's record. YOU responded by offering a bet.

Okay, I'm going to just go ahead and say this. How a bet works:

Someone bets whatever wager

Person then AGREES to the WAGER of the bet.

All that was said (and all that you've said is proof, mind you) Is he bets you. Then YOU gave the price of the bet, to which was NOT agreed upon. The wager has to be agreed upon.

Therefore, it's not a bet. So stop trying to make it one. Now, move on from it, please.

Here's the same play from a different camera angle:



Help! I've fallen and I can't get up!

This is why old people shouldn't play basketball. It's all fun until someone falls and breaks a hip.

BNM

To me, it appears #15 from the Bucks kicked his Achilles out.

Wait, you get a Myth of Sisyphus reference!?

Did HCP ever pay?

Oh Boy... More popcorn.

 

[THE HCP]

I never agreed to a bet. Against my contract and league rules.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Should we settle up on this bet first?

By the way, you did pretty dang amazing. Got 8 out of 9 correct. But the bet was for all 9.

Show me where I agreed to November.

You really need to learn the difference between literal and figurative speech. For fucks sake dude, you're been unbearable lately. You're literally turning someone who's been cool with you more than many other people on here against you, all because you took what I said extremely literal, and are freaking out because I won't bet you $100.

That sounds like a question. I never predicted anything about the Magic's record. YOU responded by offering a bet.

When you start "You really don't think this will happen?" You're implying that you think it will, so don't play dumb. You think they'll be above .500, correct? I was willing to meet you in the middle and wager soldering other than cash, but your so stubborn that you're freaking out because I won't GAMBLE on what "I bet" (aka I think) will happen. Everytime you hear someone say "I bet this will happen..." You assume they're trying to put $100 on it?

Go to a casino to get your gambling fix taken care of.

But you... just... there's a PM... you typed words..... :MARIS61:

And unless its turned off, I know I get an email when someone sends me a message.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Really? What the heck man, just because you aren't happy with KingSpeed doesn't mean you need to take it out on me.

See the post you liked:

Do you want to do December instead?

Bulls have now won 7 straight. Lakers beat Rockets in Houston.

Exactly. I say to my son sometimes "I bet you this or that".

Is there gonna be an exchange of money between my son and I? No...

Yeah this season is the fucking twilight zone

 

[KingSpeed]

After starting the season 3-20, the Bulls have gone 10-2 often winning in dominating fashion.

 

[stampedehero]

Okay. I thought we'd show improvement from last year out of the gate. We have shown some improvement but it took longer because Turner needed more time and Aminu got hurt. I still think we can win 50-55 games.

With Turner on the bench in the 4thQ and more work for Shabazz.

[SIeepwalker]

The trash Warriors are 1st in the West at 28-8 while the great kings are only 12-23...

If that isn't Bizarro land I don't know what is !

 

[KingSpeed]

12 teams in East are on winning streaks
10 teams in West are on losing streaks

 

[THE HCP]

Warriors and Spurs and OKC are “trash”. We could beat them “if” they make the playoffs.
