Who wants to win a sucker bet from me?

[magnifier661]

I bet BRoy will average 16.5 points / 4 rebounds / 4 assists a game @ 30 minutes a game. Play in 80% + more games. I get a 1 rebound and 1 assist cushion. No cushion on points. He must score 16.5 or higher in order for me to win.

I will take 2/1 odds @ $20 min/$100 max per bet (Must bet $20 to get $10 from me). All of you can bet against me.

I know I know! They are all fools to try and bet against me.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Wow

 

[THE HCP]

Listen son, if you just want to toss your money out the window, at least buy HCPJr. a XMAS gift first!

 

[magnifier661]

Wow

Well I thought you would be one of the first to jump on board MM.

 

[BrianFromWA]

so the bet would be $100 to get $50 that Roy will be above ALL of the following:

1) 52 games (I'll be generous and round down from 52.8)
2) 30 mpg
3) 16.5 points
4) 3 assists
5) 3 rebounds?

If so, I'm in.

Just to be clear, is this whether or not he's in a Blazer uniform doing so? Or do I have to root against whatever team picks him up as well?

 

[magnifier661]

If I knew you and your son personally; I would have no problem doing that. Then again, if we knew each other personally; I would expect some back court passes as well.

Let's just say I have somewhat of an addictive personality, so I will refrain from gambling on this.

Yep! You are on lock. And the great thing about this board is this can't be deleted; so no one can say they didn't bet. Trust me... I've always paid too. Ask Sly and my payments for his sexual favors. I have his paypal account memorized!

 

[Draco]

What stats do you want to bet at 1:1 odds?

 

[BrianFromWA]

I don't ask sly about his sexual favors. Not since that night in....nevermind.

 

[magnifier661]

What stats do you want to bet at 1:1 odds?

Hmmmm good question. 12 points / 2 rebounds / 2 assists.

How about you and I wager without money? How about everytime Roy has a 16+ point performance, you go on this board and say you "Mags is mighty!". And everytime he doesn't I post "Mediocre Man is mighty!"

My initial thought is no thank you, but let me get back to you on that

Well it just surprises me that hardly anyone is jumping on this bet.

 

[ABM]

I'm in for $40. What the hey.................

 

[Nikolokolus]

It is a sucker bet, but the payout is shit. Give me 3/2 odds and you've got yourself a deal for $30 ($20 if I win, $30 if you win).

Sorry you must take the odds given. If you want 1:1, then you see my offer.

You're in!

he put up 12.2/2.6.2.7 last year, so the 1:1 bet is skewed in your favor mags

the 16.5 is going to be close me thinks though

exactly Brain! I'm just curious if some of these posters that think Roy is all washed up puts their money where their mouth is. Obviously my 16.5 points and 80% of games played would make them take the bet in a heartbeat!

 

[BrianFromWA]

it's the 30mpg for 52 games that I think is unsustainable, but if he pulls it off with 16.5ppg, then it's worth my 100 jermajesties. If he does what I think he'll do, my little boy gets $50 towards his John Deere stock fund.

 

[Blazinaway]

I'm in for $50 Mags. I win I get $25, U win you get the $50. BTW what was the answer if he did end up going to another team? combine the stats or bets off?

Signed

Blazinaway and
Surge from Olive!

I have no doubt that Roy will fail to reach those milestones (especially since they are "AND" props and not "OR") I just have a "moral" objection to such crappy odds.

Well if it's 100% likely it will not happen, then a $50 investment for a 50% return is pretty damn good. Don't you agree?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I'm in. I like Brian's logic. How much would I pay to ensure that Roy had that kind of production for the season? Yeah, $100 sounds reasonable. Plus, I already feel like I owe you for springing for the Game 3 tix, so this actually feels pretty even to me.

Now, what's your Greg Oden sucker bet?

Get on the other thread and make a free one. I think this positive energy will pan out for our team. I love positive energy. Oh and P.S., I will probably take all winnings and give a ticket to some lucky smuck in this forum. I'm just putting my money where my mouth is.

Oops so you are in for $100 right?

 

[BlazerBeav5]

Eh what the hell. Put me in for $100.

It's a win-win situation, if Brandon averages higher then those numbers (which I honestly hope for) its great for the team. If he doesn't, well at least it was good for me. You're looking at a big payout if he does great Mags!
