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!

I hope I win! :D If not, then I have no problem giving my money away to my friends.

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!

Roy was washed up and atrocious last year, but he still was handed playing time by Nate because of what he used to be years ago instead of being played minutes based off what he can provide now. Roy bitched to get shots so he could get his 12+ PPG. Roy could easily play like shit all season, hurt the team every time he's on the court, and put up 12ppg again. That is what some of us sadly expect from Roy and fear as then his presence would prevent this team from having success. Ricky Davis scored 20ppg for a season but that doesn't mean he was a valuable NBA player.

I'd put money down that Roy has a crappy PER, or a crappy FG% like he did last season. But I'm not going to bet against him having a scoring output that he can obtain even when playing like shit.

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!

Thank god that at least you didn't tell them about me being double jointed.

So maybe adding he must shoot 43% or higher too? Or maybe if the team must finish in the top 5 seeds in the west? I can add either one of them.

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. :D

I bet $20.

I was thinking about suggesting the FG% thing too, but I didn't want to try to add more to the already generous terms. But if the whole thing is about Roy being valuable to the team, then yeah, that should probably be in there.
 
Okay Roy must shoot at least 43% or higher. Will be added to this bet. Wow I am fucking crazy. Oh well.

Hey--rookie-year Brandon did basically what you're betting on (except he was a little short on games played), and that was in a year where Zach was the unquestioned top player/black hole on the team. If he's healthy enough to play the games & minutes you listed, no reason to think he can't do the rest.

That's kinda what I'm hoping for. The Brandon of "Rookie of the year". He obviously was #2 yet he helped his team. Those numbers would give room for Aldridge to have an allstar caliber year. Hopefully it pans out.
 
Well the 43% thing would make me consider it, at first I was thinking hell no since your terms seemed attainable with Roy playing like shit. Year that makes it more fair.

But now that I think about it more I just don’t want to have a long multi month bet where I have to continually root against someone who is a part of my favorite team.
 
i think mags is gonna take all yalls money, if everyone wanted better odds you could just go to a sportsbook, im sure youd get better than +50 odds on -----16.5 ppg...

and for the record mags, your going to have half the board rooting for roy to fail now :(

I respect that 100%. I haven't rooted against a single player on this team until they leave the team. Well hopefully you are wrong and I win this bet. Like I said above. I'd probably just take the winnings and buy a couple tickets for one of you guys anyways. :P

Then don't root against the player. Root against yourself. Take the bet, and hope you lose. Or, the way I'm looking at it is--"buy" good production from Roy, and get a 150% refund if he fails to deliver.

Yeah I know people who do this, they bet against their school in the big bowl game so either they get a big win and are happy or they lose and get a bunch of money. You win either way right?

But I look at it like you also are guaranteed to lose. meh

Well not exactly Draco. Basically Roy could average 16 points a game and hit all the other marks and I still lose. Doesn't mean you want Roy to fail. You just don't want Roy to score an average of 16.5 points a game. The others you can hope for like 80% of the games played, shooting over 43%, etc. :wink:
 
Well Mags, I'm in for $50 and hope you win!

regardless of who wins, I might need to be reminded. But if you win, It will be a pleasure to ship the cash.

Peace


(make sure you feel comfortable with all the bets you are taking on. Feel free to back out in this thread prior to the start of the first game. After that, locked in.)
