Would you like to play a game ?

 

[COOL MAN]

How about.......Global Thermonuclear War ??

 

[MountaineerLegion]

Yea, sure.......

 

[Orlaco]

Yea, sure.......

Here's my suggestion....and it would be open to all posters.

--You and I would alternate weekly picking 4 games to wager credits on AGAINST THE SPREAD.

--Each person starts with 10 (or maybe more) credits.

--Each person could wager as many credits as they want (or none at all) on each game

--If a person falls to zero credits he or she is eliminated.

That's the basics...and I think it would be a good tutorial for those not familiar with sports wagering and a fun challenge for everybody. If interest is high then maybe V would offer some type of subscription as a prize to the winner (or if not I'd cover it UNLESS I win then you'd have to do it)

Thoughts ?

[Orlaco]

Oh yea... ...if WVU is playing that game would always be one of the four

 

[MountaineerLegion]

I'm in. Whose lines will we be using? How do you want to pick the games? Do we each pick 4 of our own or do we all pick the same 4 games? Deadline for picks to be in?

I like the idea....

We can use that site (we both know) you use on a regular basis for the lines.
I was thinking that the 4 games would be picked by us two on alternating weeks. You could start with tomorrow's games....or maybe start it all next weekend to give people a chance to read and join.

 

[MountaineerLegion]

So basically each week one of us would post the line for the 4 games, say Friday evening by 7pm. Then we go from there by posting our picks with a credit amount for each game? We could devote a single thread for this project and everyone can play along keeping track of their credits of course. I can put 4 games up here in a half hour unless you wanted to promote this another week. I would rather you start the dedicated thread because always use catchy thread topics.....

 

[Orlaco]

People seem to like my nephew (low milk) more than me....so maybe I'll ask him to start it. We'll feel out the interest before starting it week one....although there's a great chance that not wagering is the best first option anyway.

 

[MountaineerLegion]

GSU @ WVU -17.5

Penn St -6.6 @Temple

Arizona St @ Texas A&M -3

Ville @ Auburn -10

These are current lines as of 6:30pm

 

[MountaineerLegion]

We could use this week as a dry run with the games posted. This may generate interest..... The nephew is well liked.

 

[MountaineerLegion]

I'm going to get something to eat I will be back around 8

 

[Orlaco]

All games tomorrow?

 

[MountaineerLegion]

yes.... I think????

 

[MountaineerLegion]

I got:

WVU
Penn St
Az St
Ville

1 credit each.

 

[Orlaco]

GSU @ WVU -17.5

Penn St -6.6 @Temple

Arizona St @ Texas A&M -3

Ville @ Auburn -10

These are current lines as of 6:30pm

Looks like it may just be us two..... ....can you verify that PSU spread?

---WVU - 17.5 for 1 credit
---PSU -6.5 for 2 credits
---ASU +3 for 1 credit
---No action on Auburn/'Ville

You ok with ties being a push ? Plus we can allow people to join until next week and still get ten credits.....because there's a good chance that'll put them in the lead.

 

[MountaineerLegion]

I'm good with the next week thing. I can verify the PSU line of -6.5 as of last evening. I didn't check this morning. Ties would push......


I just checked and it is -6.

 

[MountaineerLegion]

Wow... WVU now -16.5


Money coming in on Georgia State.

 

[Orlaco]

Let's just go with the line at the time they're originally posted here by one of us.

 

[BobbyBoucheer]

I'm in.

All 10 credits on Penn St -6

 

[Orlaco]

Welcome....please note the PSU spread is -6.5.

 

[MountaineerLegion]

I see what you did there.... Most will not catch it.

 

[MountaineerLegion]

I like gambling with people like Bobby :cool2:

 

[BobbyBoucheer]

Welcome....please note the PSU spread is -6.5.

Fprio said the line was -6 for Penn St. So who's line are we using?

 

[Orlaco]

Fprio said the line was -6 for Penn St. So who's line are we using?

The original one he attempted to post. He accidentally put 6.6 so I asked him to clarify....and at the time he picked the games it was PSU -6.5.

I picked PSU too....

 

[BobbyBoucheer]

So, my bet doesn't count then?

 

[Orlaco]

It does.. ...at -6.5.

You can cancel if you want in the next couple of minutes since we're working through first week issues.

 

[BobbyBoucheer]

I'll keep it at -6.5 and yes i know that Temple just scored.

 

[MountaineerLegion]

I will cancel my PSU pick..... and will let you know about my Ville pick in 10 minutes.

I just spit my Woodford and 7-Up on my keyboard.....


That is funny.. But seriously, I meant it on the Ville pick....

 

[Orlaco]

I will cancell my PSU pick..... and will let you know about my Ville pick in 10 minutes.

You think I was too forgiving ?

 

[BobbyBoucheer]

I'm out. Lol. All ten credits.

 

[Orlaco]

Fprio, I like your earlier suggestion that we use this as a test week.....maybe get more people involved.

....plus it gives BB a second chance ( even though there was already a second chance offered)

 

[MountaineerLegion]

You think I was too forgiving ?

LOL.... And by the way it looks Iike I will keep my Ville pick on the board...

 

[MountaineerLegion]

Good idea. I will Tweet about our Site Sponsored contest to draw up more attention. Plus it might pick up more traffic here..... fprio1 is a big hit on Twitter also.
