Boston Just Won The Series!

[barman]

That Celtic +130 after Game #1 is looking even sweeter now.

I can almost feel my RandomTica as presented by NESADV when I finally make that trip to CR

Practicing my Spanish starting with, "oh baby, that's right...."

Nothing against you BL.

Why would you offer such odds ?

You can lay -570 at Matchbook on Celts, why lay -750 ?

I'd never take a bet like this from a poster, I'd say:

Self: Why is this guy offering me +750 on something he bet at -570 ?

If the +750 is good as gold ( from you) then you offer scalps to posters, against you. If you can pay the +750, why can't you post up at MB, or credit bet somewhere ?

I do agree that LAL should be more like +900.

I just think RX shouldn't really condone/ allow threads with its posters betting each other. Bad things tend to happen.

 

[Fishhead]

Two things come to mind in this thread(being a boston sports fan).

In the early 80's, nobody gave the Celtics a chance to come back from a 3-1 games deficit to the 76ers in the conference playoffs..........and they did.

And how can any Boston sports fan forget the incredible comeback by the Red Sox in 2004 when down 3 games to ZERO to the Yankees in the playoffs, and coming back to win the series.

DO NOT COUNT THE LAKERS OUT...........this is expecially directed at my fellow Celtic fans.

Ideally, I would like to see the Celts wrap it up at home in game SIX............I sure as hell don't want to sweat a game seven out.

I find it amazing that it's only -570. Not just historically that no one has EVER come back from 3-1 - even if you give the Lakers game 5, with 2-3-2, Celts getting 6 and 7 at home if needed, I would make this about 15-1 or more?! Weird.

:think2:

 

[Doug]

-1500 is too strong, but -570 seems low, I split it to about -900, maybe -1000

 

[barman]

I promise to not count my chicas before they munch (me).

 

[Brock Landers]

i'm giving +750, so far no takers...

 

[Doug]

i'm giving +750, so far no takers...

why not lay -570, Brock ?

Why are you trustworthy to payout at +750 ?

Poster to poster bets have a way of going bad.

I could take your +750 for a dime, and bet MB at better than -600, how do I know you will send me $7,500 if I win ?

that's why you have no takers. Look at WVU and J-man, not just posters, but mods.

No solid reason to trust you to pay if you lose, sorry but true, why should I trust you to pay me $7,500 , or $750 ?

I have no problem with you, Brock.... but I can't risk trusting you to pay !

The only way would be to have both of us send funds to a trusted 3rd party, that may as well be Matchbook.... then you should just take the -570, right ?

why are you questioning my integrity? Ask anyone who has wagered with me in the past, i have paid! So take it or leave it

Quick, how many teams have been down 3-1 in the Finals?

 

[Cusipz]

28

I question it because you are laying -750, instead of -570, why not just bet it at -570 yourself, Brock ? You also have to trust me ( or another) to pay you. Why would you trust me ? How do you know I'd send you the $100 or $1,000 ?

It does work both ways.

I don't get into these deals, nor am I bookie.

I intend no offense to you.

 

[Biggamer3]

name your bet...

50 bucks at the stated odds

 

[luckyjack]

Brock, I'm not questioning your integrity, but why would you pay someone 750, when you can get it at a lot less.

 

[Cusipz]

It's now -580 on Boston at Matchbook... wtf?:think2:

 

[Brock Landers]

50 bucks at the stated odds

you are on!
