JD's "I suck worse than anyone here" thread

[JDeuce]

For those of you who aren't aware, PatsFan and I have a bet.

I've been sucking so hard lately that I don't think I'll be able to do better than 34 wins on my next 100 plays. PatsFan thinks that's EV for him...he wouldn't be saying that if he looked at my recent record!

Anyway, this is a simple W/L prop. Plays count for one win or loss. I'm doing this for fun and to prove a point to myself, but I really, really encourage you to fade the fuck out of these plays if you'd like to cash in big time. Here goes with my opening slate for tonight...may add some 2H plays. If I do, they'll go in this thread. Figured it'd be easier than polluting the other picks thread with this.


Cavs -5.5
Bucks +1
GS -1
Magic +8
Lakers +7


Louisville -11

I'm feeling a nice 1-5 start at best. Let the games begin!

 

[festeringZit]

I agree with PatsFan that 34 wins in next 100 plays is +EV for him.

 

[ScottL]

LOL - You don't suck. How can you suck when you just made the best thread title ever?

 

[ScottL]

Fuck I want in on this action! I say you finish within 10 games of 50-50.

 

[The Guesser]

Pats fan will easily win this one, and he'll likely have it wrapped up considerably before 100 bets.

All comers are more than welcome to join in. $100 good for you? We can all settle through mods after we're done.

10 games within 50-50? If you mean 10 wins in 50 games, that's about what I'm expecting my finish to be as well!

Maybe we can tier this. If I finish with...

20-25 wins: I win $300
25-30 wins: I win $200
30-34 wins: I win $100
35-40 wins: Scott wins $100
41-45 wins: Scott wins $200
46-50 wins: Scott wins $300
51+ wins: We say goodbye to our loved ones since the apocalypse must be near


I find it incredibly amusing that you guys think PatsFan has a chance in this contest. You really don't know what you're up against here.

I'm thinking this is already one of the greatest threads ever....just based on the title.

I gave you crap in your own good riddance thread, but I'm not too proud to make fun of myself when I deserve it. In retrospect, I should have titled it "I suck worse than anyone except Finch."

Just wait and see how cocky I get after I start hitting in the 20% range!

Lol.....i think I need to tail these instead of fade.....now that losing wins for you....I see 70 percent winners in this thread.

 

[festeringZit]

Ill take that action for $100

You're certifiably insane. But you're in. Anyone else who wants in, just post in here before the NBA tips off tonight. I'm sure we can offer some live totals for my wins as the contest goes on.

I have an idea for the payout terms since this is more of a fun bet. Either we can settle through the mods or this will be payable at next summer's proposed Vegas bash. For some reason, I have a feeling if the lot of us hung out at a sports book for a few hours, we'd actually enjoy each other's company instead of wanting to rip out each others throats. Just a thought...it would force you pathetic fuckers to attend. I'll be there for sure. If it's cancelled or whatever, you can pay me through the mods after I inevitably whoop all your asses. I think if I push myself, I can get below 30 wins.

Not exactly what I was thinking but I'll take your offer - We have a Wager at your parameters in post #6

No jacking up the lines against you though


Irony? People fight so hard in here to embarrass each other. JD has just opened a thread where he either posts a poor record OR he loses money. He can't win, literally!

 

[vitterd]

Festering Zits thread with that chick/dude email thing is in jeopardy. This has potential to beat that one.

 

[The Guesser]

This is a novel approach to busting a slump. Good job.

 

[MantisToboggan]

This is pretty funny. Ha, love the generosity, JD, basically handing out free 100s.

 

[SheriffJoe]

be careful tailing/fading someone if most of the "sucking" occurred in a different sport, i.e. my picks totally suck in football, now fade me in hoops.

the dynamics aren't the same.

 

[JDeuce]

You people seriously don't get it. What Scott called a "brutal" loss on ASU last night has become more routine than unusual. But you'll see.

Standard sports apply...Football, bases, hoops, hockey, and some Euro soccer. We're all citizens of the world, aren't we? Lines can be easily verified at iOdds or some such.

Scott, you're on. Except the typo I have here:

25-30 wins: I win $200
30-34 wins: I win $100

Obviously meant 31-34 win nets me $100.

Other than that...anyone else who wants to step right up, please do so!

Slump insurance. You should go on shark tank with the concept.

Wrong...there is no insurance. I'm posting my actual plays, not just throwing darts. Although I might just jump into an ocean without a tank if this keeps up much longer.

Although speaking of insurance, know what I did after I made those six plays tonight? I immediately did a six-team parlay of the opposite sides. Why? Because I'm concerned there's a very legitimate chance I'll go 0-6. Already had two o-fers this week.

I'm warning everyone now, don't come crying to me when you have to hack your way through one of those W2G (or whatever the fuck they're called) forms the IRS makes you fill out gambling winning forms every April. You WILL profit from fading me, you CAN put "Fading JD's shitty picks" in the box where it asks for source of income, but you're on your own after that.
