man with those odds, makes me want to try to put the fix on!!!

blueedwards · Aug 4, 2003

8-1??? that is way too low. my opponent is 37-1 which would mean a series wager would be something like:

smoothie +340
blue edwards -420

the sharpies would bang the dog until it was bloody. i cap the series between us flat and cap me at 16-1 to win the tourney.

Blue , these odds are to win the whole tournament...

blueedwards · Aug 4, 2003

j-man, i know. i think i'd pound smoothie at 37-1 then hedge after he beats me in the first round

blueedwards · Aug 4, 2003

odds that mfg and raiders square off in the second round and, due to the intense competition, actually come out of this tourney as friends:

yes +260
no -300

I'm just hoping McIrish doesn't pound me to bad.
Good luck Patrick not that you'll need it.

I'm going with playersonly69. Us Aggies need to stay together. (saw that in another post).

Gig 'Em Player.

I opened the last tourney at 5-1 or 6-1. This one at 13-1 no doubt due to my barely squeezing by MFG (by losing less money) and getting demolished in the 2nd round of the earlier tourney.

My first round matchup vs a 9-2 Docdekay isn't good news either.

Maybe if I can pull off the upset here I can get seeded against outandup, and we can have a matchup to see who are the better cappers, conservatives or liberals.

I am not exaggerating in the least when I say this:
I have gone 2 and 13 in my last 15. These past 12 days have been absolutely brutal.

If things continue as is, you win easy. This is not some reverse psychology bullshit either. I have been attrocious. GL.

FunkSoulBrother · Aug 4, 2003

Hopefully things turn around for you Doc (for your outside of the contest bets)

That said, I've been on a roll the past 2 weeks, for what its worth. Nothing like 13-2 but probably a solid 60%

FunkSoulBrother · Aug 5, 2003

There is a lot of chalk tonight.

Journeyman · Aug 5, 2003

you got that right Funk...

wait til you see wednesday`s card, many large favorites...

blueedwards · Aug 5, 2003

calling out smoothie...where you at??

old boy is laying in the weeds waiting for me to get buried...just might work.

i guess when you're a 37-1 shot you let it all ride on one or two days.

jjgold · Aug 5, 2003

railbird easy

RPM · Aug 5, 2003

chalk 'em up baby!~

blueedwards · Aug 5, 2003

wow, big chalk came in on tuesday. who's got the balls to lay that wood again today...

FunkSoulBrother · Aug 6, 2003

Thank you Mariano Rivera!

FunkSoulBrother · Aug 7, 2003

Nice call on Detroit Blue!

blueedwards · Aug 7, 2003

thanks fsb. i played the "zito hasn't been sharp + bonderman revenge angle". worked out although, i was lucky to win as the runs zito gave up were unearned.

this is a fun tourney...now i just have to wait and see who my opponent picks and pull hard the other way.

good luck to all except smoothie.
