SG

[hockeyguru]

Well it's about time SG. I've been waiting for you to creep up the standings since day 2 of the season. You're my only real competition in this race so when I saw you in 123rd or so place after day 2 I stopped posting. Now that I see that you're right on my tail I'm going to have to get back to posting plays. Remember, if you thought last year's playoff pool was painful, just wait until this race ends. Last year I was having a grand old time sampling different brews in Europe while you were sweating out the games. Where do you think that I should go this year while you pull your hair out while praying for an empty netter that will never come? I was thinking of sampling some rum in the barbados after I lock this thing up.

So as soon as you pass me, email me so that I can start posting again. Remember buddy, we're going to be 1-2 in this when it counts and you know who'll be #1. You know, I was thinking of winning this thing by 25 units but I thought that it would be more interesting if I beat you by .05 units. I want you to have visions of the big check being couriered to your house only to have me bungy jumping from your rooftop and grabbing the check out of your hands. I'm sure that the 2nd place prize isn't that bad.

So, get your head out of your ass buddy and start making some decent picks so that I can have some competition!!

Later-HG

 

If you win this thing, I will NETeller you 200 bucks. If I win, you don't have to send me nothing, how is that. That's how sure I am that you won't win this thing. You are going down my friend. Last years pool, we were fighting for 3rd place, and you beat me out by 1 measly pt. Big deal. It was only for 100 dollars that 3rd spot. But when this one is all said and done, it won't be worth only 100 dollars, it will be for thousands. And when I beat you out of it, if you think I was hurt last year, wait till you see how you will feel.

I hope you start posting your picks soon, because I really do wanna kick your ass in front of the whole world to watch. I was wondering why you weren't posting. Remember, there are a minimum of 500 plays you have to make to be eligible. Right now, you're nowhere near on pace to achieve this. Wouldn't it be funny if you win this thing, only to find out you only had 492 picks and get disqualified. So get back in it, and it will be great to see you here.

Good luck, because you will need it, mark my words. I have got my confidence back now.

Well SG,
You know what the sweetest part of the title will be- who gives a rat's ass about the big prize?
But, the $200 out of your pocket will be sweet.
Thanks for the added incentive. I'm assuming that you mean USD right- don't want this to turn into a Great White Welcher part deux!!

 

200 USD, and it won't make a difference because you ain't winning it anyway. Boy, you are really a cocky guy, I like that.

And I'll tell you what, if you win this thing by 25 units, like you say, I will send you 2 dimes USD and pay for your trip for you and your wife to Barbados. Is that an incentive enough for you? But don't hold your breath. You'd be lucky if you you're even in the top 50 at the end. All of a sudden, this contest has now become even more fun now that you are involved. It makes me wanna go back and study even harder.

Good luck, but please do me one favor, whatever you do, when you fall way out of it and you're in 88th place, whatever you do, don't quit, and lose interest.

.05 units sg, .05 units- that's what I want to win this thing by. I want you to have a 4 unit lead going into the final day of action. I want you to have taken your credit card out of your pocket and spent your winnings already before I sweep the title away from you.

Because, that's what friends are for!!

 

I thought Sick Gambler would give me money if I win too...i wrote it somewhere....

 

So i guess you've changed your mind about winning this thing by 25 units, eh? /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Anyway, good to see you again, and best of luck to you, cause you will need it. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

 

yes crazy, only if you're +100 units this year, like you said you would be. But after last night, you now have your work cut out. /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

Sick, I like the way you slipped in the 500 minimum bet deal.......I think it went over guru's head or he just didn't bite.....


Good puck luck..

gotta,

I don't understand what you are trying to say. I said this because I'm trying to help the guy. We all know that's the rule from Day 1, and I didn't want to see him miss out on this and end up getting disqualified. He did bet today at least. I woke him up. He owes me now. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Sic Gambler will be extreamly lucky to finish not only in the + but in the top 50 players on the board. Young kids like this talk a good game but rarely back their words. He's been negative the whole contest so far except for one lucky day. Lots of hot air in the room.

 

bushay,

You're right, if it wasn't for the last 2 days, I'd be in deep trouble. But I'm a streaky guy. But it's not me that talks a big game, it's Hockeyguru. Ok, so maybe i do talk a big game, but it's all in good fun.

 

what a bad beat in that Pitt game. I was happy splitting it, till Super Mario has to hurt his buddy like that. That OT goal by Florida cost me 2.55 units. /infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif
