Haha, same here man, same here. But it wasn't roulette (i don't like gamble), it was depths at local bar. I had over 500$! Payed the half so far and 250 still  yet to pay. My mother would probably kick me out house if she only knew what's going on in that sick little bar 2 streets from my home. :)

What were you betting on?


Title: Official RaptorsGM's NFL suicide pool
Post by: KingsGM-old on September 25, 2005, 03:49:18 PM
It was last year when i was hitting everything like mad. Iverson over 30 (i think i've never missed AI points), after the Baron trade i've bet on Golden State like crazy, Wizards scoring over 90, Philly over LA in LA. Arenas was just beautifull for some time, almost never missed him. It was after Hughes went down and i just knew Arenas would score like mad. The margin on him was 20 or 21 points at first. I remember couple of times i've putted over 50 bucks on him to score more then that. And he did. Then, AI scoring more then Kobe, Webber over Ming, Amare over 24 points for like 10 times in a row, Paul Pierce more points then Rashard Lewis and so on.

And the ticket i still have in my room that i'm most pride of. I hit 11 pairs that day!

Date, 07.01.2004.

1.Philly - LAC, philly W
2.Miami - Chicago, Heat W
3.Denver - LAL, Denver W
4.Dallas - Golden State, more then 202 points
5.New York - Houston, Houston  W
6.Detroit - Houston, less then 162 points
7.Toronto - Cleveland, Raps W
8.New Orleans - Washington, New Orleans W
9.Millwauke - Phoenix, Millwauke W
10.Seattle - Sacramento, less then 212 points (normally, i've would never bet on less points in this matchup, but they played each other 2 nights before and score was something like 130 - 125 and i just knew it they were dead tired and they won't repeat that)
11.Minnesota - Portland, Minny W

People couldn't have belived i actually bet for less then a dollar!! So the final outcome was something like 80 or 90$ only! If i only had the guts to put 10 or more $, man, that would have been the big time money.

Post by: OldNuggetsGM on September 29, 2005, 09:42:06 AM
Are we still sticking to the 16 team selection?  If so, the Bengals aren't on it, and neither are the Ravens, who I'd pick if I could.

If we are going with that list, I'll join Mavs in picking the Bucs.


Title: Official RaptorsGM's NFL suicide pool
Post by: RaptorsGM on September 29, 2005, 09:59:00 AM
Yes, we are sticking to this 16 teams.

No Bengals. No Ravens.

Actually, you know what, I'm gonna take Tampa instead.

They're brutal but they're playing a brutal team, so this is an excellent time to pick them.
