Congrats again to UberAlles for his win in contest #2.

We're now ready to start a new contest period. The Syndicate is putting together another nice prize package for the winner of this contest. All accounts have been re-set to 500 and all members are in the running for this one, except for Syndicate members.

This contest in particular should be a good one with March Madness, The Masters and the start of the NBA & NHL Playoffs.

Good luck to all.

well, like usual I have bet almost all my alpacas on the first day. So, I look forward to not having anything to bet with by tomorrow.

I was dead wrong, but Billups had a terrible night after I bet on him. No more betting on Pistons for me. It never works.

I didn't listen to myself and lost all 3 bets last night.

And I didn't listen to myself and lost. Good thing it's almost time to go home. I've been in a bad mood since last night (Pistons lost, and we went 0-7 in football).

BTW, we may need a ABA group (alpaca bettors anonymous).

I placed 100 alpacas on a fucking arena football game yesterday. I've never watched a single snap of arena football. Add in that I put alpacas on Oral Roberts, Old Dominion, George Washington, etc without ever seeing them play a game.

I need a sponsor or something.

MikeMyers
03-18-2007, 06:39 PM
Great. I bet all my money on Billups getting 25 combined pts/assists on Friday night and he goes out and gets injured. Can I get the pit boss to throw some alpacas my way so I can continue to bet?

MikeMyers

Just a note, I find betting on over/under for an individual player to be more fun.

Glenn
03-19-2007, 12:15 PM
I do too, Mike.

Especially with this Pistons team, the W/L's and the margins are just too unpredictable.

I like the individual bets and the over/unders.

MikeMyers

Any chance of throwing me 50 alpacas? I would like to bet.

By the way, the winner of contest #2, UberAlles, generously declined the prize package, so the same package is going to go to the winner this time for contest #3. The only exception is the phone card, which is about to expire.

If the winner of the this current contest is a Sparty fan, I can throw in the winner's choice of one MSU media guide (I'll have to check my inventory, but I think I have some football ones, some basketball ones and a hockey one, all from 2-3 years ago).

Wont matter anyway. Only micknugget can catch him unless DBTM bets and loses a lot.

THere you go. As long as you have long odds than people can catch him still.

I saw that you tried to counter my bets. You got most of them but I might have squeeked in just enough to get by you. Now I just have to worry about one of those 14 to 1 or 8 to 1 Wings/Sharks bets.

Congrats to darkobetterthammelo, the winner of Contest #3.

DBTM put together an incredible last few days to seal the victory, and he had to hold off a hard-charging micknugget in the process. Props to DBTM for not playing conservative, which would have surely cost him the win.

DBTM's total also sets a new all time record for # of alpacas in a single contest at 7,834.

We'll reset everyone to 500 later today, and we're onto Contest #4.

If you can turn $500 into 7800, you should start betting in real life.

Glenn

No shit, DBTM was tearing it up the last week or so, I don't think he lost a single bet (at least it seemed that way).

Also, interestingly enough, WTF collectively is now winning at a .498 percentage, which really isn't bad since for the longest time we were hovering around the 42% mark.

DBTM won by betting AGAINST the Red Wings vs. San Jose. Seems very wrong betting against the home team and I say that we kick his San Jose lovin', Motown hating ass off of the WTF Detroit board. Let him go play on some San Jose board with the rest of the California faggots!!!!!!!!!!!

(Actually i'm just kidding. Good Job DBTM. It all came down to one bet which made it exciting. And I can't rip on California too bad since I was born there. Congrats DBTM!)
