Who wants to bet on the NBA Playoffs?

[DeadlyDynasty]

Let me first say that my ideal opponent would be Harlem, cause we're both degenerate sports bettors :lol, but I'm rolling around some different betting scenarios that ya'll can decide amongst yourselves on.

We can bet on each individual playoff game (spreads)--although that is probably too time consuming, or we can just bet straight up series.

If we bet series, points awarded as follows:

Each first round correct pick = 1 pt
Each 2nd rd pick = 2 pt
Each CF pick = 3 pt

NBA Champ = 4 pts

If we both pick the same team in a particular series, then the person closest to the correct number of games it lasts (for example, 4-0 or 4-3), wins that point(s).

Whoever holds the most points at the end wins the prize. Be that 20, 50, 100, 200, or however much both parties decide to bet.

This would encourage people to choose their bets carefully, cause say you choose the Heat to win it all and they get bounced by the Knicks. You've just lost 10 possible points.


If this makes no sense, please speak up. I've had 2 xanax and a couple brewskis so i'm going on the fly here.

As an addendum: I would like there to be 3rd party involvement in any money transactions, so nobody else gets screwed.

Terms of the OP are subject to be revised till the playoffs start

I'm down..

I would also be down with betting game-by-game in the playoffs, with the spread, where we could start off with a certain amount of fake $, allocate it to games every night, and whoever ends up with the most amount of fake $ at the end, wins a certain amount of actual $..

It's in Kool's hands. If you can't trust Kool to pay a debt, who can you trust?

There's no honor...

[NRHector]

would you take monopoly money?

Sounds like a plan...let's work out all the particulars between now and the playoffs.


I'd also like the use of surrogates/representatives for days or nights that I work, who (with my authorization) can make a bet on my behalf should the spreads fluctuate before gametime.

:frying: There is no difference between Kool and Kobe...we're one and the same...and I'm very proud of that...we don't let people screw us over try as they may...like Mid and DPG tried to do me....

[DeadlyDynasty]

We also need to have an agreed upon website that we use for our spreads, be it vegasinsider.com (must specify which casino), scoresandodds.com, or something else.

Pending the outcome of Kool's decision upon tonight's deadline, I'd like to put forth a motion to the committee:

Fake money from here on out shall be known as "Kool Dollars" or "Kool".

For example: "I've got 500 Kool on the Lakers-Heat game." Or, "How much Kool you got on the game?"

Think Robin Hood Men in Tights and how the toilets came known to be "Johns".

Did you pay me $500 into the pay pal account I gave you? Even if you don't want to post proof, if you just answer the question directly, it would go a long way to proving you are right. Not all the way, but it would help.

I'll bet you the spuds get beat in round 1 or 2. $700

Additionally, how about putting that vBookie cash to good use?

Maybe we can have some old-style vBookie bets going too?

[DeadlyDynasty]

I'm not Harlem's biggest fan either :)

Would you be so kind as to broker this when the time comes?

I promise to behave and bury the nazi trolls ;)

[Spur_Fanatic]

vBookie cash would be awesome.
