Does Roxfan Stay or Go?

[mavs>spurs2]

What a dramatic turn of events from the other thread. In there Roxfan was standing all alone, now he's winning the poll.

Damn this is like a bad episode of L.A. law....or rather a good episode of Night Court .

If you have a bracket and two teams are locked in a series, do you move one team (represented by a name/logo) closer to the next platform (round) because they won a game or do you keep them in the same spot until they win the series and advance further?

I'm not saying Roxfan should go, but I don't think the wager is as complicated as it is being made out to be.

But that's your definition of farther.

Simply put, the Rockets are still playing. The Mavs are not. That is farther, no matter if you're going by rounds, points, or piddlywinks. Do you really think a team that gets swept in a round is the same as a team that gets taken 7 games before losing? "But they're still out of the playoffs!" you might say. Well, so is every team until the championship.

It's something that should have been absolutely specified beforehand, and they both failed to do so.

Not to mention the fact that the Rockets HAVE NOT LOST YET. In any case, you're wrong for completely jumping the gun on a team that still has a chance to go the the WCF.

Again, I don't think so. What I should have done was relegated my original question to this particular series rather than generalize it. Going "far" implies movement, movement=advancement in this case. If one team loses by less games than the other in the same round they may have OUTLASTED the other team, but they didn't ADVANCE FARTHER than them. IF the Rockets lose in game 6, both teams would have made it to the same plateau in their travels: the 2nd round.

[mavs>spurs2]

Why are people still arguing this after the man himself admitted defeat and wanted to keep the bet? Anyway, I don't really care if he's gone, I don't really hold a grudge over a messageboard to the point where I want someone banned, unless youre a like atxrocker.

[Many PackYao]

I think the terms should have been better specified, but technically the Mavs season ended before the Rockets' season. I pick he stays.

Hey, I'm just using the same standard as every sports league, professional or otherwise, and that's by counting the wins and losses of each team.

Mavs have 1 win and 4 losses.

Houston has 2 wins and 3 losses.

By the most basic definition, Houston went further because they are still in the playoffs and Dallas is not.

If you're correct, what's the point of keeping the records of every team that did not make the playoffs?

True, these two guys were not specific as to the bet but using the most basic definition of the word "further" you gotta say Roxfan wins this bet.

The last I checked, we can't even talk about banning him until the series is over.

This troll should be the first to GTFO

[florige]

Now we are going to have to start writing up two page contracts here right before we make bets on ST.

[Cry Havoc]

Why are people still arguing this after the man himself admitted defeat

really? The Rockets are still playing. I find that interesting.

[Blake]

stays.

[BlackSwordsMan]

why isn't permaban both an option?

[La Peace]

lol, love that song.

[leemajors]

forum bets are made to be welched on.

[manufan10]

This troll should be the first to GTFO

+1.


I vote stays. If the parameters of the bet aren't even clear, why should the bet still be in place?

[Blake]

mavs>spurs needs to go.

[Roxsfan]

Going "far" implies movement, movement=advancement in this case.

IF the Rockets lose in game 6, both teams would have made it to the same plateau in their travels: the 2nd round.

You need 100% of 4 games to advance

Mavs had 25%
Rox have 50%

50% >25% or said another way, farther along to the goal of 100% or 4 games.

The #s don't lie.

Now we are going to have to start writing up two page contracts here right before we make bets on ST.

I was just being open to your point of view.

B/c terms were not stated clearly, the bet is deemed null and void.

[Kori Ellis]

I vote Roxsfan stays and you just make fun of him (I still can't believe you are a guy -- I always thought you were a teenager girl) every time he posts.

[BUMP]

Feed him to the Lions!!!

[Roxsfan]

I vote Roxsfan stays and you just make fun of him (I still can't believe you are a guy -- I always thought you were a teenager girl) every time he posts.

Yeah, I'm a teenage lesbian , check out my sig.


Anyway, can you

Change my screen name to to Rocket Man

thanks.
