I put it on 57-59. I know they can do that, even if they have a slow start or a bad stretch or injury, just with the depth they've got. Winning 60 + games is tough, even for dominant teams, so I can't put good vbookie $ on it.
However if they do it, then rock the casbah - it's a win-win situation for me, no?
Hmm. That's what both my head and my heart tell me. However, I am afraid of jinxing the Spurs so I bet for less than that. I guess I am more supers ious than I previously realized because when I look at our team and our depth and our talent level, I think that we must win better than 60 games!
Bump
Man people had little dough back then. Look at the skimpy bets!
Anyways, I'm glad to see I bet 63-65, I'm on track!
LOL I looked at these bets earlier today, and had the exact same thought!
successful season.
Wow... I just looked back through my old vbookies and saw all of the bets from the finals last year. Got me a little choked up.
1100 on a 66 wins
That was a high bet
63-65 baby!! Gotta get that vcheese!!!
66-68
How come I did not get in this bet??? I must have been out of town that day.

Easiest month thus far with only real tests against Denver, Detroit and Miami. Spurs start rodeo trip, an 8 game trip in Utah. This month should be their best month and they should start to separate themselves from the Western pack by months end.

Prediction: 11-5

Sun 16 at Minnesota 1:00 PM ABC
Mon 17 Utah 8:30 PM
Wed 19 at Houston 8:00 PM ESPN
10 games(7 home 3 away)
Easiest month, but Pop might be resting starters in last week in preparation of playoffs, so record might falter.
Key games: Sacto, Dallas, Seattle and at Houston, who themselves will have a rough month with more road games and will be trying to lock down HCA in first round, so they will be really wanting to win this game.
Prediction: 8-2
Overall:
63-19
Spurs record for wins in a season.
Kori, can I get something if I was right?
Nailed it again!
See post 24.
64
We got another Jim in the house.

Three games to go....come on Spurs, I want to win at least 1 vbookie this year!!!!!!

I think Manumania put most of his money on that bet, and he will get it.
63Too bad I didn't have much money back then when I made this bet
Yay!!! I finally getting grabbed a high vbookie bet
I'm only going to get 18000 plus my orig 1500 off of this fantastic vBookie win!!

Chea! If only I had more vdollars at the begining of the season.

Cuoldn't they win 3 more games?
