|
|
It is that time of year folks, time to put your money where your mouth is and bet on the Lakers win total.
How it works is simple. I set an over/under number, and you take either over or under. If you are correct, you pay nothing. If you are wrong, you pay two bucks per game you are off (up from a dollar last hear, the new server is expensive). So if, for example, you bet under and the lakers win five more games than the number set, you would owe ten bucks. If you bet the over in the same scenario, you pay nothing. Similarly, if you bet over and the team wins ten fewer games than the number, you pay twenty bucks. If you bet the under in this scenario, you pay nothing. Losers pay, LG gets all the proceeds via paypal.
As an added wrinkle, just to make sure we raise some dough, if the team hits the over/under number exactly, everyone pays five bucks. Once I record your bet in the opening post, you are locked in. Bets are closed opening day.
EDIT: by necessity and consensus, the number has been changed to 39 (not going to go with half games).
the following people took over, and will have a chance to re-bet.

The smarter thing would be to wait until we get through preseason. See how the team looks, make sure everyone looks and is healthy, etc. So I'll hold for now. |

Odd that there are so many folks naysaying the team, but none of them want to put their wallet behind it... _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” ― Elie Wiesel |
