ubkev Posted November 17, 2016 Report Posted November 17, 2016 I know this would be difficult, but it would be interesting to see how the house is doing. Actually, wouldn't it just be (number of bettors * $2000) - sum(all balances)? Yep, and the house is killing it. Quote
Neo Posted November 17, 2016 Report Posted November 17, 2016 Yep, and the house is killing it. I'm down nearly 1,100. For that, I'd get complimentary drinks and a breakfast buffet and tell everyone about the free stuff! FREE! Quote
Eleven Posted November 17, 2016 Report Posted November 17, 2016 Damn. You missed the first week. I didn't catch it, allowed you to bet, and even included you in the standings. I ###### up. Everyone is back in. No one is out for missing a week. I can't exclude others when I missed juju. I guess I'll just get rid of the weekly requirement sense I ###### up. Unless anyone has a better idea. I'm at grandsons MMA training so I can't it right now, I'll update the standings in the morning. It went from Monday thru Sunday. But again, I ###### up and allowed juju to bet even though he missed the first week. I think because of that its fair to let everyone else back in and waive the weekly betting requirement. Just to be clear: Are we scrapping the weekly betting requirement going forward as well? Because that will greatly change my strategy for Saturday (and IMO make for a more fun contest). Quote
SwampD Posted November 17, 2016 Report Posted November 17, 2016 If I'm still in I'm sitting at $1675. If I'm still in I'm pitting 3 units on the Sabres. Quote
Drunkard Posted November 17, 2016 Report Posted November 17, 2016 Is there a line out for the Tampa game yet? I'm sitting at 1315 and plan to bet on Tampa but I'd prefer to see the line before deciding how many units. Quote

Hank, I know its your contest and you can manage it how you like, but I am all for not requiring a weekly bet. It's far more fun to have more people involved and eliminating folks may make it so that there are only 2 or 3 guys left by the end of the year. When we did this last, there were only a handful of posters that even made it through the whole year, since the house usually busts most players. I have no problem eliminating players for blatant inactivity (no bets for a month), but that will be rare. That should also make it easier to track for you since all you have to do is add up the winnings/losses after each game and just quote the leaderboard from last time. Quote
Cereal Posted November 17, 2016 Report Posted November 17, 2016 Wait now Hank says everyone is back in? Everyone except busted-up lowly old Cereal. :censored: Quote

Because that will greatly change my strategy for Saturday (and IMO make for a more fun contest). Yes, my plan is to scrap the requirement altogether since I'm the one who dickered up. Sorry about the confusion. Wait now Hank says everyone is back in? Everyone except busted-up lowly old Cereal. :censored: Sorry, you still busted. Quote
Hank Posted November 17, 2016 Author Report Posted November 17, 2016 Okay. Weekly bet requirement is gone, everyone is back in minus Murrays Rats and Derrico who have not placed a single bet.

MattPie Posted November 17, 2016 Report Posted November 17, 2016 Okay. Weekly bet requirement is gone, everyone is back in minus Murrays Rats and Derrico who have not placed a single bet. Again, sorry about the confusion. MattPie $1,995 Still no line on tonights game with Tampa No worries Hank, I'm just happy to be in after actually making a good bet. I know keeping all this straight is a chore. So happy, in fact, I'll put 2 on the Sabres tonight. Throwing bad money after good. Quote
Eleven Posted November 17, 2016 Report Posted November 17, 2016 Yes, my plan is to scrap the requirement altogether since I'm the one who dickered up. Sorry about the confusion. OK. Please consider my plan to bet the farm on the Pens to be withdrawn. Quote
pi2000 Posted November 17, 2016 Report Posted November 17, 2016 I like you. But where does it end? Do I let pi back in because his bet was only eight minutes late even though he was a complete douche with his insistence that it didn't count? What about the other people that forgot to bet? Juju was leading everyone and he's out. If I let you back in, I have to let everyone back in, and then there is no betting requirement. That's not how I wanted to set this up. I'm sorry. This was done three years ago, and was'nt done since because noone wanted to do it. I appreciate the offer but the rules were set before we started. That was the time to offer ideas on a better way to do it. Had you offered back then I would have gladly accepted. We're already into it, the rules are the same for everybody, I can't start bending them mid-game, it's not right. I'm sorry. I took a 1 unit self-imposed penalty (half of what I wagered on that game) for placing my bet late, how is that being a douche? In the real world, bets are not allowed after the game starts, let's be clear on the rules here... any bets placed after puck drop are invalid (and lighthearted jokes about such bets are not allowed).

Wyldnwoody44 Posted November 17, 2016 Report Posted November 17, 2016 Cmon eleven..... Do it.... Or I'll call you a 3rd grade name like a sissy, or a poohead and start a huge PC debate on here! Quote
