This should be a really fun game if it gets rolling.
We all know that the active members on this site have a pretty good sense of each other. We all have our reputations.
Well, I was thinking, why don't we put our reputation where our mouth is. Let's do a little bit of a betting game.
We all start with 1000 points. You can bet as many as you want on ANYTHING in the NHL happenening. For example, I can bet 50 points on the Islanders making a come back from their current 3-0 position against the Bruins. If anyone takes the bet, they have to reply with a quote and say 'I challenge that'. Multiple members can challenge the same statement.
Of course, you can make it crazier than that. You can bet that Crosby gets married by the end of the season, you can bet the Leclaire changes his hairstyle, you can bet that Super Mario comes out of retirement...!
And pretty much anything else goes, to my discretion  . You could say 'I will make a 4:1 payout on anyone willing to bet 'X' amount of points that the Flames win their division'.
At the end of every day, the points will be tallied. Any bets that are long term will be reitterated.
Let the games begin!
Habs get number 25 this year

I bet all of my points that this thread goes no where.
I will give 3/1 odds.
Any takers??
(No disrespect Alex, just too complex and too time consuming)
Wayne or Bobby?? How about both!!! |

| Ya I have to agree with Beans on this one. I dont think this is one of those games that makes it past its first week of existence. I say this one dies pretty quickly. |

17:51 left in the 3rd, Edmonton is down 2-1
Straight up odds, any takers??
Wayne or Bobby?? How about both!!! |

Ok, bets for me on the Edmonton game are off. Too Late!
Wow, that was dumb. The Oilers tie the game with 51 seconds left.
That will show me for not having faith in my team!
Wayne or Bobby?? How about both!!! |

The problem with this forum is that we'd pretty much have to be sitting infront of our computer while all the games are going on in order to keep track of who's betting what, and posting our own bets.
I don't know about you guys, but that's not my idea of a fun evening. I'd rather be spending time with my family, or watching the games on TV.
Although it sounds like something that would work while watching games at a bar.

Good Point.
Why don't you do something like a bet night. You can make your bets on one certain day, at a certain time, each week. That way you won't be stuck on your computer all the time |

I bet all the 1000's I have (in this game) that the Leafs make the playoffs...
By the way who is the points leader, you said that you were going to tally them up each day???
Of coarse you know that this means war!

100 points on the Avs making the playoffs.
And 50 points on Liles getting traded.
And 75 Points saying Crosby comes back before the expected 8 weeks. |

Beans, I'll take that bet, but there will have to be a definition of "this thread going anywhere".
Also, if you bet ALL your points (1000), and you give three to one odds - either you are betting points you don't have, or the other guy is betting a .33333 of a point.
btw, by answering - you lose the bet!  (it would mean we are going somewhere, in my mind . . . lol)

You need 1000 points to challenge my bet, you have already bet 225, not enough...and I see that you bet another 300...

Nobody has challenged my bets though, so technically untill those are challenged this bet still stands. I think. |

Alex - you update the points but didn't include me. 
Perhaps it is because I won against Beans . . . and I have 2000 POINTS!!! 
Please adjust the totals!

So Alex - you think by ignoring me, everyone will forget my
2000 POINTS ?!?
Dude, don't be a sore loser about it. I won my bet fair and square, Beans even admitted it - so what gives? Give me what's due.

"anything goes", but it's up to "your discretion"?!? 
Then, by definition, it is NOT anything goes . . . it is "Alex decides".
If you don't want to be taken literally, write poetry. 
Ok, here's a good one, although Alex may not like it since someone will win 1000 points, and he might decide it's "too much" for just one bet to be in the lead:
1000 points - I am willing to bet that Toronto beats Buffalo tonight.
Any takers?
