I don't see you opening that wallet Big Boy. You think that line is going down?
The clause about byes was confusing, so I tried to avoid picks in the 1-2.5 range. I also tried to avoid as many integer number picks as possible since a '4' means you have to choose between 5-1 and 3-3.

I think Phil will win with DS9, and its possible Hosp, Timmons, and Corbett will all fall in the 4 win range. That doesn't leave you with a lot of wins to go around. And the last time you talked about an event you went 2-2. I'm just playing the odds here.

Is it? Pretty straight forward. They don't count as wins. Where you having trouble?

Neil texted me some questions. I know not everyone is a degenerate like me. It's actually not so much degenerate gambling as growing up reading the sports section every day.

The last time I went 2-2.... *Checks record* You mean the random local in 2015? That's what you based that on?

Ok....

Corbett give my $5 on myself on the over. Apparently I'm not a serious player anymore.

I'm just going by what you said. Maybe that's my mistake.
Yeah we're talking about the same tournament.

I take random shit to locals. This isn't a local.

A bunch of buddies playing at one friend's place using their own ban list. You're right, it isn't a local. It's a house game.

Wow. Nice pivot from shitting on me to shitting on HoF. Well played.

Tell me though, what's the difference between this and Excelsior? The fact that you're playing in an Arby's?

Not sure that does a lot for your case.

Take Josh at 2.5. If I take Under and he goes 2 wins, 3 losses, and 1 bye does it count for 2 wins? Or is my entire bet voided because he got a bye?

You don't hurt my feelings. I'm at my best when people underestimate me. And yeah, I could have a tough day and go 3-3, it's happened before. I just don't think that's the most likely outcome, so I put my money where my mouth is.

You do the same thing online. You're literally playing the games in your house.

That house is made of glass by the way...

You would win that bet.

You're thinking too hard. Over/Under... wins. That's it. I don't overcomplicate things like Excelsior RPG.

I updated my parley play based on a hot tip I got that Lord Timmons has to evict some serfs from his Fiefdom that day.

don't get too excited, some very unexpected things happened which I will not elaborate upon. You may end up dropping a game to Lord Timmons after all.
