but honestly, LeeTJ does have a point about this whole betting thing. I think he knows that overall SA is a better team, but he also believe that the Nets just might be able to pull it off....and if you only need to put down $10 when you could be getting back$300? Man, I'd take that someday...that's how you win big in gambling

I'll take wyvyrn 30:1

No but I'll take LeeTJ 1:1

HAHAHA, you mean like 1 v 1?? like in a ring?

i never claimed ANYWHERE that NJ was a lock. Wyvrn did. so it's put up or shut up time for him. the best he can give me is 1:1 odds, apparently he doesn't believe that Spurs/Mavs are a lock vs NJ. hence STFU.

let's get 3rd party verification.

Stoja, you and i have disagreed on many basketball things, particularly lakers vs kings, all that aside, Have you seen ANYWHERE where i claimed that NJ was a LOCK vs Spurs/Mavs??

You haven't, but I see what you are saying. You said to not count the Nets out. That is due to home team bias and the fact that they are a good team. To count any team out in a finals series is just stupid. If a team got to the finals, they are good.

Edit: I'm not Stojakapimp, but you and I have had a few disagreements too. :p

thank you a reasonable and unbiased view on this whole mess.

IF NJ indeed has NO chance then it would seem to me that 30:1 is not unreasonable, but Wyvrn unfortunately is unable to reason that far. he keeps going under this delusion that i've gone around claiming that Spurs/Mavs have NO chance vs NJ. he keeps wanting me to bet him 1:1, why should i do that?? i'm not stupid and i'm not stupid enough to claim that Spurs/Mavs have NO CHANCE.

oh well, i guess it's just too much to expect someone to reason thru things these days, it's easier just to insult i guess.

people who have read my posts before know that the way i'm posting here is on par, this is how i normally post.

wyvrn seems to have lost it a bit. but he still doesnt' understand the crux of the discussion. one more time for wyvrn sake.

YOU made the claim that NJ has ZERO chance, OWN up to it and take my bet at 30:1 or admit you were wrong. Simple as that little man with the wounded pride.

it's not that difficult. :)

if he claims that NJ has no chance he has nothing to lose by even taking 75:1 odds

i should have expected as much from them.

You started the insult spree unprovoked. You cannot wash your hands of it so easily. I am merely stooping to your level, against my better judgement. What is the saying? "Never argue with an idiot, they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience..", or something like that :)

I see what you are saying about odds and such. I never said SA was a "lock", but I did say NJ was not in their class and I didn't think they would win. Consequently, I will bet you my $25 to your NOTHING. I believe those are infinity : 1 odds, are they not? Who says I do not have confidence in my predictions? I only give those odds to you because:

1) you are too coward to take my fair bet, as has been shown here
2) I want to see you squirm when SA wins the finals, and I would be willing to pay $25 for the opportunity

So, my bet is SA wins the finals this year (game count does not matter), or I pay LeeTJ $25 via paypal. However, there are two requests I must make. If SA wins, you must contribute $25 to your favorite charity, and I want to see the receipt. Secondly, I want you to come apologize to me in ATOT for personally insulting me without provocation. If NJ wins, I will apologize to you for insulting you and acknowledge your superior basketball knowledge, as well as give you the $25 paypal. Player injuries do not affect the bet. And, if the Mavs win the WCF and then face NJ in the finals, this bet is null and void (IE: we can make a new one if you like). Fair?

No you are taking sh!t because:

1) You insulted me without provocation. I made a prediction and you took it personally. I never addressed you specifically until you called me a moron and so forth

2) You are a loudmouth and many people here want to see you put in your place.

Make no mistake, I have no respect for you or your opinions. I am wagering $25 on the opportunity to rub it in your face in front of everyone. I feel I have little to lose and much to gain. However, your credibility is on the line.

sheesh. all this sh!t i'm taking because he doesn't know anything about giving odds.

No, merely studying though it's none of your business.

Your first post was 32 minutes before this one. Get a f*cking life and quit knocking those who can't reply to your impatient thread-summons' faster than the time it takes for your mom to wipe your ass for you.

let's see according to a link in the other thread from another poster, Vegas is giving NJ 7:1 odds. so apparently Vegas thinks WAY better of NJ's chances than you do.

btw, it's not a FAIR bet going 1:1 as you claim because as i've admited from wayy back, NJ is the underdog.

apparently you have NO desire to back up your statement and you have NO idea what constitutes a fair bet.

Your right, i do have more experience than you with ODDS, betting AND backing up what i say, in those areas you are SEVERLY lacking.

He's willing to give away $25 without an expected return, and with no risk to you. How is that not fair

because lucky, i'm not after his money, NOR will i take such a ludicrous bet.

I will however suggest that he donate that money to a charity IF the NJ Nets win. I don't want his money, i just want to see if he will back up what he says.

DOn't add fuel to the fire, it says he has to give $25 to charity if SA wins.

LeeTJ, you will lose all credibility if you do not take this bet. You don't have to pay me regardless of the outcome. Giving money to charity is a noble thing to do and a good tax write off. You have much to gain if you win, don't you see. I made this bet about as apetizing as it is going to get.

Take it or your cowardice is confirmed.

How is this bet ludicrous? You have to pay me nothing regardless. I have backed up what I have said by publically betting you twice. You have not accepted either, so it seems to me you are the one that will not back up what he says.

Cmon you mouse man!
