Sure, let's do it! How about $100 just for the hell of it? We can start this weekend...I'll set up a thread. And I would strongly encourage everyone to fade. If you do, your old ladies will be wondering how you suddenly can afford all these diamond gifts for them for Christmas.
I can see it now, I'm 25-65 and then go on a final 10-0 run to lose the contest. That would somehow make sense. Although, who am I kidding...I may not even reach 25 wins!
Odd, the UGA/Florida game is OTB with my local.
Anyway, nuggets for tonight's WS game. The Royals have been deadly all year against right-handers (+$1865 in the regular season) 2-0 +$210 in WS so far. The Royals are 7-1 in Ventura's 8 post season starts. Noah Syndergaard is 0-2 with a 5.86 ERA in five career starts versus AL teams, three of which came at Citi Field. But, Mets have dominated righties at home (39-22, +$770) and Ventura has a 4.30 ERA on the road.
Mets are 3-1 at home in this post season & Royals are 2-3.
I'm looking forward to this game as the CFB games tonight appear to be stinkers.

I'm sure I've told the story in here when I broke my tooth on a meatball parm when I was sitting next to Danny (Mickey) at Perkins. Before he got the role he was doing standup. He started at a Charlie's Place in Jenkintown (now Houlihans). I'd give last call at 1:45 and play 2 more songs. I'd shut the music and he'd grab the mic and start insulting people until the manager threw us all out. Then we'd all go to Perkins.
Anyway my tooth hit this bone in the sandwich so hard Danny said, "What the Fuck was THAT!"
"THAT" was a prelude to two crowns and two root canals!
Yeah if you want. I didn't really mean to jump up and say"I'll bet this", I'm just such a nit that when I see someone offering a +EV bet I reply thinking "Oh damn, that's good value"
You can setup a thread and start when you want. Or just keep it in here really. This thread would work fine, whatever works.
That was "SUNDAY" nights. My weekends were even better in the 80s-90s.
Plus I used to win like crazy betting back then too LOL. Not that I was a better capper. But back then I knew which of my books were sharp and who was stale, who'd give you an extra 1/2 point just for asking, etc. Life was an easy ride, even with a busted arm (and broken teeth)
76ers exercise options on Embiid, Stauskas, Noel By The Sports Xchange
The Philadelphia 76ers exercised the third-year contract options on center Joel Embiid and guard Nik Stauskas on Friday, and the fourth-year option on forward Nerlens Noel.
The moves keep the three players under contract through the 2016-17 season.
Embiid has yet to play for the 76ers since being the No. 3 overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft out of Kansas.
The Sixers announced in August that they will hold out Embiid during the 2015-16 season after he underwent a bone graft and had two screws replaced in his ailing right foot. The 7-foot Embiid also had surgery on the same foot a year ago that sidelined him for the 2014-15 season.
Stauskas was the eighth overall pick in the 2014 draft by the Sacramento Kings. The 76ers traded for him in June.
Noel was the sixth overall pick by the New Orleans Pelicans in the 2013 NBA draft. He was traded to the Sixers on draft night.

Pacers' George fined for criticizing officials By The Sports Xchange
Indiana Pacers forward Paul George called out the officials after a season-opening loss to the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night and paid a price.
George was fined $10,000 by the NBA on Thursday for his public criticism, league executive vice president Kiki VanDeWeghe announced Thursday night before the Pacers played the Memphis Grizzlies in Indianapolis in their home opener.
The 25-year-old George referenced "a lot of bad calls" in assessing the Pacers' 106-99 loss at the Air Canada Centre. The two-time NBA All-Star had 17 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists in the opener but made just 4 of 17 shots from the field.
