3 Pt Contest: Place your bets!

[UK2K]

Steph Curry +250
Kyle Korver +300
Klay Thompson +300
Marco Belinelli +550
Kyrie Irving +600
JJ Redick +700
James Harden +750
Wesley Matthews +750

I'm going Redick

Bet: $26.50
Risking $26.50 to win $185.50

[LoneyROY7]

Red dick's clearly the smart money pick.

[RedBlackAttack]

$150 on KI. The skillset and the experience. Why on earth would Curry be the favorite? He has competed in the competition the last two years and lost both times... and doesn't rank in the Top 4 in catch-and-shoot 3PT% this year among guys competing.

?

[Smoke117]

Ha...I was looking at that list and just thinking...hm...I'm gonna lay some money down on Reddick before I looked down and saw you say you were gonna lay 100 on him.

[Proctor]

I'm inclined to think Redick as well for some reason. As great of a shooter as he is, he almost seems to be something of a dark horse. Though I hope Kyle Korver goes in there and nails every single one.

Can also see Irving taking it.

[UK2K]

Ha...I was looking at that list and just thinking...hm...I'm gonna lay some money down on Reddick before I looked down and saw you say you were gonna lay 100 on him.
I went with $26.50 so I'd have a nice even number left in my account.

[Genaro]

Whoever Konex didn't pick.

I would say Klay if it were 2 weeks ago but he is a little cold lately so I say Korver.

[GOBB]

Klay. This contest will be the only one I watch this AS weekend. Nice lineup. :applause:

You must be a college kid. Otherwise you would lay down more money.

[UK2K]

I am a college kid. A 26 year old college kid.

But if I had enough to throw $1000 down, I wouldn't bet it on the 3pt contest :lol

[Meticode]

Honestly any of these guys could win it. It's not like one has a huge advantage of the other. You could put J.R. Smith in it and he'd have an equal chance.

I agree.

So I went with the big pay out.

Lots of guys in the NBA can get hot and make 23/30 in a stretch. Its just who gets in a rhythm.

[Mr. Jabbar]

Irving

Understandable then. And no shame in being 26 yr old college student btw. :cheers:

Good luck with your bet.

Pick a shooter already geeze

[Velocirap31]

Wesley makes a name for himself and wins this.

[UK2K]

Good luck with your bet.

Give me Thompson.

mabby Korver.

Nah I really wasn't trying to clown him. The sentence doesn't even read right. "And shame in" :oldlol:

:oldlol:

[UK2K]

Give me Thompson.
I don't think any of the top 3 are worth betting on.

They may win, but that's such a stacked line up, may as well put the money on the bigger pay day.

[RedBlackAttack]

Nah I really wasn't trying to clown him. The sentence doesn't even read right. "And shame" :oldlol:
I know. I read it as "No shame" initially.

But still...

:oldlol:
Haha no problem, I know what you meant.

Being that I am, I sure would like to win $185

[BuffaloBill]

My money's on Ferrari

[Phantom84]

I am picking Korver, the guy is on another level.

[livingby3's]

Irving, dude likes the spotlight.

[T_L_P]

Marco repeats, tbh.

[LiLharvard]

JJ Redick for me. 6-1 odd, not bad.

[UK2K]

JJ Redick for me. 6-1 odd, not bad.
Yes.

Im banking on JJ getting hot and draining the long ball.

[Heavincent]

?

Maybe because he's arguably the greatest shooter ever?

[Jud]

Tough time picking between Korver, Thompson, or Curry.

[Graviton]

I got Klay, he will make it look easy.

[navy]

James Harden bout to beast

[RRR3]

Not betting money, but I pick Curry. I keep telling everyone he's the GOAT shooter so he needs to back me up.

[KNOW1EDGE]

Where did u place a bet?

I would love to put $50 on Wes Matthews for the hell of it.

[JebronLames]

I would love to put $50 on Wes Matthews for the hell of it.
that would be my pick. He has an effortless shot, and at +750 is the best value.

Topbet.EU

Easy site, casino too (which is my downfall).

Been using it for going on three years.

[UK2K]

44% at +700 > 40% at +750

[bdreason]

I'm going with Korver or Irving.

[jamal99]

Korver is taking this, it's his season.

[CarlosBoozer]

Kyle korver

[Megabox!]

Klay taking this one.......probably.................I have no f*cking clue but it's going to be a epic display of shooting :basketball :applause:

[Tmuston Beltics]

new odds :


Stephen Curry (Warriors) +250
Kyle Korver (Hawks) +300
Klay Thompson (Warriors) +300
Marco Belinelli (Spurs) +600
Kyrie Irving (Cavs) +600
JJ Redick (Clippers) +600
James Harden (Rockets) +750
Wesley Matthews (Blazers) +750

No point in taking Curry, Korver or Thompson. Not good enough odds. Just because they are doing good in the regular season doesn't mean they will win this competition. One miss could be the difference of the winner and the second place here. GL

[RightTwoCensor]

I'm placing my house on mortgage to bet for King James.

[3peated]

i bet korv does terrible since hes a catch and shoot guy

[Budadiiii]

i bet korv does terrible since hes a catch and shoot guy
:facepalm

[rmt]

I'd cheer for Bellinelli but his 3pt shot went south after he won the 3pt contest last year. OTOH, Spurs won the ring (maybe him not being on the court had something to do with that - more Green and less Belli?) :roll:

[mistergreens]

Craig Hodges

[UK2K]

new odds :


Stephen Curry (Warriors) +250
Kyle Korver (Hawks) +300
Klay Thompson (Warriors) +300
Marco Belinelli (Spurs) +600
Kyrie Irving (Cavs) +600
JJ Redick (Clippers) +600
James Harden (Rockets) +750
Wesley Matthews (Blazers) +750

I see my JJ pick is gaining steam.

[Done_And_Done]

Wes!

I feel like JJ might pull this one out though. It's hard to say with all of these killer shooters

[UK2K]

Wes!

I feel like JJ might pull this one out though. It's hard to say with all of these killer shooters

I mean, the last few winners have been Daquean Cook, James Jones, Kevin Love.

Its really fairly even, and anyone has a chance to win.

[Milbuck]

It's way too hard to predict this with how good all these guys are, and considering that any of them can get hot at any moment, like Kyrie last year. You could pick a GOAT-tier shooter like Korver and he could come in 5th place. This lineup is that stacked.

If I had to pick though I guess Korver, he's probably the best catch and shoot player there. I have a feeling the splash bros might disappoint, though I have nothing to back it up.

[RedBlackAttack]

Maybe because he's arguably the greatest shooter ever?
All fine and good, but he's not shown to be much of a factor in these competitions in the past and his three-point percentage numbers this season are average compared to this field of guys. I mean, do you honestly think he's the favorite to win this? I'm assuming you've watched the Shoot-Out over the last two years that he has competed?

You can be a great shooter and not necessarily be cut out for this competition.

[poido123]

Watch curry electrify the crowd, not missing a shot in the finals. :pimp:

Curry is my pick

[That_Admiral]

Wesley is the dark horse in this by far, I mean he could kill it!

[BurningHammer]

Either JJ or Kyrie, who is streaky, for gambling. Marco for real.

[Foster5k]

I can actually see Klay winning this. Everyone else might fold under the pressure. Klay seems like a laid back guy that can handle the pressure.

[KobesFinger]

Has 3ball said Michael Jordan yet?

[Darius]

Best contest of weekend.

Imo Matthews is obvious bet. Best odds and I feel I might take him anyways. He has a very effortless shot.

[UK2K]

Come on JJ!

Mother Fvcking Big Money!!

:banana:

[LAZERUSS]

They need to make this a legit 3pt contest.

Put Jimmy Butler on these guys and give them 25 shots in five second increments.

[MP.Trey]

They should do this for the dunk contest as well. Spice things up and throw Whiteside or somebody under the basket waiting for the dunker.

[LAZERUSS]

They should do this for the dunk contest as well. Spice things up and throw Whiteside or somebody under the basket waiting for the dunker.

Exactly. The REAL greatest dunks are those spectacular dunks that come "in game."

Furthermore, they should stage the dunk competition by raising the rim until no one can dunk any more. And then do the same thing by distance. Keep attempting dunks from farther out until no one surpasses the last dunk.

[RRR3]

Not betting money, but I pick Curry. I keep telling everyone he's the GOAT shooter so he needs to back me up.

Should have gone with the sure thing.

All good, we'll get em next year.

always wrong this guy.

yeah, he had the best value. Sucks that curry hit 8/9 moneyballs in the first round or matthews probably wins.

We knew all along :pimp:

I declare you the Undisputed winner, since you went all in on curry and said he won't lose and he's GOAT 3pt shooter.

[UK2K]

Was the obvious choice, as evidenced by his odds, or lack of.

Should have gone with the sure thing.
