That dude is FreshKid... Dude was just on 4 red bars but got into green because negging was diabled again. One of the biggest trolls ever, he'd never pay... Hell, he can't. Make him wash your dishes.[/QUOTE]
Oh NVM that Freshkid was a flat out troll. Thanks for the warning.
Re: Who Wants to Make a Bet the Nets Make the Playoffs?
That's a stupid fkin bet. Every sports book has the net over under total wins between 41-42 wins for the season, when the 8th seed in the east has historically been under .500 for over a decade. Why wouldn't someone just bet the under on total wins?
Your line would have to be nets to miss playoffs at like +140 to be worth a damn. So stop trying to act like a big shot when you're offering -EV wagers.
Re: Who Wants to Make a Bet the Nets Make the Playoffs?
OP. Better get an escrow account first. I don't think people will pay if you win.

Except I'm not making a Vegas bet, I'm offering to make a bet with posters on here, many of which say the Nets won't make the playoffs. It's up to them to make the bet if they want.

That's why I want to screen the applicant some.
Ideally, a trusted poster or mod would hold the money on both sides and pay out at the end.

Even if they have 10000 posts over 5 years id get an escrow account.

Sure and I'm just here to let people know it's a suckers bet and they can get better bang for their buck on any sports book online or with their neighbourhood bookie.

That's up to them. I'm singling out those who specifically say the Nets will not make it. Meanwhile their win total put them at the 7 seed just ahead of Atlanta and NY, so it's not exactly a sure thing they make the playoffs.
