Please also remember that everyone started with 5 points in Week One. All points include the initial 5 points, all picks + predicted "won-by-X-pts" totals, bets and wagers.


[COLOR="red"]The Rules[/COLOR]
Make your selections in bold. Please also include how many points you think the specific team will win by (e.g. Los Angeles Lakers by 10 vs. Los Angeles Clippers).
You have until Wednesday, Nov. 13th at 5 pm Eastern Standard Time to make your selections. Any picks made after this set date and time will not count. Anyone who edits their post after this set date and time will face consequences.
Read the rules in the previous thread for more details. (if someone can link..thanks)


[COLOR="Red"]The Bets[/COLOR]
In your initial post where you will cast your picks, you may make a bet challenge to anyone willing to accept. If someone accepts, he will have to quote your post. Only one person may accept any one bet. You may only bet up to 5 points. Person who made the bet may have to shoot me a PM if the bet is not acknowledged by me in a timely manner to let me know the bet has been accepted. You have until Wednesday, Nov. 13th at 5 pm Eastern Standard Time to cast your bets. You may NOT cast bets for games or NBA related events that have passed (eg. do not make a bet saying, "Miami will beat Bulls on opening night" since it already happened).

[COLOR="red"]The Wagers[/COLOR]
Please understand the rules before posting. If you clearly did not understand, I will ignore your wager.

Pick one that you [COLOR="red"]DISAGREE[/COLOR] with (meaning, you don't think it will happen) if you want to risk a point (Note: You may only choose one):

1) Carmelo Anthony will score his first 40 point game in Week 3 (Wed. to Sun.).
2) Oklahoma City Thunder will average more points per game in Week 3 than the Minnesota Timberwolves. (Wed. to Sun., Each team has 3 games)
3) Chris Paul will record at least 3 steals vs. Brooklyn Nets on Saturday, Nov 16.


Wagers are optional. Do not choose one if you don't want to risk losing a point.

Wager - 1 I'll disagree.

[branslowski]

-1 for the wager.

Oh yea...For some reason I thought that Curry Shit was declined....And I thought he was hurt.

[hitman24]

Game One (Wed., 11/13/13):
Wager - 1 I'll disagree since Kevin has already scored 40 once this year so he won't be able to do it for the first time again.

You're right. Please see updated wager everyone and fix. Thanks.
