Hippo-Kramer Contest - Week 2 (Writeups + Comedy)

[smurphy]

2-0 (1.00)

Per request by AR 182, we are starting a new thread for each week.

We covered the spectrum in week 1, from the perfect 4 registered by Cosmo to the disastrous dog debut of Mr. Mel. Standings after week 1

Kramer ...4 (3-0) :thefinger
Rolltide ...2 (2-0-1)
Bjfinste ...2 (2-1)
Wesis69 ...2 (2-1)
Woodson...1 (2-1)
BadBone ...0 (1-2)
Smurphy ...0 (1-2)
Hippo ...-1 (1-2)
Imfeklhr ...-2 (0-2-1)
Dunclock ...-3 (0-2-1)
Mr. Mel ...-4 (0-3) :mj23:

The most popular play was STL, which lost easily. Might want to take note of that.

Also, we never mentioned what would happen in the case of a tie. I suggest we go with best record if that happens. ...sound OK Kramer and Hippo?

With competition underway, some futures are beginning to pop up. I found these offshore somewhere....

Will Mr. Mel finish in last place?
Yes +150
No -170

Will Mr. Mel lose his dog biscuit bet with Wesis69?
Yes -400
No +320 (includes tie)

Will Rolltide be enjoying Southern ribs courtesy of Dunclock?
Yes -135
No +115
(Rolltide must actually "enjoy" the ribs for there to be action)

How many of Smurphy's 3 head-head bets will he win?
Over 1.5 +140
Under 1.5 -160

What year is Imfeklhr's Pre-Season Guide that he used for research?
Post 2005 +105
Pre 2005 -125

How many participants will finish with positive points?
Over 6 -120
Under 6 Ev

How many weeks in the regular season (17 weeks) will at least 1 participant get a perfect score of 4?
Over 13.5 -110
Under 13.5 -110

Will Mr. Mel get all 3 picks correct on any week during the regular season?
Yes -220
No +190

....There are more than these, but they are popping up at different books around the world, so it's tough to keep track. Will update as I come across them. Consult your sportsbook of choice or local to get in on the action!:director:

Will go with Pinnacle's lines on Wednesday for this week's selections....

I will be out of town Wed-Fri, so it will be late Fri night or early Saturday before making my adlock: this week

Also, I think that a push is a no bet/ no point either way since you did not win or lose. Therefore, since I never cheat at anything for fear of even more bad karma, I did go 0-2-1 but one of my losses was a double bet meaning I should be -3:shrug: :scared

Dunclock - your honesty and sense of fair play are commendable. Yes, somewhere along the way I forgot to record your Rams double play. The standings have been adjusted accordingly.

You might be in last place among the humans, but you're first in class and dignity. ...Of course that doesn't mean much in a rib bet, but you stay golden champ!:hail

I think there's been an overreaction on to Mel's start. I think he has some value in some of these props.

 

[wesis69]

Will Mr. Mel lose his dog biscuit bet with Wesis69?
Yes -400
No +320 (includes tie)

I loved this prop and just dropped 40 grand on it taking the +320

My selections for the rest of the year are
Falcons, Raiders and Bills. (just joking ) lol

Sorry, I think they only allow a max bet of like $200 on those. ...But, isn't that worth a fortune in Canada.:canada1

If it is determined by the league that you are throwing matches or fixing odds, you will face a review board and suffer a maximum penalty of being forced to play this contest for 5 seasons.:nono:

 

[wesis69]

<-------- Has been sent to the time out room to watch the Week 1 Falcons game for 12 hours for punishment.
I pledge to make every attempt to win some dog bone (LOL).
P.S. I got 500 max and then the odds dropped to +300 then another 500 for + 220
.

I would never have recommended something THAT cruel.:shrug:

 

[Woodson]

I guess I did get the Cinci bet in a tad late... the old sneak play didn't work in week 1... try again later in the season...

Good week! Fresh start! Here we go with a couple

[Mr. Mel]

OK folks

:shrug: Am I so far out of this contest that you are just referring to the humans now, and not even addressing me? I would kindly request in the future that you use a more PC term like "OK everyone", or "OK folks and cute dogs"...thanks.

As far as the standings, I just wanted to give you all a head start so you don't feel too bad when I come back to beat you all :00hour

Now where are those biscuits??

 

[smurphy]

Mr. Mel, I consider you to be a folk. By the way, myself and the rest of the folks are really looking forward to your selection show this week. Any idea when that may be?
