With the EPIC Herf just around the corner, it's time for an EPIC bet.
This bet is for week 10 NOT week 9!
I am posting early so it receives maximum participation.

Here it is.
My team, head to head with yours.
My 25 troop stick sticks to your ? troop sticks (min 5)
For every troop stick I spot you, you spot me .5pts
Examples
My 25 to your 5 - You spot me 10 pts
My 25 to your 20 - you spot me 2.5 pts

I will take this bet once from each of the other 9 players.
If I am the low scorer for the week, I will add an additional 25 troop sticks.
For a total of 250 troop sticks (assuming all of the other 9 get involved)

i made this bet last year, and I believe I lost to all who participated!!

Who wants some?

I will obviously take a piece of that, Dom.
I think this bet should require mandatory 100% participation. Frank has betting sticks left, so he's in. I'm sure he'll be happy to get a piece of this.

So you have me and Frank so far. Anyone who does not take this bet will be shunned. :-)
Very generous bet, brother. For the troop's sake, I hope you tank. :-)

I'll take the -7.5 line Dom!
[Reply]

Dom, I won this bet last year and I can have a smoke with you while talking about winning it again this year!!!!! I'll spot you 10.
[Reply]

I'll spot you five points for ten troop sticks. Great bet by the way!
[Reply]

I am in Dom I will spot you 5pts
[Reply]

How many sticks does Frank have? He'll have to buy about 50 points in order to have a snowball's chance...:-)
[Reply]

Scott, need to know how many sticks you are putting up against my 25
Same goes for frank! :-)

Stephen, it's 10 sticks and spot me 7.5 or 15 sticks and spot me 5.
Let me know which you prefer
[Reply]

15 and 5. My rythmetican must've been broked this morning...:-)
[Reply]

I'm in for a 5-er Dom! A 10 point spot and TONS of kudos coming your way!!:-)
[Reply]

I'm in for a fiver and Frank is in for a fiver, Dom. We both spot you 10 points.
If anyone is not in on this bet, will one of you guys please pm that person?
If we don't get response from any of the remaining guys for some reason, I will cover their bets with a fiver of my own in order to bring us up to 100% participation.

I will try to get this thread updated with last week's results and this week's bets as soon as I can. I'm up to my ears in the troop auction stuff and the phone has rang nonstop all day. That sucks because I set today aside to do all the troop/football/cigar stuff I needed to get done and I'm not even close to finished.
/end whine. :-)
