On a somewhat related note, Hugh is running a college bowl pick'em contest here; entry fee is a troop fiver. Hope to see some of you over there!:-)

*** Important Stuff ***

Week 16 and 17 are our playoff weeks.

That leaves two more good weeks to throw around across-the-league bets, so these next two weeks are good betting weeks. Get your bets in quick, Steelers play Cleveland to start this week on Thursday Night.

The playoffs will have two brackets:
In Bracket One, the top four seeds will vie for 1st and 2nd place, those are the payoff spots. I believe 30 sticks go to first place, 20 to second place. (Check the first post)

In Bracket Two, or "The Consolation Bracket", the teams seeded 5-8 will vie for 5th place. The 5th place winner will receive a Premium Fiver from me. (check the first post)

Taking all comers head to head for a troop fiver this week. Bring it. :-)

The race for the final two playoff spots is intense! There's five guys vying for the final two playoff spots. I would think that this week more than any other would make for some great wagering.:-)

I'm wide open to bets again this week. Taking all comers.
I'll even take a couple troop bundle bets (20 sticks) if anyone wants to go.

Stephen, I'll give you 10 points against 20 sticks head to head this week. Do a quick balls count and get back to me. :-)
[Reply]

Stephen and I are going head to head for 20 troop sticks.

I'll take a few more bets if you guys are up to it. :-)
[Reply]

Scott, please add another fiver to my owed total.
I managed to lose some more troop sticks, elsewhere.

Received the winnings from Tim yesterday to settle our bet. I'm incredibly lucky that he's much better at choosing cigars than assembling fantasy football teams.:-) Thanks again, Tim. Very generous and kind of you.
[Reply]

I'm still taking bets...
:-)
[Reply]

Thanks for the backhanded compliment!!!! Wait till next year!:-)
[Reply]

I'm sure I'll have smoked through all those you sent me by then. Can't wait.:-)
[Reply]

C'mon guys, it's the first round of the playoffs and opening round of the consolation bracket. Let's get some wagers going to eclipse 500 troop smokes sent for the season!! I'm down for a creative (or not so creative) ten stick bet. Any takers?
[Reply]

I''ll take anyone a bet with anyone who might have some balls left. :-)
Stephen, you're on for ten. Let's make it intertesting...
Since we were talking Eagles, let's use Mike Vick. The bar is at 50 points. You can pick whether you think he'll go over 50 or under 50. The guy who ends up with under gets the 50.0 spot so there won't be a tie.
What say you?

I have 17 sticks left, I think. If you wanna go 20, I'll do that, too.
Plus I'll still take all comers. :-)
[Reply]

Maybe they're hung by the chimney with care...
Unfortunately I think he'll go over, so I'll take the over for 20 troop sticks.
