Since we have wagered TPs before on various propositions (some of us got cleaned out a few years ago) championships being the main proposition, I'd like to propose TP wagering on the lottery next week.
We followed the Brooklyn and Dallas picks all year with voluminous threads. The interest is there and the feelings about this lottery are high.
Neurotic Guy's thread inspired me to proffer this lottery TP wagering idea.
He sums up my feelings well in his "1986, 1997, 2007, 2016" thread well:
Now again C's fans sit on the precipice of a possible franchise changing lottery. With DA I have confidence that he'll make some lemonade out of whatever lemon we get, but I am still dreading that deflated feeling that I felt in the immediate aftermath of the '97 and '07 lotteries. It was brutal.....All I know is that a system based purely on luck will be a driving influence on my mood for at least a short while after May 17th.
So do you feel lucky for the C's?...I do.
I propose the over/under to be 3. If the Cs end up picking third, it's a push, no TPs are lost or gained.
If you choose the under, i.e us picking 1st or 2nd, given that the odds of picking #1 or #2 are 31.3%, wagering 3 TPs get you 10 TPs and multiples thereof. So if I bet 30 TPs, I'd get 100 if i win and lose 30 if I lose.
Since the combined odds of picking the over (#4, 5, 6) is 53.1 %, that's close to even money, so wagering any number of TPs gets you that same number of TPs back. 30 gets you 30 and so on..
Anybody interested? Any mod interested in administering this? I'll help.
