Guest DeputyHawk Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 Okay, new rules this month as pretty much everyone had just started putting the maximum bet on HHH and never losing. By the way before I start, for those confused, this is just for smart smarkie bragging rights, it is not for real money. -------------------- The Current Standings: 1--Kotzenjunge - $1500 2--DeputyHawk - $1300 3--Paranoid - $1000 4--Paul Stanley - $1000 5--Shooter Jay - $1000 6--Blachuuh Monkey - $950 7--Kingpk - $900 8--CanadianChris - $900 9--CanadianChick - $900 10-bps21 - $800 11-DJ Jeff - $800 12-tpww7 - $800 13-Midnight_Burn - $700 14-Hollywood Spike Jenkins - $700 15-NaturalBornThriller 4:20 - $600 16-Sandman 9000 - $600 17-AfricanAmerican - $500 18-Annie Eclectic - $400 19-Bravesfan - $200 -------------------- The Rules: 1--You can only make bets of either $50 or $100 on each match. 2--You have to bet at least $400 on each show. Those with less than $400 in the bank must bet all the money they have. 3--you don't have to bet on a match if you don't want to, as long as your $400 is covered elsewhere on the card. 4--To place your bets, simply cut & paste from the card below and put the amount you’re gambling next to the match 5--No-contests, Double DQs, double count-outs, time-limit draws etc result in a no win/no lose situation and negate the bet. 6--Anyone who drops down to $0 in the bank is not allowed back in – they must live with the stigma of being a stupid wrestling fan until the day they die. 7--Betting will be closed and the thread locked 30-60 minutes before the PPV, but you may edit your bets in the thread up until that time 8--Those who make enough to stay on till next month will now get a $100 survival reward. 9--I’m bumping the membership up to 25, so the first six newcomers to post their bets in this thread get to join the party. When you first join, you get an initial $500 to bet with. --------------------
Guest DeputyHawk Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 The Royal Rumble Card: Raw World title: Triple-H © vs. Scott Steiner Smackdown World title: Kurt Angle © vs. Chris Benoit Rumble Showdown: Brock Lesnar vs. The Big Show Raw Tag Team title: Lance Storm & William Regal © vs. The Dudley Boyz Stepmother vs. Stepdaughter: Dawn Marie vs. Torrie Wilson Royal Rumble: Raw: Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, Rob Van Dam, Kane, Batista, Booker T, Goldust, Christian, Jeff Hardy, Tommy Dreamer, Rosey, Jamal, Test, Christopher Nowinski, Maven Smackdown: Brock Lesnar or The Big Show plus ….. Edge, Eddie Guerrero, A-Train, Matt Hardy, Rey Mysterio, Rikishi, Chavo Guerrero, Shelton Benjamin, Charlie Haas, John Cena, B2, Bill DeMott, Tajiri plus ... one other mysterious person (possibly Undertaker) Note: betting on the Rumble itself consists of simply picking the one overall winner, but unique to this month as a bonus bet I’m offering 5/1 odds on anyone who thinks they can pick the Final Four on a fixed bet of $100. So if you pick the four correctly you can win $500, but if you fail to predict accurately you only lose your initial $100 bet. (changed due to popular dissent) EDIT: the Final Four bet is a bonus opportunity, not a bonus $100 to play with. you still only have $500 if you're a newcomer, and however much you have in your bank if you're a holdover. sheesh, sorry for all the confusion this is causing... Clear as mud? Good. I know this all makes sense in my head, but if it’s gobbldygook to the rest of the world then just shout at me and I’ll try to clarify it. --------------------
Guest DeputyHawk Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 My own picks to kick off from $1300 in the bank … The Royal Rumble Card: Raw World title: Triple-H © vs. Scott Steiner $100 on HHH Smackdown World title: Kurt Angle © vs. Chris Benoit $100 on Angle Rumble Showdown: Brock Lesnar vs. The Big Show $100 on Brock Raw Tag Team title: Lance Storm & William Regal © vs. The Dudley Boyz $100 on The Dudleyz Stepmother vs. Stepdaughter: Dawn Marie vs. Torrie Wilson $100 on Dawn Marie Royal Rumble: $100 on Brock Lesnar to win + $100 on Brock Lesnar, Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho & Matt Hardy as the Final Four Okay, that’s it. It’s new and frightening. Hope it all makes sense. -------------------- PS- cheap plug for the ‘Push-Me Poll’, my upcoming monthly column for the site. The prototype edition is up in the Smarks Krew folder and the January one will be up on the main site in a few weeks. Read it, it’s full of information and fun! And stuff.

Guest The Hollywood Fashion Plate Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 I'm in. The Royal Rumble Card: Raw World title: Triple-H © vs. Scott Steiner $50 on Triple-H Smackdown World title: Kurt Angle © vs. Chris Benoit $100 on Kurt Angle Rumble Showdown: Brock Lesnar vs. The Big Show $50 on Brock Lesnar Raw Tag Team title: Lance Storm & William Regal © vs. The Dudley Boyz $50 on Regal/Storm Al Wilson’s Decaying Corpse On A Pole Match: Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie $50 on Torrie Wilson Royal Rumble Match $50 on Brock Lesnar
Guest CanadianChris Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 Note: betting on the Rumble itself consists of simply picking the one overall winner, but unique to this month as a bonus bet I’m offering 5/1 odds on anyone who thinks they can pick the Final Four on a fixed bet of $100. So if you pick the four correctly you win $500, but if you fail to name the four accuartely, you also lose $500. Um...doesn't 5-1 mean you're risking $100 to win $500? You can't LOSE $500 on this bet, too. Anyway... The Royal Rumble Card: Raw World title: Triple-H © vs. Scott Steiner $100 on Steiner Smackdown World title: Kurt Angle © vs. Chris Benoit $50 on Benoit Rumble Showdown: Brock Lesnar vs. The Big Show $100 on Brock Raw Tag Team title: Lance Storm & William Regal © vs. The Dudley Boyz $50 on Storm & Regal Royal Rumble: $100 on Brock Lesnar to win
Guest DeputyHawk Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 Um...doesn't 5-1 mean you're risking $100 to win $500? You can't LOSE $500 on this bet, too. Anyway... quiet, you. yes, strictly speaking in gambling terms it means that. but for ease of usage the way the betting thread works is just you win or lose the amount you bet depending upon the accuracy of the result. the 'final four' challenge is just the same as that but with 5x the reward or loss if you want to take that big of a risk. i know i shouldn't strictly bill it as 5/1 odds, but you get the idea, hopefully. or does that just make no sense anywhere else other than my brain? EDIT: Final Four rules have now been (reluctantly) changed to traditional 5/1 odds in the main post. So you can win $500 if correct, but only lose your initian $100 putdown if your are incorrect. Pussies.
Guest Downhome Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 Raw World title: Triple-H © vs. Scott Steiner $50 on HHH Smackdown World title: Kurt Angle © vs. Chris Benoit $100 on Kurt Angle Rumble Showdown: Brock Lesnar vs. The Big Show $50 on TBS Raw Tag Team title: Lance Storm & William Regal © vs. The Dudley Boyz $100 on Storm/Regal Stepmother vs. Stepdaughter: Dawn Marie vs. Torrie Wilson $50 on Torrie Wilson Royal Rumble: $50 on Chris Jericho $100 on Chris Jericho, HBK, TBS, Nathan Jones

So wouldn't that make it the exact same thing as betting $500, with a $400 loan...? And I do think that it should be 5/1 odds--guessing the Final Four of the Rumble is not nearly as easy a thing to get right as the winner of a singles or tag match; there should be some bonus to picking the final four, in order to curtail the risk of it. And I'm in too...my first time, so I bet $500. Angle vs. Benoit: $100 on Angle Lesnar vs. Big Show: $100 on Lesnar HHH vs. Steiner: $100 on HHH Torrie vs. Dawn: $100 on Torrie Royal Rumble: $100 on Lesnar (Props to DeputyHawk on taking the time to continue doing this, BTW!)

Guest DeputyHawk Posted January 15, 2003 Report Posted January 15, 2003 new Final Four rules: changed due to pupular dissent ... Note: betting on the Rumble itself consists of simply picking the one overall winner, but unique to this month as a bonus bet I’m offering 5/1 odds on anyone who thinks they can pick the Final Four on a fixed bet of $100. So if you pick the four correctly you can win $500, but if you fail to predict accurately you only lose your initial $100 bet.

Guest DeputyHawk Posted January 17, 2003 Report Posted January 17, 2003 What the fuck? Whatever happened to $250 bets and stuff? I want to double my money YET AGAIN!!!!! i changed the format after last month, because almost everyone just bet $250 on the most predictable matches and no one lost any money. reducing the maximum bet means people have to spread their predictions out over more of the card, and calling more matches takes more skill. that was the idea, anyway. also, to all the new people who have placed bets. there is room for you to be included at the moment, but if any more of last month's holdovers place bets, they will get preference and i may have to exclude some folk. seems crappy, but i have to put a limit on entrants cause it's hard work totting up all the scores after the event. after a quick scroll down, i think there's like 21 or 22 people with bets on at the moment, so it should be all good. cheers, dh.
