Topic: Sports betting Challenge (Me vs You!) - page 3. (Read 4754 times)

3 plays today for myself, two of them on the Oakland game. BOL to all!

Records updated, Msbitcoin went 5-2 for +2.8 units, and moneymaker1990 went 2-2 for +1.00 unit. If those are wrong let me know. I'm personally hoping that pickmonitor offers some props of who finishes better in the HR derby, have a couple matchups in mind.

As you can see from what MsBitcoin is doing, a lot of relatively smaller sports are able to be wagered on besides the top 3 of NFL, NBA and MLB. If there is enough MMA fights notserp you could base most of your picks on the fights. You would just have to keep in mind the time limit for the challenge. I would still pick mostly MLB for my side of the challenge.

i would be down for mma

Added WNBA
NY 1h u70 -110

Haha no idea on any of your plays today MsBitcoin, good luck tho! Also to both challenges, will update the OP with current challenge scores at end of today since you guys are making quite a few plays.

Added 4 Arena Football plays
Jac u115 -110
Pit u103 -110
Orl o94 -110
Ari u115 -110

Good luck guys! Haven't found anything I like today so might just sit back and watch how your plays go.

I've got a few plays in for today also.

I made my first two plays
Min Lynx 1h -5.5 -110
Min Lynx -9.5 -105

First day for my challenge with moneyman1990, hes gone 1-1 so far (+0.00 units) with a win with Miami +1.5 and a loss with Texas ML. I'm 1-0 with Orioles -.5 1st 5 innings, and currently have a pending play on arizona diamondbacks ML. Moneyman also has a pending play on Angels -1.5.

Also for anyone not wanting to look up myself or any of my challengers stats, I am keeping track of +/- units and how many plays have been made by everyone in the OP of this thread. It is at the bottom in bold.

Still looking for up to 3.75 BTC to be challenged!  

I do not follow MMA or UFC however I do watch them from time to time. My sports betting challenging includes any and all sports that are included on pickmonitor.com, which has almost every line for every sport. I'm sure they have MMA, so thus if there are enough fights, you could simply just wager on fights while I bet on baseball or football. However, the max lines tho are -200 to +200 to prevent any late big comebacks by an opponent being down like 5 units with 1 pick to go (obviously they'll pick a huge underdog then). If you are serious though I could increase the max acceptable lines to -300 to +300 for our challenge. Let me know if you are interested!

You interested in doing this for MMA (mostly UFC) events?

I'll think about it and probably come up with something of my own for highrollers or such, probably not 2 BTC though, probably 1 BTC with min 5 entries. I honestly like the idea of doing something with spreads but we'll let the public decide. I'll make a post about it in coming week or two and first poll people to see which version they would like. Also uvwvj I will be joining your pool, no worries there, however I prefer not to join things til last minute for my own personal accounting purposes.

I am confident in my NFL handicapping abilities but those are def too much of my BR to put up. As for college football I generally do not handicap these as much. NFL is my main moneymaker during football season. I could do 5 BTC season, as for weekly, I generally only have 2-3 plays that I unload on, thus I don't know if I'd be interested in doing one. I might do a survivor pool however someone else is doing one so I don't want to be rude and compete with them, but if its a high roller version I could see it happening. Do you think there would be interest in this such contest:

Spread Survivor
-Each week participants choose 2 spreads (ATS) based on pickmonitor lines, and you are eliminated once you lose 5 spreads.
-Winner is last one standing.

Or we could do this sort of thing:
-Pick 2 spreads each week, best record in end wins (or could have top 2 or 4 handicappers compete in a playoff type fashion picking the spreads of every playoff game).

Let me know what you think, thanks!

We can discuss further but I'd like to de a HU challenge once football season begins.  My initial thoughts are:

1) Weekly challenge for 1btc
2) 1/2 season challenge for 5btc
3) Full Season challenge for 10btc

Additionally, I look forward to you creating a survivor pool w/ 2btc entry fee. 
 
Clearly all above can be for both NFL and NCAAF - 2 separate - not together.

Thanks

Moneyman1990 has accepted the terms and sent his .25, I will send mine shortly to the address (waiting on a coinbase transfer to actually send). He requested we begin tonight so here is the official confirmation of the challenge:

Terms: 20 day time limit, first 12 plays count, must make 12 plays or player forfeits, highest +/- unit record wins.

Good luck!

Edit: My .25 for the challenge has now been sent to the address.

A new member has contacted me via PM wanting to do a 10 pick / 14 day challenge for .25 BTC. As I forgot about the All Star break I have requested to him to make the length 20 days for the challenge if he is up for it. Note: He has requested 12 picks / 20 days. The user "moneymaker1990" just signed up so he cannot post here. However it is my hope that by the time this challenge is over he has made his account past the newbies blocks set in place by the forum so that he can post here that he received the funds or whatever if he wins. Anyways here is the terms, please PM if you agree to it:

Challenge is 12 picks within 20 days. If a party fails to make 12 picks within the allotted time, that party forfeits. Only first 10 plays count. Every favorite wager (-xxx) is TO WIN 1 unit. Every underdog wager (+xxx) is RISKING 1 unit. The party who's total +/- units after 10 picks is higher wins. All official picks by each party must be submitted onto pickmonitor.com. The address that will hold the .25 from each member for this challenge is: 1K2G9DbHi6ZeRNea1oWLLeH8XRRcWNhSW6

If you agree to these terms "moneyman1990" please send your .25 to that address and PM me also that you accept. Within 24 hours I will do the same. The funds in this account will remain untouched until a winner has been announced in which the funds will be sent to the winner's address.
Pickmonitor accounts:

Also note, when I have multiple challenges open, my plays count for any challenges that are open. If I make a play two days from now and I have open challenges against Msbitcoin and moneymaker1990, that pick will affect my record for both challenges.

If anyone else wants to do a challenge, I am still looking to do up to 1 BTC per person, another 3.75 BTC total.

Bump, looking to do up to 4 BTC more, escrow is fine. 10 picks within 14 days or 25 picks within 30 days 

Awesome comeback for dodgers, +2.01 units now 2/25 picks completed. Cmon Msbitcoin make a play or two 

Also, I am still looking for others to do this with! I can contact JohnK the moment you let me know you are interested. I have 4 more BTC set aside for this, and just fyi even tho I did go 2-0 yesterday, the day before i went 0 for 3 so I am beatable!
