BMR BEST BET THREAD - May 18th, 2022 🛑

[Tanko]

UPDATING FOR SHORTSTOP

Post your strongest bet of the day. You can use any sport you want, all types of straight wagers accepted, just make it clear.

You may play money lines, but only between -400 and +400

Scoring is as follows; -110 is risking 1.10 to win 1.00 and risking +110 is risking 1.00 to win 1.10

Post your record along with the play, the line, the odds and the book. Use American Odds, not Decimal.

For MLB wagers, both listed pitchers must start in order for your play to be valid unless stated "Action" for the game.

For Soccer and Tennis plays: List the date, time, the opponent and how draws and retirements are to be graded.

Do not edit your post or it will be graded as a -330 loss. Plays must be posted before the official start time.

***NO RECORD, NO LINE, NO ODDS, NO BOOK = NO ACTION***

Check for errors.
Thanks.

Tanko can I post this pick as a best bet ? It’s for the entire tournament though 4 days of play.

05/1905:00
Top English - PGA Championship 2022
Matthew Fitzpatrick+355
Tyrrell Hatton+475
Tommy Fleetwood+450
Justin Rose+700
Sam Horsfield+800
Lee Westwood+1650
Ian Poulter+1150
Richard Bland+2050
Laurie Canter+1450



I wanna select Matthew Fitzpatrick+355 this means he will have the best total score in this list of golfers. This will be graded on Sunday.

 

[Tanko]

I think that should be OK. We would be saying your best bet for today is for Fitz +355 to win this group. Results coming Sunday.

ShortStop/CapPig - You guys ran the Best Bet thread across the street, is this OK?

To make sure I don't mess it up, I may carry the post forward into subsequent daily threads.

 

[Tanko]

Good luck BTJ.

 

[JDS]

Good luck BTJ.

Thanks Tanko I’ll need it, I have a lot of ground work to make up to get out of clownville.

I’ll defer to you and Shortstop on this, my opinion is your opening yourself up to someone coming in saying, ok I’ll take XYZ team to win a series, you won’t be able to say no at that point, gl on whatever you decide

 

[Tanko]

So this was not done in the thread you guys had across the street years ago?

As you mention, allowing this might then lead to someone posting a play that is tough to keep track of (e.g. bet on LA Rams to win Superbowl in 2023 - months out).

Meanwhile I'll check with Shortstop he's the thread "originator".

“So this was not done in the thread you guys had across the street years ago?”

Not to my knowledge

Since Capitalist Pig doesn’t agree with this type of play no further opinions have to be reached. I wanted a unanimous agreement. So cancel that play regarding this contest.

 

[Tanko]

OK. BTJ.
I'm still checking with ShortStop for future reference.

jds it’s not my call, I’m just a participant, I’m not taking a side either way on this, I just pointed out what others might do, I’d let SS be the final word on these type plays, gl

What you pointed out was a valid & upstanding point. I don’t want to create a problem in the future.
