Superbowl BettingFollow

Hey folks, I'm always viewing stuff on the boards but don't post much because I don't feel like rehashing stuff that's already been said and try to stay out of the server drama.

Anyhoo....

People have been complaining about how boring gambling with a casino, spamming /random, and the risk of losing gil to some asshats rank 1 mule that is on /anon. So for 1 time only I will be opening up Russdabus Booking Services for the Superbowl this Sunday.

It is a one time deal only for the biggest sporting event in the world. This is how it works.

The point spread as of this very moment is the Philadelphia Eagles getting 7.5 points. So, for the unschooled in the ways of betting the spread, if you think the Patriots will win by 8 points or more, you then bet on the Eagles. If you think that either the Eagles will win, or lose by 1-7 points, then you bet on the Eagles.

Just like in real life there will be a small vig (or fee the house or bookie collects). The vig will be set at 10%. So if you want to bet 5,000 you will send/trade me 5,500. If you place a losing bet I keep the gil. If you win, then I will send you back/trade 10,000. Max bet is 5K, and I do reserve the right to adjust the point spread (just like the big boy). I'm not looking to make a huge amount of money, or go broke. Just something to do for fun

I understand if people are concerned about scams and being burned you can ask the people from WST or Vanadiels Finest about me. I'm doing this with my main character Russdabus 55whm Rank 5, not a mule, so it'd be pretty foolish for me to ***** people.

Any questions comments concerns? Post here or send me a tell if you're interested.

PS... I will not be shouting this in Jeuno or any other town. I do that enough while tele-taxiing.

Well you dont have to, however that would net you the biggest money.

I'd bet N.E. only cause I can't bet against my team.

HOwever, if you think NE will clear the spread, wouldn't you bet on NE?

IN CASE, none of you have ever /check ed me and seen my bazaar message, I am a die-hard Eagles fan. I have updated the Bazaar message week in and week out. So I have gladly updated it from Philadelphia Eagles to the Super Bowl to IN THE SUPER BOWL. plus a little message that is true.

Tom Brady sucks.

SO! I will NEVER go against my team. If I play against the Eagles on Madden, then i will purposely lose.

E-A-G-L-E-S! EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5k on MY BOYS!!!

They Dynasty ends Sunday. :-b. They're going down Warf and all you'll have is a big egg and some eagle poo resin to show for it.

Personally I'm not big on either team but I'm sick of the patsies so GO EAGLES! LoL.

If the spread is really 7.5, I might have to drop 50-100 on the eagles IRL. Hmm... heads to sportsbetting.com to check his account. LoL. I met Corey Dillon and he's an ***. LoL. I'll gladly bet against him.

Would you break the wheel locks off a Bentley? {No, thanks}. LoL. I used to work for a garage (Tire Discounters for those in Ohio) and he came in wanting me to break his wheels off so he could put his 20s on. And honestly, how many diamonds does one guy need? He looked like a tall P Diddy. LoL

I know nothing of sports, so I will make a bold bet! I am betting 5000g that a football team made up of football players will in fact win this superbowl. I know i'm going out on a limb here, but one has to live dangerously and throw caution to the wind every so often.

Ok Algar, bet between buds, if I lose I pay when I log on. If you lose you pay when I log on, good?

100k good?

No spread no nuthin, Pats win you owe me 100k, eagles win I owe you 100k. Just a straight bet.

I love this thread! It combines two of my favorite things, FF11, and football. My Superbowl picks in week one were Eagles and Colts. The Eagles made it, and the Clots got beat by those stupid patriots (again).... So I have all the more reason to pray that the Eagles destroy the patriots. The only good thing about the patriots is Tom brady, and that is only because he played for University of Michigan. He has a couple rings, so i am done cheering for former maze/blue. So again, GO EAGLES!!

WTF?!?!

The only good thing about the patriots is Tom Brady? Good god your a MORON. Oh well, I guess thats what you get w/ eagles fans.

At best for the eagles it will be a close game. It won't be a blowout in their favor, I can assure you of that. I'm not saying the Pats are a shoe in to win, but I'm also not being an ******* about how they suck, and don't have a chance.

People, GROW UP. I can't wait till sundy. Win or lose it will be a GOOD game.

Everyone else is just pissed that Patriot players take pay cuts to stay at that team. No one likes that a team is able to become a dynasty in this day and age. TOO BAD!!! They obviously have what it takes, and since the NFC blew this year, the eagles are the only team that even deserve to step on that SB field in 2 days.

If you want the eagles to win thats fine, but quit talking **** about how the Patriots suck. Just cause they don't rely on big name players, and still win 14 games doesn't mean they suck. Show me another team that had as many injuries, and was able to make it to the SB. OH THATS RIGHT YOU CANT!! Not a single team did so good w/ so little.

See, friendly ribbin' I can understand. Hence my sig.

But being serious about it is what gets to me. I don't like the spread myself. Not much you can do about it though. I still like how the Eagles feel compelled to talk smack even though they are the underdog.

It's a little more fuel for the fire in Foxboro.

We'll just have to wait and see.

Anyone else that wants to place a bet, please send me a tell tonight, I will be on starting around 730PM EST through some time late in the night. I won't be taking any bets on Sunday though. GL everyone.

WoW Warf . See what us new england sports fans have to deal with.
the world is against us. No worries. The Pats are a truly dominant team, and ppl dont want to hear it because they are either[A.] fans of their obvious local team, or[B.] (the most common one), they are nothing but media hype followers. They oogle the nike commercial stars and 1-man team players, cuz the jersey looks cool. New england sports teams have never been nationally appreciated. No reason at all to expect to see it now, (even though the pats are a dynasty). So just keep on giving us new englanders love, lord knows the Pats and the Redsox have earned it. Also, if memory serves me well, the Pats have lost only 4 games in the last 2 years, wow, thats a sucky team if i've ever seen one.Smiley: tongue Anyway, WOOT PATRIOTS,keep on winning and making us new englanders proud. Smiley: bowdown
