Is it going to be like WC2003? or WC1999 or WC1996.

WC2003 - Steelers will win.
WC1999 - Steelers will win.
WC1996 - Seahawks will win.

Who is going to be Ponting ? And Zaheer Khan/Srinath.

The BIG Ben will be Ponting if you ask me.

Anybody want to get some wagers in on the game?

justforkix · « **Reply #2 on:** February 05, 2006, 11:17:58 PM »

Troy Palomalo will be the MVP !!!

I'll give you 5-1 odds on that-- you game?

Sahir · « **Reply #4 on:** February 05, 2006, 11:32:44 PM »

My guess is that BIG BEN will be the MVP

justforkix · « **Reply #5 on:** February 05, 2006, 11:55:40 PM »

I have a feeling Hasselback might be the MVP

Sahir · « **Reply #6 on:** February 05, 2006, 11:58:54 PM »

yep-- looking like that-- how about 3/2 odds on Hasselbeck to be the MVP?

justforkix · « **Reply #7 on:** February 06, 2006, 12:10:01 AM »

OK. How much. I'm in for 3/2 for say $5 ?

Let us have multiple ones :

Winner
MVP
Total points
Difference

so far, poor steelers, 3 times 3 and out

OK on the MVP for $5 at the 3/2 odds-- what are you looking for on the game and total spread?

justforkix · « **Reply #10 on:** February 06, 2006, 12:20:49 AM »

Sahir : sorry for being so naive. what does 3/2 odds mean wrt $5 ?

Winner : Seattle
MVP : hasselback
Total Points : >= 35
Difference : >=4

Not sure about odds....

I guess u don't want to wager anything on this now

Sahir · « **Reply #12 on:** February 06, 2006, 12:23:18 AM »

3/2 means you win 3 for my 2-- therefore, 1.5 times the amount. If you risk 5, you can win 7.50. I'll accept the under 35 for $5-- even odds. The difference-- who are u favoring by 4?

NO!

justforkix · « **Reply #14 on:** February 06, 2006, 12:28:01 AM »

OK. So basically, if Hasselback is MVP, you owe me $7.5. If Hasselback is not MVP, I owe you $5 ?

Obviously Difference of 4 or more in favor of Seattle, because I picked them as winner

OK :

Each $5 :

Winner : Seattle
MVP : hasselback (3/2 odds)
Total Points : >= 35
Difference : >=4 (Seattle)

Deal ?

Sahir · « **Reply #15 on:** February 06, 2006, 12:31:43 AM »

DEAL
I got Pittsburgh +4
UNDER 35
NOT HASSELBECK 2/3

$5 EACH!

Sahir · « **Reply #16 on:** February 06, 2006, 12:32:59 AM »

So if steelers or seahawks win with spread less than 4, that bet is cancelled ?

Sahir · « **Reply #19 on:** February 06, 2006, 12:50:00 AM »

No-- for you to win, the Seahawks will have to win by more than 4 points; for me to win, the Steelers will have to lose by 3 points or less, or win outright. If Seattle wins by exactly 4, then it is a tie.

justforkix · « **Reply #20 on:** February 06, 2006, 01:03:17 AM »

Man. I'm really confused now

Can u list the bets ?

MVP and over/under 35 I understand.

Are the winner and spread part of the same bet or different bets ?

Sahir · « **Reply #21 on:** February 06, 2006, 01:05:08 AM »

I thought the winner and spead were the same bet, but you thought they were different? What were you thinking the two separate bets were?

No. It can be separate of together. I don't care.

I got confused by the above. My bet was Seattle +4. Yours was Steelers +4. So I was thinking these two were 2 separate bets....

Initially, I was thinking winner and spread were separate.

i.e., I picked winner as seattle and spread as >=4 (doesen't matter who wins, but has to be >=4)...

Sahir · « **Reply #24 on:** February 06, 2006, 01:14:13 AM »

Oh-- ok
Fine-- I'll take Pittsburgh as the winner and that the game will be within 4 points. If the difference is exactly 4, I win?

Sahir · « **Reply #25 on:** February 06, 2006, 01:17:04 AM »

How about if the difference is exactly 4, it is a tie.

Therefore, here are the bets, all for $5 each:

OVER/UNDER 35
HASSELBECK MVP
PITTSBURGH/SEATTLE; who will win
Winner will win by more or less than 4 points?

justforkix · « **Reply #26 on:** February 06, 2006, 01:17:44 AM »

Letz call 4 a tie. > 4 I win. < 4, u win.

btw, just checked that arpan has not made any changes to his team in the VB thingie. wonder what dhruv was smoking

Sounds good-- yeah-- Arpan did not make any changes, which really leaves him with quite a bit of flexibility with the finals approaching

No-- definitely not Ponting-- BIG BEN was rather poor in the first half-- looked really nervous. Pittsburgh really got some very lucky breaks from the refs to be up at the half.

justforkix · « **Reply #31 on:** February 06, 2006, 01:26:45 AM »

Teddy - Steelers didn't even have a 1st down for 19 mins. Ben had one good throw scrambling out of the pocket to Hines Ward. So, No, nowhere playing close to Punter.

Yup. That offensive pass interference call was a big joke. And that Big Ben TD was quite questionable....

Letz see what half time adjustments both coaches make.

No, you still have a chance, but only if RSA wins tomorrow. They are the slight favorites, so...

justforkix · « **Reply #34 on:** February 06, 2006, 02:03:25 AM »

Seattle are coming back

24 pts total already too...

Big Ben isplaying more like Zaheer Khan

Teddy · « **Reply #35 on:** February 06, 2006, 02:08:36 AM »

Did anyone the Seahawks are owned by Paul Allen - the microsoft founder and 5th richest man in the world.

justforkix · « **Reply #36 on:** February 06, 2006, 02:15:24 AM »

Yea of course... common NFL knowledge

justforkix · « **Reply #37 on:** February 06, 2006, 02:29:48 AM »

Looks like Hines Ward is going to be the MVP....

Sair - looks like we'll be all even unless Seattle makes a comeback...
