Err, sarge, the point of being a bookie and making odds is to predict how people will bet, not to ask them.

hmmm... i've been consulting via PM with a few sources, came to this conclusion because I'm not much of a gambler

I see your point.

Ok.. cancel poll...just post up in Bookie?

 

[Shades McCool]

Well it will be interesting to see what everyone thinks anyways!

 

[SgtSlaughter]

Very true.

So maybe I should pull odds outa my arse and see what happens? I gotta fahkin' GOOOOOOOOO i'm wicked late right now with some "stuff" so posting up in bookie and i'm outa hea!

 

[Cynical Simian]

I think Shades is the pretty clear favorite (no offense to mm107, of course). Do something like the odds I posted in his journal, or maybe even make him a bit more of a favorite that those.

Shades: 75/100
mm107: 105/100

And where did Sept. 30 come from? I think it'll happen something like this, rather than on an official "test" day: shades/mm107 feels crazy strong after his last set of deads one day and decides to try for a single at 500.

The only real question, IMO, is whether a video should be required as proof of the feat.

 

[SgtSlaughter]

Video is required... the contestants chose that date.

already posted it. sorry but i'm in a rush... will clear it up later or tomorrow if i screwed it up.

Lemme know if this needs to be moved / deleted Sarge ...

Interesting ...

 

[BiggT]

I'm not gonna bet, I want to see them both get it....

I think they're both more than capable of it a lot sooner than Sept too, this will be fun to follow along though......if Shades or MM want a good guage, I'd say a triple with 455 would typically be good for a 500 single with room to spare.

I forgot to mention the part where he wasn't supposed to mention this poll was to be used for odds.
