    I bet BRoy will average 16.5 points / 4 rebounds / 4 assists a game @ 30 minutes a game. Play in 80% + more games. I get a 1 rebound and 1 assist cushion. No cushion on points. He must score 16.5 or higher in order for me to win.

    I will take 2/1 odds @ $20 min/$100 max per bet (Must bet $20 to get $10 from me). All of you can bet against me. :D

    so the bet would be $100 to get $50 that Roy will be above ALL of the following:

    1) 52 games (I'll be generous and round down from 52.8)
    2) 30 mpg
    3) 16.5 points
    4) 3 assists
    5) 3 rebounds?

    If so, I'm in.

    Just to be clear, is this whether or not he's in a Blazer uniform doing so? Or do I have to root against whatever team picks him up as well?

    If I knew you and your son personally; I would have no problem doing that. Then again, if we knew each other personally; I would expect some back court passes as well. :wink:

    Let's just say I have somewhat of an addictive personality, so I will refrain from gambling on this.

    Yep! You are on lock. And the great thing about this board is this can't be deleted; so no one can say they didn't bet. Trust me... I've always paid too. Ask Sly and my payments for his sexual favors. I have his paypal account memorized!

    How about you and I wager without money? How about everytime Roy has a 16+ point performance, you go on this board and say you "Mags is mighty!". And everytime he doesn't I post "Mediocre Man is mighty!"

    It is a sucker bet, but the payout is shit. Give me 3/2 odds and you've got yourself a deal for $30 ($20 if I win, $30 if you win).

    Sorry you must take the odds given. If you want 1:1, then you see my offer.
