Last season we wagered TP’s in Game 7 vs Washington. Lots of action. And good result (for me).
Any chance we could wager on making into 2nd round? Seems with all the injuries it is close to a 50-50 proposition. Let me know your thoughts. I know mods need to weigh in here.
Thoughts?
-
I think its a great idea. It would need to be sanctioned by the mods soon though if we want to get the wagers in on time.
-
I got 50 TP on us making the 2nd round lol.
-
With Home Court and Brad Stevens as coach. I believe. Rozier has to play very well for it to happen. With the way Monroe played last night I think we have a good shot. Larkin also will have to play well too. I would be willing to wager my TP's on it.
-
Wow this will be a coin flip
-
I’d like to see who we are playing.
I think my order of preference would be:
Miami
Milwaukee
Washington
Let’s see, Giannis is sitting tonight, but it’s the Knicks, so they could still win. They then play Orlando and Philly who should still be jockeying for seeding. Prediction: 2-1
Miami plays OKC tomorrow, who still hasn’t clinched so they need the win (especially if Denver holds on to their lead right now and OKC loses in Houston later). They also play Toronto who I’m sure will be resting everyone important. Prediction: 1-1
Washington plays us and Orlando. I think we rest guys agains them. Prediction: 2-0
And now looking at that, that would leave all teams with 44 wins. No clue who holds tiebreakers. This was pointless.

I prefer Miami or Washington

Rozier, brown, tatum, baynes, horford, Monroe, Morris, larkin
Add in Stevens and we are in second round, brown tatum and horford

TP for the idea, footey.
I ran that last year and did all the accounting on it and Redz was kind enough to make the TP adjustments. So you’re right, a mod needs to make the eventual additions/subtractions, and while it's a bit of work for them, the fact that someone else is doing the paperwork makes it a little more palatable for them.
Just a warning, but it is a bit of work. If I recall correctly, I think that we had 100+ people involved.
Good luck....to both our Cs and to us.
EDIT: I will definitely be wagering. I will wait though to see our opponent to determine the size of my "investment".
-
I'm in. I bet 1000 Tommy Points that the Celtics get past the 1st round, regardless of who the opponent is.
-
LOL I remember that! Doing the Tommy Point wagering for the Game 7.
Thank you Olynyk for those extra TP's! :laugh:
It was a fun experience overall before the game, during the game, and of course, after the game when they won.
I would love to do that again. TP for the idea. While realistically our chances of even making the ECF took a huge hit w/o Kyrie and others, it should still be a fun playoffs seeing the young guys grow and hopefully have career games, and having this TP wagering would add another bit of excitement lol. ;D
-
Is this happening?
-
If this is happening I will bet half of my Tommy Points.
-
Never heard from mods so I guess not. It’s a lot of work to implement apparently.
-
We need a mod to be willing to make the adjustments, and one of us to do the record keeping so the mods can make the adjustments from our records.
I nominate footey, since he is the OP, and give him another TP as incentive to do the record keeping.
C’mon footey, I’ve given you two TPs already in this thread....whaddya say?
Also, as a suggestion, wagers close at tip-off, just like with the books.
-
I will bet all my TP on us advancing to the 2nd round. You can take that to the bank.

Happy to handle the record keeping, 60’s.
I’m wagering 150 TP’s.

footey, That’s how to step up!!!!!
We Cs’ fans are THE BEST!!

I will find out from Roy or Dons how to manipulate the TPs and do the work on that end.
-
I'm not against TP bets, but I'm not sure getting to the 2nd round is worthy of a bet. Will there be another one for getting to the ECF if they get past MIL? We had gone 6 years without any bets involving TPs before last year's WAS game 7 wager.
Also, I don't think the stakes are high enough. It should be old school 'all or nothing' on TPs. Only betting a portion shows that you are not really that confident in your choice ;D

Awesome! Thanks Nick!

I will bet half of my TP. I believe in the J team
-
All in! Easiest TPs I'll ever get.

I agree on the first point that this one doesn't feel as worthy of a bet as last year. We had just had 6 games of hit you in the mouth old school basketball from the rival Wizards and the bet felt like we were putting pur money where our mouths were. This year though I think that most would agree that even without Kyrie we're favored in the series.
I do dissagree on the all or nothing point though. I put 40 of my 160ish TP's down last year which felt like a sizable wager but not enough to swing my total TP count too far out of whack either way. That was a fun night.
-
If we are doing this I’d like to bet 150 TP’s.

I agree on both counts. The game 7 wagers were a lot of fun. Hopefully we have another exciting moment to ante up again soon.

10 minutes to go before the window closes!

All bets are in. Window closed.

All bets are in. Window closed.
How many people even bet?? I'm assuming a lot of people don't even know of this wager thing since it was a thread weeks ago that just opened up again.
The Game 7 wager thing last year was opened a lot earlier and folks had like 2.5 days to put in bets.
I actually didn't even know this got confirmed until just 15 minutes ago :P
-
Ahh I’m upset I missed this, should be extended to tip off so I can go all in! Go C’s!

Right?
This game indicative that it should be a very close series; would not be surprised to see game 7 OT thriller.

Once I saw the C's draw the Bucks (the best match up the C's could get at the end of the year), I knew we had the series and would have gone ALL IN but I was busy.
Count me All In for this series and I'm going double or nothing no matter who emerges from the Philly/Miami series. Need to start getting some TP's to get to where I want to be.
"Donations" to make my bet as big as I can as possible are welcome and appreciated. :) ;)

Too late. Always easy to say you would have bet after the Cs are up 2-0. Sorry, my man.
-
Aww man I missed out on this :(
-
So I don't miss the next one, I'd like to officially wager all of SparzWizard's TPs on the Celts winning the Finals.
