UVA tournament bet

[skurey]

Lot of crazy posts flying around so let's have some fun.

I am willing to bet $20 (paid via Venmo) against the first 5 posters who want action.

I will take UVA to win the NCAA tournament this year. You can take any other team. If UVA wins the championship I win the bet. If your team wins the championship you win the bet. If neither team wins the championship then there is no payment.

If you take Duke you get them with or without Zion so be careful.

lol so your gonna take the favorite and ask someone else to take another team at 1:1 odds when they can go to a casino, bookie or offshore book and get any team they want at at least +180

Yep lots of people were posting about how UVA will lose early again.

As long as they don't play duke.

UVA won’t win the NCAA. But 1:1 against only 1 other team isn’t a good bet.

 

[skurey]

Sure seems like a good bet for all the posters in the game thread saying they'll lose early again.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Nothing would be sweeter than UVA not making the Sweet 16. What odds do you want to give me OP?

Why? Still have to pick the winner at even money. You might as well take that bet and place it in a sports book to get the right odds.

I just looked it up.

Duke and Gonzaga are ahead of Virginia in Vegas.

Sorry that ruins your narrative.

 

[longislandcuse]

I might be in the minority that roots for them. I like Bennett a lot and want him to advance.

Him checking on Dolezaj was class.

I don’t believe they will make the Final 4, but I hope they do.

But that's not the bet.

I'm in on that for sure. I'll take Gonzaga.

My narrative is I can bet any team at better odds than 1:1

 

[skurey]

I'm in on that for sure. I'll take Gonzaga.

Thank you. Good luck.

Uncle Skurey! Hustling!!

 

[bpo57]

Btw I'm not saying - nor did I ever say- UVA will lose early. But I think there are 4-5 teams I like better than UVA to win it all.

 

[jdubs30]

I'm in on that for sure. I'll take Gonzaga.

Or you can bet Gonzaga At 5:1 and get 5x the payout

You're losing money by not taking Duke against my UVA.

I’m kinda torn. I like Bennett because he acts like a normal, decent guy unlike most of these clowns.

I don’t really like their players or enjoy watching them. I don’t feel strongly either way about them.

Well done skurey.

Some were obviously reacting to our loss with a reflexive need to down UVA.

With money on the line, the bloviating stopped pretty quickly.

 

[bpo57]

Thank you. Good luck.

Likewise. So to recap for $20 - I pay you if UVA wins it all and u pay me if the Zags win it all. Otherwise it's a push. Correct?

Correct.

I've already done that for $200.

i think you're missing the point. This is a one on one bet and the only way I lose is if UVA wins it all. Quite a bit different than a straight bet on Gonzaga at 5 to 1.

Said it a few days ago but the serious money bet is LSU at 50 to 1. That's a sweet one right there. Won 17 of 19. Beat UK at Lexington and beat Tennessee without their stud PG. Both in last two weeks.
