UVA tournament bet

[OrlandoCuse]

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.

Lol, $20??

Skurey, tell you what, if UVA wins the NCAAT this year I’ll Venmo you $20. No bet payout needed on my side. Only thing you have to do to seal the deal is to agree to come back to the board when UVA loses and post “I was wrong, UVA can’t win a National Championship!”

That wouldn't make much sense.

It's obviously illogical to state that "UVA can't win a national championship."

If they were put out in this year's tournament, the reality would be that they "didn't win a national championship."

 

[ncaafan]

Lol

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

What are you talking about? UVA is not the favorite.

I don’t think UVA can win a National Championship.

I don’t think UVA can win a National Championship.

I understand that's your opinion. But if that applies to future seasons as well, I'd suggest it's not an opinion based on reason.

Lol. In the 80 year history of the NCAA UVA hasn’t even made a championship game. I’ll amend the bet to pay Skurey $20 on the day UVA wins one, if he agrees to come back every single year after they lose or don’t make the tourney and post “I was wrong, UVA can’t win a National Championship!”

I’d argue it is...

They can’t seem to make a Final 4 and you’ve got to crawl before you can walk.

 

[ncaafan]

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

Except you lose if any other team wins in your bet, you lose in the proposed bet only if UVA wins.

The very same argument was made against SU for the first 11 years of JB's career as pertains to a Final Four, and for the first 26 as to a NC.

Some of you should know better.

Here’s how this will play out. UVA will lose before the Final Four again this year. Bennett will go to UCLA. UVA will sink back into ACC abyss and wait for another 35 year before they become relevant again.

 

[jncuse]

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

You can but in this you are betting 1:1, but with a 70%+ chance that you will get your money back.

If you bet on that team in Vegas you are not getting your initial bet back either.

I think it's an interesting bet.

I'll give u 5 to 1 on $20 that UVA will not win a title this year.

Wow, you obviously have some deep-seated hate for UVA, and I've no idea why.

But I can respect that. Some of us feel that way about UConn, Georgetown, etc.

Hate on!!

I don’t hate them. I just don’t believe they are built to win a National Championship.

I’m still waiting for Skurey’s acceptance of my bet.

Unlikely, even if Bennett bolted to UCLA, which I don't think he will. UVA is in a major P5 conference, with top notch academics, great facilities, plenty of $$$ and a flat out gorgeous campus. The sleeping dog has awakened, and it isn't going back to sleep any time soon.

Booked. Good luck.

Worst thread ever.

I'll take odds on UVA making a stronger run in the tournament than we do.

Winning the title? We're told that's not the be all and end all.

After all, our HOF coach has done it 2.3% of the time.

 

[Alsacs]

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.

Purdue at 30-1 is good value as well.
They will be a 2 or 3 seed and I am like them getting atleast to an Elite 8.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

Booked. Good luck.

Accepted. This will be fun. I’m hoping it becomes an annual post.

Best of luck!

Worst thread ever.

It wasn't until u showed up. lol I'm sure you could find numerous threads on the OT board that would make this one look like a picnic in the park. And with your fingerprints all over them.

Really going out on a limb there with that first sentence. Profiles in Courage.

Just curious, what is the best way to be "built" for a championship.

No, I looked it up. It’s this one.

 

[upperdeck]

I dont UV has any chance to win.. even last night. had they just shot a great first half instead of super great they are trailing by 10-12.

in the 2nd half had we made any shots we are still leading under 10, from then we pressed and it snowballed. down hill.

They play solid D, since the body and hand checks go uncalled, but they have no inside game and one team will make them pay for that.
