BadaBing Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Yes , The L.A. Lakers over the New Jersey Nets , although the point spread per game may not be covered by the Lakers , as for the series winner , this should be a breeze for the Lakers.

Ranger Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Hansum man, I have a few "sure things" for you. Mike Tyson over Buster Douglass in Tokyo-1990 USSR over USA in Olympic hockey-1980 University of Houston over NC State in the NCAA Basketball final-1983 St Louis Rams over New England Patriots in the Super Bowl-2002 Italy over North Korea in World Cup soccer-1966 I'm sure there are lots more examples of huge underdogs that won, but the point is eventually one of your "sure things" will lose and it will cost you dearly and wipe out all the small profits that you have been accumulating and maybe then some.

BadaBing Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 " During the World Cup ? " OK Sarasin , reading your previous posts , I think you are from New Jersey ( or that area) , your thoughts on the Net's chances are required , also , did you know what a World Cup was before you lived in Thailand ?

SiLeakHunt Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 One 100% cert is that next time I go to Bangkok I'll have had 25 bottles of Carlsberg by midnight, will find it impossible to walk in a straight line and won't know the name of the bird who's in bed with me in the morning. Not sure of the sort of odds you'll get though. Cheers up the Latics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadaBing Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Good points , but aside from the Tyson / Douglass fight , the others involved " point spreads " , I would say that a number of " sure things " also involve taking the underdogs.

" i agree completely - that is why it is exciting! hence enjoyable from your list - i would say that certainly i might have been willing to bet on the tyson match only and would've consequently suffered in fact my only real set-back was the time i bet heavily on Gore to beat bush in the last US election - luckily i managed to limit the losses as the exit poll results started to filter through and bet heavily on Bush - still lost overall on that one even so but by betting on accumulators and being careful i've been ok and like i mention - bet within my limits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 thanks for the tip jp, i've backed the red wings with a few accumulators - Lakers too (also put £1 on Saudi arabia to win the world cup at 10,000/1 with bet365.com just for fun) any other tips?

Steve Posted June 6, 2002 Report Share Posted June 6, 2002 Lakers looked bored at how easy it was to win tonight Hansum_man. I hope you chose them to win the series. 5 games at the most. Probably 4 straight in this best of 7 series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
