hockey bet?

[ij1889]

does anyone wanna be some money on hockey??? i was thinking everyone that plays could chip in like 5 bucks, and we each pick a team, first come first choice, whos ever team they picked wins the stanley cup gets the jackpot. anybody intrested in this, if so i am my redwings. if everyone picks a team there is a chance of a $80 dollar jack pot, pretty nice imo

[ij1889]

teams to choose from are:

minnesota wild
boston bruins
montreal canadiens
ottowa senators
pittsburg penguins
philadelphia flyers
washington capitals
new york rangers
new jersey devils
nashville predators
calgary flames
san jose sharks
colorado avalanche
dallas stars
anaheim ducks

[JustROLLIN]

I know virtually nothing about the teams in the chase. I know I like to watch the Wild on TV and thats about it. I also have heard they have virtually no chance of winning the whole thing, so its like $5 down the tubes.

[ij1889]

see thats the beauty of it, its only 5 bucks, not to much, and if you get lucky you could walk away with a 75 dollar profit

[ij1889]

besides it make watching hockey a shitload more fun

[ij1889]

come one, not even one soul wants to join???

[Young Roids]

not me. I'm not really into hockey so much.

[ij1889]

so does anyone want to join the bet? i see wild and flames fans out there

[Workdawg]

I like to watch the Wild games, but I don't follow the teams well enough to make an informed choice, and I want to throw away 5$.

[ZoomZoom Diva]

I don't bet, as it doesn't make watching anything more enjoyable for me.

[ij1889]

whatever happend to minnesota being the hockey state??? no wonder the north stars went to dallas, the wild will prob move to mexico soon

[ZoomZoom Diva]

What does betting have anything to do with Minnesota being into Hockey or whether you are a fan of the Wild or any other team?

[ij1889]

well i thought people paid a little more attention to hockey up here, but so far texas has more hockey than what ive seen

[Picklz]

We don't have any issues filling seats at the games - I'd say we are pretty into it. Just beceause we dont want to bet on a game doesn't mean we dont follow our team or enjoy watching it.

Besides this is illegal.

[Slim]

Besides this is illegal.

Exactly. You're organizing and posting this online...

And if you want to know why MN is the state of hockey watch the high school hockey tournament. Then, watch the tournament in any other state in the country.

[Workdawg]

Not to mention the fact the the UoM, MSU: Mankato and MSU: Duluth ALL have excellent college hockey teams.

so does anyone want to join the bet? i see wild and flames fans out there

I'll do $5 per series? start out with the series that are tied? I'll take calgary and minnesota? 7th and 3rd ranked...you'd get the sharks/avs, then next round or if any teams tie up this round this would continue...get a running total through the playoffs. up to you? pay up at dyno day may 17th.

BETS ARE UP: $5 bucks per series...will continue throughout the playoffs.

laserblue has $5 on WILD, FLAMES, AND PREDITORS

IJ1889 has $5 on AVES, SHARKS, AND RED WINGS

[LASERBLUE135]

So I'm in the hole to IJ1889 $10 because of the lame Wild and those pesky Red Wings, but the Flames won last nigh! forcing game 7 and hopefully putting $5 back in my pocket.

[ij1889]

"$15 bucks little man, put that shit in my hands, if that money doesnt show than you owe me, owe, owe owe, my jungle love oy oy oy i think i wanna know ya"

anyone know what movie thats from???

PS time to pick round 2,

[LASERBLUE135]

OK, so you got $15 and the Wings in round 2. I'll take the Canadians with my pick....You choose next.

[Workdawg]

That's from one of the Jay and Silent bob movies.

[ij1889]

im sticking with the sharkies

[LASERBLUE135]

OK, so I got the Penguins.

I've got Pens, Avs, Stars, and Canadians

you got Rangers, Wings, Sharks, and Flyers

[ij1889]

alright looks good

[LASERBLUE135]

OK so 2nd round was even 2 series to 2. - So I'm still down $15...

semi finals: me: Flyers and Stars
ij1889: Penguins and Detroit's foreign all stars

[WhiteSpy9]

Penguins FTW!

[LASERBLUE135]

OK, so that was pathetic 3rd round. I'm now down 25 bucks. I've got Penguins and Malkin/Crosby in the Cup final. Go Pens!!!

[WhiteSpy9]

Thats what I'm talking about! The Pen's line up is nasty, that last game was ridiculous 6-0 shutout!


OK, so that was pathetic 3rd round. I'm now down 25 bucks. I've got Penguins and Malkin/Crosby in the Cup final. Go Pens!!!

[ij1889]

pshhhh, please, a bunch of rooks, na, the red wings line is deep, lidstrom, chelios are the leaders of the deffense bringing up the hard hitter nickals kronwall, datsuk and zetterburg are some of the best there is in the game today, no one gets in the golies face like holmston does, and my fav line up is..... drape, maltby, and mccarty, these guys have been playing together since the 97 season if i am correct, heavy hitters. and now the young guns... THE MULE, franzen raped the avalanche WITH NO LUB, hes a bad motherfucker, and hudler, guy has got speed and talent. it should be a great match up.... but why dont we make this more intresting, win big or loose big, 50 bucks for who ever wins the cup, i loose, i owe you 25, i win you owe me 75... what do you think or should we make it 25, you win were even, i win, 50 in my pocket. i leave it up to ya.

[LASERBLUE135]

I'll do double or nothin'. Sid the Kid wins its nothing, foriegn all stars win, its $50 bucks for you.

[ij1889]

alright sounds good with me

[LASERBLUE135]

They still have LIFE! what a game!

[WhiteSpy9]

That second goal for Pittsburgh by Cromwell..... complete fail for the red wings!!

[ij1889]
