Why don't y'all just play the new $5 FPDW at Palms?
YA, but they cut down the points already.Quote: RSQuote: RomesNo new entries that I know of, or have been messaged about... So final team standing:

Quote: RomesMike, I hope you don't mind discussing in the open thread, but perhaps the transparency will keep everyone in the loop... What's the plan for the next good week? Are you going to try yourself to get the bets in, or would you need help no matter what? And if that's the case, Axel could you and/or other locals assist in getting them in?
I will be around this weekend and will wait to see what the card looks like before deciding if I'll bet.
Quote: WizardofnothingJust curious- why are you guys donating a share to some nameless charity
Because someone suggested the stupid idea and it got support.
If something comes up and you need help let me know.Quote: WizardI will be around this weekend and will wait to see what the card looks like before deciding if I'll bet.
I'm more referring to the situation where let's pretend it IS a good weekend. Are you going to be able to get any of your own bets in AS WELL as all of the team bets, or will you need more people no matter what?Quote: WizardI will be around this weekend and will wait to see what the card looks like before deciding if I'll bet.
Or we use Mike or Romes 5 best picks, put some 4 team parlays together and run with it.
I haven't heard back from Mike if he's going to need help getting the action in no matter what or if he can get the action in, pending if it's a good week...
He probably wanted to see the card first, it probably just came out.Quote: RomesGotta have at least one big team parlay in there too =P.
I haven't heard back from Mike if he's going to need help getting the action in no matter what or if he can get the action in, pending if it's a good week...
I can forward it to you if you want to post it up. But my suggestion is not to publicly post what bets everyone is making until everyone gets their bets in.

Make it happen romes!
Quote: GWAEEeks Pit is a high pick. I bet they lose by 20. But then again I suck at picking games so maybe that makes it a lock.
The Rams/Giants game is in London, so the start time is super early on Sunday morning in LV.
Quote: beachbumbabsSo, guys, are we doing this this weekend?
What's the status? Thx

All I can say is that I was never asked to put in any cards.

Quote: mrsuit31I think this was his attempt to coordinate...
But when there is no response then a pm obviously needs sent. How does someone take charge on an idea like this then completely f it up. Especially after last week where we all got screwed out of nearly a grand.

I obviously can't be aware of any PMs sent back and forth between them...
That said, I won't speak for Romes. I'll let him respond to your post.
Quote: WizardofnothingHow is there just no communication on this- I'm just observing and glad I don't have any skin in this game
Yeah seriously. It's not like we are talking $15 at stake here. As we saw last week we are talking thousands.
Completely did... the picks would not have won, and to boot let's remember that my job is apparently to play secretary from the MidWest and get these picks/bets in at Vegas sports books.Quote: GWAEPicks are not looking very good this week. Lets hope Romes dropped the ball again.
I've been trying to line up the "bettors" since early last week, for when we do have a good week to bet, with very limited responses.
I never suggested... I was nominated, and I'm attempting to appease the crowd.Quote: WizardofnothingSeems like a mess for you to suggest organizing it if you were in the Midwest - maybe you should hand it off to someone else or just mail everyone their money if it's easier
Realistically, we missed our golden week, two weeks ago. No matter what, we realistically aren't getting another one of those. Lets just get this over with...
Thanks, and that's kinda what I was going for (putting the bets in myself while I was in town). We just unfortunately had a poor week for the bets and everyone opted to do another week, which then involved me not being in town to be able to place bets.Quote: mrsuit31For what it's worth... This is exactly why we should have placed the bets when Romes was in town, as was the original plan as proposed by Romes. Those bets were vetoed by a number of people, so again this can not be blamed on Romes independently.
I'll again leave this up to the masses. Do we want to just put in bets no matter what? Or at this point since we're waiting... Shall we await another 'good' week? Keeping in mind that could be this week, or 3 weeks more down the road? Everyone is getting a bit ancy, so I'm fine with just placing bets. Then again though, if we really want to give ourselves an edge, this is the patients and discipline it takes to get that edge... 50/50. Let me know your thoughts.Quote: mrsuit31I think, as a result of the hostility from the last few weeks from some, we need to do these this week. I think Romes and Mike should start coordinating now to get them in...

Mike or Axel, Are you available this weekend to help Romes get the bets in. PM if need be...
It's like a modern day 3 stooges sketch..... punch line will be you miss every winning week and then get them on for a $4.28 return. Looking forward to seeing the resolution some point in 2017. On the edge of my seat here....
First of all I blame Rome for anything and everything bad that happens in the world. If I even stub my toe I blame and curse Romes. So ya, it's definitely his fault for sure. (-;Quote: mrsuit31Mike or Axel, Are you available this weekend to help Romes get the bets in. PM if need be...
I have tentitive plans to go out of town as I have been doing so a lot lately. But, I can try to set something up if Mike can't do it for some reason. I did say if Mike camt do it somome let me know and I would see if I could set something up, but I was very much under the impression that Mike was going to pull the trigger last weekend, so I put it out of my head. I forget that Mike is very ...I can't think of a good word for it(its not a bad thing) but he's not going to make any wagers or bets or do anything until there's a clear understanding and plan to do so.
I guess we should have known this was not going to happen since he didn't respond on the forum and let us know that it was on, we should have known it wasn't. I was kinda thinking Mike and Romes were in private communication especially after what happen the week before. There seems to be some confusion due to lack of communication.
FYI It's getting harder and harder to get the bests in. They are getting jumpy and making a bunch of changes (I won't go into all the details publicly)
Let me quote someone "this sh*ts impossible"
Anyways let's take a breath here and reset.
Is anyone here really in that big of a rush?
Since this is a long post I will make make a new post with some suggestions.
Don't be an _ _ _. That's kinda rude.Quote: HeyMrDJExcellent organization in this thread guys. Well played.

And that's great but as with the weekend that Romes was supposed to do it there were not that many good options. I think many people were on board with waiting for a good week. So there might not be an opportunity.Quote: wudgedI mentioned before I will be in town this weekend, so I would be able to put some cards in.
I think this is part of the problem. For better or worse, I believe the masses chose you, Romes. So, I say stop trying to herd us cats here and just pull the trigger on whatever you think best.Quote: RomesI'll again leave this up to the masses.
And then let us know when to stop by with the Brinks' truck! ;)
BTW, win or lose Romes, thanks for taking the point here! I appreciate you stepping up to organize the parlay our Co-op winnings.
Quote: JoemanBTW, win or lose Romes, thanks for taking the point here! I appreciate you stepping up to organize the parlay our Co-op winnings.
Ditto! I'm happy for whatever happens and thank you for the effort. No bitching here!
Quote: PlayYourCardsRightDitto! I'm happy for whatever happens and thank you for the effort. No bitching here!
Appreciate the comments, guys. I was thinking about doing that this week, but being a bit under the weather I'd rather not make terrible decisions =p. So we wait for next week. If we have a good week, I'm going to message off to everyone I can about getting the bets in... Even if it's 5 different people placing 1 bet each.Quote: Joeman...BTW, win or lose Romes, thanks for taking the point here! I appreciate you stepping up to organize the parlay our Co-op winnings.
Perhaps people thought I was joking before. But I will say it again, and I'm not Joking. If Romes will agree (How much Is the Bankroll again? )I said I would be willing to invest the BR while waiting for a good week.Quote: mrsuit31Mike or Axel, Are you available this weekend to help Romes get the bets in. PM if need be...
I can invest the money in a few local high +EV plays.
I would need about a week or so, but I don't want a deadline because I have other stuff and it takes some effort. I wouldn't normally do it because the work involved, but for the forum team I would do it for fun.
I'm fairly confident I can add 25% to 90% to the bankroll. I'm 99.99 % sure I won't have less money when I'm done( the casino would have to FK me). I'm very very confident I will have more, especially with the stuff I would be playing.
I briefly discussed this with Romes when he was In town. He said, FK you Axel this is my gig J/k
But seriously, he was concerned that I wouldn't give details on everything I was doing or playing, and he's right, however I would give some details, but I am not going to say, I'm playing and such promo, at this location, and this is exactly what and how I did it). So he was concerned everyone wouldn't get to enjoy sweating the action and everyone might not agree.
Examples of something I might play play $50 get $50.
Perhaps a loss rebate.
A few match plays betting both sides of something.
However, if Axel is willing to put a 99.99% guarantee on it, I'd like to see what others think. Even if it is black box, perhaps it would appease most of you to know our bankroll is growing during the off-week of non bets? Axel is willing to do this for fun for the team, I'd assume once (with whatever he's doing), so it's not something we're looking to do over and over and have him build it up for us. Not fair to have him do all that work for us, but if he's gonna volunteer a little bit for fun, then that's interesting.
I also don't want to complicate the issue more by taking this team/etc different directions, which is another reason I ultimately decided not to throw our funds at some other high +EV opportunities. Who knows, maybe I should have just doubled the BR myself on some high +EV plays while I was in town and just ex-post informed you guys =P.
In the spirit of discussion during our slow week, what are some other thoughts?
Often times the really juicy high confidant things are limited to one per person, week, month or whatever or I would just sit and do it all day long myself and that's exactly what I do do if such things comes up. Anything else would be higher risk and variance so I wouldn't even suggest that for other's.Quote: RomesI did discuss this with Axel when we met up when I was in Vegas. I thought it a bit "black box" for the team if I were to say "okay" then that .01% chance happened and we lost the team funds before even getting to bet it on the parlay cards.

In the spirit of discussion during our slow week, what are some other thoughts?
It takes some time effort to do what I'm suggesting. It might take A few hours a day(perhaps 3 with driving and whatnot) over 3 or 4 days to make a few hundred dollar's. So ya I wouldn't want to keep it up for too long.
My goal would be to do 3 or 4 different things and add something to the BR and then be done.
Who mentioned they were coming in to town? Perhaps they could even help me. If they can send me a PM I have a few questions.
I wouldn't be doing it on the weekend I don't know if I will even be in town. I'll be back in town this evening.Quote: GWAEI think we should just keep the focus on the parlay bets. What if axel is playing the money on something on a Friday and it is a good week. Now we are in that position again where we can't get the cards in. Let's just get this done and be done with it. We don't need our 250 turned into 400. If we would have gotten the bets in when we should have we would each have nearly 1k. 250 is plenty to turn into something good.
I would probably start on Tuesday and be done by Friday. I don't think I would actually need to get the bankroll In hand, I think I can muster up a few hundred bucks. I don't think I would actually have to hand the money back to Mike (assuming he will put in the bets). I think he can muster up a few hundred as well. I just need to know the amount of BR and then I would let Romes, Mike and the forum know. And again if we want to get the parlays in and my help is needed I need to know ASAP so I can see who can help. Then set something up where Mike can tell them to bet the following number of teams for x amount on this card and so on. I already mentioned a few other people who I think would be willing to help.

I will second third and fourth that statement. That's what I have been saying since the beginning. Make a decision and make someone put them in, period.
