| Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 14, 2009 Threads: 256 Posts: 5776 | This is yet another near worthless Wizard of Vegas contest. The object it to specify the winning and losing teams in the 2011 Super Bowl. In the event two or more people pick the same outcome, then I will have to ask those in contention to specify a specific margin of victory before the game, the closest person to win. In the event nobody wins, but somebody picked the right two teams, but incorrectly predicted which team would win, then he shall win the contest. The prize shall be something like a copy of my book, Wizard of Odds polo shirt, and a free lunch with yours truly. I'm flexible about substitutions if you already have, or don't want, any of the prizes. It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet. |

Yes. It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet. |

| DJTeddyBear Member since: Nov 2, 2009 Threads: 92 Posts: 4929 | I enjoy watching a good game, but that's about it. I tend to watch the Superbowl more for the commercials than for the game. I am SUCH a non-sports fan, that I don't even know which teams are in which conference. The only two teams I can think of that I know are in different conferences would be my local teams. Therefore, as stupid as it sounds... Jets lose to the Giants. Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown.
But how much does it cost to knock on wood? |

| Doc Member since: Feb 27, 2010 Threads: 17 Posts: 1989 | OK, Wizard. It's time to find a way to lock in posts and make certain no one can edit their bets. I have admitted that I know nothing about professional football, so now I will reveal my strategy for this contest. This thread derives from Nareed's "One lousy bet" thread where he named what he said were the four most-likely teams. I checked the NFL web site and found that three of the four are in the AFC. I picked one of those three at random over the one from the NFC. How stupid is that for someone with no knowledge of the teams? |
