Gene Honda Civic Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Just a way to spice up the end of the season -- I'm going to list a whole bunch of different "odd" bets sorta like the YNOT's. Example: which will finish the season higher? Ichiro's BA or the Mariners winning % I'll put a collection of about 10 or so of these prop bets up by the end of the night. Reply to enter. Entries due by Thursday(I may include some football stuff). Winner recieves and original The Cheat sig. I should have the questions up before I go to bed.

Funny how you make fun of us yet didn't make predictions yourself. Besides, as you know, we wouldn't have taken half those bets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
