September 8, 200421 yr 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.

October 4, 200421 yr I wish I was a bookie with you guys around 180 bets -- 20 push -- I pay out on 62 -- That leaves 98 bets that I get to pocket... 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.
October 4, 200421 yr 56789 - 9 Dan - 8 DBAHO - 8 Cheat, your calculations must be wrong, DBAHO didn't win.
October 4, 200421 yr Cheat, your calculations must be wrong, DBAHO didn't win. I know, I demand a recount.
