Oh wow, crazy! I had a peek at last year's results and I guess I was giving out 20 points per win for the series and another 20 for the number of games! That's intense....

And 10 points per individual game win! Sick!

Smack had this cool idea about wagering your own points for the finals! I think we should try it just for the first game of the finals and see how that goes...

I like the idea of wagering your own points for the finals. A lot of strategy with that one ... as long as you lose those points if your team loses the game.

yeah the whole idea of betting your points is just that. you bet them you win you get said points back, you pick the wrong team your out those points. gives the leader a good edge but even someone at the bottom has a shot.

so whats calling the series worth and correct games?
if a wager is made with correct score what will it be worth? ethier say 1.5 the bet or a set rate for score sound like they would work.

lets get this figured out

I don't have much confidence in this pick. I just think Pitt will lose one.

As much as I like Philli, Crosby's ****ing & whining might be too much for the refs to handle.

Refs??

I don't know, I think young Crosby has gotten the drift that people are sick of his tactics.
I have noticed a change for the better in him.

philly should try to shoot the puck! down 2-0 in a series and they manage 8 shots in two periods? Wow ... that's a great pittsburgh defence

Anyway ... I daid Detroit in 5 so I guess I have to pick Dallas to win tomorrow.
3-2 final

A big Giant F-U to Pittsburgh for getting one more goal than they should have. On the bright side, my prediction for that series is one game closer to reality. All I need is for Dallas to win a game and i'm right back in the mix. This is starting to smell a lot like last year, although there is a lot more competition than just chief.

Dallas 5 Detroit 2. Detroit gets their first real ass beating of the playoffs and it totally wakes them up.

Pitt 4 Philly 1

Too bad we didn't cash in on the bonus as the score at the end of the 1st was 2-1 Pitt.

Damn, just shy of the score again too!

Only 4 of us cashed in tonight: riot, sunshine, passion/song & korrosive at 1 point apiece. Everyone else had some kind of confidence in Philly for some strange reason.

Posted: 5/13/2008 9:50:47 PM
Det/Dal

Predictions before 2pm MST (4pm EST) as always please...

BONUS: An extra 5 points will be awarded if the cumulative score is over 5 provided you guess correctly which team wins.

My pick:

Det will finish it off - as I was the only one to pick Det in 4 - and Dallas is out of steam and needs to go golfing...

Det 4 Dal 2

Finals!!!!
Posted: 5/13/2008 10:08:13 PM
OK, here's my thought for the finals - all or nothing!

20 points for the correct team to win and an extra 20 for correct number of games.

For individual games, you can bet your own points (no limit). However, if you lose the game, you lose the points. Points will be added to your current totals (or subtracted) so it will be like season 2 where all 4 rounds counted, not like season 1 where the playoffs were a separate go-round.

You can bet what you have in the bank (which is great for those who have been doing well so far). If you pick the correct team to win, you win your wager. If you also get the score correct, you will get in addition, half your wager. For example, if I bet 20 points and win, I'll get 20 plus 10 if I also get the score correct. Because of this, I ask that you all make your wagers in even numbers please to make my life easier. If for whatever reason you post an odd number wager it will get rounded down. If you don't post a wager, I will assume you are guessing for fun. So your post should look like, and this is purely an example:

Det 4 Pitt 2 (wager=10)

If Det wins, you get 10 points. If you get the score correct also, you will get 15 points. If Pitt wins, you lose 10 points. If you have no more points left in the bank, you are out of the competition so wager carefully.

There will also be bonus points to make life even more interesting!

It's still anybody's game folks!
