If Phillip Rivers is available when the Bills draft in the first round, either at #13 or in a trade down, I will pay you 10-1 odds on your bet amount IF the Bills select him.

If he is not selected by the Bills either at #13 or in a trade down (if they have a chance at him), then I get the money that you bet. :D

(There is a maximum bet of 5,000 Zonebucks per person and up to 3 people can take part of this)

I'm pretty certain that Rivers will be available at the 13th overall pick, but if the Bills truly want him, most likely they would rather trade down a few slots and pick him up then.

I don't think Rivers is going until the 18th - 22nd picks materialize.

Tatonka
03-29-2004, 12:14 PM
and the bet is null and void if the bills trade down?

i thought you said (before you erased this whole thread).. that if he was picked by the bills period, we get paid..

Tatonka
03-29-2004, 12:15 PM
mikey.. if you want to do the bet you are proposing.. you need to make it 20-1 or 25-1 odds..

if you want to bet that rivers will be selected by the bills at any time in the draft.. or NOT selected any time in the draft then 10-1 is acceptable.. and the only null and void of the bet would be if he is picked ahead of the bills in the first round.

that is a 10-1 bet.

stop trying to screw people. :mad:

I'm going by your original bet. I copied it word for word. If it happens and all 5 people bet 5,000....that's 150,000 Zonebucks. My whole account and you each would get 50,000. It's a good bet for you guys.

Mikey, I will bet the 5000 ZB's. If I win, you give me 50,000 right? I will take that bet. As long as the stipulations don't change and it is only if he is available at the #13 pick.

Worst Bookie Ever.......


Mikey- If you pay out 10-1 on 5 bets of 5 grand each, you are going to have to cover $250,000 in bets- not $150,000



If that's the case- I'm in for 5 grand...:snicker:

that is not my conditions.. i said if they select him in a trade down as well.. i didnt say first or second round.. you probably dont have anything to worry about, as far as him making it to the second round.. but if he does.. and the bills pick him.. i am getting paid.
