Handicapping the top-50: on the record with your prediction

[rookBoston]

Here's a little draft game that I've designed for our mutual amusement. I've set odds around players that the Patriots might draft in the top-50.

- Everyone has an imaginary $100 to place against any proposition listed.
- Post your reply: how do you split your money?
- After the draft, I'll do the math, and announce the winner.

Nice idea.

As they say in my country, "in for a penny, in for a pound". I'm all in with this one:

The Patriots draft a player on offense in the top-50. Pays 6 to 1

$100 on this one.

 

[Sciz]

I'll go for it. $100 on Kendall Wright, with a chance to win $9000

 

[mtbpats]

30.61 on Donta Hightower
30.61 on Janoris Jenkins
20.41 on Kendall Wright
18.36 on Reuben Randall

for $1836 for each correct.

$20.00 Janoris jenkins 60-1
$20.00 Alameda Ta'amu 50-1
$20.00 Whitney Mercilus 35-1
$20.00 Patriots draft a player in the top-50 who is not listed, above. 5-2
$20.00 Patriots draft a player on offense in the top-50. 6-1

 

[Patriot Missile]

There should be a 100-1 for Pats drafting a OLB in the first.

 

[manxman2601]

There should be a 100-1 for Pats drafting a OLB in the first.

Haha. Never going to happen.

1000-1 - Patsfans board will be unanimously happy with the draft.

5000-1 - There will no Patriots trade on draft day.

10,000-1 - Patriots will use their 2013 1st rounder to move up in this draft.

 

[miltonpatriot]

Reuben Randle - $40.
Donta Hightower - $40.
Andre Branch - $20.

Great idea.

 

[Patriot Missile]

10,000-1 - Patriots will use their 2013 1st rounder to move up in this draft.

$20- The Patriots draft a DE or OLB in the top-50.
$20- The Patriots draft a DB in the top-50.

Me neither...

Once in awhile I'll hit but I never make big enough bets to make it worth while. Just go out there with the boys, drink some beers, yell at the horses and have fun.
