I think it will be Denver in the AFC and Seattle in the NFC.

But then again, this is the NFL... Anything can happen.

I'll take the Niners & Ravens, you take 2 other teams to make it to the SB next year. If your teams go, I'll use a pre-approved picture of your choice as an avatar for 1 year (just make sure I clear it first; nothing lewd). If neither of us get it right, the bet is void. If I get it right, you have to use this picture as an avatar for 1 year



I think the quotation marks were pretty clear, but the numbers we produced are still right.

You are saying the Ravens and 49ers will repeat as SB teams. I am saying they will not. You want me to pick the 2 teams? Now you are admitting it is a crapshoot.
Make the bet or STFU. You are willing to say the repeat will happen, I CONTINUE to say it will not.

Set the bet, but set it according to the crap you are slinging!

There's no chance that the Ravens make it to the Superbowl this season. I doubt they will even make the playoffs! 9-7 at best!

Are you even paying attention??? I just got done showing you that, historically, there's a 96.59% chance I'm going to be wrong and that there's a 98.85% chance you would be wrong if you're picking playoff teams at randumb. My entire point was that MY EXTREMELY UNLIKELY PICK IS MORE LIKELY THAN THE RANDOM PICKING YOU CLAIMED WOULD BE MORE LIKEY. In ogher words: 3.41% > 1.15%.

People don't bet a dollar to win a dollar when the odds are 28.33 to 1. They bet a dollar to win 28.33 dollars. Why would I bet the same outcome with those odds when I never even said it was likely to happen?

You can do the classy thing and admit you were wrong about saying a randumb pick would be more likely, or you could double down and take the bet that has a 95.48% chance of having no outcome anyway. It's not like it's a big risk to either one of us. So put your money where your mouth is or just concede defeat in this pissing contest.

............The Niners & Ravens have amazing pass-rushes IMO, and that's the biggest reason I'm predicting a rematch of the Harbowl in February.

That's what you said........

............ No offense but that would be a really stupid bet, regardless of the teams involved.
IMHO

That is what I said......

I could pick 2 teams but I think that is a bad bet, so why would I? You are picking the repeat, bet it if you want but don't try to get me to use your logic. Re-reading your posts, I really don't disagree much with anything you are saying, except the repeat. Therefore your bet should be the repeat happens and mine would be that the repeat does not happen.

If you want to make a counter-offer, I would consider it, but not in the context of this post. Accepting it in the context of this post would mean that I had allowed you to manipulate this from being a disagreement about repeating to a discussion of which 2 teams will play.

So basically your point was (not what you said but the equivalent thereof) is that anyone who ever makes a prediction as to who will be in the Super Bowl is making a "stupid" prediction. Don't take relative likelihood into consideration; it's always "stupid." Ok. Very edgy stance you're taking there.

How have you survived this long living life on the edge like you do? I mean how has that limb on which you went out not broken yet? I offer a bet where both of us have less than a 4% chance of being right, and you counter with a bet that has you having a 96.59% chance of being right. In other words: I get one combination and you're taking the field. Those is some big ole' brass ones ya got there.

Ok, since you are 28.33 times more likely to win than I, how 'bout I offer to use an avatar of your choice (something pre-approved) for 13 days (I rounded up) if I lose, and if I win you use the avatar I created for 1 year. Your odds of winning are 96.41% (historically), but if you lose you lose big. There's the counter. Heck, let's make it an even 2 weeks (14 days). What say you?

Sounds like we understand each other.

Actually, making a stupid bet can be fun, as long as you know it is a stupid bet and you are making it for fun or whatever.

Avatar bets seem to be the rage here on SportsHoopla. I don't have an avatar, I might have to do some research before I would even know what to put up - or what to have you put up. I might counter your offer with a counter that would be a more equal bet.

I'll be here waiting with a choreographed rivalry dance ready to go in pure West Side Story fashion.

By the way, I'm assuming by "more equal" you mean odds that heavily favour you. :fencing:

No, actually, I'm thinking I would rather have odds that are favorable to both of us.

I wonder if any of you have changed your minds about your projected Superbowl teams?
