Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Thanks for the heads up Matt.

Guys, I told Tony last night, because no one had responded yet, that his puts and takes were good to go. He is heading to drop the package off now, and then leaving town on a flight this morning and won't be back until Sunday evening.

He wanted to be proactive and get the pass into the mail for the next person, so when I looked at it, I thought it looked good...so that being said, I'll take the MOW puro (one of his extra sticks) when the pass comes to me and replace it with a different stick. But the rest looks good to me if it's cool with everyone else.

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I think that he met our criteria with the other 2 extras Cole. You shouldn't have to replace the MOW with a premium. Perhaps you should just nab it when the box gets to you as a bonus for running the league.

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

:tu Thanks Mark. Just wanted to make sure everything was good being that Tony wanted to keep the pass moving, and I gave him the go ahead.

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I agree with Mark 100%. Just pull it and do what you do. It certainly doesn't need to be replaced.

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Agreed, the other two extras were more than enough.

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Even when I try to favor myself in a bet...it seems I still have a chance to lose! :r :r Prior to week 3, the NFC had 35 int's thrown, AFC had 25.

Here is where the bet stands before tonight's game between Denver and Oakland (both AFC teams):
-NFC teams have thrown 16 int's this week...no games left
-AFC teams have thrown 14 int's this week...2 teams play tonight

So I need this game to have 1 total int or less for me to finally win a legit bet against you!!! I'm pretty sure I'll be paying up yet again :gary

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Huh...I bet everyone and won. Let's roll that bet for another week...somebody beat me this time! :D

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Yeah I was looking at it, and I was like...well...that was a sh!tty way to support the troops Matt, bet everyone and win! lol :r

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

HAHAHAHAHA I WIN!!!!!

This is the best day of my life! No interceptions thrown last night! Ha the past is history, you suck Shilala, you can't beat me!! I am 1-0 against Scott (again, all other past is history)! :gary :sl

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Matt, check this...

Here is what I have for current Troops Sticks balances based on what was sent in and what has been bet so far:

Shilala, balance of 95 sticks (after entry had 125 sticks for betting)
Chaase321, owes 9 sticks (after entry had 6 sticks for betting)
Sofaman, balance of 24 sticks (after entry had 24 sticks for betting)
Mattso3000, balance of 59 sticks (after entry and prior year bal had 69 sticks for betting)
mkarnold1, owes 1 stick (after entry had 14 sticks for betting)
malakai, balance of 35 sticks (after entry had 35 sticks for betting)
Tjarv, balance of 21 sticks (after entry had 21 sticks for betting)
Beeradvocate, balance of 2 sticks (after entry had 2 sticks for betting)
Coach_Deg, owes 20 sticks (also owes 6 entry)
JenksAnejo, balance of 0 sticks (also owes 6 entry)

So based on me taking out the required 6 entry troop sticks from what everyone sent in, their original betting balance is in " ( ) " and based on what I have been following from the bets in the thread, these should be the betting balances left. Just so everyone knows where they stand! :D

by the way....get to betting people!!! Scott is always up for a bet, and as you can see...Goliath can be taken down by David! :r I don't want to send anyone sticks back, so get through your betting balances...and preferably, bet more so you can send me more! We need to make this a record year, and get to like 600 sticks for the troops! :D :tu

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Scott how about we put 5 on our best QB/WR combo, only counting our starting rosters

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Congratulations, Cole!!! :tu
Tony, you're on.
Anybody else wants a bet, I'm your huckleberry.

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Hey Mark, wanna do a 5'er on our toilet bowl matchup?

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Got the pass today guys. Pics tomorrow!

Put me down for an extra 20 troop sticks to catch up a little bit. :tu

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Scott, want to do a two team draft for 10 troop sticks? I'll give you first pick of the other 10 teams then I'll pick two serpentine style with you getting the last pick. High combined score from the two teams picked wins.

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

You're on Cole. I might have a QB break 10 this week. Look out!

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

This seems right up Scott's alley! :noon Sucks for whoever gets Mark's or my team! :r

Sweet! I am going to start the new rookie QB for TB, so I'm obviously looking for huge points out of my QB! (*read, scraping the bottom of the barrel!)

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Certainly.
I'll pick Travis (stabbingcacti) first.

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I'll take Sofaman and TDs and Beer.

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I'll take TJarv and chaase

Scott: Stabbingcactii, Tjarv, chaase
Matt: Sofaman, TDsandbeer

I think I only get one pick here, if it's gonna work out so I get last pick. So I'll still take Tjarv. If you don't want chaase with your pick, that'll be my next pick.

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Okay, I think I figured out exactly what you meant now, brother.

Scott: Stabbingcactii, Tjarv
Matt: Sofaman, TDsandbeer

To make this easier yet, here's my draft priority order so you can finish this up next time you see it.
chaase
SmokinJenks
Tampa torpedoes
Grain Belt
I'm also assuming we can't pick our own teams, cause I'd have picked me or you first.
If you want, we can add our teams to our list of teams. Or I can take you and you can take my team. Or whatever. Just so all 10 teams are represented in our two teams, ya know? Or not, that's fine, too.

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

If someone wants to bet a fiver of cc's on a personal bet, I'm all about that. :tu
Being this is for the troops, let's say we each have to donate a fiver of troop sticks in order to play.

I'm thinking we can each make up a 4 player team for the week and go head to head. QB/WR/RB/TE. No draft, just pick your players, all are available. If both of us pick the same player for a position, it'll be a wash, so it doesn't matter.
The odds of us picking the same 4 players is almost nil, so I'm not concerned about that.
I think that'd be a pretty badass game right there.

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Just got home from school and opened this bad ass of a pass up!

Here's the puts and takes, once this gets approved ill have it sent to Coach Deg!

Let me know guys! Thanks!

Hopefully this will work!

Glad to have a little time to get back on here.

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I was just thinking 2 teams each so lets stick to this:

Scott: Stabbingcactii, Tjarv
Matt: Sofaman, TDsandbeer

Highest combined score wins!

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Jarrod! Incredible puts! That Behike looks sweet...just wish I had something worth trading for it :D

I think we were trying to throw in 2 extras the first lap so if you have another random higher end NC lying around to toss in there it gets a big thumbs up from me.

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Scott how about 10 troop sticks on our matchup this weekend???

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

You got it, Scott.
Jarrod, what Matt said. Everyone is tossing in a couple extras at least this go around.

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Awesome no problem. Thanks for letting me know.

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Anyone else have an opinion?

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Looks great Jarrod

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Scott, I'll take you up on this bet, but I don't want to do this week. I don't have time to actually take a look and see who would be the best team for me. Also, my "packages :tu " won't be arriving for another week or 2 and I don't want to have to make you wait if you'd happen to win :r

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Jarrod, your puts and take look on par brother (the behike is an awesome addition to this pass...lucky is he who gets it!).

Just the disclaimer that the others mentioned already...2 premiums this go around please. :tu

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Thanks Matt! Just wanted to let you know I threw another 24 sticks into the troop box this weekend, so my balance is at 10 after the 5'er lost to Mark.

Other than that, my records match yours. :tu

Great job betting guys!!!! Oh, and Shilala, Let's do the bet this week...my goodies from the island got here on Saturday! :D

So the bet is, the best 4 player team: QB, WR, RB, TE for a 5'er of CCs, and we each donate a 5'er to the troops.

I'll get my players picked this week.

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Throwing a new twist in this week...

Betting the field again. 5 troop sticks against everyone, only this time you all can buy points. If you want to "take" the bet (everyone is in for 0 sticks straight up already) every stick you bet buys you a point. i.e. if you bet a troop fiver, you get 5 points. So if you put 15 troop sticks on the line and I win by 12...I still lose. Who wants in?

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I think I'll get my ass kicked but I'm in for 5 Matt

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Shilala here is my 4 player team:

QB = Peyton Manning
WR = Calvin Johnson
RB = LeSean McCoy
TE = Antonio Gates

Pick your poison brother! :D

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Coach, have you got the package yet?

UPS shows it was dropped off even though signature confirmation was included?

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Matt I'm in plus 15 sticks!

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Sweet...

Mark...where are you? If you put up 75 sticks there's a 50/50 chance for ya!:noon:noon

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Cole, I'm headed out for vacation. This weekend and next aren't very good for me to follow ball, so let's put that off till the following week, okay?
I wanna make sure I'm watching when I whoop your ass. :)

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Sorry I haven't been as involved as before, just been real busy. I got the pass.
CC Takes

I am not sure of value. Everyone was excited about the Behike so in my puts I put an extra CC and also my NC value put is a lot more then my take. But I really am not sure so please let me know if I'm off.

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Cole are you up for a troop 5er on our matchup???

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Any thoughts? My hopes are to get in mail Monday.

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

Not sure if I see anything that would be a fair trade for the Behike, other than that it looks great. Last I checked that is about a $40 cigar. I would say it would take a higher end cigar with some decent age on it to warrant that take. Just my opinion, hopefully others will chime in here.

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I agree with Matt here on the Behike. It is at times somewhat HTF and a $40 smoke. Everything else looks good though. :tu

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

No problem. I will switch it up today.

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I'm just going to kick your ass straight up. :gary

Re: Fourth Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops
 

I switched it up. Take is the Tatajuie 10, puts San Cristobal and Camacho Triple Maduro.
