Stanley Cup Avatar Bets
One of my favorite swamp traditions is the Stanley Cup Avatar Bet
Typical Rules
1.) Winner of the most recent game in the series gets to set the Avatar of the losing side until next game (i.e. if you win, you have the other person's avatar until your team gets a win).
2.) When your team wins the series you keep the other person's avatar until your team loses a series
3.) If your side wins the cup you keep the loses avatar(s) from lifting the cup +1 month
I will take the caps, any Islander Fans on the board want some action?

Re: Stanley Cup Avatar Bets
I haven't done any avatar bets for years, but if I were going to it would be for something like college football or basketball. Might have missed our chance for Syb or Diamond for the SUNY-Buffalo/CMU MAC final.
Sorry. (I'm also not really going to be around very much for the next couple of weeks anyway. FWIW.)

Re: Stanley Cup Avatar Bets
any Rangers fan want to win a bet over this Pens fan, who can't realize his team won't win this series?

He popped up on Twitter the other day. I would continue to spend my time worrying about your well-being.Giff wrote:I haven't seen Zman post in a while on FB either. Anyone know if he's doing OK?
Who knows? Maybe, you were kidnapped, tied up, taken away and held for ransom.

regardless - i'm game for any length - week or 2? :)
(this lottery is so weird. i probably wouldn't even mind if the Sharks got him, but holyhell there are more than a few teams i'd be horrified by winning...)

Re: Stanley Cup Avatar Bets
An avatar bet on the draft lottery?! I know that this is both pathetic and awesome, but I can't quite figure out the ratio. And yeah, those odds seem a little too skewed in Max's favor. East-coast bias.
Max, I still think that you should take my suggestion and stay heavily sedated thru the rest of the week. Did that doctor who killed Michael Jackson ever get convicted? Maybe he can hook you up. (You know, with slightly less than whatever he was giving MJ.) Failing that, just stay away from anything that will make you think of hockey. Binge-watch 'Mad Men' or 'The Teletubbies' or something.

Re: Stanley Cup Avatar Bets
I just realized "one of the (three) teams Mister D truly hates" has better odds of winning the lottery than any team except Buffalo. Yikes.
Re: Stanley Cup Avatar Bets
Mister D are we on?

Re: Stanley Cup Avatar Bets
Mr. D--If Caps take Game 1 here is your avatar until game 2.
Re: Stanley Cup Avatar Bets
I thought we were just doing series bets here.
(Also, I'm declaring the key moment tonight to be the first time Orpik obstructs a forward blowing past him. If it's called, Rangers in 5. If not, 7.)

Re: Stanley Cup Avatar Bets
Look at the first post. Last team to win keeps the avatar until the other team wins, gets knocked out of the cup, or +1 month from lifting the cup.mister d wrote:I thought we were just doing series bets here.
