Props

by Otis

In an effort to kill some time at work, I've decided to risk a little of my own cash to make this trip to Vegas a little more interesting.

As such, I offer up the following prop bets to any takers:

Rules: Maximum bet is $1. I collect your buck pre-tourney on Saturday the 11th. Maximum one bettor per prop bet. I pay off if you win before you leave Vegas. If you win after you've left Vegas, your bet is void. I am not responsible for collecting your bet. If you claim your bet here and don't pay me Saturday morning, your bet is void. In the event the prop bet is won before Saturday morning, I will pay off Saturday morning. In short, you claim your bet via the comments section here, pay me a buck on Saturday morning, and I pay off if you win before you leave. Again, only one person per bet below. The time-stamp on the comments section will determine who is the rightful bettor. Betting ends Thursday night at 8pm EST. I will print out the comments section before I depart and have it with me for confirmation

Are you XXXXXX from XXXXX blog?
Odds: 10:1

Your $1 bet will get you $10 if a blogger is recognized by a random player at a poker table without the blogger mentioning that he's a blogger. The recognition must be witnessed by one other person. This bet will not pay off in the event Felicia, Joe Jr., Joe Sr., or Charlie Shoten are recognized. This bet is only good for one payoff.

Otis wins! Otis wins!
Odds: 25:1

In the event I win the holiday classic, the winner of this bet wins $25.

Up For Poker Represent!
Odds: 15:1

In the event all three Up For Poker contributors make it to the final table (that's CJ, Otis, and G-Rob), the winner of this bet gets $15


A taste of his own medicine
Odds: 20:1

If someone knocks Grubby out of the tournament with The Hammer, the winner of this bet gets $20

Where did BadBlood go?
Odds: 2:1

If BadBlood should disappear and we discover he's made a trip to Industrial Road, the winner of this bet gets $2. BadBlood is not elligible for this bet.

Sneaky camera, hidden Grubby
Odds: 5:1

If someone can sneak a digital camera into the casino and snap a photo of Grubby playing slots, I'll pay $5 on a $1 bet.

Waita second...
Odds: 4:1

The winner of this bet will be the blogger who can engage me in conversation for no less than five minutes without me recognizing you and saying, "Waita second, aren't you XXXXX?" $4 on a $1 bet. Bet must be made in advance, which means you're ging to have to be damned sneaky. Or I'm going to have to be fairly inebriated.

Longer lasting...
Odds: 5:1

The winner of this bet gets $5 if Maudie outlasts Charlie Shoten in the Holiday Classic.

B.G.=D.R.U.N.K.
Odds: 5:1

The winner of this bet gets $5 if two or more people agree BG was at--one point during the trip--wasted.

CJ, meet Al Can't Hang
Odds: 7:1

The winner of this bet gets $7 if someone witnesses Al Can't Hang buy CJ two or more shots of SoCo and CJ actually drinks them himself. Both shots must be bought and consumed within a one-hour period.


HAPPY BETTING!

PS--I had several prop bets constructed that involved Pauly, but the odds were so unfavorable for the bettor, I decided not to include them. I mean, is anybody going to take .25:1 odds that Pauly can track down Paris Hilton and get her to whisper in my ear, "Dr. Pauly loves Paris."

Yeah, I got a lot of faith in the good doctor.
