Re: Highest ranked league bet
Wow 3 points, was fun reading the posts all year

Well done SCE2, SCE1 and Prompts.

As a poker player i do like the sound of that +EV situation ringing in my ears but...
I represent a team. i have great confidence in my team. As already posted in this thread i am looking to back my team in a bet against any other team in the country.
I really dont run on individual ego, nor need to make an individual bet (ill leave that to PK
Pick a league and ill bet against it.
I guess SJ will get double the coin as you were favourite

Re: Highest ranked league bet
Less than a minute, second page.
I remember when you made the post and thought this guy is arrogant (claiming you were favorite). SJ is a good consistent SC coach and has ranked as high as 12th iirc.
I'm sure you have ranked high too, so it made for a good close bet (no favorite)

Re: Rivalries & Bets
lol, clearly u didnt read the line that led up to that bolded quote if thats what you thought. I was trying to avoid an individual bet at the time. I would have thought the person pushing the individual bet was more likely to be targeted than myself for such a comment as you have made.
SJ's trolls and goons strike again. There has not been 1 YSCC poster for the entire year that has said a bad word about SCE or SJ. I certainly cannot say that we/I have been shown the same respect.
I wouldnt make an individual bet again. I made risky decisions to try and get up the top. If i had of focussed on the bet then i would not have been willing to make these decisions. My focus is no.1 not just beating another coach.

Re: Rivalries & Bets
FB you need to take life a little less seriously, (this is the bet and rivalries thread).
I just posted an old quote (which I would have done on the SCE board if someone lost a bet) and you call me a troll and goon.
I dont know you either should we catch up for a pot of tea

Re: Rivalries & Bets
Maybe get some of your YSCC mob to jump in and back you up, sounds like the SCE boys are just sticking together, like a group should.
I heard a little wisper a couple of YSCC are keen to jump ship and join SCE???

Re: Rivalries & Bets
lols at taking it too seriously. I can take a joke from friends or people that i know but Im not interested in taking crap from unknown snipers.
my rivalry is with SJ not some randoms. If you wanted it to be a team thing you had your chance to take the league bet. imo you forfeited that right.
If its me v all of SCE in this thread then what incentive do i have to post on BF?

Re: Rivalries & Bets
This is SCE home court. Most of the YSCC boys dont even visit this site anymore.

Re: Rivalries & Bets
Thought the imaginary turf war between two websites was a fantasy, just like the game you play, it's just fantasy.
No one here is on the front line killing off opposition websites, nor going out of their way to purposefully troll or flame them.
Seems like the bit where he thought you were arrogant started the backlash, nothing to spark up a turf war now is it.
Laugh it off, it was hardly a cheap shot, it was just a quote followed by his opinion. Thou shalt not hath opinion on thy internet?
Nothing wrong with being members of multiple websites, look at Prompts (BF, TS etc.). Being connected to supposed 'rival' websites isn't a crime and I'm 100% sure that Mods everywhere like to see proper discussion whoever the person is. Hopefully 2012 brings more and more people into the serious side of Fantasy AFL, and people aren't scrutinised for being under a certain banner.
My 2c.

Re: Rivalries & Bets
I also initially thought FBDonkey's post came across a bit over confident (maybe cocky, maybe not) so I threw out a 1-on-1 challenge. In the end it was PK who took up the challenge.
But I was wrong, FBDonkey personally messaged me and wished me the best of luck in the bet - a really even handed thing to do given PK was one of his own. He also messaged a few times through the season to see how it was all going...no negativity, just interest.
I think forum posting always ends up leading to misinterpreted content which can then end up as a runaway train as it has done to some degree here.
FBDonkey provides great information on his site which I use. I also use the other sites. I post on Bigfooty because it's a good community with a decent amount of regular posters and i find that the most important thing.
FBDonkey has historically been a good poster on all things SC and should be given some credit. We'd also like to see posters like Hondo and PK and other YSSCers post on here as they want as they provide good analysis and add to the overall debate.
I do understand that this is rivalries thread and that to some degree it is here for a little verbal jousting. God knows, i've done it all season with PK, but I've never pushed it too far to trainwreck anything

Re: Rivalries & Bets
I feel like im in a no win situation here. I can let some of these posters take free shots at me and just let them pass or i can try and correct them and then end up looking like a d**k.
I dont recall any1 'verbal jousting' against either PK or BG that wasnt either PK or BG. Nobody (including myself) took sides in the thread. If they did, they didnt overtly post this in the thread.
I think the PK v BG rivalry would have been far less interesting if all of YSCC had come in here posting in this thread against BG because the fun would have been taken out of it for him and he would have been far less willing to make the posts that he did.

Re: Rivalries & Bets
You talk about respect, but it is you throwing around Troll, Goon and Sniper.
I just posted one of your own quotes and I can not remember one negative post (or any posts for that matter) about you and SJ's bet.
I think you are seriously over reacting
I was one of a few on SCE who pushed for that bet, posted on 23rd March

Re: Rivalries & Bets
If sticking together is taking shots at members from other groups, YSCC isn't interested, thats not the kind of people we are. A little friendly banter is fine but if you continue to gang up and taunt people from YSCC you won't find us around anymore.

Re: Rivalries & Bets
FB is a competitive bloke - who as far I can tell wanted to re-ignite a bet v the SCE. I personally would have loved to see the bet taken up - in fact it should be a yearly tradition!!! You guys got us this year, congrats - so we're off to study harder for next!
SJ refused stating he couldnt back 15 other blokes to hold true all year - all the rest was meh - banter.
