Default Re: STTF-HUC Side Bets

[ QUOTE ]
Some recommendations, along with a few off-the-top-off my head prices in some cases.


Total wins per player.
Gigabet show/no show (2-1 no)
Player A more wins than Player B
Gigabet/Irieguy/Daliman/Imsolucky/Mcpherzen vs field to win or total wins. (Even Money)
Will the championship match take 1 or 2 games? (-110 1 game/+110 2 games)
$500 or $200 player winning it all. (-250 $500 player)
Winner coming from loser's bracket. (-240)
Winner going undefeated-110)

These are all good ideas. I'm not actually doing any handicapping myself, except to try and come up with player win totals. The way it's set up is that there will be a bet that's posted, and you'll be able to post how much you want to wager and how much you want to win.

So say you want to take the first bet of Gigabet not showing up with 2:1 odds, and you're willing to risk $100. Then you go and click on the link for that bet, put 100 in the risk column and 200 in the win column. Then, if somebody else can come along and pick up the other end. There's nothing to stop you from betting $1 to win $1000 on Irie vs. Yugo in the first round, but if you post that, nobody will pick it up.
