Buyout option on a dumb sidebet
Lots of beer and testosterone on FF draft night. A guy was going to take Drew Bennett before Holt in the 3rd round. We start laughing and he gets defensive and wants to make a sidebet on Bennett touchdowns. We go 7 for $500. 6 I win 8 I lose. He had 11 last year, but 8 in three weeks with Volek chucking to him. Other than that, he had 16 in the 4 years of his career.
I was regretting the bet the moment that I made it. I wish that I would have pushed for 7.5 and I still don't think that I would have liked it. 6 weeks in, he has one. The guy wants to offer a $100 buyout. Should I cut and close and be done with this? All he would need would be 7 in 10 weeks and as streaky as he was last year, I don't think that it is far out of the question. On the other hand, my $150 bet on Peyton's TD's (I have the under 39) and 5-1 under 50 for $100 looks pretty solid.

Re: Buyout option on a dumb sidebet
Take a buyout. WR production is so variant, and you don't know when Bennett can put up the other 7, and almost any #1 WR could do it.

Bennett just dislocated his thumb. I'd stick with the bet. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think he'll pay more to get out. [/ QUOTE ] Given Bennett's dislocated thumb, I'd imagine you could get $200 -- maybe $250. Personally I'd offer $250, and see if he counter offers. I think you're in a pretty strong position on this one. <--- Bennett owner [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] <--- Darrell Jackson owner [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
