Final leg of Torture Teaser at Skybook $20 to pay me $30,000

ClayHenry · Oct 26, 2003

49ers Over 48 guys

wish me luck!!!!

I called Skybook and offered to settle at $15,000 with the score 49ers 6-0 11:00 minutes left in the 1st Qtr and they said good luck with your pick.

I hope it hits!!!

GL Clay... I was going to get down on the UNDER in that game but missed the kickoff time. I think it will be for the best.

What else did you have in the torture teaser, and how many pts is it in the NFL... 7?

Best of luck Clay

Nice score if it hits!!

FunkSoulBrother · Oct 26, 2003

13 points early

ClayHenry · Oct 26, 2003

here are the plays that i played in my Torture Teaser

NCAA
Texas Tech Over 81.5
Kent St. +15
Ok St. Under 54
Oklahoma Under 58
Pitt Under 48

NFL

Rams -5.5
Bucs -13
49ers Over 48

$20 pays $100,000

I pushed on the Pitt total of 48, sucks because had I placed my bet 2 days sooner I would have got it at 51, fortunately though ties push and revert to the next lower payout

thus

$20=$30,000 if it hits

I would have accept $15,000 do you think Skybook would have been dumb to accept that with the score 6-0 11 minutes left in the first Qtr.????

ClayHenry · Oct 26, 2003

just hoping for 24 pts. a piece baby!!!

why did the 49ers go for 2???

botched snap I'm guessing

FunkSoulBrother · Oct 26, 2003

The way this is going maybe you should have given Skybook a number to call you back at...

BillDozer · Oct 26, 2003

this is noice!
You planning on requesting payout immediately if you win?

Dante · Oct 26, 2003

WOW Clay....what was the amount of games you had to pick for that??

ClayHenry · Oct 26, 2003

Bill- no idea the biggest payout I've ever received is for like $1000.

ClayHenry · Oct 26, 2003

Dante- 8 team reverse teaser -7 pts.

Dante · Oct 26, 2003

WOW GL MAN!!!!!

ClayHenry · Oct 26, 2003

back to the old drawing board

wish i'd played ole miss under, La Tech Over, Pitt -14 or USC -17 instead, oh well, I guess I'll just have to take another crack at it next week.

BTW- does anyone think getting paid would be a problem should one of these goof bets happen to hit.....

TheGeneral+ · Oct 26, 2003

Sorry Clay. Gotta give the book props too for holding their bet.

Dante · Oct 26, 2003

well it was worth the 20$ risk

ClayHenry · Oct 26, 2003

dante- definately, I think if everyone played just one of these each week I bet we'd probably have 2 or 3 people hit the $100,000 by the end of the season. I especially like the college totals with these plays.

I hated to post the thread topic like I did due to the jinx factor, but I just had to post something in case it happened to hit I wanted to have some extra proof in case getting paid ever came into question.

FunkSoulBrother · Oct 26, 2003

sorry clay, hope you don't feel my excitedness jinxed you. I just like cheering for a big score. Hell, I cheered for Dell Dude almost every thread he made.

FunkSoulBrother · Oct 26, 2003

btw that game was the worst display of kicking I've ever seen.

I would have never played with them again had they accepted the offer. Anyone that mathematically challenged will get killed in the long run.

This bet had fair odds of +250 or so (taking 7 the worst of it on an NFL total), making a fair price say $8,500 or so, for a 30K payout with one leg left. It could possibly have been a smidgen higher due to the early score but not much.

Sorry it didn't hit. Hope you hit one soon.
