The EOG Octagon (SKINNY versus "1")

The EOG Octagon is a head-to-head handicapping showdown featuring a winner-take-all purse of 2,500 bananas.

Each contestant provides 1,000 bananas to the prize pot with EOG supplying the added bananas.

The format is flexible.

The participants have agreed to submit 40 plays in December with the handicapper earning the most units being declared the winner.

All plays must land in the range of -200 to +200.

Contestants are allowed only one wager per event.

Contestants will post selections using prices and pointspreads from the following establishments: CRIS, Pinnacle, BetDSI, Westgate and William Hill.

Once a contestant posts a selection, neither the contestant nor the opponent can submit a play in the same game.

To make an official selection, each contestant must submit the following four pieces of information in the post: Betting number, team name, price/pointspread and available sports book.

The handicapper with the most units at the end of the month will be declared the winner.

At month's end, the winner stays on the court for the following month and the loser goes home.

I'll try to recruit ABUNDY, BRAYDEN11, CHO, FAIR WARNING, HEIM, KANE, NUT6, PALEFACE, PINNACLE420, RAILBIRD, SCOOPER, SVBETTOR, TOBY TYLER, VIEJO DINOSAUR and others for this space in 2020.

Two gentleman gamblers hook up in the month of December for a fair and friendly competition.

May the handicapper who performs best capture the purse money.

Great job by SKINNY last month in winning his second straight showdown.

He's a gambler's gambler.

I won the last two contests by a gnat's eyelash, very fortunate.

Heim and Richsox were worthy opponents, and I'm sure "1" will be also.

Two plays tonight

Sounds good.

And I'll try to schedule Viejo Dinosaur for February so we can take the bitter rivalry from the locker room to the Octagon.

Should be good theatre.

Foreign objects will not be allowed in the ring.

"1" is a mystery man.

Like the old Clinton policy involving gays in the military: Don't ask, don't tell.
JK. You being a wordsmith using a gay reference in relation to "1" is probably frowned upon. But then again in the times we live in now I would not be surprised to see a James Bond movie come out with Bond being gay.

I looked up positive variance last two minutes online and Ron's picture came up. Yikes!
