My laying traps days are over….hustling isn’t easy…..lol

 

[Viejo Dinosaur]

Now back to the thread…the Suns losing eliminated quite a lot of entries….I’m sure Bob will be around shortly to explain….

 

[ComptrBob]

[Dell Dude]

Supposed to be?

No.

I want a May contest! We are supposed to get free contests all year!

 

[John Kelly]

I want a May contest! We are supposed to get free contests all year!

EOG will be the place to be in August.

Stay tuned.

 

[Dell Dude]

You're not pocketing the money, JK? Maybe I misremembered. I can't even remember the name of the poster funding the contests. I thought this was supposed to be a year round EOG feature all the way until 2023.

 

[John Kelly]

Pocketing what money?

EOG contributor DURBIFY earmarked a limited amount of funds for a couple of EOG contests.

MRBOWLING300 will confirm.

Nice try,

 

[Dell Dude]

Ask and you shall receive.

DURBIFY earmarked some of his EOG winnings as prize money to fund free contests for our community.

EOG will hold contests every month over the next six months with total prize money in the neighborhood of $3,000.

DURBIFY has a generous soul.

Computer Mush. Guilty please (no JK pun) add and report amount of money and # of contests to date. Needs to reach 3k and 6.

 

[Dell Dude]

If I am mistaken, I will of course mea cookie.

 

[Dell Dude]

There has been 3 or 4 contests but no where near Tony Homo $3000 prize money.

 

[Dell Dude]

Every month promise broken but it's pawcess.

 

[John Kelly]

DURBIFY did not earmark $3,000 for free contests at EOG.

Nice try.

Sheesh!

 

[Dell Dude]

All you have to do is list and add the prize money. If it reaches $3000, I will mea culpa.

 

[Dell Dude]

Do not count my $100.

 

[John Kelly]

All you have to do is list and add the prize money. If it reaches $3000, I will mea culpa.

Reading comprehension is not one of Dell Dude's strengths.

 

[kane]

I will of course mea cookie.

Still waiting

 

[Dell Dude]

So am I, kane.

 

[Dell Dude]

So am I.

EOG will hold contests every month over the next six months with total prize money in the neighborhood of $3,000.

 

[John Kelly]

Dude's a clown.

He failed to quote my entire post and he falsely assumed DURBIFY donated $3,000 to an EOG prize pool.

Here's my entire post from January 20, 2022:

Ask and you shall receive.

DURBIFY earmarked some of his EOG winnings as prize money to fund free contests for our community.

Now stop it, Dude.

You're wasting my time.

 

[John Kelly]

MRBOWLING300 could confirm the above post, but I don't want to waste his time.

 

[Dell Dude]

At first I was just taunting. Now I think JK really is pocketing the money. Bill Sink territory. Do what you do, JK.

 

[John Kelly]

Surrender noted.

 

[Dell Dude]

Here is a clown.

Could you be referring to STIFF DUDE who WELCHED on a $50 bet with me. Money that was going to CHARITY! He took money from charity - just like with Der Fuhrer and his sons Uday and Qusay.

JK should not allow STIFF DUDE to post here until he donates the $50 to LLS he should pay for losing the NCAA Tourney contest we had. He also should NOT be allowed to enter any contest for anything until he pays.

 

[Dell Dude]

Surrender noted.

We'll call it a draw. I have a walkoff to win.

[John Kelly]

Thanks for sharing, CB.

 

[Dell Dude]

$3000 minus $700 equals $2300. This math post in honour of the advantage gambler poster Justin7.

 

[Dell Dude]

$2300 minus whatever was *actually paid out previous contests. I do not have that # available. Certainly not anywhere Tony Homo $2300.

[bishqqq]

wow JK, I forgot about the tie - breaker........thnx

 

[ComptrBob]

The drama here is limited, I can see only 3 possible winners:

Celtics win NBA:
BishQQQ wins with 16+ points

Warriors win NBA:
Avs advance or NYR advance:
ComptrBob wins with 15+ points
Avs and Rangers don't advance:
waco wins with 15 points and tiebreaker with CB

 

[John Kelly]

BISHQQQ in the driver's seat.

 

[Dell Dude]

For the $100 I donated to the winner, JK is going to take care of you, BISHQQQ.

 

[ComptrBob]

BISHQQQ in the driver's seat.

Nice to have ComptrBob back in the driver's seat. Pinny series price: Warriors -115, Celtics -101.
