GENS B Vegas ODDS

Got caught up a bit, me and Smoz got our series in (he still has my number, took it 3 games to 2.)

Also contacted Pearate and should be knocking off my other divisional series in the next day or two to finally get me caught up with the rest of the league.

Just because it involves me, I'll update the battle for that final playoff spot. Egorde went on an incredible run to finish the season, managing a split with DET (kupuck) and a 2 of 3 series win against TOR (smoz). However, due to a head-to-head series loss against danlizhot, his run for the final playoff spot has fallen short. The final spot now comes down to the 3 game series between Edmonton (me) and Quebec (Logan). If I've studied the tiebreakers correctly, 2 wins out of 3 will send EDM to the playoffs, anything less will send Winnipeg to the postseason.

Just wanna say again. LOVE how even everyone's been in B this season. Absolutely awesome. Even the guys with the best records look beatable. Playoffs are going to be so unpredictable. Having a seperate B this season has made for an awesome, unpredictable season.

Agreed - B has been pretty competitive.

so play-offs this season will be teams 1-8 out of both conferences instead of 1-4 of each conference?

my prediction for the finals:

TB vs TOR

Good point, I assumed conferences didn't matter. The rules say:

"GENS-B, GENS-C - Conference Winners are top 2 seeds, then the best 6 teams after them make the playoffs (8 teams).

There will be a consolation playoff bracket for teams from GENS-B and GENS-C that completed their 40 game season, and did not qualify for the regular playoff brackets."

Based on that, I figured next best 6 was regardless of conference. If RoBro wins 2 of 3, then we'll actually projected to have 4 (kupuck, kingraph, RoBro, Gretzky) and 4 (Pearate, Smozoma, Eggink, & Sicarius) from each conference, otherwise Dan takes the spot and we have 3 and 5.

:lol: Sorry bud, didn't mean to turn the pressure up.

No worries, now if I don't get in, I have an excuse. Jinxer! :P

But really, this has been a fun league, pretty high competition level for B. The playoffs will be awesome, with or without me.

Danlizhot's in, congrats. My man Ranford failed me in a win-and-in game. Sicarius played great though. So it's up to Dan to beat the odds now :)

Congrats to Danliz and also Sicarius, but I seriously want to say congrats to ProBob for a great season too. Being so close to the playoffs with EDM in a league of such equal players is still a great achievement. You should definitely be pleased with yourself. Pretty sure i'd have been a lot further off

Remember, there will be 2 points deducted for people who haven't finished their games, so the playoffs are not set yet! Either way a great season w/ EDM ProBob -- definitely showed my odds-making skills are OFF!

Bad night for me - only needed one win to clinch the division with EIGHT to play, won just 2, most by one goal. Looks like I'll be limping into the playoffs!

Division won, congrats. Sportsbook 2 of 2 so far! B)

Had Rammer started the season with Dallas I would have to throw a side bet on him.

Hopefully you (36-4 in C), rammer (35-3), and da94wookiee (36-4) are back for the next classic (I guess Spring'12?) to make the B league stronger than ever!

I'm looking forward to seeing how the C playoffs shake out. My guess is it comes down to the three of you. B)

The season is over and all games played! (applause) Original odds and winners (in bold):

ODDS TO WIN DIVISION

Patrick

Detroit – kupuck -150

NY Islanders – Houly +300

Tampa Bay – Kingraph +650

Adams

Buffalo – gretzkyonacold -110

Boston - egorde +200

Edmonton – robro +500

Smythe

Toronto – Smozoma -110

Quebec -Logan +250

Chicago – Pearate +250

Norris

Calgary - eggink444 -110

Winnipeg - dan_lizhot +350

Dallas – cory +350

Great regular season! Aside from the disappearance of cory for the last 9 and the Houly debacle at the start of the season, there were no real problems or arguments. The replacement of Logan late was unfortunate, but necessary and understood by all parties. Keep them mods happy!

+5000?!?! I'll place $2 on myself.

$15 on me winning the division.

Can't place bets on others, otherwise I could be like the 1919 White Sox (Black Sox).

Sorry PRoBob, house takes your $17. However, you definitely had a great season!

Ill take for $100 each

Divisions

Detroit – kupuck -150

Boston - egorde +200 no idea who he is? but valuetown

Chicago – Pearate +250 super value!

Calgary - eggink444 -110

Cup: Chicago – Pearate +800!

Payouts:

Kupuck - $166.67

egorde - ($100.00)

Pearate - $350.00

eggink - $190.91

Total $607.58 on your $400 bet and you still have Pearate @ +800 to win cup! Nice bets, you are putting your sportbook competition out of business. :D

$1000 on kingraph. i love those odds...

Assuming the cup...still alive.

Chicago vs Winnipeg, winner plays winner of Quebec vs Tampa Bay

Detroit vs Calgary, winner plays winner of Toronto vs Buffalo.

UPDATED ODDS TO WIN GENS B CUP

(note: Pearate/Dan series already played, Pearate winning in 7)

Chicago – Pearate +200 (he's in the conference final, has to face KingRaph (TB) or Sicarius Fulger (QUE), good matchups either way, should he in final)

Toronto – Smozoma +425 (lost 2 of 3 to Gretzkyonacold (BUF) in regular season, will be a tough series to move on. Can experience prove to be the difference?)

Detroit – kupuck +450 (DET took the series against CAL 2-1, but close games. Another great matchup!)

Calgary - eggink444 +500 (Has to face kupuck and DET, who finished with the 2nd best record in the league. If he can squeeze by, the road to the cup can be had)

Buffalo – gretzkyonacold +550 (should be a tough, good defensive matchup with Smozoma (TOR), followed by DET/CAL offensive matchup! Followed by (most likely) CHI. Hard draw, for sure)

Tampa Bay – Kingraph +600 (If he manages to get past Sicarious, he won't have enough firepower to beat Roenick, Belfour & Co. that follow)

Quebec – Sicarius Fulger +650 (KingRaph will be a tough first series, and past that CHI lies waiting)

Get out of it! You've had a great season, and whilst your team has limitations the season has shown your ability as a player more than gives you a chance against anyone. No one will be taking you lightly, no one will be surprised if you ended up winning it all (Although it would be against the odds admittedly), and as Sicarius is a replacement from C you have to be the favourite, as good as he is, and despite the team advantage he has.

Stop playing yourself down! lol ;)

I DID put my odds better than Sicarius, so I list myself as the favorite! lol. But I honestly think either of us will lose to Pearate in the subsequent matchup. Pearate took 2 of 3 from me in the regular season. Don't get me wrong, I still think I have a chance to beat him, but for odds purposes, I think it's right.

I tried to incorporate the future matchups as well. So I think we (me or Sicarius) lose to Pearate, and he makes the final. On the other end, I think the CAL/DET and BUF/TOR series are each a coin-flip, and those coin flips will face each other, which at this point I would consider a coin flip as well! So either of those 4 teams, in my opinion, has a 3-1 (+300) shot to make the final, then matchup with Pearate. I gave better odds to the more experienced coaches, just to have some diversity. :P That was my thinking on coming up with these odds.

EDIT: I just noticed I wrote "will not be a tough series" -- I meant WILL BE. I originally had "will not be easy", corrected it, but messed up. lol, fixed the original post.
