I'll start it off.

When the Blazers won the lottery, but BEFORE the draft, I bet Bonk $20 that Portland would win 40 games this season.

Imagine my dismay when Oden went down with surgery and the Blazers started off 5-12.

However, now they are rolling at 22-13 woohoo! They are virtually a lock for winning 40 games...

My only regret is that we didn't bet more money.

I'm bored... anyone want to bet on something?

Throw out a proposal and I'll look at it. C'mon...

2:1 odds that NC does NOT win the NCAA Championship...

Do you think they will or won't?

I am betting they wont...plus, I HATE UNC so this is a bet I can really get behind while watching \"the Madness\"

Nice job on the Blazers bet btw : )

Ahhhh it's tempting but I don't think they'll win it either. Would you give me odds to say they DO win the 'ship?

Here are some current NCAA Basketball National Championship Futures Odds:

I guess I was a little unclear, I would be giving you 2:1 odds that UNC is not the National Champion, because there are a number of teams that could win it so it would be unfair for you to have UNC and for me to have the field...Unfortunately, I'm at work and unable to see those lines

Gotcha. Well, the lines started as UNC 5 to 1 for WINNING the NC, and are currently at 3.5 to 1 for them WINNING. If you give me 4 to 1 odds that UNC DOES win the NC, I'd probably take it...

If so, how much do you want to bet?

$5?
$10?
$50?
$100?

My first child against your first four children?

I'd LOVE to give you my first four Children man, so I better not put them up or Amanda will be mad...

I'm think $50 - $100, somewhere in that range but I'm wondering we have to round up on the Vegas Lines? I'd do $100 at 3.5 to 1

Lol at your first sentence...

As for 3.5 to 1 at $100... IT'S ON! $100 to you if UNC does NOT win the title, $350 to me if they do. No way a compulsive gambler such as myself can pass this up.

Time to get into full fledged \"UNC4NationalChamps\" mode...

It's ON!

and...

I'm not sure what \"Full Fledged...NC Mode\" means. Does that mean you'll be more or less annoying?

Go Duke.
