Week 3 BG-Pauly Gamblathon



Week 1... Tony Randall died and I won $5.



Week 2... Shrek 2 failed to gross 151 Million over the four day holiday and I lost $5.



Week 3... it's a carnival sideshow! Here's what Boy Genius suggested for this week's prop bet:

We're all tied up... Pauly and I are knotted at one win apiece going into week three of our $5 weekly gambling challenge. He and Tony-fucking-Randall took week one, and I rode significantly under the still over-performing abilities of a friendly ogre to take week two.



Week three's question:



What do the numbers 69 and 180 have in common?



Give up?



They are, respectively, the average height (in inches) and weight (in pounds you un-American kilobastards) of the adult male in this country.



The bet is:



Take these poker bloggers and guess whether they fall over or under the combined figure of 249 (inches+pounds) when adding height and weight:



Intrepid Card Player

BadBlood on Poker

Love and Casino War

Cheap Thrills

Grubby

Chris Halverson

Monte Christo

Genius of the Poker

Chicago Phil

Poker Penguin



I haven't met any of these guys, and short of that picture of Chris Halverson online a couple of weeks ago (and he might be exactly 5'9" and 180 lbs), I haven't seen pictures or went trolling to figure out if they ever wrote about height and weight.



My guesses:

ICP - Under

BadBlood - Under

Love and Casino War - Over

Cheap Thrills - Under

Grubby - Over

Chris Halverson - Under

Monte Christo - Over

Genius - Under

Chicago Phil - Over

Penguin - Over



He who gets the most right wins (of course, we need to get results from these guys - if you're one of these bloggers, wait until Pauly posts his O/U guesses, and let us know!). Good luck!

Wow, that's one monster prop bet! I decided to go with the gut on this one. And here are my picks:

ICP - Under

BadBlood - Under

Love and Casino War - Under

Cheap Thrills - Under

Grubby - Over

Chris Halverson - Over

Monte Christo - Under

Genius - Under

Chicago Phil - Over

Penguin - Over

We have simialr picks. It comes down to Halverson, Monte Christo, and Jeremy from Love & Casino War! I will post the results as soon as they come available!!!For the record, I am 6 ft tall and between 172-178 pounds. So I think I'm under!! I tipped the scales at 205 in college one year.
