Title: New Guy vs. Bamaster... place your bets! Win something!
Post by: bamaster on April 28, 2004, 02:29:18 AM
For those that don't already know, this weekend there is a PBA regional event in Phil's hometown of San Antonio, Texas.  Phil bowls league in the house and Dyno-thane is a co-sponsor of the event.  And those that know me, know that I have come out of retirement just to bowl this event. I have tenodonitis in my wrist and hadn't thrown a ball in over 5 weeks before last Thursday.  He's a leftie and I'm a rightie.  He's old and I'm handsome.

So place your bets!

Who's gunna have the highest 8-game qualifying score?  Whoever picks the winner and guesses by how many pins without going over... WINS!

Only one prediction per poster.  Entries end on Friday at midnight.  If a duplicate exists, the first to submit gets it.

The winner gets at least a tote bag generously donated by the loser.  I have a new tote bag I can give to the winner if by a freak accident I lose.  Phil can at least do the same after I whip up on him.

Haha!

OK, I'll stick to it (and I expect something in the mail ), and pick señor Melendez, by 37.  Yay, I win!

Astro Bowl is old wood.  But I heard they replaced some boards and supposedly fixed the heads (not sure what that means, it's just what I heard).

I know the odds are stacked against me.  He's been practicing on it all week and drilling equipment just to beat me.  But like all the guys who bet on George Foreman learned... can't beat youth!

I'm already practicing my award speech.  Ahem!  "I'd like to thank all the liuttle people who supported me in my early years.  My parents, my agent, and God... without whom none of this would be possible.  You like me!  You reeeeally like me!"

I'll take Tony by 32.  Pattern E, he should be banking those D/T balls right off the 2 board into the pocket all day long.  It wouldn't be so close, but ya gotta give the house mouse lefty an extra 50 pins just for being... a house mouse lefty.

Prediction

I'll drop him like 12th grade French....Me by 42
By the way if I'm 80 over like one of the prediction said, that could be in the top 10 scores. last year it took 8 under to make the cut, I was 30 over and had a 140 game thrown in.

In the immortal words of Julius Ceaser (the inventor of the salad and the original use of Mass Bias that's how the Romans conquered the world they had Mb shields and Swords the others did not)...."Let the games begin"

See I worked in a Mb anyway....amazing

I'm so worried that today I'm going to practice.....Golf that is noon tee time.

Advil man better be shoeing up and working on his game.


Phil, you forgot to note that Caesar also insisted on the importance of measuring the mass bias and time it took for the spears used by his soldiers to return to their preferential rotational axis, measured by Caesar's own diVinator.

Oh, and 42?  That's all?  In your house?  With his excuses?  In a tournament you are sponsoring?  On Pattern E?  Wimpy lefty!

PBAFIRE .. I thought there were two rounds of eight games before they make a cut! It was my impression that the BET is based on QUALIFING .. that would be after tomorrows round of 8 games .. I THINK!

Joe, there are 2 squads of qualifying, 8 games each squad.  Then it's a cut to the top 1/3 for Sunday morning where they bowl a best of 5.  By the looks of it only Phil made the cut.  Perhaps pbafire is correct about the spread for qualifying.

Post by: bamaster on May 02, 2004, 05:05:48 PM
Yeah, the bet was for qualifying only.  There are 8 games in qualifying.  We were on the the same squad (A squad) and he whooped me.  If I had knocked 18 more sticks down I would hae cashed and made it to Sunday and at least bowled 5 more games during the semifinals and could have made a charge at that lead he got on me.  But it was not to be.

I send "afbowler" a private message to get his address.  I owe him a tote bag.  And for the record, Phil was going to give an undrilled Element Au79 from his personal inventory... as opposed to ordering it from a warehouse.  

Congrat to Phil.  He beat me on a shot I thought I was going to tear up.  After During practice I had a great shot off the gutter.  I had him for a while, but he popped off a big game and I finished like a punk, as usual.  Didn't make some key shots and missed too many easy spares.  Cost me this bet and a check in the tournament.
