Handicapping Vegas...

Well, it looks like the rosters for the Spingold and Wagar teams are up on the ACBL site.

 

Anyone have any predictions which will dazzle and excite us?

 

Gerben offered a pool for the '07 Bermuda bowl... I wonder if there'd be interest in something similar after the bracket thins a little?

 

Anyway, should be some fun viewing!

 

 

 

PS - Good luck to all the BBOFers, particularly - I suppose - to the team of Matt, Phil, Han, Roger, Josh and Bruce in the Mini I.

We should definitely get a pool going.

Assuming that hrothgar speaks for at least a handful of others, I'll throw up a thread tomorrow morning announcing the pool and seeking submissions...

 

We'll aim for a submission deadline of Wednesday @ 1pm Las Vegas time (PDT) since that's when cards hit the table.

I have some inside info that the 84-seed in the mini-spingold is going to dominate.

Thanks for the tip, Roger. They say you can bet on anything in Vegas, right? :( Good luck! We're pulling for you all.

 

More tomorrow.

Good luck to team 84 in the mini-spingold!  :)

 

Sorry if this is a stupid question(s), but what is the mini-spingold, and why do people  choose to enter it instead of the real Spingold?

It's for guys with mini-, um, never mind. Don't want to get censured.

It's specifically limited to 5000 MP (there's a micro-Spingold, too, limited to 1500), and people enter it for two reasons:

 

- they go to the Big Show, and don't want to play against the Big Boys

- they intend to win the event.

 

I have a good guess as to which of the two reasons the #84 seed has...

Well - so far there's no mention of the Spingold 2008 semi-s or finals

on the BBO VuGraph schedule, or anywhere?

 

At the very least they should carry Round of 64 Lall vs lall!!!!

 

(You can decide which team get's the Capital "L")

 

How do you know who is playing wh in the round and who they are playing against? Cant find that info on ACBL results page
