@donal...thats BS. you should void after such a major change in the question. guess you need to fill like a tough guy or your just plain lazy.

It was a clarification not a major change. If I wanted to feel like a tough guy or if I was just plain lazy, I would void it.

The question was poorly phrased (..please think in future bcguelph) but I prefer to give users the benefit of the doubt rather than sitting on my ivory tower, being zealously strict and throwing out insults.

@donal..first let me say i'm sorry for insulting you. i should not do such things over free money. i didn't make clear i just wanted my bet voided not the whole question. imho the clarification changed the question greatly from when i bet on it. again sorry for over reacting. have a nice day.

They're 80-70 with 12 games to play. Unless they somehow win at least 11 of those 12, they're not getting to .500 for the year.

i think thats backwards pixelpaws. to be at .500 they gotta be say 82 wins 82 losses. so they need 2 wins and can lose 10 and still be at .500.
