Baller MattP Posted February 11, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 11, 2013 Already over $50 in the pot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Shortenit Posted February 11, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 11, 2013 Willy has skied there for years and is there the week before. T-Gas has been there several weeks a year for several years. Pretty sure CP has been down there before. Andy is there several weeks a year for many years. Could be wrong but I don't think Nate has ever visited before. The brackish water there does ski a little different. Could be the difference. But then again, he is Nate Smith.......I'm in for $10. $5 on Willy, $3 on T-Gas, $2 on Nate. Can you say "Trifecta"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted February 11, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted February 11, 2013 $53 plus the 5 I will add when I decide on what score I am betting on. I do not know what the conditions will be like. I think your bet @MattP of 4-4.5 at 41 is pretty smart.

Baller MattP Posted February 11, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 11, 2013 @Horton why thank you. I do study spend a lot of time working with scores and keeping up with skiers via social meda ect. I think I have a good idea of what these guys are up to and capable of at the current time in the season. Give me an hour and I could put out some cool statistical data on these guys.

Administrators Horton Posted February 11, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted February 11, 2013 Funny no love for @Mapple yet. If he has been practicing at 36, he is still the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) Is he really a long shot? I wonder what happens when he gets on the dock with the young bucks. Reminds me of the story of the young bull and the old bull.

Administrators Horton Posted February 11, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted February 11, 2013 @rico interesting bets. I wondered if anyone would go for for the 1/4 - 1/2 scores. If they get through 41 that is a very very good bet.

Baller_ RichardDoane Posted February 11, 2013 Baller_ Share Posted February 11, 2013 couldn't decide between Nate and Andy, so I'm betting on both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller greghayes Posted February 11, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 11, 2013 AM doesn't like to lose - $10 straight up winner and $5 on Asher as my backup. Experience often beats talent as I see it. Good luck to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skoot1123 Posted February 11, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 11, 2013 I have heard word that you don't mess with @mapple in a competition. He's a different animal when in compete mode. Here's for hoping some scores are in the 43 off range! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Shortenit Posted February 11, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 11, 2013 Mapple is the GOAT but it will be pretty tough to hang with the young guys at 36. Will be fascinating to find out. If the wind does come up (think that's why they moved it earlier a few days) I'd think that helps Mapple, he can ski in anything. And moving it earlier may benefit Willy, less practice time for the other guys.....Wonder who will be driving? Coni and Carlos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted February 11, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 11, 2013 I wonder if they brought in one of the "big name" drivers in. Chad, Becky, Les, Will ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted February 11, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted February 11, 2013 Current bets are Asher 23 Smith 13 Parrish 25 T-Gas 3 Mapple 24 I will convert to odds or something tonight if I can. The short answer is if you bet a $1 on T-Gas and he wins you take home about $30 ($93 in the pool if you are one of three that bets on T-Gas you get 1/3 of the pool) Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes ★ Baller Video Coaching System Become a Supporting Member or make a One-time Donation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patmaster Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Will and Andy seem to be the strongest candidates, based on track record. But the other three could get into 43off and it would be no big surprise. Truly a "dream" tournament! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted February 11, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 11, 2013 I think Travers and Rogers would have been great additions to the tournament. I think JT was invited but did not attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Mapple Posted February 11, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 11, 2013 It looks like you guys are having fun! Good reading. We are having fun down here. It is quite fun to watch when any one of the skiers heads out for a set, there are lots of eyes on the water, even though very nonchalantly!! There is a very good atmosphere, and lots of laughs...but skiing does get a little serious. (OK a lot serious) Interesting set for me today, thought I would just take a few passes as I am just trying to get time and used to 36 again, when Will and Nate get in the boat!! A little pucker factor then! Wednesday evening we are sending Nate down to the Acapulco Cliff divers. He needs to buy a speedo first though! LOL Now that would be a pic! Figure I could give you guys a little insight, kinda like F1 and how they post practice times.... Todays scores: Will 5@41 Andy 3@41..(the body is suffering, and day off tomorrow!!) CP 2.5@41 Nate 1.5 @41 TGas...was spending today doing some testing with his setup, and not pushing the scores. This is a dream week for several Ski Paradise guests, and we are all very thankful to them. But this is a dream week for me, just to hang out with these guys is very cool. @horton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted February 12, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted February 12, 2013 Updates Asher 24 Smith 33 Parrish 25 T-Gas 5 Mapple 26 4 - 4.5 @ 39 1 4-4.5 @ 41 2 1/4- 1/2 @ 41 1 3 - 3.5 @ 41 1 1 - 1.5 @ 43 6 1/4- 1/2 @ 43 2 The ball count and the skiers are each a different pool. If you get on right you split the winning depending on your # of bets ($). As an example: There are currently 5 bets on T-Gas. If I were to drop $1 on the Italian to bring the total to 6 and he wins I would get 1/6th of all pool. That is $18.33. To spice it up if anyone gets the skier and the final winning score I will double the payout. To be clear I will double the payout for that bet not for everyone.

Administrators Horton Posted February 12, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted February 12, 2013 The pot is now over $150 Need I remind you guys the T-Gas is past World champ. If he wins a few will walk away with a pocket of cash.

Baller MattP Posted February 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 12, 2013 The BallOfScores feed is all set up and ready to go when the event starts. It looks like the event is moved up to Wednesday & Thursday. You can follow live scores in the BallOfScores iPhone app, on the front page of the website(click home), and it will be on the side of the forum where Instagram usually is.

Baller GregDavis Posted February 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 12, 2013 Gordon, you hit it out of the park on this one. Congratulations on having the idea, then making it happen. Hats off to ya Bud. Easy to come up with ideas, different story to implement those ideas. Great job. We'll all be tuned in. Greg Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted February 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 12, 2013 This is a really cool idea. Next time Gordon should include like the top two big dawgs (if they were willing to ski 36) just for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller MattP Posted February 13, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 13, 2013 Not this year. Gordon said next year possibly. Corey Vaughan will be up in the air with a camera I hear. I also have line an onsite reporter to keep BallOfScores updated. Jenna Morgan will be doing this for us. So no grumbling about not getting scores they will be steaming all over the site and in the app. @Horton can we get an update on the odds? Decide on a time to close the contest?

Baller_ Wish Posted February 13, 2013 Baller_ Share Posted February 13, 2013 Wait, after reading that my bets are for ping pong not slalom =) Also, would there be room for this side by side courses at SOAKED with the 4 buoy course format? Now that would get the crowd going as there are so many non-skier spectators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted February 13, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 13, 2013 Soaked? I don't think the lake is wide enough where they hold the event. There is a massive fountain in the way. I think it could be done on the other side? This could be done at Masters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted February 13, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted February 13, 2013 The lake used for Soaked last year is wide enough I think but it is mega short. Would be one heck of a show just watching the drivers.
