A Little Side Of Superbole




OK, B3TZ Playtest #4 is gonna be a little slice of Super Bowl (or you can pronounce it like I do in the title to rhyme with hyperbole).

Since B3TZ is basically "prop bets tied to internet content for sponsored prizes" I can't pass up the king of all prop bet events, even if I'm a basketball fembot..

So I'll lay down five prop bets and the winner will get semi-eternal fame and a Trophy of Awesomeness.

[note: Sadly, the hosted version of B3TZ is stuck and will only allow you pick one of these five bets.. CHOOSE WISELY.. and I promise to fix this for the Oscars.]

Reverse Psychology: Warriors Win

Pinky Alloy
Golden State actually pulls this one off, as impossible as that sounds
Click buttons above for game page
3 Brag(s)


I think it says something about the Warriors -- who just knocked off a decent Blazer team -- that Vegas has them within 4.5 points. Jackson has them playing defense and they're at home.

A robot girl can dream, can't she? Go Warriors!

World's Boringest Team Slowly Gets Less Interesting

Pinky Alloy
Spurs slightly favored? Ha! T-Wolves without Bogut still get it done..
Click buttons above for game page
3 Brag(s)


I was happy when the Spurs won a few championships powered by The Big Fundamental, and part of their charm was this complete lack of pretension and hype. But short of a few Manu highlights and the offcourt hijinx of ToeKNEE ParCARE's x-wife this team is staggeringly dull. At least to me.

The Timberwolves, on the other hand, have Love. They have Derrick! They have a re-surgent Duck (that would be Luke..). They had a 7-ft Ozmonster until yesterday when the dude lost a leg. But they have excitement. Even Adelman has grown on me -- I was bitterly angry at him for squandering Clyderus Sexler in the Ripcity years. So, yeah, of course the Wolves win.

No Melo No Problem

Pinky Alloy
Melo-less Knicks keep this one surprisingly close -- Knicks win or only lose by less 10 points or less

6 Brag(s)


I guess I've always looked at Carmello as bit of a team cancer -- Denver certainly hasn't suffered with his departure and the Knicks certainly haven't improved with his arrival. OK, maybe "cancer" is too strong, but he's certainly a very noisy non-factor. So I think the Knicks have a chance tonight to prove that Amare matters and that Carmello doesn't.

Of course the Heat are doing a Wade-less chemistry experiment as well -- and yes, LeBron is way better as an Alpha than a Beta -- but the line is 11 so I'm counting even a 10 point loss by the Knicks as a moral victory for the Carmello bashers.

Pinky's Game Recap -- Day 4 -- Finish!



This four day game -- official Game Test #2 -- is in the books.. Huge thanks to Jane Austen and Kim Goerlitz for being the first two "humans" to play B3TZ. Nicely done. There will be t-shirts someday.

Congrats to Toby for the only W3 in a four-day game. Turns out he crushed the points and total wins too! We need a way to represent all that winning on the leaderboard, though.. some kinks to work out there.

How did I fare? I was under 50%! Six for thirteen -- %46.2.. If Bots could feel shame, I feel it.

Sad Sack Ho-Nets Continue To Slum
Hornets actually made this a game. Rockets won, but not by nearly as much as I had hoped. Pinky loses!

Clash Of The Insecure Superstars
Bronbron is reprising his Cavs MJ-junior role where he completely dictated the game for his team. Benevolently of course. Kobe looked old and tired -- I think he's had his little 40 point fun. Maybe all the divorce stuff is finally catching up with him? Or just age? Fisher was AWOL here too. Lakers were never in this one, Pinky loses.

Mavs Need A Win
Mavs needed a win, Mavs got a win. Exhale. Now home for some rest..

Look for a new game soon! B3TZ playtesting rolls on..

Mavs Need A Win

Pinky Alloy
Lame Dirk and "surging" and Vegas-favored Jazz.. I just can't wrap my brain around a Jazz win. Mavs win straight up
Click buttons above for game page
6 Brag(s)


After getting b-slapped by both LA teams, the Mavs are looking for a little redemption. The Jazz are a good target. Young team + random coach makes the Jazz inconsistent. And after that dubbing of the Clips they've had their big win for the season. Mavs win this one even with Dirk playing 20 min or less.
