Splitting The Championship

• sportchampps

  So I'm in the championship in a league this week and my oppenent offered to just split the prize money. He is actually favored by 10 in the projections. How do you feel about splitting the pot.

  If you both agree on it then that is your choice. I don't think it should matter to anyone else in the league either. If they have a problem with it then maybe they should have made it to the finals.
  
  As for me it's not something I would ever do just because no matter the projections I'm always going to think my team is better and will win and I am a huge gambler.

  My thoughts exactly, especially the gambler part, lol. I just made a side bet with the person who missed the championship game against me in one league because I told him he'd lose, haha.

  A little bit of something is a whole lot more than nothing.

  Lol nice! Yeah I'm playing in the championship game in my main league. The guy I am playing against really doesn't have a lot of money or else I would try and do a side bet with him. He and I spent all summer talking about fantasy stuff tho then after our draft he said that he would see me in the championship... pretty crazy it actually happened.
  
  sportschampps how much money are you talking about splitting?

  To me, winning these things is supposed to be an exercise in making football-related decisions, not in gaming the system.

  What are the pots for 1st and 2nd place? Is there a big difference?

  Fuck splitting it.

  In a league where 1st gets $700 and 2nd $200
  
  Right now I'm favored by 15. I think I would do $600 $300 though. Buy in was $100 so I know I'm at least making $100 so I don't have much incentive to split
  
  15 seems like a lot to be favored by in the finals right, or am I going nuts?

  I'm favored by 30 in one and 16 in the other, but I know it doesn't mean anything really.

  By 30? That sounds like a ton, is your team that good or his that bad?

  My team (2 QBs can start):
  Tony Romo
  Jay Cutler (started Jason Campbell or Carson when he was injured)
  Jamaal Charles
  Chris Johnson
  Brandon Marshall
  Josh Gordon
  Jordan Cameron
  Cardinals D/ST
  Adam Vinatieri
  
  His team:
  Nick Foles
  Adrian Peterson
  Knowshon Moreno
  Calvin Johnson
  Torrey Smith
  Riley Cooper
  Vernon Davis
  Bengals D/ST
  Phil Dawson
  
  I'm #1 in scoring for the year and he's #2. Probably my best draft this year.
  
  EDIT: He just picked up Kirk Cousins to replace Riley Cooper I'm guessing, which takes it down to an 18 point favorite for me.

  I'm favored by 20 but projections are meaningless.
• SportsAndLady

  

  I posted this in the other thread but I split the pot this year, and I was a heavy favorite.
  
  Peyton
  B marsh
  Josh Gordon
  Antonio brown
  Lacy
  Shady McCoy
  Vernon Davis
  
  $575 to the winner of this game, $225 to the loser.
  
  He offered me to split where I get $480 and he gets $320.
  
  I took it.

  Definitely better for you, but if I were him I would've rolled the dice.

  Yep. They really don't mean shit. I look at them but don't put any of my hopes into them whether I'm projected to win or lose.
• sportchampps

  Payouts in ours are 600 300 so a split would be 450 each. I took the split.
