wsox8 10 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I am sure these buffoons have 35 Maple Leafs jokes lined up.. I am assuming there is no salary cap in the premier league..I am also sure that Manchester United spends bazillionty pounds more than the worst team in England..I would love this in NHL.I think it would be cool if all sports had it especially baseball or if they at least changed it so there were just 2 divisions and everyone could play everyone. I wish they would change a lot of scheduling/divisional changes in baseball. Link to post Share on other sites

I wish they would change a lot of scheduling/divisional changes in baseball.I dont really understand the English example..Are the lower leagues equivalent to AAA , AA, A and so on? How are the other teams in the lower leagues, are they way worse or slightly worse? Link to post Share on other sites

How are the other teams in the lower leagues, are they way worse or slightly worse?there are 92 teams in the english league system.20 in the epl - bottom 3 get relegated to the championship.24 in the championship - top 2 automatically promoted to the epl, with 1 additional team promoted after a playoff of the 3rd-6th placed teams. 3 teams relegated to league 1.24 in league 1 - top 2 automatically promoted to the championship, with 1 additional team promoted after a playoff of the 3rd-6th placed teams. 4 teams relegated to league 2.24 in league 2 - top 3 automatically promoted to league 1, with 1 additional team promoted after a playoff of the 4th-7th placed teams. 2 teams relegated to conference (non-league).each team is its own entity and has no official affiliation with any other. it is conceivable for a team to go from league 2 to premiership in 4 years (hull and fulham both did it in less than a decade).

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I root for Fiorentina in the Italian Serie A, and they dropped from being compettitve for the top of the best division to the fourth tier in the early part of this decade. They had to declare the Italy sports version of bankruptcy, sold off a bunch of their better players (well, they couldnt pay anyone anyway), kept a couple, and then worked their way back to Serie A over the course of the next couple of years. Its a strange sordid story full of Italian soccer politics, but it was an impressive feat all the same.I have good friends over there whose allegiance is not far removed from the Serge-like devotion realm. Naming of firstborn kinda stuff, but it works well in Italy. Link to post Share on other sites

rinswun 6 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 what is this?there is another whole semi-professional system here. the top tier of which is known as 'the conference'. teams that go up from the conference then become professional. Link to post Share on other sites

He won $2,027.09 plus his bet back (total - $2,122.56).Basically, he picked 5 games and bet one team would score in the first inning for each. I can't tell if it was an E/W bet or straight parlay.

Babying 613 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Got back from the CNE poker room. It was brutal I got sucked out so many times on guys fishing for flushes. Also a guy hit his trip Queens on my Kings. My mind was blown away and I was not in the right frame of mind.Saw Bryan of the Red Ravens. Also I was sitting beside this blond lady (mid 40s and okay looking). She asked me if I was Chinese or Korean. She then told me that her partner was Chinese. I was like HUH, "PARTNER????". I then switch tables to play 10/20 with my buddy. I should have stayed with the other table. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I love limit.Lol @ getting mad at losing to flush draws though, you understand flush draws have like 20-30% equity depending on when it is in the hand, and they're basically never not getting the odds to call, right? Backdoor flush draws alone even have the correct odds sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites

Backdoor flush draws alone even have the correct odds sometimes.I also prefer limit as I grew up playing the game. I was playing limit holdem before most of these no limit guys heard of texas holdem.Limit is a much more complicated game than it looks..No limit players are always making the wrong plays, they almost never fold on the river and lose a lot of bets..Limit is about saving bets and making value bets ..

Backdoor flush draws alone even have the correct odds sometimes.Yes I do understand the odds. Why however does everyone always hit their draws against me. I really don't mind losing to good flush draws but when it is 4-2, q-6, etc. I run so frickin bad. Link to post Share on other sites
