SIDE BETS
CYBERZAHM LEAGUE
1996

A "pool" means all participants put up the same amount and the 
winner takes all.

A "RR" (round robin) means each participant is making a bet with 
every other participant.

 1.  RR, $3 per point in the final standings.
     Gabes, Andy, Al, Fox

     Points were: Fox (38.0)  Andy (29.5)  Albert (22.0)  Gabes (20.0)

     Fox +127.50  Andy +25.50  Albert -64.50  Gabes -88.50

     Gabes, Andy, Hans, Fox

     Gabes -10  Andy -10  Hans -10  Fox +30

 3.  Pool, $20 for owning the Cy Young winner.
     Gabes, Andy, Al

     Pool, $20 for owning the MVP.
     Gabes, Andy, Al

     Pool, $20 for owning the rookie of the year.
     Andy, Al

     Muskrat's Hollandsworth wins ROY.
     Muskrat's Smoltz will win Cy Young.
     MVP hasn't been announced yet but its obvious it won't be anyone
     from Gabes, Al, or Andy's teams.

     Therefore nobody wins/loses anything here.

 4.  $20 for each no hitter.
     $20 for each time a player hits four HRs in one game.
     $20 for each time a player gets five hits in one game.
     Gabes, Andy

     05/11  Andy    Grudzielanek goes 5 for 5
     05/23  Andy    Finley goes 5 for 5
     08/24  Gabes   McGriff goes 5 for 5
     09/??  Andy    Nomo throws a no hitter

     Andy +40   Gabes -40
     
 5.  Pool, $10 each, most all stars in your "set" lineup.
     Gabes, Andy, Hans, Fox

     Results are:   Fox wins!!!!

     Andy's Mats:  4  Sheffield, Biggio, Grudzlnk, Kendall 
     Hans' Ables:  3  Gwynn, Williams, KBrown
     Gabe's Busts: 3  LJohnson, McGriff, CJones
     Fox's Foxes:  6  Bonds, Burks, Young, Larkin, Leiter, Bottalico

     For the record, the other two teams:

     John's Rats:  5  Piazza, Glavine, PMartinez, JSmoltz, TWorrell
     Al's Panzas:  5  Bichette, Bagwell, Hundley, Maddux, Wohlers.

     The all stars that we didn't draft are: Steve Traschel and Ozzie Smith.

     Andy -10   Fox +30   Gabes -10   Hans -10

 6.  Fox vs Andy, $5, "Kendall will have a better year than CJohnson"
     Fox says no. Andy says yes.

     Fox concedes this one to Andy although it was closer than you might
     think with Kendall winning average .300 to .218 but Johnson winning
     homers 13 to 3.  Kendall also won rbis and sbs by small amounts.

     Andy +5   Fox -5

 7.  Fox vs Andy, $5, "Kendall is at least the 8th best roto 
     catcher in the NL"
     Fox says no. Andy says yes.

     This is interesting.  I claim that Lopez, Servais, Taubensee, Piazza,
     Fletcher, Hundley, Santiago, Pagnozzi, Flaherty and maybe Reed had
     better roto years than Kendall.  Look at the numbers. What do you
     think?  What does Andy say?

     Andy conceded when faced with irrefutable numerical evidence.

     Andy -5   Fox +5
