How about this... Duke sweeps, I win a pie. Carolina gets a split or better, you win the pie. But, if they face each other a third time (in the ACC tourney) and Duke takes the series 2-1, it is a push and no one eats delicious pie.

Wheat:
I'm good with that...you know I'm a gambler.
Yes, you're 2-0 on pie bets...I credit that to variance ��
So unless Duke beats Cheats twice more including the ACC Tourney, Jason owes Wheat a pie. Not looking good Jason - I'm sorry.
This thread should be renamed to “Life of Pie”
Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?
Brian Bersticker... I saw him outside of outback on 15-501 during one of several 75 minute waits for a table. He was never good enough to actually hate, but my dislike for him went up a notch because I knew he'd be seated before me. Didn't he grab his crotch while hanging on the rim once? I'm glad wheat lost that bet... any player that annoying in mediocrity would be insufferable as a star.
I shake my head at how hard you guys are on a freshman point guard...maybe you might want to consider he was matched up with Berry, a senior final four MVP, and a very talented defender and shooter in Jr. Kenny Williams...and it was his first big rivalry game.
I didn't think he played that bad, I think his opponents played better.
You should make Grayson pay for it. He has no excuse
UNC is the 6 seed, Wheat, so I have some pie coming to me.
I do wish Clemson had snuck out a win at Syracuse so it didn't come down to a tiebreaker. But I am comforted by a few things:
(1) I think I probably win more easily if not for the devastating injuries suffered by Notre Dame (Colson, some Farrell), Clemson (Grantham), and Miami (Brown).
(2) When you bet that UNC would finish as a top-3 seed, I'm sure the record you had in mind wasn't 11-7.
(3) Since Miami, Clemson, NCSU, and UNC all simultaneously occupy 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th place, mathematically it's not sound to say that all these teams are "tied for third", imo (and UNC lost the tiebreakers to be seeded 6th). UNC is a 4.5th-place team (as are Miami, Clemson, NCSU, and UNC).
Can't wait to pick out my pie.
It may make sense to wait a few days. Unless Duke and UNC play again in the ACC tourney and Duke wins, I will owe Wheat a pie and the most efficient thing would probably be for me to send one to you.

Screw efficiency. Don’t agree to this, Troublemaker! Wheat owes you a pie, not Jason. You deserve to savor your personal victory, and I am confident that the taste of Jason’s pie would significantly pale in comparison to Wheat’s.
Same goes for Wheat. You can make good with Troublemaker while still fully enjoying the spoils of whatever bet you made with Jason. You would have earned it, and you should definitely enjoy it!
Congrats Trouble!
You are a hell of a good gambler. I'm impressed by your negotiation of this bet. Just shortly upthread bedeviled links the negotiations of this bet. Note that if Trouble had originally agreed to Wheat's proposition (that UNCheat finishes at least tied for top 3 in ACC) that Trouble would have technically lost this bet, or possibly a push due to lack of clarity. But Trouble carefully clarified this scenario, even using UNCheat's final record if they tied for 3rd with multiple other teams. So they agreed on ACC Tourney seeding for simplicity. This exact scenario occurred.
So Trouble won the pie fair and square. And he won it in the sweetest possible way, Duke beats the cheats in Cameron in a game with all the stakes (he loses if we lose).
Enjoy! Agreed, Wheat should purchase the pie and ship it, regardless of other bets.
Congrats!!
I'd go for double or nothing...
Just sayin'...
JasonEvans, who are you rooting for Wed night when Syracuse plays the Cheats?
(There is only one right answer, even though that outcome would cost you a pie).

I hope it’s humble pie.
