I cannot believe GB is favored.

 

[KPENN]

Ugh. I want the packers to win so I refuse to bet on the steelers

 

[KPENN]

I cannot believe GB is favored.

It is surprising

 

[IrishLax]

I was expecting Pitt to be a 3 point favorite or so at which Point I would bet on the pack. This is kinda shocking to me. Steelers were dominant all year and the Pack were very up and down.

 

[KPENN]

Thanks to the steelers I'm now VBroke so screw them. Go Pack!!

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Maybe within the next 2 weeks the line will shift in that direction and end up being Pittsburgh -1 or 2.

I just tried to thief you for 170.45 to leave you with 2 cents. Luckily for you, your funds are safe in the bank.

Lol. You bastard trying to kick me while I'm down

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Did someone just donate you 8 dollars? Or did the bank pay your interest? You definitely jusy had 170.47 like 5 mins ago.

 

[KPENN]

I put money from my last post in the bank. I collect interest in like an hour

As a Steeler fan who grew up in Pittsburgh I think the Packers will win this game. But man how about the Steelers going to their 8th Super Bowl and hunting ring # 7. This will be a classic game from the history of the teams point of view. This year the Steelers were not pretty (fortune smiled on them) but they still have a tremendous 'D'. I'd have to say Green Bay with the hot QB.

They have won 5 superbowls, the refs won Super Bowl XL against Seatle, haha.

Also, I was thinking about that Super Bowl and Bill Cowher and whether or not he would have eventually been fired or if he would still have considered "retirement" had the Steelers not won that Super Bowl. The reason I was thinking about that is because of living in Philly, the debate on sports talk radio is whether or not people think Andy Reid should be fired.

I'm not an Eagle's fan so I understand both points of view. Two or three years ago, their owner, Jeffrey Lurie, said "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result."

 

[Rocket89]

Very surprised that GB is favored too. Rodgers has been playing great, but will the Pack have any success running the football?

 

[The Polish Irishman]

Pitt-24 GB-17

Might need to find a real bookie for this one...

I am a Steeler fan that also grew up in Pittsburgh and now live in Atlanta...What part of Pittsburgh are you from??

What? No betting on the coin toss

I'm still pretty new here. Could someone explain the concept behind "thieving" money from people and what it means to put your money in the bank rather than having cash?

Also, and this is a little off-topic here, but could anyone tell me how you all got the logos of your teams to appear with your avatars? Thanks!

 

[Veer option]

Tough decision. Explosive Packers offense vs a really stingy Steelers defense. Opportunistic Steelers offense vs a very athletic Packers defense.

There's an option somewhere where you can steal VBucks from a user. I'm not exactly sure where it is.

Click on VbPlaza and there is a bank section under there. You can put money in your bank so it can garner interest, but you need to take it out so you can buy things.

For sports teams logos click VbPlaza then at the VbPlaza main and on your right hand side it'll say sports logos. Click on that then the list of sports will be under there.

Thanks, KPENN. Much appreciated. Reps to you.

I will have all of that extra stuff closer to the game. I looked last night this morning but I couldnt find any odds on that stuff yet. Coin Toss, National Anthem Length, Number of penalties, etc will all be included. This, indeed, will be a mega event.

Additionally, I have been trying to thief KPENN for about 2 months now and I have failed miserably each time. Not sure if thieving works anymore. (Just tried again).

Think of vcash as money in a non-interest bearing checking account. Vbucks in your bank account earn interest. The vbPlaza (bank) allows you to shuffle vfunds. You can also navigate your way to places to purchase team logos, buy gifts, donate vBenjamins to other posters and do nefarious mischief – at a cost, of course.

I've been hanging out on this site for a bit and still don't know all the ins and outs, and I'm not talking burgers here. Curiosity, trial and error, and an occasional hint have been my modus operandi. I think an IE 101 tract added to the Welcome message would be helpful but I'm in no position to write one.

Enjoy reading, posting and exploring.
