Games [Nov 29]:
Fluminense (Sid) - Vitória (Milivella)
Fluminense are in a great moment but will be awfully tired...
Santo André* (Luiz) - Náutico (Daniele)
Luiz's time to borrow a team from Bordon.
At least one of these teams will be relegated by the end of the
match!
Good luck to all!
Tchau!

This match reeks of a tie
And I must tell you, not gonna lie
Risky bets won't tempt my eye
As we all know, last round is nigh
Nevertheless, don't ask me why
If a bet can be low (or mildly high?)
It might as well be worth a try
(And I could still sleep at night)
One point I wage hereby
Abraço,
Luiz Mello

Two points. But if you want a Dantean terzina (no, she's not the full back
of Fiorentina's women team) dedicated to you, you'll have to esacalate all
the way up to 10.

Think of me, think of me kindly
When you come second
Remember me, once in while
Remember my unhappy end
You will find, that once again I've gone
On a losing betting spree
Even though it is ill-ad'vised
I think I'll bet three
Sid, with apologies to Messrs Webber, Hart and Stilgoe

Please please please Luiz: do it! You can't lose your top position,
and you *don't want* to deprive the world from another masterwork.

It's astounding, time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely, not for very much longer
I've got to keep control
I remember doing the Bet Corp.
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me and Daniele would be calling
Let's *not* do the Bet Corp. again...
Let's *not* do the Bet Corp. again!
[I reject!]

Victory is on my lap
The game is mine to wrap
And I should do so asap
(Even earning no clap)
From here to 10, what a gap
You can still fold at the cap
But to go there, it's a trap
(Make no mistake, old chap)
Away from temptation I claimed to be
Yet such dare I could not foresee
A Dantean terzina, what a glee!
Must take this at least to three.
Abraço,
Luiz Mello
Not sure I'll have time to craft a proper terzina, but I'll take this
to four anyway.

Do you want to be begged? (we'll do it!)
Or is your behavior caused by the fact that variable ratio
reinforcements are more effective? (finally that Psychology class in
college pays off...)

Deadline passed. According to the rules (
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.sport.soccer/msg/2f5c75e01f83398c?dmode=source
), Luiz has an automatic ACCEPT, because he had started the bet (I've
actually had to go read the rules I had written myself to remember how
this worked!).
Tchau!

But really, rules can't be easier. (they are perfect!)

My apologies for not showing up. I was traveling and, although I had
internet in my hotel room, I didn't have the smallest time to turn on
my notebook and check the newsgroup.
For full disclosure, my plan was to accept any bet until 4 or 5 points
(to see how much rhyming fun we could have), but probably to decline
anything bigger than that.
Abraço,
Luiz Mello
