    Default Just to make sure I'm not goddamn retarded

    I was trying to explain to a group of 30 people what an over/under line is.

    I used this example:

    Imagine that the day Wilt Chamberlain was drafted, your buddy says: Man that guys a stud, I'll bet he sleeps with 1000 women before he retires. You say, no way, he's a class dude, I'll take the under.
    And 5 years later you lose the bet.

    Answer Poll now:

    This convo occured after the joke.

    Lagkiller: explain your joke, I don't get it.

    Me: Which one?

    Lagkiller:Over Undre

    Me: One: Do you know what an over/under line is in gambling?

    Lagkiller: Yes

    Me: So if you took the under on 1000 women that he slept with, you would have lost.... the day he was drafted.... IE He slept with over 1000 women

    Lagkiller: Still waiting for a punchline

    me: umm srs?

    Lagkiller: maybe it's just me, I'm pretty dense from being so tired.

    Me: How many women did wilt chamberlain sleep with during his tenure with the NBA?

    Lagkiller: No idea

    Me: omg.

    from wiki.

    20000 women = 1.14 women every day LOL


    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilt_Ch...women.22_claim

    [edit] Love life and "20,000 women" claim
    Although shy and insecure as a teenager, adult Chamberlain became well-known for his womanizing. As his lawyer Seymour "Sy" Goldberg put it: "Some people collect stamps, Wilt collected women."[107] Swedish Olympic high jumper Annette Tannander, who met him when he was 40 and she 19, remembers him as a bona fide pick-up artist who was extremely confident yet respectful: "I think Wilt hit on everything that moved... [but] he never was bad or rude."[107] Many of Chamberlain's personal friends testified he had a "magnetic personality", once had 23 women in 10 days, had no problems organizing a threesome (or more), and particularly enjoyed a TV skit on the show In Living Color in which a mother and her daughter approach a Vietnam Wall-like list of women who slept with him, both of them pointing out that their names are on it.[107]

    In 1991, Chamberlain wrote his second autobiography, A View from Above. There, the lifelong bachelor claimed he had sex with 20,000 women. For this to be true, he would have had to had sex with 1.14 women per day from the age of 15 up until the day of his death, a rate of almost eight women a week. (One wag asked if that number was "regular season only, or does that include the playoffs?") Quickly, he became target for jokes and jibes, and fellow African-American superstar Arthur Ashe was highly critical, blasting Chamberlain for embarrassing black men and fueling prejudices about their sexual behavior. Chamberlain defended himself: "I was just doing what was natural - chasing good-looking ladies, whoever they were and wherever they were available" and pointed out he never started a relationship with a married woman.[113] In a 1999 interview shortly before his death, Chamberlain regretted not explaining the sexual climate at the time of his escapades, and warned other men who admired him for it, closing with the words: "Having a thousand different ladies is pretty cool, I have learned in my life I've found out that having one woman a thousand different times is much more satisfying."[78] Chamberlain also acknowledged he never came close to marrying, and had no intention of raising any children.[32]

    Cherry believes that Chamberlain's extreme sex drive was fueled from the female rejection he had experienced as a teenager, causing him to overcompensate.[107] Although his life was highly promiscuous, his lifelong friend and on-and-off girlfriend Lynda Huey, eleven years his junior, said: "He had an inability of combining friendship and sexuality."[114] Shaw added: "Wilt never liked to admit a weakness... [but] you cannot be married and be Superman... you cannot appear invulnerable to your mate."[115]

    averaged over the entire span it is 1.14 a day. when you include multiple women in 1 day (or at 1 time) it becomes more plausible. but then again, you would have to lose count and just make up a ballpark figure at some point

    Never read any stickies or announcements
    your example sucks. while it's not technically wrong, it will make idiots (e.g. your friend) concentrate not on what over/under is, but instead a whole bunch of other things, like wilt chaimberlain's sexual or basketball prowess.

    theory: all that sex contributed to wilt becoming one of the greatest basketball players of all time. I mean, it's a great stress-killer and fantastic cardiovascular conditioning, both obviously very important to an elite athlete.

    but what came first, the sex or the basketball greatness? or was it a synergistic type of effect. it starts out he's okay at basketball, and gets the odd lay, then things snowball from there (no pun intended) and soon doing better in both until he plateaus at orgies and points whenever and wherever he wants.
