He must be crazy!

A guy I'm playing against tonight just bet me that he'll hold me to under 18 points in our basketball game. Is he crazy? It seems so. I would have taken any bet up to 23 points.

This is where my poker comes in handy: He says he knows my game inside-out. But I know what he thinks of my game and how I play (pull-up jumpers all day). So because I know what he's thinking I will do, I'm going to counter that with doing what I know he doesn't think I'll do. The first half will consist of a lot of pump fakes on the jumpers and hesitation moves at the top of the key and then drives to the bucket. He's about 6'5" and I'm only 6'0" so I'm going to have to make it quick to prevent his recovery blocks from behind. The only thing I'm worried about is that if I get around 15, he might try to take me out or hammer me when I'm going to the basket. I'll try to get someone to take some pics and/or video. I'm estimating that I will go for at least 25.

Here is his email to me:
