He's willing to give away $25 without an expected return, and with no risk to you. How is that not fair

DOn't add fuel to the fire, it says he has to give $25 to charity if SA wins.



Yeah, so what?

because lucky, i'm not after his money, NOR will i take such a ludicrous bet.

I will however suggest that he donate that money to a charity IF the NJ Nets win. I don't want his money, i just want to see if he will back up what he says.

Wrong, btw, i change title of other thread.

I took your bet, but with the change that it go to a charity. i'm not after your money.

For my sanity and because I do have an active life outside of ATOT, I will post regarding this matter in this thread only. Say what you will about me as much as you want in the other one, I don't care.

So let me get this straight. Whoever loses gives $25 to a charity of their choice, right? And are you agreeing to my other demands? The bet is not valid without them.

when i don't take it seriously i don't post. i'll go for significant periods posting only 2 or 3 times a day, then one of these will happen and my posts counts SHOOT way up.

:shrug;

what is one to do?

uhhh, speaking of which none of this will go down until you change the title of your thread, difference being my title was never insulting, it was a challenge, yours is insulting.

technically it's still not 25:1 odds.

i'm still putting up $25.00. You still have not convinced me that you believe that NJ has virtually no chance at winning. since that's what the initial challenge was all about, i'd like to see the odds. I'll put up whatever to charity, you put up whatever to charity, but odds are the key here.

Well, you can't really have that much variance because you havn't been here long enough to have variance. It's based on how many days you've been here against your post count. So, there really isn't that much fluctuation in your posts/day, unless your duration of time here is short compared to how many posts you have.
Now, for example, I will never be able to get a high post/day count unless I start ripping out like 100-200 posts/day.

I guess I have such a low ratio... because "I have a life". ;) :D

I think NJ has virtually no chance of winning. That is why I am betting you. If you win, you can rub it in my face. Isn't that enough, or are you petulant enough to keep insisting on this idiotic odds argument? I think you are using it as a way out of the bet if it doesn't go the way you like. I will not change my thread title. You felt the need to bash me, so I am simply doing the same thing. The thread title will forever remain as it is.

Either take the bet I have on the table, or I will have the mods lock this thread up and will completely ignore your inane drivel from now on.

hahahaha

as you said NJ has VIRTUALLY no chance of winning, IF so, then you would have NO problems with taking odds.

that's WHAT ODDS DO. They test the resolve of the people betting.

Take the odds or admit that you dont' actually believe it. simple. sheesh. some people just don't know how to back off ludicrous statements.

you keep going on about MY word, i've NEVER claimed that NJ had better than EVEN odds of winning. I have said again and again the NJ is the UNDERDOG, hence WHY would i take a 1:1 bet??

Do you really think i'm that stupid??

Betting you with real money shows my resolve. The fact that it is public and you can rub it in my face shows my conviction.

However, you insisting on taking zero risk in a bet does nothing to show your conviction. Remember, you are the one that started the insults and accusations. I even made it easy on you by suggesting you give it to charity. If you cannot take that bet, you will get no other from me.

Do you bother reading ANY of my posts??

The bet was NEVER about me, it was about whethor or not you really believe NJ has VIRTUALLY no chance of winning. If i refuse to take an even odds bet it means NOTHING except what i've already claimed that NJ IS THE UNDERDOG.

I don't understand why this is soo difficult for you to comprehend.

before you beg off so easily, You are the one that PM'd me calling me childish for insulting you and yet you creat this thread.

I've never called you childish for insulting me, at least i'm consistent, You on the other hand ARE a hypocrite because apparently it's ok for you to insult me but not me to insult you.

Where? I posted a bet that was fair. But just to satisfy the colusseum crowd, I will make another. I will put up my $25 to LeeTJ's nothing. It has to be a SA / NJ series. And I am betting for SA. No charity, no other demands. Those are better odds than he requested.

Good enough?

if i do take the bet it has NOTHING to do with this thread.

Read my threads.

You claimed that NJ has VIRTUALLY NO CHANCE, IF you really believe this TAKE THE ODDS OR Admit that you don't really believe it.

IS that too hard for you to understand??

Can someone else explain this to him?? that even odds bet DOES not prove that he believes that NJ has VIRTUALLY NO CHANCE at winning??
