If you must know, it's going to be voter turn out. The People are very angry at Reid and Obama, that is a very powerful emotion that will drive people to the polls to get rid of reid much more strongly than those that would want him in.

People that want reid out are simply much more motivated to vote than those that want him in.

Yes, yes, we know. "We the people", "take our country back" blah blah blah blah.

Chicken? Seriously? Keep making my point for me.

Tell me, what part of her hiding away since primary except for the oh so stellar appearance on fox & friends leads you to believe that her completely ridiculous and out of the mainstream ideas will get her elected. Chicken?

Keep making my point for me. Talk all big and sure of yourself that Reid is going to win, then when you get called on it and have a bet offered you turn it down.

You look like a big fat puss. Keep throwing your tantrum and bringing up Fox and Friends, as if that has anything to do with you pussing on a bet.

Ok. How about her suggesting "2nd amendment remedies" to the "Reid problem"??? That seems kind of kookish?

Keep up the grade school name calling bullying routine since you don't have anything else to go on. Its kind of fitting actually.

So I assume you are chickening out of the bet still?


Gotcha.

More dodging.

Just admit that you really dont think Reid is going to pull this one out. If you did, you would happily agree to the bet.

I think Reid will win for the reasons I've stated previously. Reasons which you refuse to address. Instead, you insist on reverting to some sort of childish schoolyard bullying antics since you've got nothing else.

Not dodging, I just don't gamble. And since its just you and the resident loon in chief that are yapping about a bet, I feel quite comfortable in my position. No one takes either of you seriously.

I dont need to address them. If you have such good reasons for him winning, why arnt you taking my money?

Anyone that thinks Reid will win is a loon.

NV is in the toss-up category and Rasmussen historically leans a good 5 points right, no one takes them terribly seriously: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2010/senate/nv/nevada_senate_angle_vs_reid-1517.html

Besides, who's dumb enough to make an Internet bet with someone that not only won't pay up, but in an NV election that from every indication will be extraordinarily tightly contested? And over a measly sum like $50? That's a pretty wimpy bet to be acting so tough. Make it at least $250 before talking trash, lol.

Wont pay up? You missed the post where I offered to send my money to a respected neutral 3rd party, such as Hayabusa.


Ill go $250. You game First?

Why would I if he doesnt want to make the bet?

You serious?

Because it's easy to pretend you'll do it over the Internet.

Also, if you want to go 1k I'm game.

No you're not. Hell, I bet if I downgraded it to $500 you wouldn't do it because you know you can't bet big money on something that could go either way, which is why you started out with a wimpy $50 bet. That's pocket change, the type of stuff you lose on the street. Start betting in the thousands on something you think is a foregone conclusion because only then will this e-tough guy stuff be taken seriously. Actually, even then it wouldn't. :D

I dont know how to make myself clearer. If you or that other guy wants to make a bet, just say how much and we can give our money to a neutral 3rd party. Sitting here and saying I wouldnt do that after I make post after post saying I'm more than willing if you would just agree to the bet is a little silly.


Name your amount First, and we can both send it off the Hayabusa to hold. If you think I'm bullshitting you, agree to a bet and we can go through with it.


*edit*

I have no problem with a $500 bet. Just say the magic words and its a bet, First.

It's not silly since you can say anything. You could say you're Superman but people still realize you live with your parents or something. Doesn't actually mean anything until you do something.

How about this; send $5000 via PayPal, today, to him and I'll send $5000 as soon as I confirm you've done this. You game Biff?

Let me get this through your stupid fucking head. I'm not going to make a bet unless he AGREES to it. Why would I waste a fucking paypal fee for no reason?


And 5k is too much for me financially right now. I could cover it but I need some spending money until november. I'll happily do 1k or 500 as you mentioned earlier. Just let me know

Huh? You didn't get Haybusa to agree to it yet? And why the hell would you care about losing a $1.25 on a PayPal fee? You serious? :D

You won't do 5K because you're not actually certain Angles will win. That's been my whole point this entire time; you don't have the nads to go all the way because you know Angles isn't guaranteed to win. Reid winning would surprise no one, and same goes for Angle. Regardless of their actual stances, that's just the statistical reality so far. It's why your bloviating is so damn transparent. It's why $50 impresses no one.

But to be fair, even if you could afford $5K it wouldn't necessarily mean much; it could be someone else's money, like your friends or more likely your parents/inheritance. It's why the constant Biff-like betting gags are transparent; they mean nothing without substance.

No bet is a sure thing First. But I'll do 500 bucks with you if you want. Bet? I'm very confident reid will lose. Nothings for sure of course, but I'm 500 bucks confident. That would make 1000 bucks I have in this game, 500 to you and 500 to Angle.

Bet?

I gamble a good amount, my word is my bond.

You are retarded. I couldnt get the other dude to agree to the bet, not Hayabusa taking both parties money. How can I make this any easier? How did you pass high school?

Do you want to bet $500 on this? I got $500 Angle wins. I am certain she will win, I just cannot live without that 5k right now. I could live without 500 until November. I'll even do 1k if you want

Put up or shut up First.

That's a 1000 bucks of easy money for First. If he's so certain, then he'll put up or shut up. Even if it's only 100 bucks, it's still 100 bucks of easy money according to him.

"oh, I can't be bothered with only taking 100 or 500 bucks from you" is a pussy's excuse. He's not 100 or 500 bucks confident. Basically, a pussy. If you want to back out of the offer of a bet then just say "I don't want to bet that much". That's honorable, so how much do you want to bet? We shake hands and make a promise.

We having a saying in the office - "Are you willing to bet your paycheck on this decision?" If one is truly certain they will answer yes, but only if they know it is a sure thing. Otherwise their penis shrivels and they shut the fuck up.

You guys are using actual monetary wagers, with people over the interwebs, to posture your condifence on an election outcome?

What a bunch of idiots.

I've paid out plenty bets to complete strangers before. I absolutely will not welch. It's a thing called honor and commitment. Same with poker games with strangers, I cannot just say "sorry man, not gonna pay you". If I do that then I get to deal with the consequences. My word is my bond.

How much do you wish to wager?

Just my observation, but I don't believe First wants to bet, first he says 250, then nick said he was game, then first said it had to be 1000, nick said he was game, now its Five thousand. First never had the intention of betting in the first place.
