If you transfer $3k to a 3rd party for holding until then Cup is over, then I'll go for $20.
Cause honestly, I just don't believe you can/will cover a $7500 loss. Call me crazy.

fair enough.
Thats $30. Im not taking any more bets on the USA now just incase something shocking happens. |
#28
|

|

that means you are taking my 5, correct?
|
#29
|
||||
|
||||
yes sir.
Im taking your $5, TPs $5, and SHabis $20. Good luck i guess |

Are you transferring $9000 to a third party?
The only reason I ask is because I know it's like pulling teeth for me to get the $10 you owe me after each of our league tourneys for our last longer bets. With varying excuses every time, eejit is exactly 1 for 3 in transferring what he owes me on the same day - including one time that was just three days after I sent him $130 for some W$. Where does all that money go??? Hell if I know. But the point is, I too would be a lot more comfortable if you would set the $9k aside now. Otherwise, it feels like I'm making a longshot bet that I can't win, which is pretty much equivalent to throwing money out the window. If you are willing to set the money aside, I'll gladly go another $5 to $10. You said you could cover $50 worth of action, and you're only up to $30 so far, right? |

I'm betting $20. However, the bet is off if eejit does not have the $3000 to a 3rd party by June 12, 12:00AM est. The rest would be paid to me no less than 24 hours after the victory is final.
Since he is the only person we mutually "know," I would be comfortable letting TP be the middle man (if he would, of course). I'd also trust Lou to do this as well. I'll transfer my wager as well.

Ordinarily, this would be fine... but seeing how I'm a part of this bet, it may be best to use someone else.
Thinking about it, I'd be ok with eejit only transferring 100x my bet amount (this should be up to each better) to a third party. So, if he accepts my $10 bet, I'd want him to transfer $1000 to a third party, with $2000 more payable to me within 24 hours of the victory. If he decides to only take the $5 bet I first offered, then the numbers would be $500 and $1000. Just a sign of good faith, and enough that I wouldn't get completely screwed if he decided to dcooper us. |

if ya'll are this worried that he won't pay, i dont want to take it. count me out.

Lets answer a few question now shall we.
#1 - I have Always paid you the league last longer within 24 hours max, ive paid u 3 times. Like i said, i dont play on stars much, and i always forget to leave enough to pay you if i lose, so i move it round and then send it you. Youve never had to ask me for it, and i havent not sent it. #2 - I dont have that much money online, do i sound like someone with $9,000 online?? To answer another point, i will not be depositing $9,000 online "incase" the USA wins the world cup. I realise i may sound like an ass, but in no fucking way am i sending $9,000or any significant amount of money, to anyone but myself or my mum Either you trust me, or you dont. #3 - i said im only covering $30 now. So i aint taking no more bets on the USA, ever! I was crazy enough to give the -EV odds of 300:1 in the first place! Ill keep RD $3 straight up on brazil though, thats fine. So if you wanna cancel the bet thats fine, i didnt realise id have to go through all that to win $30. if you dont, i will hold my odds and keep the $30 of bets placed |

I would love to be in on this for $10....or $5.
But anywho, eejit, instead of offering for THEM to back out, YOU could balls up and say, "I shouldn't have offered, because I can't really cover that bet." Don't offer it if you can't come through. P.S. Viva Ecuador!!!! |
#37
|
||||
|
||||
but "anywho" eejit can cover the bet, but as shockingly eejit isnt a loaded as TP or Shabi are, ill be fucked if im putting that much money in the hands of a "third party". Just cancel the whole idea. RD - ill still honour your $3 on Brazil man |
#38
|
||||
|
||||
1-0 baby. COME ON ENGLAND!!
|
#39
|
||||
|

Ok... I'm still on for $5. I'm not happy about you making NO kind of good faith transfer ahead of time, but I'll risk it. I know enough people in England (and need an excuse to go there for a visit anyway), that I'll be able to collect.
Just to clarify though, you CAN and WILL cover my tiny $5 = $1500 bet, right eejit? I mean, that's like 1/4 of the settlement thing you got from your former employer the other day, right? Sounds like leftwing is out, so I guess johnp can take his $5 action? And unless he states otherwise, from his last post, pshabi is out too. But I am definitely in for the $5 we originally agreed on. |

I'm out, because I honestly don't see myself collecting a $6,000 bet from someone on the internet from whereverthehell. So, with the USA a longshot, and it being an even longer shot of eejit coming through, I'll pass.

If the offer is still good I'll happily put down 5 for people that are dropping.
Didn't mean to sound so nasty on the last one. I know you'll stick to your word if you say you will. |

|

I would lay my house on them not winning, can u take that at good credit? :P
|
#43
|

|

Absolutely. Your house vs. $1?
Sound good? |
#45
|
||||
|
||||
I will take TPs $5, and johns $5, thanx for the apology.
Im also sorry if i came across wrong. Have i ever taken a bet and not paid? Do you see Favre in my name |
#46
|
|||
|

Fuckvre was a $5 bet. You were taking bets that would cost you, get read for this:
$9,000 if you lost. There's no such thing as a "sure bet." Little different than Favre. Are you really surprised that people are skeptical in this situation?

Bro,
If TP himself were taking these bets, I think he would've gotten the same response. If I were taking these bets, I'd expect people to question me a bit and to ask for money to be held by a 3rd party. Don't take it personal.

shit im not!
Im looking at it from all sides. The origional offer was a joke, but then TP said hed have $5 on it. I figured hey why not, then you and your big ass mouth said $20 (im kidding) and it went crazy. Ill take the $10, as they seem to be ok with me not sticking it all online. if the USA win, god i hope not, i will pay, fo sho. |
