Board Bets

Other people NOT INVOLVED IN THE BET ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT ME. They were shown how they were wrong and my definition was accepted by Zeke and Player, the other two people in the bet.

When in the history of your posting on this forum have you ever respected anything zeke has posted regarding numbers? You've systematically mocked, insulted, berated, and slammed him at every available occasion for twisting numbers, making them look beneficial to the Leafs, being biased, choosing limited sample sizes or too large a sample size, not including data, excluding data, and now during the one time that it has the potential to affect you negatively - strangely enough just when a monetary wager is now at stake here - you suddenly decide to put some stock into what he says?

I'm not buying the lemonade that you're selling, sorry.

I love how now, in this case, there's a ****ing board consensus that matters. These ****s fight almost every board consensus ever, tooth and nail no matter how ridiculous it looks, but now there's a board consensus that supersedes the original terms of an agreement?

Let's get something straight. Sensible isn't an acquaintance of mine, he isn't a friend, and I'd possibly take a walk to find somewhere else to piss if he was to spontaneously combust in front of me. So when two people who have no personal relationship enter into a monetary agreement with each other, the only fair way to handle the arrangement is to always abide by the original letter of the agreement.

Yeah I'd like to see what would happen if you bet Corky $50 that Kessel would score 40 goals. Then he scores 39 goals in 70 games if he'd pay up because the general concensus on this board is that he was on pace for well over 40 goals and therefore is a 40 goal scorer.

They weren't in my favour when I made the bet either.

Whether I noticed this now, a month ago, or next month I would have expected the same. I would have expected that the original terms of the bet were honoured. I've gambled with people on this board for years and never had a problem until someone tried to change the original terms of the wager, this time.

In other instances you seemed to go out of your way to define the terms of a bet...except here. Why?
 
My expectations here are clear moving forward, I'm quite done with this.

The terms of the wager were extremely clear and I'll be carrying forward with them. If under those terms I lose, I expect that Sensible will rub it in a sufficient amount and provide me with where he'd like his money wired to. Should I win, I'll do the same. Should he choose not to pay me, that's entirely up to him but it will be made public and I'll let the mob decide how they feel about it.

Didn't that happen a few years ago when Antropov ended up getting 29 with the Leafs and Rangers in a combined season? I can't quite recall if there were money bets, but wasn't there a non-monetary wager or two on him scoring 30 (not on pace, but legitimately scoring 30 goals)?

We would have outlined the terms of the bet.

Mindz apparently didn't care to do that this time - and now seems to be playing the technicality card.

And I have been clear on how I will proceed. Good luck. With the way our teams are trending, you're going to need it.

Excellent example. Apparently the consensus matters now, instead of the letter of the bet.

Just go with actual goals for and goals against.

That's what you both thought you were ultimately betting on.

You've already disappeared twice since you started claiming that we were all trending back to reality, yet here we are. With big brothers in a playoff spot and little brother telling us how our ass tastes.

At least you are being consistent with this post - thinking the shootouts are suddenly significant.

Cause that's the only difference between the two teams...head to head SO wins for the Leafs.

Hardly ass-taste level of dominance.

Probably... but what if you never thought to? The bet was just "I bet you that Kessel scores 40 this year" and you say "You're on!"

You'd definitely not be paying out if Kessel scored 39 in 70. Even though you understand that he's be considered a 40 goal scorer on this board.

When we make the playoffs and you don't, I hope that consoles you.

I absolutely wouldn't pay. He didn't score 40 goals.

If the bet was that Kessel would score on a 40 goal pace with a minimum of 70 games then I would pay.

Exactly... so the accepted definitions on this board doesn't really matter unless the terms are spelled out clearly.
