Sachin=GOD Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Knockouts aane do and you will find your own peace with the demise of your team. HS/Morris : The loser will have to keep the winners avatar and signature of choice for one month - either accept the terms or GTFO of my thread. :mad: :woot::woot:
Holysmoke Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 You're completely missing the point here - I have already thought about the risk and am willing to do something not many people will do - lose all my monies, including to the last cent, for the sake of my team. I am not going back on my bet at all. If we lose, you will get all my . Quite clearly, the person afraid to take the risk onboard in this case is you. Plus, a bet is only exciting only when the risk is shared equally between both the parties. The way it is set up now, it ain't a bet, it's a set up! I carry 100% of the risk and you stand to gain 100% of reward. Ok for the sake of you, I am willing to offer an olive branch - if mi wins, as agreed upon earlier, I give you all my (nobody goes back on their word in my prestigious family ). If csk wins, you pay HALF of all your . Lagi sharth? :winky: Hey Ram:facepalm: You do realize that betting works on this system called odds right. When we laid the bet, I was taking you all in, and the odds for both of us were 1:1. We were limited by the ICF$ that you had. So, in a sense, I was being the bank, and taking you all in. If you win, you double, if you lose, you lose it all. It was never about losing all my moneys for me, the bet was whether you were willing to go all-in on your statement that CSK would beat MI the next time they played. You confident enough, and went all in. But why do you want me to go all-in? I dont mind going all in, but what you are asking is for me to change the bet and make the odds more than 20:1. Why would any sane man offer that kind of odds on any game? It's like I put a million $ on the line, and if i win, i get some spare change. Thats just stupid dude, I dont understand why you would want me to do that? It still doesnt make any sense to me. Basically, as I see it, you want to change the odds from 1:1 to 20:1. Why would I allow that. Because you're saying its not a risk for me? Dude, beg-borrow-steal from your chennai buddies, match my balance, and then ask me to go all in. That's the more realistic solution. (nobody goes back on their word in my prestigious family )Then why do you want me to change the bet? Honor it as it was made. :bow: PS - I am also game for Outy's suggestion, etc.
Holysmoke Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 This is a true test of character' date=' courage and loyalty. Please bear with us [/quote'] And also a test of stupidity:cantstop:
Mariyam Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Ram, I'll take the bet with you instead of Holysmoke. Our $$$ levels are similar. You win, you get all my $$$ and if I win, I get all yours. Deal? :deal:
Sir john Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Ram, I'll take the bet with you instead of Holysmoke. Our $$$ levels are similar. You win, you get all my $$$ and if I win, I get all yours. Deal? :deal: :hahaha: poor
chanakya Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Ram, I'll take the bet with you instead of Holysmoke. Our $$$ levels are similar. You win, you get all my $$$ and if I win, I get all yours. Deal? :deal: :deal: awesome smiley
ganeshran Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 I like the signature and avatar idea better...So many cruel ones to think of

That's the more realistic solution. Then why do you want me to change the bet? Honor it as it was made. :bow: Dude, thanks for treating me like a 6 year old, but I know how odds work, ok? One thing you don’t seem to understand is – If Person A has $100 and Person B has $100 mn. If you take $100 from Person A and $100 mn from Person, both of them will be equally bankrupt, doesn’t matter the amount you took from Person A is a million times you took from Person A. The way this bet is set-up now – Whether you win or lose, it will make no difference to you whatsoever. But for me, I could be reduced to rags if I lose. To make this an equal stakes contest, losing the bet should have an appropriately negative impact on you as well. Hence the new terms and conditions – If you lose the bet, you should lose at least half your money. PS - I am also game for Outy's suggestion, etc. Nice. :nice: Let me know - what is going to be our avatar/signature, if we lose the bet?
Ram Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Ram, I'll take the bet with you instead of Holysmoke. Our $$$ levels are similar. You win, you get all my $$$ and if I win, I get all yours. Deal? :deal: If the quintessential Mumbaikar a.k.a Holysmoke does not do the honorable thing accept the reworked conditions, then I am absolutely willing to enter into deal with you, under the same terms and conditions. If MI wins, you get all my monies. If CSK wins, I get all your monies (which seems more like a piggy bank money of a 5 year old.. :giggle: I am amazed, how in the world do you have so little? :dontknow:)
The Outsider Posted May 19, 2011 Author Posted May 19, 2011 Okay, chalo paisa waisa chhodo - Morris and Choli have agreed that the loser of the bet will carry an avatar and signature of the winner's choice for one month. This is irrespective when the next such match happens. Moreover, the loser will be obliged to make at least 10 posts with a :yay: emoticon when the winner's team is doing well. The winner will be in complete liberty to take suggestions from the rest of the board for the choice of the avatar and signature. It's settled, done, and dusted. As a consolation, the loser will get Mariyam's ICF balance.
Sachin=GOD Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 If MI beat CSK in their next match then Ram will have this signature - "CSK sucks". If CSK beats MI in the nest match then Holysmoke will have this signature - "CSK sucks even more" :yess: :yess:
Mariyam Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 I am amazed, how in the world do you have so little? :dontknow: Simple living, high thinking

OK, lets make this simple. I dont agree with what you say, because making a bet from 1:1 to 20:1 does not make any sense to me. Heck, I would take 20:1 odds even if my gully cricket team were playing. So thats that. Now I am under the impression that we have an agreement and a bet. Are you going to honor it or are you going back on your word?
Guest Gunner Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Ram, I will just bankroll you choli's balance, you wont lose. :D

I placed a ridiculously unfair bet with him.. I should have agreed to his terms.. Daym, I regret doing what I did..:((‘… Do you really want to be saddled with that sense of guilt that will simply tear your heart into a million pieces…? :headshake:
