Disclaimer:
-The forum itself does not choose to enforce any bets between posters. This thread is meant to serve as a public record of wagers between posters to be settled by an assigned arbitrator. A poster is only held to their honor of upholding their end of the bargain and could possibly not honor the bet punishment. The result of this will only come into play in the rankings system (explained below) and the public ridicule that may follow.

The Rules:
-Since we have this thread now,
keep bet discussions in here rather than other threads. It will prevent derailing the discussions there. If you organically come up with an idea in another thread, just move the conversation over to here with whomever it is with.

-Bet types are limited to name, avatar, and/or signature. Other proposals can be made but likely won't be considered in the ranking system.
No account/e-suicide bets as silencing part of the community isn't very WR like. This is suppose to be something fun but not fatal for our regulars here. No cash bets as the site doesn't want to host that.

-Do not allude/mention bets in this thread that don't adhere to the rules above. For example, mentioning an account ban bet will just get the post deleted.


How to Make and Finalize a Bet
When coming in here, please propose your wager to the other poster involved and tag @Lead so the progress can be tracked.
Bets cannot be finalized until they are formatted in this manner:
1. The exact statement the bet is premised upon
2. Stance each poster is taking in regards to the statement
3. The date the bet will be decided (this can become tentative based of the officiators call)
4. The reward/punishment for the winner/loser
5. The duration of the reward/punishment
6 (OPTIONAL) A situation which makes the bet void that isn't clear with the content in 1 & 2. This needs to be very clear if included.

7 (OPTIONAL) The moderator(s) (see list) the posters agree to call the bet. The default would be @Lead if no one else is selected
I will get both posters to quote and agree to the formatted bet before making it official. At that point, the bet is live and cannot be undone unless both parties agree to drop it and let me know. I will make sure both parties are certain anytime something like that is done.
At the time a bet is expected to be called, the posters involved are expected to sort it out first and see if they agree to who won/lost. If there is a disagreement to who won/lost the bet, the moderator(s) selected for the bet can make the call. If it's multiple moderators, majority decision decides the winner and likely will be discussed privately via PM.
-Once the bet is decided, the bet will be closed and officially counted towards the public records/rankings

Moderators: Madmick, Zankou, computer fogie, Lead, Ruprecht, panamaican, irish_thug



Requirements
-Both posters involved in the bet must have either an account that's been around over 1 year or over 1000 posts. A poster previously registered in a WR Election can automatically qualify as well. Exceptions can be given but shouldn't be expected.
-If at any time, a poster is overextended with open bets, future bets can be rejected until the result. Posters can ask me at any time whether this is the case to avoid finding out as they are trying to make a new bet.

Rankings/Records
-Records will be maintained as bets are called. Rankings will have the most accurate information but I will attempt to have information between threads about informal current records in between threads.
-With every ten bets that are decided (not including null/draws), a new thread will be made with updated rankings.
-The rankings will include a champion based on who has the highest score based on the bets previously officiated through this thread
-The score applied to each poster will be based on ranking in opponent faced, duration of the reward/punishment of bets made, type of bet made (name, av, and/or, sig), and how new/old the resolved bet is. Due to limitations, the longest duration of a bet will be capped at 5 years.
-The poster who is crowned the champ will be considered champ until the time new rankings dethrone them from the top spot. During the time of their reign, their record and score will be accounted for historical perspective and comparisons of each title reign. Please keep in mind that beating the current champ does not dethrone them necessarily or crown yourself as the champ.
-Any accounts that are seen not serving out their name, avatar, and/or signature bet punishment will be assigned an asterisk to their name and removed from future rankings. The asterisk will be removed once the account serves the punishments they promised to honor in the thread but they will only be restored in the rankings once those prior obligated punishments are fulfilled completely. In other words, honor all your bets and you should be fine.

A reminder on how the rankings play out:
-The type of bet is factored in value (Name Change, then Av, then Sig)
-Duration of the reward/punishment is factored
-It didn't factor in a lot with the first 2 rounds of rankings but eventually wins against ranked posters will matter more
-As time/bets go on, previous bets become less important to a posters ranking. This means with enough inactivity, you could drop down in rank or fall off entirely

Seems pretty subjective. How much credit am I being given for the 4-year sig bet that I won?

Do you have a formula you're going to follow for these two?

Do you have a formula you're going to follow for these two?

If I look at you and Jacks score, they are like a mile from 3rd and after. You received a lot for the 4 year sig bet. Keep in mind Jack did a permanent av bet with someone which technically is an unlimited amount of time but had to be capped somehow which I admit took some subjectively as I didn't foresee the idea of a permanent bet beforehand. That bet is really the difference of who came out first and second currently.

Yes, there's a formula to ranked opponents that will be tiered between the champ, top 1-5 and top 6-10. This only applies to a win against a ranked opponent and not a loss. This will incentivize people to try to make bets with already ranked people without penalizing them for taking the bet.

I assume you're assigning points to each player based on some formula. Can you post a link to the formula, or is it private?

I can expand on what I previously mentioned and just show the formula when I'm at my desktop but pretty much it's just number of months times bet type (name change=3, av=2, sig=1). The first ten bets had a fraction (.8) applied to them and each new ranking will continue to decline (.6, .4, .2, 0). That's all that is really playing into the rankings at this point for you and jack since neither of you have loses.
 
Also, defenses will be any bets won during the period the post was ranked as champ. Just added that as incentive for the top person to accept bets with other posters. Keep in mind, if they were to just not make bets, they would decline as more rankings came out.

  1. Trump will not lose the 2020 Republican primary contest.
  2. Trump will not be indicted for any crimes while in office.
  3. Robert Mueller's investigation will not conclude that Trump attempted to offer US policy concessions to Russia in exchange for access to the hacked DNC e-mails.
  4. Cory Booker will not be the Democratic nominee in 2020.
  5. The Republicans will hold the Senate in the 2018 election.
  6. Trump will not be removed from office via political means (e.g., 25th Amendment, impeachment+removal)
  7. During the Democratic primary race for the 2020 US presidential election, one of Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Martin O'Malley or Bernie Sanders or their respective presidential campaigns will criticize Kirsten Gillibrand publicly for her past positions on illegal immigration.
I'll bet you that all of these predictions come true. In?

I think 7 needs some clarity, but I don't expect any problems there (that is, I think we can provide that clarity without issue), and I'm good with the bet once that is taken care of.

What's unclear about 7? But since you brought it up, I'd like to change it from "one of Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Martin O'Malley or Bernie Sanders or their respective presidential campaigns" ----> "one of the other Democratic contenders or his/her presidential campaign"

For 2): I don't want to wait seven years for the bet to settle. Maybe we can change it to "during the course of the Mueller investigation"

For 3: I can foresee a situation in which we disagree on whether this happens. Let's tighten it up for clarity.

Everything else looks good.

I don't want to wait that long either. What if we swapped Trump winning in 2020 for 1,2, and 6? Just a suggestion. I'm fine with you broadening 7, but what do you mean by her past position on illegal immigration? Obviously opposition to illegal immigration is still a universally held view in American politics.

For 3, I read you as saying that the finding would be a specific concession, which I think is good from your perspective (so it requires something like, "in the sixth, my ass goes down," rather than a more general, "Are you my n___?" "It certainly appears so.").
 
Bet:
1. Republicans will get to 60 in the Senate after elections(JamesRussler for, HomerThompson against).
2. Democrats will win back the House of Representatives(HomerThompson for, JamesRussler against).
3. Both predictions must come true for the winner. Dems must win back House and Republicans stay below 60 seats in the Senate and I win, Dems fail to win back House and Reoublicans get to 60 in the Senate and James wins.

4. 1 month signature bet

I'm not betting that Republicans get 60 seats. I'm betting that they gain seats.
 
That's bullshit man. We already went through this in the thread you made. Don't pussy out now.

No, read it again. I never said "Republicans will get 60 seats," I merely pointed out that it's possible. I don't know how many times I need to repeat myself on that.

I'll wager they gain at least 2 seats though, ok? That would put Republicans at 53 seats. How's that?
