The War Room Bet Thread

[Lead]

What happens if waiguoren loses both of his open sig bets? Is there a conflict on the timing?

Good catch. Crappy regulating on my part. For some reason I thought the other one was a sig bet. I'll confirm but I'm sure cooks could be fine with waiting until Inauguration Day. Other wise, unless one person is putting a very very long message in the sig, it's possible to put both messages inside it.

I'll try to watch out for this more carefully in the future. Thanks for getting it before the results occurred

I would be alright with him having a two line sig for the short period he would have to pay me if he loses our bet. Or he could put mine for his location. It will be short.

Okay, so long as @cooks1 doesn't have a crazy long sig, this should work for the two months of overlap. Afterwards, if he did want more space, he would have it.

Is this all good with you cooks?

Sure. How about a bet through Paypal. I will pay up if Trump loses Florida. You do the same if Hillary loses. What kind of odds and money are we talking about here?

No odds, straight up. I'll take Clinton to win Florida, you take Trump. I would suggest an Avatar bet, but if it has to be money what do you think?

Even money? You don't sound too confident to me. I should get a little better than even don;t you think?

Don;t worry. I will take it easy on you. We can bet small. $20 or $40. I want $25 or $50 when I win though (through Paypal)

No I don't think you should get more then even. If you are so confident in Trump and the polls you don't need anything but a straight up bet.

Oh, and I would still prefer a AV bet. I would love to see you rock a Clinton avatar for a couple of months more than $20.

 

[Hans Gruber]

No I don't think you should get more then even. If you are so confident in Trump and the polls you don't need anything but a straight up bet.

Cough coward cough

I am giving you better odds than online betting sites. Why shouldn't I just spend my money there?

I understand. You have no confidence in your candidate. It's OK

...because this is not about money. This is about how much you believe in what you are saying. So don't say you want better then even odds and call me a coward. More so when you don't even have to risk $.

 

[Limbo Pete]

Hmmm maybe I should get in on this action.
Hey @Hans Gruber is your sig spoken for? I know you have this other thing getting worked out with nickerson.

@m52nickerson Chickened out.

I play for money. If you are willing to accept the bet that I offered him you are on.

If Trump wins Florida I get $25 or $50

If Hillary wins Florida you get $20 or $40

Come on...Imagine what you could do with all of the money. Maybe get a ticket to a Lena Dunham monologue or something

 

[UpaLoompa]

If Trump wins Florida I get $25 or $50

If Hillary wins Florida you get $20 or $40

You realize that specifying it this way actually means you don't think Trump will win, right?

I don't need $50 dude
Just a straight sig bet, nothing fancy. Trump wins you win, Clinton wins I win.
Maybe I can hit up @sodapopinski if you aren't interested.

Edit: Also, I fuckin despise Lena Dunham

Edit edit: Also, just to specify, i'm talking about who gets elected, not Florida specifically

 

[Hans Gruber]

No it means that all of the polls show that Hillary is going to win Florida and I am offering better odds than the betting sites.

It is the principle of the whole thing.

Thought you guys were confident in your candidate. Sad

Again, money is fine, but it's going to be straight up or not at all. I'm sorry you don't believe in the things you claim.

No. I want to take something from one of you guys. We are betting a low amount but it is a lot more fun when money is involved. Had tons of fun with the guy I won $50 bucks from on these boards when I bet on Kennedy over Bisping.

 

[UpaLoompa]

No it means that all of the polls show that Hillary is going to win Florida and I am offering better odds than the betting sites.

So, basically, you don't understand betting.

Alright, you want $50 you can have it lol. I don't need any money but i'll pay you if you win. Straight election winner bet, you got Trump I got Clinton Trump wins and you get $50. I win, and I want your sig, av, location and belt. For a year.

The bet is for Florida

If Trump wins Florida I get
A) $25 for $20 or $50 for $40

You guys are just like Hillary. All talk no action.

Don;t be scared homies.

1st one to agree to these terms gets the bet

Well we clearly want different bets.
I'll find someone else.

Again, this means you actually don't think Trump is as likely to win!
Seriously, talk to a bookie sometime.

No it means that I know I should get better odds and I am giving you guys a chance at making fun of me as well as better odds than the betting sites.

Can't believe so many Hillary supporters have no confidence in her ability to win Florida when the polls have her ahead.
