Bet 600m on something against me

[Anet390]

Post on this thread if you accept the terms and conditions. Any post counts as an agreement. If you ask what your 600m wager will payout, I will assume you already know and not answer you.

It is important you agree to the terms I haven't specified so that I can specify them later after you post asking about them (aka accepting the bet).

Yes I'm Salty.

Let it be known I can truthfully say I would not have made him pay had I "won". I was essentially risking money to win absolutely nothing, without even knowing it.

I would ordinarily side with you here but his thread did say "post if you accept". You could have clarified the terms through pm without posting at all.

I think the true moral of the story here is not to pick the cavs

 

Tbh it didn't clarify.

Theres a difference between "post on the thread that you accept"

And "if you post, you accept" (example of what would insinuate verification) or what video has said "post if you accept" (which is not what Hamouze wrote.)

It's difficult, but theres a fair line of understanding. If you have to verify the bet (not entirely sure on rules) then there wasn't really verification.

To me "post... that you accept" would mean Anet had to write that he accepted. Saying I'm down isn't accepting imo, because he wanted further clarification.

That's just what it looks like to me?

The true story here is that the Illuminati owns the NBA and that the NBA is rigged by the RGA.(Runescape Gamblers Anonymous).

Title: 6m on the Warriors
OP: Post if you accept and choose 6m on Cavs

You're just making yourself look like an idiot. Stop being so butthurt over 6m.

Actually in his thread he said "Post on this thread that you accept". In no way shape or form did he say "post IF you accept".

The true moral of the story is never post questions if you are unsure about something. Everyone else will assume you posted because you already know.

And never to pick the cavs.

That's what it looks like to me, and that's exactly what happened. He did not write "post if you accept" and somehow took my FIVE WORD post and twisted it into some sort of agreement and acceptance. I'm glad there are a few people like @Sonia and @kmjt who understand I have no obligation to pay, regardless of the amount.

@Hamouze
You're changing your own fucking words. You said "Post on this thread that you accept" not "Post IF you accept". You are posting false information. Look at the original post dumbass.

Of course I'm butthurt, it's not about the 6m, it's about the precedent that is now being set. Had this been 600m, I still would be paying for a bet I never knew I accepted.

I don't think I'm making myself look like an idiot at all. Even if I am, I don't really care what people think of me, especially when I'm right.

The worst part is you are actually changing your OP to gain favor among others. It is obvious the bet wasn't verified and the terms weren't agreed on.

I'm honestly considering making a real post trying to get my money back. It's not the value of it that matters, it's the fact that I don't owe it. I shouldn't owe it.

@video @Shin

 

All over 6m? LOL

Actually upon a second reading I have to agree with OP here. It says post that you accept, not if you accept. Furthermore, it was never stated what the payout would be, if it was a 1:1 bet, or 2:1 or 1:2 or what. Can't agree that simply posting was somehow automatically entering into a wager with an undetermined payout

 

[video]

It also sets a rather poor precedent if we allow this to become standard practice for wager bets, all wagers should be well defined and agreed to by both parties clearly, not ill-stated "post that you agree" auto-accepted wager nonsense

 

@Anet390

i read, i just don't give a shit

This is exactly what I am saying. I mentioned multiple times in the original thread that we never agreed on odds. I mentioned the stickied thread I was monitoring and how the rules applied there.

"did not agree on the payout"

"So I am betting 6m 07 against him. What is he expecting to bet against me? 4m? 1m? 6m?"

"In the stickied thread in this section, I have verified every bet on there and made sure both parties agree to the bet and guidelines."


From stickied bet thread (posted in April):

Bet is not official until he has quoted this message and approved the bet.!

Let it be known @Shin handled the situation well and gave me a proper explanation. I think the misunderstanding or confusion of what qualifies as an official bet is what led to this altogether.

I can truthfully say I would not have made him pay had I "won".

 

Have to admit he's not making himself look like an idiot, if you don't agree with the judgement that was made you should be allowed to appeal against it. Hence why you can dispute bans.

6M or not, I could tell from the off-set that words where taken into a different sense of understanding and as Video stated allowing the above situation would set a bad precedence.

@Anet390 I'm into studying being a defence lawyer. So np.

 

If I give you 6m will you stop being a little bitch and wasting mods time

 

[Aklan]

6m o shit hope you recover from these massive losses

 

If I give you 6m will you stop being a little bitch and wasting mods time

Talk about wanting two seconds of fame.

Thanks. It was exactly what happened, as well as you waiting until after the game was over to make claims regarding the bet.

Had you posted around the beginning of the game saying the terms were not clear or you didn't feel the bet was valid, the ball would've been in your court. Ahah... my puns... they kill me...

You might want to reconsider your field or study or study harder then.
