Not debating that... I was clear about not betting with 8-8 in play. He wanted to keep it, but recently said he was clear about the 7 win piece with no 8-8. I proved that to be untrue and I never wussed out of a bet because he never took 8-8 off the table. His recent version of what happened was inaccurate...

I offered a bet to BlackOp, he declined. TEX jumps in with his own offer of a bet - I brought up the 8-8 finish and that if it was a factor in him winning the bet, I was out. He supported the 8-8 stance and that's fine, but I was clear that was not accepting a bet with 8-8 in play. This past week, he was prancing around as if he took 8-8 off the table and was clear about 7 wins... I posted his comments proving his story to be untrue.

That's it, plain and simple. All this recent pontificating by TEX is noise.

More context, from 10/16/2017 (7-10 days after the original offer to BlackOp and counter by TEX) / post #17847
A week after his initial offering of the bet, 8-8 as a push was still on the table and YOU were even trying to get him to accept it and take it off.

I scrolled for 3 pages after this and TEX never addressed it... all he did was refer passingly to a bet that was never accepted.

After last night's game, that's more than fair odds for both. I think it doesn't need a perma exile for the loser though. Sig, avy, and a break till next season should do. Neither would welch like that turd know mo.

On #17823, a few threads earlier.. again, all I wanted was 8-8 off the table. I had zero interest in a bet that left a winner due to a tie. I'm done with you now and this topic is tiring.

Why? Because YOU say so? Again - You said "No collapse & 9/10 wins." To that I said that I'd bet you a self forever ban from this site, that the Donx would NOT finish above .500. Then you changed it to fit your narrative and to give yourself an OUT - like a typical Wuss (using your word here). Again, the bet was NOT on finishing .500 - it was that the Donx would not finish ABOVE.500 and win 9/10 games. Finishing .500 is on my side of the parameter because .500< 9/10 wins - all day - every day - except apparently not in your wussy world. It's the same thing as saying that the Donx will NOT win more than 8 games - is that better? Do you accept it worded that way? With no mention of .500??? Again, 8 wins is less than 9/10 wins, which is what I said they would not reach all along...

It's YOU who is diving head first in a gray area and trying to play it safe by changing the fact that 8 wins should not be considered less than 9/10 wins. It's a wuss tactic - exactly what I expected from you.

You said 9 or 10 wins. I said the Donx would not finish above .500. (9 wins or more) Nothing "safe" about it. Pretty clear that anything under 9 wins is on my side of the betting line, and last I checked .500 (8 wins) is certainly that, because it's less than 9 or 10 wins. Got it?

Again... you indeed did say they would not finish above .500 (solid gray area - not saying they will have a losing record, might be even), if I'm doing a bet with you, you're taking the 'losing' record side of the equation. I'm not making a bet where .500 is safe. Don't want it, don't take it.

You're truly bent out of shape over this... too bad BlackOp didn't take the original bet, which is how all this started. Finishing .500 is like kissing your sister, which I'm sure you've enjoyed... but it's not something to win a bet on. So, I guess you're leaving it and crying foul. So be it.

Hell on 11/8 - #18,349 you posted this to BlackOp... never once changed your commentary.

I tried to help out, but he would not take my bet that they would finish no better than .500. Missed opportunities...

It was a fun trip down memory lane. Boils down to this... YOU NEVER changed the terms. The point of all the noise this week is because you recently said you did take 8-8 off the table and you continued to call me out about it. It's just untrue.

I'm done.
