Personal Bets (Little Bo Peep) Topic

What do you guys think of personal bets....

Example if two owners agree to a bet on a win total and one achieves it and the other refuses to pay. What do you think of the owner who refuses to pay said bet total?

I've only made a couple personal bets on this site and would only do so with people that I'm familiar with and feel can be trusted to honor the bet. 

What bet did you make?

Not me...It was with another guy in the league....last year little bo peep said if you reach 60 wins next year I'll give you 20 bones....(during LBP's 3 day comish term)  He also went on record in saying that even if he got slaughtered (which he did) in the election  to remain as comish he would pay the bet.

He has since not  commented on world chat in 48 hours since the team in question has stated that he reached said win total.

Unless the owners know each other well (not online), the one surprised by a refusal to pay is a sap.

I've always paid, or been paid in other times.

There's a fair number of people that I know only through this site that I'm pretty sure that they would pay up on a wager.  End of the day $20 is a cheap price to pay to know if somebody is trustworthy enough to gamble with.

You should also quit creating threads about rangerup.. You're starting to look like a stalker..

You might say stalker, but I say I'm warning the WIS community when new information comes to light..

That's pretty much what a stalker would say.  And I get that you're not really stalking because you're in the world, but seriously, if you can't deal with your crap with rangerup on your own, quit dragging it out here.

What Al and will said ...

The original point sounds more like trash talking than a bet. For it to be a bet, both sides have to agree to terms and there's usually a promise on either side (and if you're not involved what difference does it make to you?). But really, it's already been made clear enough what you think of rangerup. Another thread — and God knows how many pages of posts by now in WC — aren't furthering your point. At some point (which we passed a while back) you do more to make yourself look petty and foolish than you accomplish in tarring rangerup.

Whats up with your major hardon for ranger?
8/27/2012 6:01 PM
Yeah, you've made your point that ranger's an *******, and he himself reinforced it with his comments in the other thread.

Time to move on, dude.

I'm with tec, Steve.

Leave it alone.  You won the point in the other thread, but this one is silly.

Keep it up and you'll end up just sounding like you're whining.  Then we turn you off.

Nah, keeping bringing up stuff.  Free entertainment.

Don't bet with people you don't think will pay.  If they keep at it, say "You're a deadbeat who won't pay so I nothing to gain.  STFU, deadbeat!"

I think Steve secretly wants to be a sheepdog.
