wasn't he supposed to exchange e-mails?
I'm sorry, no post up, no communications, not following through on other commitments (email exchange), raises stiff concerns in my world
They were going to post up through Gas, Gas decided he didn't want to give AK his PP. So AK said to Mich you wanna do it on honor system? Mich said fine. They came to an agreement and we have a bet. From there Mich has to decide, does he cancel a bet because a guy didn't post for a week leading up to it? I really don't think you can cancel based on that.
WVU is a little different I think in that wasn't he AWOL for like 2 months? A week and 2 months is a little different to be fair.
I could be wrong, but I think he took quite the sabbatical when it looked like he was gonna lose 14 large.
And guess what? I saw him posting on this site like last week. So why isn't he banned? His shit was way worse.
Gassy is a lot of things, but stupid financially isn't one of them. I suspect he has Aki's info and will do what's necc to get his money from Aki, if in the unlikely event it comes to that. Notice through all the angst others have, Gassy is as cool as a cucumber. He know the bet is on, and that he'll pay the winner.
At the end of the day MA gave AK a free license to free roll when he said the bet is still on. One of the stupidest things I've ever seen done concerning a bet. MA basically put up has money to ensure AK a risk free shot.
Makes no difference what he would have done if he lost. That's nothing more then pure unprovable speculation.

So Willie, Seymour , myself , and whoever else can think and assume AK would not pay if he had lost . But we have no right to call him a stiff no matter how enormous the the evidence favors the fact he would have probably stiffed.
MA removed any obligation for AK to have to post or post up for the contest .

Exactly, the last time I interacted with AK he called me 1 of the dumbest people on earth. I'm not embellishing that either. That is what he said. But he isn't a stiff unless he loses and doesn't pay and the bet has to be on.
Still though, you have to marvel at his incompetence. Why would you stop posting for a week? (whether you were legit or not) That is just going to raise concerns and possibly make people think you should cancel the bet. Someone with that type of reputation on here isn't going to get the benefit of the doubt for going away for a week leading up to the bet result happening.
Him doing that is up with him plastering his Akphidelt name all over the internet and allowing people he ridicules on a regular basis to find all of his personal info.
The bet is off.
There has been much misinformation in this thread.
1) When I sent Gasman my $1000.00 it was expected by me that Aki would do the same, that is send Gasman the $2000.00 which he bet to win my $1000.00.
2) Complications developed when Gas didn't want to give mailing info to Aki.
3) Aki requested to have until November 1 to get his $2000.00 in.
4) When Aki and Gas were going back and forth Gas agreed to back Aki if Aki were to lose. I never agreed to that and never would. Why should a guy who was chosen by Aki to do us a favor by banking the bet get stuck if one of the participants stiffed him? I would never let that happen.
5) I did agree to accept Aki's bet on the honor system in view of the mess I now found myself in.
But that was about a month ago. I believed in Aki's word. But since that was "settled" Aki disappeared, only sneaking back here a couple of times, on 10/26 and 11/1 I think it was. Mountain did the research earlier in this thread.
For a guy who posted tens of times a day before the bet was "settled", he sure became scarce since.
Something stinks. I may have been stupid to agree to accept Aki's honor but I'm not a sucker. I held out hope until I came up with a solution after getting input from some of the guys here.
I gave him until noon today to check in and reaffirm his bet. It's now 1:30. Where is he?
Where has he been for three weeks since I said "the bet stands". By the way Hillary was about -500 when I said that. I WAS HONORING MY END OF THE AGREEMENT.
And to the one poster, Guesser, who has repeatedly said that I'm trying to weasel out of the bet because I think I'm going to lose - YOU ARE DEAD WRONG. I think I am going to win. But the guy who is supposed to pay me when that happens is nowhere to be found. I have asked if you want to take his bet over since you are so sure that he will honor his bet but you run from that suggestion. Obviously you share the same apprehensions as me. Cut the bullshit.
I am going to PM Gasman with these instructions now before there is any definition as to who is going to win this bet.
Cash the $1000.oo check made out to cash. Take $100.00 to take your wife to dinner for the aggravation this has caused you. I never expected any of this to happen when I sent you that check. Take an additional $400.00 and give it to the church of your choice. And send me back $500.00 which will give me a days pocket money for the racetrack.
I wanted nothing but to honor this bet when I made it and immediately sent Gas my money. Unfortunately I now feel that the other party is playing me. That ain't gonna happen.
Thanks for all your input.
Will CC this note to Gas and the thread on the same subject in the Poly Forum.

That's all that matters. There was no stipulation that he had to post in the last week.
You agreed to the bet, you need to honor it. The right play was to not agree to no postup. You can't go back on your word man.
I get your frustrations, I've been in your shoes but AK had no obligation to post in the last week and deep down you know that.
And also fwiw, it wasn't a month ago. It was on 10/25. 2 weeks ago. And it wouldn't really matter when it was either.

Duuuuuddde, you said that bet stands!!!-----which you probably shouldnt have
You guys didnt agree it was contingent on both parties making daily posts.
And how do you impose a new condition on someone, who has not been around a while, without his consent
Now if you lose and dont pay, you are the stiff!!!
