You're giving me Jman + odds?
The only way he doesn't cash is if his muzzle is kept on with the racial slurs.
I'd say with his track record and what he's done in the past month alone, how could you not peg him as the odds on favorite to defend his title?
Bingo. You can't take over the throne in one week. Getting to the Jman/PO69 level takes months, nay years to achieve. Look at the stuff we've drawn from that's dated from what, 3, 4 years ago. All about building a portfolio, a body of work. Bookie and realestatepro haven't done that yet.
Fester and I have enormously differing opinions on myriad political issues
There are a lot of well-educated posters at this site, but I'd venture to guess that you are one of maybe 5-10 who actually knew that it's "myriad political issues," and not "myriad of political issues."
I'm impressed.

Since I sort of got this ball rolling (by proposing an IQ test for rolls), I feel obligated to comment. Also, I can't help myself.
REP, you made a remark that we were all certainly betting out of a $100 roll, yet when someone offers a challenge in which you allegedly have a huge edge, you can't put up 10K? Ummm... believe it or not, this forum has some big-leaguers. It might not be a good idea to demean our bankrolls if you can't put up 10K on such a juicy proposition.
Secondly, you offer betting posting privileges as an alternative. This is moronic on many different levels. First, FZ is a respected poster that is valued on the forum, whereas you are the current laughingstock of the forum. Hardly seems fair, eh? Second, what would stop the losing poster from creating another handle and continuing to post. Third, no one actually believes that if you lost you would accept the judge's opinion and go quietly into the night. You'd rant and rave and tell us how ignorant we are. Fourth, how is posting equal in value to 10K??? He's obviously not scared, and I'm assuming you'd take the socialism side, so he has a huge advantage topic-wise. He is simply looking to maximize value for his efforts.
Third, and this is my biggest concern, is you're broad generalization of posters (in this case FZ). Fester and I have enormously differing opinions on myriad political issues, but I know that he has the good of common people at heart, and I greatly respect him. Further, I have read a lot of his posts, and it is apparent that he is highly educated. But you claim to "know" that you have him intellectually outclassed.. This doesn't make sense. What if Stephen Hawking is posting on therx forum under the handle "FesteringZit?" Do you still win the IQ test? To take a bet like this seems to be wildly -EV, which leads me to question your gambling judgment in the first place. To advocate such a test so vehemently, you must have an IQ 4 or 5 standard deviations above the average person's. But this clearly isn't the case, as your elementary dialogue and ad hominem attacks clearly indicate.
I think you'll find that many members of this forum are much smarter than you give them credit for. I would certainly take an IQ bet for a reasonable amount of money with you if 1) there was a reliable testing method readily available to both of us (there isn't) and 2) I trusted you (I don't). So that's all I've got. Good luck with your plays this year, and congratulations on the happy home life you've established.
To first address your comment about my bankroll. I don't have the largest bankroll but not the smallest either. I'm not rich by any means but I do OK. Before having a child to care for and saving up to buy a house (I'm plannig on putting about 30% or more down on one) I would bet as much as $500 on a game. Now, this year, I'll probably make $100 my top bet. As for 10k, I wouldn't wager that on anything. Especailly on something that could be rigged. He says we could get local posters to monitor but what if that poster is his friend? They wouldn't lie?
On to the fact that "most of this board" believes I wouldn't pay anyway. I guess a few losers that sit in the RR don't think that, but I'd say most of this board is smart enough to not make those assumptions. Fact is that I've never gone back on a bet before in my life. From small friendly bets to larger bets.
As for Zit being a well respected poster, I don't see it. I don't respect right wing conservatives. People that actually think places like Walmart make the economy better because they charge lower prices.
Last thing I'll touch on is the fact that you read FZ say that he's a schoolar so that means he's a genius. He wouldn't even debate me. He's too afraid and that's a fact. His time is too valuable but he's on here anyway.

Hold on, so the rest of the board is smart enough not to make assumptions about you, but all you've done in this thread and others is make assumptions about other posters? So wouldn't that mean that the rest of the board is smarter than you?
Oh, I get it now.
