You could see how many plays he has made per day and then pro-rate that over the rest of the year.

Has to make X # of plays a day on avg

I would be willing to do something like that.

Cruise put that $ up

I wouldn't do that bet because I would never hold myself to a set number of plays per day. I make a wager where I see value. That may be 7 plays each day for 6 days in a row or it might be 3 total plays in a weeks time. I'm certainly not going to let a dick measuring side bet effect my handicapping.

However, because i know ill have a winning season, i would be willing to do some sort of mod sanctioned lifetime ban bet with choptalk. I have a losing year, mods ban me for life. I have a winning year and Chop is gone for life.

I assume chop would be fine with that bet since he's so confident I'll collapse after 4 losing days in a row

Chop - get over it dude. He said he wouldnt post and then decided to start posting again. Just move on. The original thread drew attention to himself, but i dont get why you are so concerned with him. He changed his mind and decided to start posting again. You have made bold claims and been wrong but nobody points them out every time you post

It wouldn't be a set # per day. Just an average.

Say you bet 4-5 plays per day now, make the average 3 per. That is a big reduction but still means you have to put a good amount of volume in.

There's a difference between making a bold claim/prediction, and saying you'll self-ban depending on the results of a game, right?

So what does a lifetime ban equal in Justin Cruise years? 6 months?

All the Cruise bullying is weak Chop. Yeah he is a little bitchy but calling him a stiff is way over the line.

He didn't make a forum bet with anyone and him posting again as opposed to waiting until whenever is of 0 consequence to anyone.

If you can find any post where I said I would ban myself if any of those bold predictions did not come true I will make this my final post in the history of this forum.

I figured you would grab the low hanging fruit there but the key word in my post is MOD CONTROLLED wager. The mods would ban us, not a self ban.

When you make a bet and don't pay that is a stiff period.
No matter how insignificant the bet may seem it is still a stiff job.

I figured out a way to make this bet work.
All JC has to agree to is a minimum of 50 more plays.

Thats less then 1 per day.

From this day forward he will be in the negative .

I will send my 1k to BAS right now if you are interested

Personally, I don't think he should be banned for reneging on his self-ban. But I just think he suffers the natural consequences of what he did, e.g.
he loses credibility - like the boy who cried wolf.

From this day forward being in the negative was not the bet. I could end the year with a $6,000 profit but still be negative from this day forward.

You said I would have a losing season

Gargantuan difference

Don't pay??
there was no money involved in the bet.

Calling someone a stiff who has never stiffed anyone is a pretty low move
