  • Yeah.

    You thought they were all up for the ballot only 19 short months ago. You even persisted after I told you only 33 were.

      • I'll take that bet.

        I love it how the leftists will never bet anything straight up. They wouldn't do it in '04, and they still won't do it in '08.

          I will offer the following terms avatar bet with a Spencer win counting as McCain winning by 380 electoral votes or more with myself losing control of my avatar for two months and Spencer only losing control of his avatar for one month. Seems like a fair definition and fair terms. If McCain doesn't win by at least 380 then Spencer loses the bet.
          I don't think 2:1 is a fair bet on that. 12:1 seems much fairer.
          I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

          • Isn't Spencer's point that a McCain landslide is likely? So giving him such a strong handicap (which is probably justified) contradicts the point made by the bet...

                  • Ok I'll take Ramo up on the bet.

                    I choose his avatar for 1 month if McCain wins.

                    He chooses mine for 1 month if Obama wins.

                    Deal?

                    If I lose both I'll wear Ramo's for one month and then Oerdins for another.

                        Huh? I bet DanS straight up and I've been trying to be straight up with Spencer but he keeps making excuses about odds.

                        • Just bet on the winner. Y'all keep throwing odds into it. Either you think someone will win or you don't, end of discussion, hell.

                          • Or throwing in Electoral Vote counts. Y'all are just going to argue over what constitutes a "landslide" until the election.

                                I cant help but feel that you dont have much experience as a gambler. I have accepted arbitration in the form of a poly interpretation of "landslide" and I'm also willing to accept a poly interpretation of the odds. Oerdin proposed the bet but doesnt seem to want to compromise in any way. Perhaps he doesnt have much experience either.
