This is a bet I am offering Jimbo.  Whoever is ranked lower, on the points rankings, between him and I, on December 31st 2014 at NOON (because you want to go out and party at night and not grind for last minute PRs) pays the other $1000.00 USD.

I am aware you are working full time.

I will be working this summer, then attending college in September while working part time and coaching hockey.  It seems that our free time for the rest of the year will be roughly equal.

Do you take this bet?

Looks like Jimbo hit a nerve there.  :kappa:

I didn't mean by the end of this year, I just meant eventually. Once I go on my WR heater, you'll be dead in the water broski :nesquik:

So Jimbo reneges on his offer.

What about $2000.00 USD?

If not December 31, 2014; then what date?

Whoa, Jimbo fisted Goose's goat into complete submission. Congrats man.
Embrace the grind.

Are you guys fucking stupid?  Jimbo is the one who looks bad here.  He talks smack and then won't back it up when I give him a generous offer.

Jimbo talks the talk, won't walk the walk.  Pathetic.

You were the one who was willing to put up $500 on a top 10 bet in 2013 and I got there even with taking 3 months off, so you'd be screwed if I went all-in on a bet like this. I don't look bad at all, you look like a desperate fool :kappa:

$5000.00, December 31, 2014.  Final offer.

If I were Goose and I thought I was a better player than someone else, I would simply do a one way bet. If Goose doesn't keep a lead over Jimbo by the end if the year, then Goose gives Jimbo $xxx for his accomplishment. If Goose maintains the lead, then he truly is superior and no money needs to be exchanged.

Additionally, you worded this bet horribly. One minute prior to noon, Jimbo could change all of his times to beat yours and pass you on the ranks as noon strikes. He gets $5000 from you and a small timeframe ban from the ranks.

Jimbo has numerous loopholes on wagers, like that one and not paying if he loses.

I moved this to FFA because of the possible negative nature of the topic and also because it's between 2 people.

If you guys want to have a dialogue about setting up a bet, do it elsewhere than creating a topic on GE. If you guy do agree to a bet and want to formalise it feel free to create a topic at that time.

Goose going to school, which he's repeatedly said is stupid and a waste of time/money despite his parents paying his way, lol
