@Melkerson I’ll make one last ditch effort. Give me +170. He receives a guilty verdict no later than midnight 4/16/2026. Death is a push and any verifiable time delay that is unrelated to court stuff gets added to the deadline. I agree he could very well try and fake an illness to delay, but if he has a heart attack, a stroke, or is in a coma, I don’t think a major hospital is going to lie about that. Do you? And that just means a push where neither of us wins or loses. I’ll eat the risk on any other illness that could cause a delay and you win the bet if it goes over 3 years. Other delaying events such as an earthquake, get added
That’s as fair as I can come up with. I also think we should keep the amount at $100. I’ve probably been going overboard. If you guys played poker with me or I knew you otherwise, I’d be trying to bet every last dollar I could afford to fund my retirement or a 2nd home when you lose. But I shouldn’t be doing that over the internet with anonymous people. I kinda regret making a $600 bet with rugby. Not that I don’t think he’s good for it, but it’s like a front end loaded annuity for me and I just gotta hope he doesn’t disappear or nothing bad happens to him to get my money back and profit
I thought jury was rugby. I’ve been doing this while working last two days. When I get a chance, I’m going to go thru everything and enter into my calendar
My understanding. As written in the post. Was that you pay me 20 every year he doesnt get got.
When he gets got, I pay you a hundred. I dont repay the 20s.
From a value of bet perspective. Everything past 4 or 5 years isnt worth much from an inflation, present value perspective. I figure it’s about + or minus 60.
Like. Even if he lives to 88 and doesnt get got. You just owe me 220. But heavily backdated and eroded by inflation. I dont see how this is a 600 bet
Melkerson proposed the jury bet and asked Cactus to set terms. Seems unfair that he’s now getting called out for doing just that (especially as his initial response included the illness qualification - if that is a deal breaker, then Melk is free to decline the bet).
fine $100, +170, just add guilty by jury verdict to above (as per my original proposal).
1159PM Eastern time on 4/16/2026
Guilty verdict by jury you win $170
No Guilty verdict by deadline above, I win $100
Death is push
“verifiable time delay” – we’ll talk about adding some time.
NMW/Ray Horton/Basic is back to stanning for cops and rich white men
Why does this cycle always go this way? Are you posting at other places as you ramp up from 1 post per week to 100 posts per day on 2p2/UP over the course of a year+ each time?
People here (including me) used to pile on him a lot more than even now (to the point where he will read my support as sarcastic dunking on him), with Cactus containment threads and junk, the effect of which on the victim I’m sure is the same as outright hatred
Yes you’re correct. I’m having a very busy weekend and have been hastily posting during some lulls. I noticed a few posts where I didn’t make sense. I’m going to go over everything in the next two days and clean up any confusion. Idk why I had 600 in my head. The way I see it is there will be a guilty verdict at the end of 24 or during 25, or I’m just giving you 20 a year til the mf’er dies
