And viff I think you need to pause and think what it sounds like when you say "if any arguments could be made then of course I'll make them and fight this thing"
Arguing against a debt just because you've got money to lose is extremely shady. Plenty of people pay up debts when it's a grey area and they think they possibly owe. It's gambler's honor. Think of how messy the world would be if every time a guy who owed money said "if there's a shred of an argument on my side I'm going to dig my heels in and demand arbitration because that's what anybody with money to lose would do"
I think you come across way worse in this than you think by saying "OF COURSE I'm arguing for my side!!!" the whole gambling world revolves around people putting their word and what they think is right above their financial interests
I mean Alaei actually is trying to figure out the issues with an open mind. He's not saying things like "anybody in my shoes would fight this", he thinks It's complicated. You seem to be arguing to avoid a debt and throwing anything against the wall that might stick
I have tried to talk to jungle man and settle this, He told me he wanted 95% of the side bet, r he was going to post on two plus two about me.
Alie and I are making same arguements, If i was just not going to pay then i would of never brought this up and hope tom won. Danny just chooses his words better then i do. Hes also better looking.
Sure im open minded, Its just hard when you know you have valid points and you have biased mob atacking you.
Is it valid to think i shouldnt have to continue to bet on tom after all that has happened?
Is it valid to compare this to a sporting event? I think it is, Its the closest thing we have, and it actually is.

If im so frivilous do you think a judge would let my case goto trial?
Lets ask matchboook, who sponsors tons of poker players what they think? IM guessing people already have, and we would of heard it if i was wrong.
