Just make a counter-offer for a 30-second minimum and see how he reacts.

There shouldn't be any minimum, so it would be dumb to counter offer that.

Completely agree tho that micro shouldnt get to know what the slope is after he guesses. He guesses, it gets written down by judge, isnt told if hes correct or not, next angle is set.

Also, he really should be stepping off the ramp each time and not getting to see it being adjusted. Standing on the ramp you can tell if its going up or down, so you gain info for your next guess.

Please put tooraretodie in the containment cage pronto

lol at a minimum. How about a maximum of a minute? That would make a lot more sense.

ED being disingenuous about why the 4 minutes was included.

However, I never "harped" on the 4 minutes. I offered it and it was questioned; I asked if that was a problem, and I never said another word about it nor said it was a deal-breaker without it, but there certainly was a lot of harping about the 4 minutes by many others...

I originally stated to be visually correct to within 1 degree, nfw. I still agree with that, but I offered that he can stay on the slope between changes and other reasonable offers since he'd want to physically inspect the slope.

Increasing the margin of error by 100% for an expert solar panel guy is like wtf? Give me 40 hours, a 25 degree span, 2 degrees above/below, and I'll hit that range like Tiger hitting the green on a par 3, despite my inaccuracy of the slope I ran (going out there in the morning).

I'm not going to say you are a fish at prop bets, but I'm also not going to say you are not a fish at prop bets.

Great, we are finally going to find out why you threw that in there and have given no answer to the obvious requests that it be removed

Here it comes.....

oh

Yes, I'll let El D or David Sklansky elaborate...

I have never stated that this was an absolute stipulation. I've stated that before. Does that not qualify as an answer to you?



What's this? There's a huge difference between 1 and 2; it's called 100%. Might seem like one number difference to you, but when exact measurements are small, small increments are large.

LoL,

He said he could do about 1 degree. You said nfw can he do +/- 1 degree. NFW obviously deserves some nice odds. So I was looking for a fair compromise. If 1 degree (which he never even claimed) is NFW then 2 degrees seems reasonable for even money. I even suggested that maybe we could compromise at +/- 1.5 degrees.

It's pretty clear you've already decided you're never accepting this bet even if we do agree to terms you offer, though.

El D,

its kinda like LoL was just talking **** and when it became visible that he might be called out for the 10k he decided to make the bet so weird that it would never happen.

I will take a lot of action(if there is any left) on this bet! 1.5 degrees would be fine with me.

LOL is all talk, small, tiny, micro dick for sure.

The idea would be to provide stimulus to solve the mystery of why such a dumb idea was included in the initial proposal, which interests me far more than any actual bet.

You did say another word about it, but what you did say was pointless. Your question was answered.

Any harping could have been short-circuited by offering a better reply to microbet's objection than:

That leads to the response:

LoLDiablo

27, badaci, baduci, badugi, a5 mix offer still open.

You guys must have traded pms to determine that my proposal is +EV for you and micro to bait me here, but whatever... I can be on a plane this Saturday, or anytime thereafter... for the most part, (weekend of August 18th, Labor Day weekend and the weekend after are out, and then I'm good until Halloween weekend), so when and where? Really would hate to go back to Vegas or LA right now; will go to Florida (think that's where micro is) would be cool, but I'd need to coordinate with family so we can hit some Disney World, too.

cool, your obscure poker mix is still open. ::thumbs up::

What mix did you want?

You are just trying to angleshoot. This bet is about his accuracy, not his endurance. Clearly you just want to wear him out without proving his abilities accurately.

Rapini,

Let's try not to derail this current topic. That could lead us down a slippery slope.

But do you know the angle of that slope?

Curious to hear SoCal's response though because it looks like he's being an opportunistic sniper just recently out of nowhere when it seems to me like he's the one who is pussyfooting around with the poker challenge with LoL.

Edit to add: was slow pony on SoCal's response. Sorry about that.

Sounds like you're on opposite ends of the possible options spectrum and it won't happen because neither of you are looking to compromise, much like it doesn't look like microbet will soon be surfing on any fake mechanized roofs because ElD and LoL have drawn their profitability lines in the sand and they're fairly far apart.

greear needs containment again. please. please. please.

If not specified during the deal, is it permissible for LoL to use a strobe light and weird music in an attempt to disorient microbet?
