Yet only a small fraction of the cash raised is used for charitable purposes. By the time the professional fundraisers take their cut, there isn't much left to do much good.
this is different from government how?
Spoiler:
its different in that it still more efficient,the incentives are less wacked, and negative externalities are less.
Lol... my phrasing was totally fine in everyday conversation. Yes he has somewhere between a 0% and 1% chance of winning, just like many other things that aren't going to happen.

max i'll take those odds how much money you putting on it?
Or we can do it even money with escrow and I pick a candidate as well (Bachman, Palin, Pawlentey etc) and we push if neither get the nomination. Much better than having to escrow 10k to win 100 when it is better just to put it in a bank.

That's not what you originally said though? You said he was 100:1 or something...
Are you being purposefully obnoxious? He said he didn't care if you escrow.
Sigh...you have no idea what you are talking about. We are negotiating via PM. He wants some form of escrow... he would be insane not to.
(Even ignoring the fact that you are not privy to the PM negotiations your post is still bad given this is a poker forum. There is no incentive to take neutral EV bets.)

ftr, i pm'd him (unless i imagined it, which tbh i imagine sending messages way more than i'd like to admit) for odds talk but he's not responding
Okay, I'll leave it alone after giving one big LOL @ you.
nah you should leave it alone. i changed my mind when i realized i'd be risking $100 (which I'd obviously definitely pay) to win $10k at 100:1 which I have no idea if max raker would pay. basically he'd be free rolling.
