I'm interested in playing defense on the double or nothing round.

Damnit! At the tire shop again after hitting another vicious pothole. At least I was able to drive to the shop this time instead if getting a blowout on the Interstate.

Hell I’m 6’1” and I could dunk with room to spare... 25 years ago.

3-1 and 3” shorter seems reasonable unless he was some kind of high jumper in college or something.

I want 3-1 on 2 months. How about the injury clause is just something unrelated to basketball. I.e I get hit by a car or break my face at softball or something.

Not interested at that rate. If you are interested in 2-1 hit me up.

That injury clause is weak sauce. Sacrificing softball to avoid injury in order to fulfill the effort is part of doing what it takes to win the bet, especially at 3-1.

An injury clause covering events unrelated to training seems reasonable. No one is looking to take advantage of something out of his control, and Robbo is an honorable type and wouldn't use it to angle his way our if he is on the verge of losing.

Part of the bet is doing what is necessary to complete the bet. In the same way he'd be sacrificing his time with the extra work jumping, he'd be sacrificing playing softball to avoid injury which would cost him the bet.

Having a clause that negates the bet for unforeseen outside acts (and softball is included in that) is reasonable. Anyone betting against him would want him mucking around playing softball and whatever else as much as possible.

To be clear, I'm not arguing against an injury clause in general. I support one; however, softball and other athletic type of activities shouldn't be included.

If you're getting hurt playing golf you're not doing it even remotely close to correctly

Turtle is spot on

If you participating in an activity or training and get hurt you lose - **** happens. Unless you’re Lebron James, it’s a risk. Welcome to becoming an old man. Every time I work out or play sports I’m 50/50 to come out if it a little messed up.

If you’re hurt by something out of your control- ie car accident it’s reasonable to end the bet without penalty

If there is something borderline ie you’re drunk and fall down- I think that’s probably on the side of control and you should be penalized/lose (unless you dunk of course)

You can definitely play but if injuring yourself doing so would mean you couldn't train or complete the bet I'd say that is on you.

But if shyt happens during everyday life then yeah, no worries don't sweat it. ie. If you go all Tarzan style like tootie and get hurt, I'd allow out of the bet for sure.
