Viffer is basically freerolling, in that his worst case scenario is that he owes only a part of the sidebet.
The idea that the xbook should remain for hands played going forward (which most people, even very smart ones in this thread argued i think) is easily the least likely way an arbitrator would ever rule and viffer's argument is clearly more reasonable.
The general assumption that i am freerolling is absurd, i stand to lose 150k.
There are industial standards when things like this happen as to bets just being cancled, its to keep people from being called angle shooters or freerollers.
Just like a dealer should call a string raise so the players at the table dont look like ass holes for doing it.
You guys are poker players not betters and threre is a difference. POker players are not close to a gambler, at least not the ones around here.
