This thread fulfills its function perfectly.

It's absolutely obvious what it's about (and even if you are too dense to realise from the title you only need one visit to ascertain it's content).

Thus people who have concerns have somewhere to post questions and get responses whilst the rest of the forum index is not cluttered up with dross (at least, not 'rigged' dross).

If you lock and flush you'll still have new (and possibly misleadingly titled) threads knocking around all the time.

I don't understand what you're saying? You want to buy out for $800? But your wager was only $50, wasn't it?

I am amazed how basic math things get by you so easily. How can you not understand what he was saying????? Yet be one of the main proponents on this site for the statistics proof of non rigged sites... I think you fluked on the AP/UB thing.

What are you even talking about?

I'm glad your posts have degenerated even more because it means you are that much closer to being banned (again). Maybe try to act with a little more maturity on your next gimmick.

Care to explain what you are talking about? What's the basic math you are referring to?

Usually people offer horrible buy out odds like that when one side seems to be a clear favorite to win. That definitely isn't the case for your side. But you seem like a special fellow so I'm sure it makes sense in some weird way to you.

lol, the chance to buy out?

How about this. Since you're so sure of yourself I'm giving you the chance to increase your action. So far you've put up 50 at 25 to 1. I'll take another 200 of your action at the same odds if you want.

k, unignored to negotiate....

So let's see. You think you're on the verge of winning the bet. You offer an 8 to 1 buy out. The person you're betting with counters and offers you MORE action at 25 to 1.

Your response is to offer worse odds and timeframe than what you initially offered?

Confirmed you're out of your damn mind.

Back to ignore. If you want more action using the same odds as before, just say the word. I'm sure somebody in this thread will notify me. Until then, I'm not wasting another second reading your bs.

It makes no sense to allow me to buy out of the bet when I'm such an incredibly hot favourite here. That's why I thought it was weird and didn't make sense.

wtf, no.

I'll offer a counter offer to enable you to 'buyout' - I'll take the $50 that you sent to me and donate it the Australian Wildlife Conservancy (http://www.awc.org.au/) and we'll call the bet off.

That way, I'll get a tax deduction, and you get the benefit of knowing that you've indirectly made a contribution to protecting cute and furry animals.

You also can have the pleasure of knowing that your money isn't still held by me. This offer isn't time limited to today: you're welcome to ask for this at anytime in the next five years. I'd be happy with you agreeing to the implication of this that PokerStars' random shuffle is legitimate.

So he can claim that on day 364 of the 4th year?

yeah thats the grey area. No one can define a true test of variance so as time goes by and people's samples get larger, so does variance.

You're not really losing. Its selective memory, that has been proven using MATHS. Youre really winning. Go buy a fur coat.

If I may quote a classic:

Mr. AMEC, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone is now dumber for having read it.
