Gamble, no, there are no safeguards against me playing 59k of 1/2 and jumping to 10/20 in order to book a win. However, I assume that is a very minimal worry.

I will send all hands to a 3rd party, yes. I will send a sealed official transcript as well, both before and after the bet.

I consider a D a fail, my bad. I see really no difference between the two.

I dropped 2 classes this term, so I am in a kind of weird spot as to being a fulltime/part tme student. I will be a full time student again during the next semester. As you can see in the pic, there are 2 W's for 4 hour classes and 1 W for a 1 hour class this term.

Yes. Can even be a profit per month instead of over the entire course.

just saying, he's going to need to stop smoking weed if he has any chance. it's pretty obvious he's a stoner.

there's no ****ing way in hell i could pull this off.

imo the bet's degree of difficulty merits odds of 5:1 if not more

I think you could pay somebody intelligent like 20k to pretend to be you for a semester. They go into class from the 1st day as you and do it for the rest of the semester. Professors wont question you about an ID or anything. Even if ID is a problem, it is not that hard to get a University ID with someone else's picture and your name. I know couple people that have taken exams in 200 student lectures for someone else without any fuss.

I'll take 1k on the basis that it has to be a 4.0 across all subjects.

Not even close to getting the 50k min yet so I dunno. I will speak to a couple of people I would like to do it when I get the action, paster/wcg/dunno. I think a large % of the money will not even be in escrow seeing as it will be taken by reputable people in larger chunks.
