You know, I snipped out the reasons that I thought the bet was shady because I felt no need to drag people on the forums to your level, and I thought that you felt the same way, but, fine:
1) You never sent money to Berge20.
2) Your
post history is full of flaming people and idiocy - you're not what I would call a "respected poster". You've been involved in multiple bickering matches with people here.
3) You originally offered me $600/200, then changed your mind - Why, because you were sharing action with someone else? I asked for more, and *told* you that it was 2000:666, but let you know that I didn't have money on stars, so it would take me a couple days to deposit. Apparently this was some sort of problem for you. I showed Berge20 I even had deposited the money (we even played some microlimit razz while we were talking). Again, let me reiterate that you never sent money to escrow either (when you said you had).
4) I asked Joey to move the pillow (which was blocking the webcam), he said no.
5) Berge20 seems like a respectable enough guy, but I am not going to escrow him an amount that is nearly half his bankroll. No offense to Berge, but this board has enough "so and so stole my money" posts.
As I mentioned, none of these reasons by themselves are reason to "back out" of the bet, but I am careful with my money and have no desire to be chasing down people over the internet. I offered to lower the bet amount to something I felt was more reasonable (ie, that I wouldn't be pissed off about getting angled out of).
If you feel as though I am backing down, fine, but nothing has changed from yesterday to the day before. CJ was on pace for 589k when I booked the bet, and was on pace for 583k when I made other arrangements. I am still pleased with my bet, just not the circumstances around the arrangement.
I think money is worth being careful with, and I'm willing to take the abuse if the potential to be scammed is there.
