I'm sure his boozing and whoremongering is just a cry for help, an inner turmoil he's felt since he was a young man, with a deep sense of inadequacy. So he strokes his flaccid ego, hoping no one will notice that he popped his shoulder out of socket patting his own back, hoping that when his liver finally cries for mercy and he leaves this mortal coil someone will have something nice to say about him.

Well, here's your chance GaG. You don't want to "subsidize my failure"? Fine. But I don't make bets unless we share an equal amount of risk.

So here's my offer: The wager is on whether or not Governor Scott Walker will be recalled, regardless of whether he wins or loses the election that recall would cause. The wager will be in effect until his first term is up.

We'll bet what I make in a half day's work what you make in a half day's work.

But here's the kicker. You don't have to subsidize Willy at all. If you win Willy has to donate what he makes in a half day's work to any cause you like. It could be the Koch brothers funded Cato Institute, the American Petroleum Institute, hell it could be the US Chamber of Commerce.

But if I win, you have to donate half a day's pay to an organization that actually does good in your local community. How about an organization that helps homeless children in your area? How about The Atlanta Children's Shelter.

The ball's in your court GaG.

I have proffered a simple wager, at GaG's nagging I might add, where we share an equal amount of risk. Nothing more, nothing less.

How much I make is a matter of public record. I'm a GS9 Step 3

I'll trust GaG's word on how much he makes.

I offer donating the winnings to a charity (remember, GaG is free to name his own should I lose), just to demonstrate that I'm not insisting that we share equal risk for my own personal gain. Besides, if I won I was going to donate to a homeless shelter anyway, this way at least GaG can show his local community that he has some human decency in him, even if it's because he (should it happen) lost a bet.

The way I figure this wager is 50/50. The same as a flip of a coin. It's GaG's choice if he wants to chicken out of it or not.

Speaking of which Mein, I wouldn't name Wayward Latinas as a charity. As I understand it from a few documentaries I've seen, child prostitution is commonplace in Venezuela.

I see "you're off the fucking tracks again" !
Shit-----I support you against that prick Gov Walker & the idiots that support him here & generally, about 75% on issues on this board & you pull this "pussy nonsense"?! Damn----I should pull back my support ! WTF is with you?! No wonder liberals get a bad rap on this board ! & what's with this "madiba horseshit" psychoanalyzing GaG ?! I know the guy--he's certainly not that way ! Thing is, you're cheap & acting wussy about a bet, so these "preconditions have to exist". I took the bet, because, with Gray Davis precedent, saw it as a good deal.

Lemme explain my betting philosophy : been a bettor for about 35 years ;like playing the horses, video poker, etc. Not a BIG bettor---when I have provider session & stay overnight at Vegas hotel, routinely expect to lose $ 100 gambling, which is peanuts to many. When a friend comes to town & stays 2 nights at hotel, routinely expect to lose $ 200-300; no BFD.

In '92 election, friend bet me dinner & drinks that George bush Sr would win election & I took him up on it. Won the bet & collected, as I expect GaG to do with me ,or vice versa. More recently, I bet a relative that Sharron Angle
would win the Senate seat ( thank God I lost that bet ); I honored my word & paid up promptly.

Willy, my business not so great right now, but I certainly can put up a $ 50 bet. No balls to do that. As many can attest to, am obnoxious asshole, but a man of my word. There's not much to that.

Willy, when GaG laid down a bet marker & if you're too afraid/cheap to accept the bet, you coulda declined, saying you have financial troubles or, put down a small bet ( $ 20 ). But, you didn't & acted like a jerk instead.

We already have an idiot troll ( Fair_Use ) on the board---do we need you acting up like a second troll ? WW, as said previously, I think you can be extremely bright many times here, but
then you spoil it with crap like this. I'm extremely disappointed.

Lastly, did I forget to say fuck you, willy ?!

I wonder what Willy's excuse for being a stoner is?

Only someone stoned out of his gourd could come up with as much dumb ass shit as Willy, and just like most lazy, do nothing stoners, Willy expects productive people to subsidize his worthless life.

"I've never heard of any kind of relative risk, sliding scale applied to any gambling activity other than the amount of the wager.  F'rinstance, if you put 5 quarters into the slot machine, if you win you will receive a larger payoff than you would have received had you only risked 1 quarter."

We're not playing a slot machine. We're playing against each other. One wins, one loses. 50/50.

"This plan you have of betting 50% of your daily earnings against what you only imagine the daily earnings of GaG to be is the most unheard of thing I've ever heard of, and is redolent of sleaze on a cellular level."

It's sleazy to say we share an equal amount of risk? So I should enter into a wager where I assume 100 times or more risk than the other person? Do you think I'm a fool?  

"You currently have 7 reviews in the TER system, while I have 44.  What if providers based their charges on how many reviews hobbiests had written?"

If a provider wanted to base her fees on how many reviews someone has, that is her prerogative.

"You also wrote:  "I wouldn't name Wayward Latinas as a charity. As I understand it from a few documentaries I've seen, child prostitution is commonplace in Venezuela."  So,are you implying that GaG is some sort of perverted chicken hawk?"

Hey, you brought it up.

So I won't even try. lol

"Thing is, you're cheap & acting wussy about a bet, so these "preconditions have to exist". I took the bet, because, with Gray Davis precedent, saw it as a good deal."

Pria, I said out front that I don't make bets. GaG nagged about it, and I offered the terms of that bet. I altered it after he complained as a compromise. Obviously, the only reason why he would decline such a bet is if he reasonably believed he would lose. If that is the case, I don't blame him for declining my offer.

"Willy, my business not so great right now, but I certainly can put up a $ 50 bet. No balls to do that. As many can attest to, am obnoxious asshole, but a man of my word. There's not much to that.

Willy, when GaG laid down a bet marker & if you're too afraid/cheap to accept the bet, you coulda declined, saying you have financial troubles or, put down a small bet ( $ 20 ). But, you didn't & acted like a jerk instead."

Sorry to hear about your business Pria, but I fail to see how I'm being cheap by expecting GaG to risk the same amount as I. I figure before taxes I make around $100 for a half day's work. That is what I put on the table. GaG is free to accept the terms of the bet or decline.

why am I full of shit? Or are you just name calling?

The odds of winning are not being rigged. Only the payout, and that's to ensure we each share equal risk. I would also note that the risk seemed to be the only thing GaG took exception to.

Willy not only wants to change the odds, he also is weakly attempting to change the entire ber.

I don't know why I am even bothering to respond as I would not make a wager with Willy of any kind without having him "escrow" his wager with a trustworthy third party. Willy has proven time and time again that he is not an honorable person.

Would anybody like to give me odds on my chances of collecting from Willy in the event he loses?

The one thing he has accomplished at least is to prove what a socialist he truly is. Odds are not determined by "ability to pay", not even in Charlie the Commies world.

willy" The odds of winning are not being rigged. Only the payout, and that's to ensure we each share equal risk."


Willy has often bragged, how little he is required to actually work , other than showing up and posting on TER, for his guarantee to  steal a paycheck.
Though I've never heard of such a thing in betting circles, a  equal risk in wagers seems fair, in Willy's  case.
My wager $$$$$$ says, Willy actually "produces" less  in a month, than gambler does in a hour.
IMO a fair bet,to even the differences in production income, Willys month of wages, versus gamblers hour.

How lucky I am , my boss refuses to hire, Chili and Burito, Aficionados.
If he did, I would be much too busy and exhausted, plunging shit and cleaning restrooms, to find any time, or energy to post.

All you have to do is accept the terms of the wager. I won't hold my breath.
