This is even better than the P&R section (Urghs, somehow I have the feeling that someone will kick me very soon for my unsolicited comment *lol* ...)
I typed in Vig on the webster link posted.....it came up as Vigorish....which is some charge that a bookie or bet maker has to pay....some fee on top of the bet.....I don't know why it wouldn't come up for you, but the link worked fine.............sorry, I also was curious what Vig meant, after I read this post. Thanks Darth! LOL
What to help pay for is heart op witch he had done privately, why he couldnt wait 3 years on the NHS like everyone else i dont understand.
FWIW, Peter is good for his word and his dough. He sent me $50 for Girl Scout cookies....and didn't even take the cookies, just to help my daughter out!!
I think they are both acting like babies but Darth, you are not helping very much. Matterhorn should not have posted publicly, that was just dumb. "Peters, check you PM box please." would have been a better idea. You won, no need whatsoever to rub it in or publicly embarrass Peters like that. How would you feel? Would you ever do that to your men? I would never embarrass one of mine in a million years. Peters either needs to check his PM or have it forward to his email or shut the PM box down. But also, he knew he lost, did he not expect this? Why not be honorable and pay up? Did you not make the bet in good faith? If not who else do you ever expect to bet with you? Sending pennies too makes you look like a ass and a sore looser as well. You lost, cut a check and be done with it. Darth, as a mod you should have locked the thread when it started to get ugly but, most of all, not taken sides in the fight. Right or wrong, taking sides makes you look unfair. Mod's are trusted to moderated these types of disputes, not help cause them. Now how about a group hug and some boobie pics??
"Did you not make the bet in good faith? If not who else do you ever expect to bet with you? Sending pennies too makes you look like a ass and a sore looser as well. You lost, cut a check and be done with it." Dr. S: WTF's with this? Why would you even question my integrety? Why would you suggest that there was a possibility that I would not make a bet in good faith? JESUS!, comments like this REALLY PISS ME OFF! The money is in the mail, as I would NEVER welch on a bet!
Don't worry peters, I don't think anyone would doubt you. It's stupid to make bets if you do not keep them. It was the content of the last posts you made, that made you look like a soor looser, and might lead somebody to think you wouldn't pay up. Lighten up pal, I don't think anyone doubts your integrity.
I did not say you would. But this quote makes it sound that way. As I said, like a baby. I am making no judgement on ANYONE here. I think you ALL acted like babies. True, Matterhorn started it, everyone else just took it too far. How can you not argee with that?
DR S THAT COMMENT WAS FROM LEFT FIELD...NO NEED FOR THAT IN A PUBLIC CHAT SITE............A PM OR EMAIL WOULD HAVE BEEN APPROPIATE JONAS..YOU HAVE NO CARPET TO STAND ON............SINCE YOUR POSTINGS OF 2 YRS AGO WITH MATT LEMUS...YOU, MY FRIEND HAVE TO PROVE YOUR TRUST AGAIN...PAL....DONT TALK WITH FORKED TONGUE MYSELF, KNOWING PETER FOR 2 YEARS NOW, ALSO HAVE HAD SOME BUSINESS DEALINGS...........THEY DONT COME BETTER THAN HIM........
I do not doubt his integrity at all, but the comments are not stupid. It is an honest observation of the thread.
