Re: Jamie Gold Responds to $12 M WSOP Lawsuit
[ QUOTE ]
Legality of any agreement aside, perhaps the two decided to split the winnings, say $20-40k if Gold actually made it into the money, if the dude helped Gold find celebrities to endorse Bodog.
Nice little earner, no problems there.
But Gold actually made it BIG. How on Earth does this justify a $6M payday?

Answer: the law of contract. If the contract was that they split any winnings 50/50, then the contract was that they split any winnings 50/50. They both knew that the there was a potential to win $12 million. If you ask me, Gold is a complete f9ckign idiot for making this deal. Your reaction is a common sense reaction - the consideration by Leyser for the contract - getting a couple of D list celebrities to wear Bodog shirts - does not seem sufficient to get him a $6 million dollar payday. However, if that was the deal, then that was the deal. And Gold is an idiot for making a bad deal.
Just listen to Gold's radio interview and you will be routing for this guy to lose in the courts. Total douche.
