Prop bet. I will not accept any bets without being offered odds. Just because I am confident in my ability does not mean I think a 1:1 bet is smart.

The claim that was the basis for this entire idea, and you're putting $25k in borrowed money behind, isn't a 1:1 shot?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not at all. Do you honestly believe I am either going to have $50k or $0 at the end of 1 year? Personally, instead of betting 1k I'd rather turn that into 1.2 - 1.5k over the course of a year and not have to worry about if I will get paid or not.

Also, I am not the one who initially brought up betting, not to imply the other guy(s) weren't serious. Just saying that it wasn't my idea to begin with.

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.

[/ QUOTE ]I think he's referring to if he just took all his money and escrowed it and bet 2+2 he could get 20-30% returns on his money. He would end up with 0k or 50k if he did that. He doesn't want all or nothing, and once a more steady gaining system (ie investing).

Oh, well I assume it's clear to you, as it is to me, that that's got nothing to do with anything. Likewise, I'll assume shoe thinks the exact opposite of anything I can make sense of.
