That's why this case might hinge on the nature of his agreement with Bodog, and whether there was ever any agreement for Leyser to procure celebrities.

The interesting thing is that it isn't strictly required that Gold had to procure celebs in exchange for his seat. All that is really required is that Gold promised half his prize in exchange for those celebs to Leyser and they agreed. Obviously, if Gold wasn't required to provide them, that makes it more difficult for Leyser to prove it, but as they say in Contracts 101 the court doesn't get into questions of the sufficiency of the consideration.

It occurs to me that I picked up a lot just being AROUND law school.

Its also funny to me how often TV and public perception about the law revolve around completely different decision points than real cases usually do.
