Won a 3 million dollar prop bet

[dDiabolical]

The IRS reads 2+2?

I think people are WAY to scared of that crap. It's a public forum with 80% of its' members spewing [censored] on a daily basis, do you really think saying you won a $5k or even $50 billion coinflip is going to make the IRS hunt you down?

Grow the [censored] up!

Recently I bet a well known poker player (who requested to remain anonymous) that I could walk into Congregation Ner Tamid and lead an entire service posing as a Rabbi. Using my excellent beard and cunning Hebrew skills, I won this bet. Given that until the time the bet was placed, (about a month ago) I had not practiced Judaism at all, nor spoke a word of Hebrew, I believe this to be one of the greatest prop-bet accomplishments ever. Please discuss.

1) If true your nickname is now "The Rabbi" and will forever be known by me as Barry "The Rabbi" Greenstein
2) My guess is that "The Rabbi" bet Daniel Negreanu that he could do this because in his April 1st blog Danny wrote a fake piece that Barry was quitting poker to become a Rabbi.
3) If True, Funny. If False, its probably Sebok goofing on daddies account.

Even if they did, BarryG doesn't seem like the kind of guy who cheats on his taxes.

Mazel tov Barry. V. Nice brag. I'm also assuming it was vs Elezra, but whoever you bet on this had to be a big favorite (jews usually know their rabbi's at temple and learning hebrew in a month is unheard of!!!!!) Props to you.

Barry said he reads posts here, I am sure he will comment if it is not true. I thought it odd also but I have seem the show "I bet You" and thought it might be possible.

Baggryg's account have been hacked for sure.

He would never write "please discuss" in a post like this. I thought it was very obvious from the start.

"Excellent beard" and "Cunning Hebrew skills" seem out of place as well. I didn't catch all this until a closer reread, though. Now I think this is a prop bet between Barry and David Sklansky that DS couldn't write a post on BG's account and fool NVG.

the OP doesnt sound like barry at all, so it could be a prop bet about anything at all, even just about how many replies the thread gets.
