Of course you don't win the bet. The spirit of the bet seems to be "when 10/20 is your main game." Otherwise it would just be a race to the 10/20 table for a few orbits after the bet was booked.

It's a reverse bet. The first one to 10/25 pays the other person.

Bones, I thought everyone was going to say "play 10/25 until busto or robusto." If even you won't say that, then I definitely won't.

Oops. Nah, I'd just consider this a tilting thing and not really in the spirit of the bet.

The fact that the $500 is a consolation prize clearly illustrates, to me, that the idea is you're consistently playing 10/20. tilt obviously != consistent play. I'd just consider myself lucky that the dude I bet with isn't a complete dick.

1. I was going to say that unless we know the specifics of the bet, how can we possibly make this decision? Then I read Newt's post and it makes complete sense. Don't pay.

2. Move up when you are ready and rolled to move up. Taking shots at higher limits is cool when you have some extra money, especially if you know the game is soft. Otherwise, why piss money away?
