Default OT: Do I owe skipperbob money?

I took a sidebet with skipperbob on wether Raptor would finish up and down on gambling in Vegas. I took up. (I dunno what i was thinking I must of been drunk.)

Given the following info do I owe him money?

"Grats on Your Win; Good Job...I think you owe me $50 on the Raptor sidebet = ""well on table games and [censored] in vegas i LOST like 3300. however i made 3700 online during one set of sngs.. so ill let u be the judge. -David" -Skipperbob.

To clarify Raptor lost $3300 being a fish, but won $3700 playing SNGs in his hotel room.

Raptor was in Vegas and won $400.

If the bet was "Would he win money FROM Vegas" (As in take the money out of Vegas) I think it may have been a different answer.

Semantic issue here. I think you're getting jobbed, but you hafta pay up. I would make raptor pay half [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I assume you were on the side that said he'd make money, but you should clarify that.

He made money in vegas, and [i]SB owes you[i] money... unless you made a 1-0 bet.

You could argue semantics here, but I think you do lose the bet. The bet was worded gambling in vegas, and technically he did win money gambling in vegas.

Semantics of the bet are so murky that I'd call it a push.

I think when Raptor moves to Vegas I'm going to set up a casino in his garage. Then he can just funnel his SNG winnings straight to me. I even promise to put some of it away as a college fund for him. Name me a casino that's gonna do that?
