You called a bet. Maybe the other guy didn’t have a chance fast enough to say “you’re on” but you still called it. You owe him something. Maybe 5-10 magazines.

Come back and say "duh! I checked everywhere... cant find it. Where do you want your pmags sent?" or just have said nothng? Hence the need to formalize the bet... which wasnt done. |

You really step in it. LOL! Famous you have become, pmagless you will be! |

The OP in that thread saved your ass by just under 3 minutes. He posted the answer before your challengee could agree to bet.
Case closed! (slams gavel). |

View Quote Well since he wasnt on the bike and didnt jump the canal, then it depends if that was his practice jump... if that was his actual attempt... then he failed. This is of course predicated on him having ACCEPTED the bet BEFORE his attempt. Otherwise he might come here attempting to welch on the "bet" saying it wasnt accepted and post a poll or something. |

That is really only the easy question of the scenario. The real question, to affirm the contract, is what happens in that case when the dude fails to clear the jump on his bike? Does he owe or does he have recourse to say he never agreed to the terms prior to the jump? |

Wait a minute here. OPs title says arfcom will be the jury. Nothing said about aimless or subnet being the final resolve. He specifically asked us to decide with a poll. Now he’s crawfishing out of that request. OP is too impulsive and doesn’t follow what he says. He gets in trouble and wants to backslide. Go with the poll. I first said 5-10 magazines and it dawned on me.. he asked GD to decide his fate. We decided it and it’s 80-20 to pay up the case.

The bike jumping analogy is wrong. What happened was that the challenger bet that the challengee's bike couldn't jump the ditch. Then some other guy got on the bike and jumped the ditch first.

Why would anyone make a relatively expensive wager against a claim when they don't know whether the claim is true or false? I say you owe him the case of pmags if for no other reason than you basically called him out as being wrong with no proof.
You could call it a fools tax. |

On one hand something like this is sort of like "I'd bet a month's salary on_____" obviously not to be taken seriously.
On the other hand, I somehow thought a case is 10 mags, which could be taken seriously. I'd say send the guy 5-10 mags and call it even. |

Now he’s backing away from his statement that Arfcom would be his jury. I’m sensing a pattern here. Nobody forced him to offer a bet. Nobody made him offer to abide by the hive’s ruling. He did both of thise things by choice. After the first screw-up he could have simply said “I ain’t paying’” but no, he doubled down and sought our intervention to bail him out. He didn’t get it. I think he’s digging a deeper hole. |

Based on reading the thread, my stance is this:
If I was OP, I would have contacted the guy and offered to pay up 100%, but ask if 10 PMAGS would suffice, as it was an off-the-cuff comment, and 100 PMAGS is a lot of money. If he said "Nope. Pay up.", I would, as much as it would suck. If I was the bet winner, I would say "Just send me a PMAG, and call it a day." But my name is Paul, and that's between y'all. |
