The only thing you know is that the betting companies you make your bets with run their bets that way and you go along.

I think the problem here is that like a lot of people who bet with betting companies, you confuse these private firms as being part of or tied into the NFL. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth. These companies only know how to bill your credit card, they have no connection or clout with the NFL at all. So when there is a conflict between the NFL and the betting company as to which games count and which do not, unless the bet is between the betting company and a customer, or two private parties who have explicitly agreed to abide by the betting company's rules, the betting company's judgment counts for squat.

They and their caveats or loopholes have nothing to do with our bet. It's a Gentlemen's Bet for charity, and we make the rules, not them. The bet was that Darnold starts at least 8 victories in a 10 victory season for the Panthers, and when that becomes mathematically impossible to accomplish, the Red Cross and St. Jude get their donation within 24 hours. And not before. Under the cockamamie "rules" made by some outside company you adopted, Darnold can come off the bench starting this weekend, end up starting 12 victories for the Panthers this season and I'm supposed to still pay YOUR charities because he didn't lead the Panthers to 10 victories this year.. And you're the one complaining about caveats and loopholes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why aren't you? 1 hour ago, kelticwizard said: The question of what games count in what year is easily cleared up. These are all NFL games, so I take as the year the period the NFL defines as when the games count-in this case Thursday, September 9 2021 through Sunday, Feb 13, 2022. It should be pointed out that the NFL's own website refers to this period of time as "year" when listing statistics. So that's settled. 1 hour ago, kelticwizard said: It's obviously mathematically possible for the Panthers to meet or exceed the 10 wins, since they have four upcoming games guaranteed plus up to four more which they have not been disqualified yet from playing.

Oh, I'll pay up all right. Within 24 hours of the Jets reaching the point where the NFL says the Jets can't win 10 games this year. Which is NOT the point we are right now.

You can see he's already trying to pre-work in some weird caveat (despite agreeing to 10 wins without "conditions, loopholes or qualifiers") about how many games Sam starts so he can still avoid paying even when his Johnny-come-lately "Playoffs count on a pre-season O/U wins bet!!!!" condition he weaseled in is not met. And to think he said that I reneged on a bet because I wouldn't agree to bet on his terms with a million caveats and out-clauses for injuries. Yeah... lesson learned. Never bet a Darnoid.

jgb Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 ANNOUNCEMENT: keltic, as the winning party for this bet, I hereby release you from obligation. The American Red Cross has been taken care of by your generous fellow posters (and then some). Honestly, they're too good for your money anyway. It would cost them more to clean the stench off it than it is worth. Congratulations, you weaseled out of sending $25 to charity. Score for you!! PS: Anyone with a Twitter presence I bet if you tweet this and tag Darnold, he himself would also make a donation. Even he would be ashamed by his so-called supporters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelticwizard Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Quote (despite agreeing to 10 wins without "conditions, loopholes or qualifiers") And that's what I'm sticking to, the Panthers win 10 games without conditions, loopholes or qualifiers. And that means the Panthers show up for every game the league tells them to play in. Now you turn around and start babbling about how the Panthers can show up for legit games, win them but they're not supposed to count. When the NFL tells the Panthers there will be no more games for them to play in this year, then we stop counting. Not before. And if the number of wins is less than 10 at that time, the Red Cross and St. Jude get their agreed upon donation within 24 hours. 38 minutes ago, jgb said: ANNOUNCEMENT: keltic, as the winning party for this bet, I hereby release you from obligation.
