An idea.

After reading the whole thing with AaronEvil and LS, I thought "Why not come up with a way we can gamble, sans money and without there being a debate whether or not someone held up their end of the bet."
What would you guys think about having a sticky or just threads, and when people feel like "betting" on a sporting event, and the loser gets banned for a week. Site wide, just the Sports forum, their most posted in forum, I don't care. It would be easy, and I think fun.
So for example I would say "I bet a one week site wide ban that the Pats beat SD." Someone would post a response agreeing, and whoever loses, well, they fucking lose. I guess we'd need mod (aka OMR) cooperation to do it, but it doesn't seem like it's unreasonable.

This is a very cool idea, hopefully OMR thinks so too.

that was sort of the gist of the sig bet
but i guess it doesn't matter if people don't hold up their side.

Exactly why we have something they can't avoid. There isn't shit you can do about a ban besides bitch about it.

But it's easy to enforce a ban compared to the sig thing.

I like this idea. I like it a lot.

Maybe you should figure out something that doesnt have loopholes. You would hate the terms to be vaguely defined and have guy like me exploit the bet/wager. Then there will be a huge thread about how someone copped out because they didnt hold up their end of the bet to someone elses standards, even though their sig is within the standards of the bet made.

Maybe you should learn to read, because I'm pretty sure that's exactly what I did.
Look man, I already said I thought what you did was clever. Yeah, it's a loophole, but it's still a cop out. Part of me is just fucking around in the other thread. The other part of me agrees with everyone else because I have yet to see you put together an argument that either makes sense or that I agree with when it comes to sports.

It's about on par of copping out on a gentleman's wager.

I see loopholes in your system. But hey, what do I know? You disagree with me about sports and I was wrong about the Pats, I must have no credibility based on your biased and the fact I under-rated the best team in football.

Explain the loopholes. The whole point of this idea is to avoid that kinda stuff, so I would like you to explain it.
This wasn't supposed to turn into anything about you. We don't see eye-to-eye on sports. The Pats have nothing to do with it, you weren't the only motherfucker to think they weren't gonna go undefeated. This isn't an us-against-you issue, so stop making it one. I also don't see what bias there could possibly be here.

The only thing I've though of, by the way, was someone editing their post after the fact, which would be easily solved by having a third party quote the bet.
