Sorry guy,no advice for you.

If the players have a rating of less than 800 I'd go for the guy with a rook.
If the players have a rating between 800 and 1400 I bet on a draw.
If the players have a rating between 1400 and 1600 I would bet on a draw and know why.
If the players have a rating of more than 1600 I will tell you the result after 48 moves, but likely...
I'm not supposed to tell you the truth?

Of course, I'm not sure about this, I was just guessing. It'll be up to an expert on the rules of this site. But until then, I'll edit my post.
Ark13:
Imho the theoretical result should be deleted...
at least for now

The game you linked to is a rook and pawns endgame.
don't rook and pawn endgames have at the very least either a rook or a pawn ... or perhaps even both?
what goes on there skeeter ... can you claim a draw somehow?
