Baseball is a team game; if the Astros lose, they lose.
I'm also not interested in a "wager", that I can't benefit from whether I win or lose.
I decline. I'll bet YOU, that the Reds win at least 50% of the games Oswalt pitches against them. If that's 4 games and the Reds win 2, I win. It it's three games, the Reds would need ...[text shortened]... tros won the series 8-4, I'd pay you $40. If the teams went 6-6, it would be a push.
Your EXACT quote was the Reds will own Oswalt.
It was not, the Reds will own the Astros in games Oswalt pitches.
You see no benefit in the wager structure? I thought you were a lawyer. You get a tax write off. and a chance to something good for those more deserving than you. Don't you want the world to be a better place...to help your fellow man?
If you are done backing up now, then I will simply dismiss your original statement as more false bravado uttered by you.

Originally posted by shortcircuitYour bet was BS. Even if the Reds knock Oswalt out in the first, if the Astros rally and tie the game and then lose, YOU get a positive. That's ridiculous. Only the most cowardly dog would present such a wager and then have the ballsz to say someone else is "backing up". If you're too chicken(expletive deleted) to bet that Oswalt can beat the Reds, just say so. I gave two perfectly fair counter-proposals for a wager and you're too afraid to put your money up. So be it; I'm used to Texans running their mouths but not having any guts to back it up.

The Reds will own Oswalt. But I'm not going to accept a wager where you can win even if they do.
EDIT: Come back when you grow a pair and maybe I'll be interested in taking some of your money.

Originally posted by no1marauderYou are such a one-sided individual. Let's flip it around. Oswalt throws a perfect game for 8 innings and leaves to a standing ovation with a 7-0 lead. The bullpen comes in, coughs up 8 runs and the Reds win 8-7...and YOU would win. Dumb dork, you don't even think your own lopsided scenarios through.

You know, any time you get a pair I'll be happy to come and let you see just how big and bad you think you are. Don't play your mouth card at me. YOU backed up on YOUR statement. Don't try and twist the words around because I stuck my foot in your mouth....again.

Make the bet or shut up. Oswalt's 21-1 against the Reds and you haven't even got the guts to bet on his team winning his starts! With that extreme yellowness, you wouldn't last 10 minutes in the City.

The fact that you survived "the city" tells me you either ran very fast, or hired a body guard. Don't ever claim you have guts when it is obvious you don't.
Whine about it all you want to. You said it and you backed off of it.
What a waste of breathable air you are.

IF Oswalt wins more than he loses against the Reds this season (W-L - no decisions don't count), you win.
IF he loses more than he wins against the Reds this season(W-L - no decisions don't count), I win.
IF he wins the same number as he loses against the Reds this season (W-L - no decisions don't count), it's a push.
Stakes: $25.
In or out, Mary?

Originally posted by quackquackOswalt is 21-1 lifetime against the Reds in 24 starts. The stats say I'm a damn fool to offer this bet.

But for some reason SC seems afraid to pony up.

Then he probably shouldn't have been the first one in this thread to dare someone to make a bet. Top of page 2:

I have no desire to allow you to wriggle off the hook and change the terms of your original statement. If your word is no good, then why should I believe you would pay off when you lost anyway.
I guess that makes you out to be a liar, because, as you say, the words don't lie and we all saw what you wrote.
