I expected better from you GR. You know you lost the bet. Welch if you like, if your honour is so cheap then so be it.

You managed to sneak in an Ottoman in the deal… perhaps you internationally misspelled it knowing that it would confuse me and I would just skip/ignore that part.

The deal was already *VERY GENEROUS* for you and you should’ve been happy with that instead of wanting to have the cake *and* the cherry on top!

Were you not a REMAIN supporter who decided to take me up on the DIFFERENCE it would win by?

Well then why the fuck should you also benefit from an EXIT? :?

Now you wanna talk honor! If you’re so honorable why did you disguise the meaning of the deal if not to cause confusion?


Are you serious ?

In a court of law such a contract becomes invalid if it’s ambiguous… and ambiguous it was because of a critical error.

Whether Milti or Sotos *do* compensate for errors in their heads; while reading on a forum or elsewhere, is beside the point because not everyone necessarily does or is obliged to.

Your section “or they loose” was meaningless baloney so don’t expect to capitalize from nonsense.

I had good intentions to pay up had you attained between 50.1% and 60% of votes but nothing outside of that.

At the end of the day we were both wrong because the EXIT won and let’s face it… neither of us expected it.

The only way he will pay up is if you drug the money out of him. :lol:

I guess you are serious then.

the bet is that remain have to win by more than 60% for you to win. 60% or less, or they loose, and I win.


That was the bet. You lost. You are welching on the bet.

I am not going to argue with you over it.

Criteria #1: remain have to win <--- Both of us were bound by this

Criteria #2: by more than 60% <-- I win

Criteria #2: 60% or less <-- You win

That's what I understood.

Erolz, did you really think he would pay you? If he did, wouldn't you feel bad about taking €100 from him? GR is known from talking nonsense and exaggerates everything... he is also known to have a huge ego. Would anybody with a sane mind place such a bet? If he really wanted to place such a bet he could have gone to a bookie. Betting €100 for "remain over 60%" would probably pay many €1000s in the case of such an unlikely outcome! Maybe you should settle for €10? ;)

Your are a programmer - you know what OR means

Criteria #3 OR they loose <--- I win

Like I say I am not interested in arguing with you. You agreed the bet. You lost the bet. You are now welching on the bet. That is what I understand and I suspect it is what most other people also understand. Will such behaviour inform my personal opinion with regards to you ? Yes it will.

I will make a final appeal to you GR to do the right thing, the honourable thing. Let's meet in Ledra Street. Let's invite anyone else on the forum who wants to, to meet up as well. Let's make a positive out of the whole thing. I will pledge to put up to the whole 100 euros that you own me, should you honour your debt, 'behind the bar' for all.

I know I would have paid up had I lost the bet.

I’ve already explained in *detail* how my brain operates when reading material from a forum which is often full of challenging errors and typos. Therefore the sentence…

“…the bet is that remain have to win by more than 60% for you to win. 60% or less, or they loose, and I win.”

…instantly failed my "built-in compiler" and tossed out the red section to extract the meaning. Now if you read it again WITHOUT the red erroneous section as I did, you’ll find a different meaning.

You created ambiguity and I’m not responsible for that.
