The payment you make if you ‘prove’ yourself wrong is considerable and the payment if you ‘prove’ yourself right (by providing a video that you offered to provide freely prior to this outlandish scale/bet you presented) actually now is much more considerable because if a poster chose not to pay you the 250 who’s really going to be outraged at the poster if they didn’t ‘follow through’ with paying you. But if they ‘reneg’ on not paying the charity of your choice by your own words that would make them not a ‘stand up person’ because you yourself said you think Iggy_oi will pay on the bet/charity you choose because he’s quote ‘a stand up guy’. I’m hearing myself 100 present and I stick to my label of what this bet is, it’s one born out of coercion because 1 the scale/payout is set to an outlandish disparity in payouts and the payout that ‘favours’ you now is to be payed to a charity and if the payer doesn’t pay well I guess that makes them not ‘stand-up’ at least in your eyes.
Ridiculous.

What a ridiculous take. Read back. I offered to send my $5000 to a long time poster on CP.
All I heard were crickets.
How is the bet favorable to me? I would be the one losing money and not gaining anything. You're making 0 sense.
He lost the bet. He should pay. Simple as that.
