An Fcp-style Prop Bet


Recommended Posts

Basically, I had a $5k propbet with 10:1 odds (meaning I win I get $50k), that involves this poker forum, FCP. I'm not a very well known contributor here, I'm sarcastic in a majority of my posts but occasionally I'll answer seriously. I'm primarily a cash game player/SNG player (which contributes to my anonymity) but I play a donkament or two now and then, but being in college it's kinda hard to find the time. Anyways, when I made the bet I thought it was money in the bank. There were 3 stages all with substages and the flowchart can be found here (FWIW, if it's not listed, I get 7 days to do it and unlimited amount of posts):5kpropbet.jpgI bought out for $3k today and just had to say, I hate you all for not helping me. The other bettor even let me "ask for help" in the first stage and no one helped me because he knew if I asked, no one would. LFT I guess I helped resurrect the "check box" with that thread as the use of checkboxes increased like crazy after that. But, unfortunately, we agreed it didn't count for my last one of "starting a trend" because I wasn't on the 3rd Stage and I was just resurrecting a trend. SIGHHHHHHHHH.FWIW, after I lost Stage 1, I tried to overuse the checkbox thing, but it obv wasn't working when everyone was using it. I then tried to overuse something else, that I can't think of right now, but it didn't work. Then I tried to overuse the Gib/Baxter switch and that obv wasn't working. And then I lost Stage 2 tonight and just bought out because:A.) if I can't even get flamed by 5 FCPers, I won't be able to create a trendandB.) The buyout included me not having to switch my avatar and signature to those of gay pornstars for the next 6 months like if I had lost straight up.The person who pwned me can step forward if they want, because for some reason they wanted to remain anonymous. Oh yeah.....I almost forgot....[x] I hate you all.

That would have been the easiest prop bet to win and you failed?^^^^^^^^^^^^^I hope that helped you in your current prop bet.
No shit......I don't know how I failed, I woulda done it for even $$$ the whole way, let alone odds.And no this thread is not a prop bet, I just thought I should let you all in on my misery as I think it's a pretty elaborate/fun bet and thought some of you might find it entertaining.

Wouldnt you realize half way through making this thing up that it wasnt funny/interesting/or gonna get you known around the forum as you so desperately seek
[x] I thought this bet was +EV[x] I thought this bet was funny/interesting[ ] I care what you think about me[ ] I care what FCP thinks about meIf I cared what others thought of me, I would play MTT's non-stop and try to get recognized, but alas I don't.Edit: Just realized you thought I was making this up, I misread ur post. lol @ u thinking I could come up with something this elaborate on my own.

Do I get anything for "that thread" being my thread?
If only I had won.....basically my plan for the superthread one was to include you in it as anything you touch turns to 5 pages minimum.

That was the point, if you succeeded it was easier or of similar difficulty (as said in that mhoward superthread I linked to) but if you failed it got harder. Hence why I bought out.

Yeah, getting banned is insanely easy, and all step 2 took is being funny or paying someone to laugh at your post.
I couldn't pay anyone to do something for me, and that was part of the bet but it was more of a trust thing. Basically, to anyone who knows me, I'm a really honest guy and I would feel horrible about it if I cheated a friend out of $$ and would probly end up shipping back the $$ and my $5k too and be out whatever I gave others. The other guy trusted me enough to do this. I did seriously consider cheating after getting owned in Stage 1, but didn't, obviously as I got 0 people to flame me. :club: I still think this would be an easy bet, had I put more time/thought into it, but I didn't. SighhhhhhhhhhAnd yeah getting banned would've been ridiculously easy, basically post 20 porn threads and I think it would've covered it. Then beg/plead Bob to let me back on FCP after explaining the bet, and I think he might have.
