I won the bet! Of course the odds were 18 to 1 so the payout wasn't much, but a win is a win! :cool:

(For those of you who read this and don't understand, don't worry. It's not important anyway.)

I think it's pretty disgusting that you would turn someone's pain into an opportunity to gamble and then boast about it. I hope you are proud of yourself...... And you actually call yourself a MINISTER? Wow.

Someone else probably was thinking along the same lines...

When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots.
(Matthew 27:35)

zeroturbulence: I didn't actually bet with anybody about anything. My statement was intended to indicate I considered it rather probable that you would not leave the forum.

Perhaps I should have added a smiley or something as a clue. ;):):D:cool:

It's not whether you win or lose it's whether you win, lose or show. 18 to 1 odds. That's a very decent return on your investment.

No, that is backward. It was such a sure bet that the odds were 18 to 1 in favor... You risk $18 and if you win you get 18 plus one back.

Well then you need to grow the hell up. You are extremely immature for someone your age.

I can relate to this. He probably didn’t mean no harm, but I’ve left this site on several occasions, and I for sure would’ve have been sad if somebody’s going to be placing bets on whether I was going to return or not.

This is... unfortunate.

First, and again, nobody placed any bets. Or at least I'm not aware of any bets being placed.

In most forums I have seen there is always a small group of people who will occasionally say they are going to leave, then return after a very brief time. In this forum zeroturbulence is part of this group. I have observed him leave and return multiple times. I even remember one thread labeled toodloo or something like that, where I read the thread title and made a guess that zero was leaving, and he said I was very perceptive.

So when zero said he was leaving again, I guessed he would be back soon. When it turned out I was right, I tried to make the observation that I had predicted as much, but I couched it in a jocular tone by phrasing it as betting odds. It seems this did not work out very well.

Again, to my knowledge no actual bets were placed. I was just making an observation that I had predicted to myself that zero would return soon.

Clear as mud?

Me too brother. If you hang around this site long enough you will come down with this malady. There is no known cure.

Look, its obvious that you have absolutely no regard for my well-being or you would have apologized instead of mansplaining yourself like you just did, so do yourself a favor and give it a rest. What's clear as mud is where you stand on my list! So please get off my thread and stay off! This thread is for people who care!
