Re: Interesting Article about El Cap and the a side bet about the TLB
BigSlick got HOSED!!! Basically this was all just a big setup to get 100K out of BS.

Re: Interesting Article about El Cap and the a side bet about the TLB
I can't say for sure since I didn't originate the bet but I don't think Big Slick got set up at all. I think he learned why you don't make a 100K bet without covering all of your bases first. AND, it's not like El Cap won TLB and Giga came in 2nd. JJ kicked butt and BigSlick's horse was down around 10th. How did BigSlick get HOSED?

Re: Interesting Article about El Cap and the a side bet about the TLB
I will say that this pretty much makes PS TLB a complete joke. Obviously it wasn't against the rules so no big deal from that standpoint. But the rules should probably be changed although I'm sure it would be difficult to enforce. But it's pretty tough to learn how to play against someone if the person playing changes. And I also read another situation where El Cap was taken advantage of allowing Boeken to essentially have two chanced to play in the Sunday tourney.

Re: Interesting Article about El Cap and the a side bet about the TLB
What do you call it when you get roped into a bet for 100K when you were making a bravado offfer of 1K while drinking? What do you call it when an older more experienced gambler tricks a young kid into taking a bad bet at horrible odds especially when the young kid doesn't understand all the rules? Absolutely he got hosed. That he entered into the bet of his own free (drunken) will is accepted. That the El Capo group didn't cheat is understood. But clearly they took advantage of him. He got hosed.

This was half way through the month when it was clear that Gigabet was a substantial underdog.

[/ QUOTE ] I'm amazed by this entire tale. It seems totally out of character (from what I know of Slick) to make a bet this big, much less without any discernable edge. I've heard that "Cman" was in fact MazeOrBowie. Any truth to this?

Re: Interesting Article about El Cap and the a side bet about the TLB
Haha, I am calm. For some reason my tone of writing always makes it seem like I'm on edge. CSC you make some good points and I agree with a lot of what you said. However, it's not like he tried to back out the morning after of whatever. He liked the bet with a conviction that really had me worried. The bet seemed so silly but he and Giga were both sooooo sure of themselves that I was a bit nervous something was up. Lloyd, I agree that the rules need to be changed. Sorry if I sound defensive, I'm really in a great mood!

Re: Interesting Article about El Cap and the a side bet about the TLB
Damn Schaefer, chill out.
Bad enough that you helped to cheat big slick out of 100K, now you're getting all *touchy* about it. Sheeeesh. Btw, did members of team El Capitano get a piece of the 100K?
