Should those that back out of bets be punished by 2+2?

Isn't proposing a bet, then backing out of it considered trolling?

I'm frankly tired of wasting time arguing with people that don't have any honor at all. Its very damaging to the integrity of 2+2.

Note the following incident concerning a bet that 'Craig' proposed then backed out of...

" "Just when i though there was at least 1 RedSox fan who had any integrity, one who's hobby wasnt spewing any hollow pro RedSox garbage he could think of, one who was more than just an in-denial slug who isn't worthy of response,

FIRST, HERE'S WHAT HE SAID EARLY IN THIS THREAD (CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF)

"Fine, I will be a homer fool. Someone hold the money and we can bet (Sublime, Clarkmeister, etc..) that BOS will win more games than NYY (same record is a push). Tell me for how much.

craig "

NOW HERE'S CRAIG'S PRIVATE MESSAGE TO ME CONCERNING THE BET THAT HE PROPOSED...

"Ummm..who there is going to hold our bet? They are not bookmakers; they earn a commission for allowing trades. I already bet it with somebody (read the thread). It wasn't as much as 1K, but he didn't want to have somebody hold the money, so he asked me to name an amount I would feel comfortable with if he didn't pay me. Anyways, read the thread. A couple of people talked me out of it. And I completely understand why.

SO ALL YOU WORTHLESS COWARD REDSOX FANS, DON'T WASTE ANY MORE OF MY TIME WITH YOUR HOLLOW STATEMENTS ABOUT YOUR PATHETIC TEAM.

The Redsox and their fans deserve eachother. They should be renamed the Boston COWARDLY LOSERS."

--Do you find these people worthy of your time, or do you think their cowardly actions should be supported by 2+2?

I am absolutely astonished that you have two *s

Yes, of course people who back out on bets should be punished by 2+2.

Unless, of course, the person being backed out on has the username "acekingoffsuit."

Oh, god, that's mean.

i wouldn't trust your dumb ass either. you wont transfer money to a respected poster, WTF do you propose?

you will most certainly be banned by the end of next baseball season anywho.

if you live in san diego we can figure something out of course

i suggested making the bet at tradesports.com.

what could be more fair than that?

so dont make asinine accusations until you know the story.

Would banning you be considered cowardly? Because I think there is near universal support for that action.
