    The question is... What would you do if someone made you bet your life? THEN we know what you really think.

    I call bullshit. Betting your life doesn't determine if you truly believe in what you believe in. I am 100% certain that I will drive my Mercedes to work in morning. Maybe the mercedes doesn't start and I need to take my Jeep? Would I bet my life I will drive my Mercedes to work tomorrow? I would tell you to fuck off.

    If its all true, I'll accept all your apologies.

    Still 100% confident he stays.

    haha. I never lost faith. I guess it helps that I never take anything the spin doctors... I mean, the media, say... it's all to just waste time, they don't care about the truth.

    The question is what if someone forced you to make the decision.

    Tell me about it. But you gotta remember Kingspeed is the king of hyperbole. Only fitting he would use an extremely scenario

    I think KS point is talk is cheap. Sure is it easy to say I'm 100% sure LA is going to stay even though there has been reports saying he is not staying and no reports saying he is definitely staying . . . easy enough to be a homer and say I don't care what reports say, I'm 100% sure he is staying. What have you got to lose? Genius if stays, Blazer homer if leaves.

    Forget betting your life, what about a gentleman's bet of a couple hundred (which has been done on this board before) Easy money if one is 100% sure . . . but fact is strenuous won't bet money because he isn't 100% sure . . . which again is I think KS point.

    What about you mags, you got money to burn . . . $250 bet or row A center court tickets bet? I hate to make the bet because I desperately want LA to stay, but I think it is more likely he leaves than stays.

    It will be fun to read Eric's extreme rants now that i simply don't have a use for that either way. Life is too short. You opinion is yours, and if it differs from mine, then so be it. In the end we all want the same thing

    I'm a poor ass college student. That would essentially be my life in a bet. Not doing that.

    Also, I'm a compulsive gambler. So I'm not even going to touch wagers.

    $200 is your life? OK how about you step down as staff member if you lose bet and I'll put up $200. I'll double your life's worth . . .

    Also, if you are 100% sure, is it gambling? If it was me, I would take 100% odds any day. As a compulsive gambler you have to appreciate those odds

    In the end he is putting his name and his forum reputation on the line with such a prediction...I would say that's costly enough...
