    I have never mentioned this before. I'm bound by the CBA, as part of our partnership with the Blazers. If I am, HCP most certainly is.

    I'm pretty sure gambling is a bad thing to do, wrt the CBA.

    Even a $100 bet.

    I don't condone betting, but I leave it up to you.

    As far as I'm concerned, HCP did something foolish, and it would be a terrible thing to make him pay, make it actual gambling, etc. It's his living on the line here. A reprimand or worse.

    I'm also of the mindset that HCP was joking about the betting thing all along.

    If he's going to bet, it should be in the $millions, and nobody would have to pay that kind of sum.

    HCP has embarrassed himself enough with his 23 win prediction. It is all in good fun. I hope we can keep it that way and move on.

    All you have in this world are your balls and your word, and you shouldn't break them for anyone.

    You know what? I have a bet for everyone on this forum. :) The bet is this:

    For those that thought that a draft pick would have been better than the experience of the playoffs, but are now willing to admit they are wrong and believe the playoffs are better, I will buy you a drink at Dr. Jacks. A one time gathering of a mutually determined date, among all those willing to participate. :)

    Is it too late to change my stance for free beer?

    Draco- Double or nothing?

    If the Warriors win the next round, you owe me nothing.

    If the Blazers win the next round, you owe me $200.

    Those who participate must quote their own link at one point stating it is better to get the draft pick than make the playoffs and then they must follow that up with some sort of crow statement. And it must read genuine. :)

    I don't see that at all. He's very passionate and there is nothing wrong with that.

    I asked @HCP that directly and he never really responded. If that is the case then him being the gentleman that I know him to be he should offer something else to @Kingspeed. Swag? Autograph? Something is better than nothing.

    Kingspeed is an "Actor" for a reason.

    we're arguing about a "bet" made on a fucking message board. Some people need new hobbies.

    I admit I was wrong, but I don't remember posting it here in the forum. Alas, I wouldn't be able to attend the gathering.

    Hope you guys get to enjoy the drinks and some playful banter!
