    In all seriousness, Im sure HCP has far more important things to do like screwing up replays during the game or giving camera shots of the crowd when Dame makes a dunk or something.;) I highly doubt he is giving this any type of serious thought, not at least until his season is over. IF he is a pro, i'm sure that's close to his mindset. :)

    Sly, You will ban anyone for a few bucks, why should you not ban them when they do not pay up.

    Because I don't get any money for banning someone who doesn't pay someone else.

    @KingAlbertoJrSpeed for $100 I will ban both @HCP and @Draco

    Cool thing about KingSpeed is that typically he is on the losing end of bets percentage wise when he makes the bets. Yet nobody expected this teams,success and fortunes so they bet him trying to have the upper hand. I give KingSpeed props for his bold Homerism bets.

    Any bet is totally unenforceable on a message forum and should always be that way. However if two posters want to make a wager at their own risk they're free to do so. I'd personally honor a clear valid bet if I made one.

    I'm sick of posting about the bet I had with Kingspeed so I'll aim for this to be my final comment;

    First off; its not a simple clear bet. HCP posted they never finalized their bet. Kingspeed continue to brings it up later after he was likely to win. If Kingspeed was losing the bet would he have brought it up? Would HCP have collected it? I don't believe there's any way those both happen.

    As Kingspeed often does he harps on his correct predictions, embellishes them, and ignores his wrong predictions. Kingspeed was never at risk to lose anything. What would've happened if I won the bet with Kingspeed? I would've joked about it but I never would've been paid for it and that was my expectations the entire time. Me and HCP never had an opportunity to gain anything with these bets. Kingspeed never had a risk of loss. So that makes the bets all invalid.

    Thus I don't believe Kingspeed deserves any profit from the Blazers success here since he didn't have a risk of loss. He can continue to post about how he was right and doubters were wrong. He's entitled to that. But in this case he's not entitled to any money for it.

    However I decided from a Karma perspective I deserved to lose the bet; so I gave away a $100 ticket to game 6.

    In the S2 Headquarters Building near the Moda Center, Denny should set aside a large room for bet-settling purposes. A couple pair of boxing gloves would be kept there. Doors would be lockable from the outside.

    Me? Okay. I bet you 30 bucks that you're right.

    I think we should continue to allow betting, but not for money. It should be for fun stuff, like fucking each others wives/girlfriends.

    No betting required there. That's like saying, "I'll bet you that water is wet."

    Bet your over/under points and leave money out of it would be an option.

    KingSpeed.... "Who'd you make a bet with? You never took my bet"
    "You're a horrible fan/person"
    "Get a life, get out of here, and don't come back"

    ....."You never said yes (to the bet)"

    I come on here to talk hoops and have fun with other Blazer fans. If somebody can find where this "bet" was finalized, go ahead. I honestly don't remember us both agreeing on it. I'm officially not supposed to be gambling on the team at all, but even if I could, I don't really gamble like I've stated before. Question my character all you want, but I wouldn't pay somebody off regardless after they speak like this to me for no reason whatsoever. King and I are cool when I see him in public. We are "friends" on Facebook as well. I have even hooked him up with tickets for road games last second in the past. Nobody's bringing that up though. But I don't let my father, wife WHOEVER talk to me like that. You really think I'd let some random person from a basketball forum do that?

    I told you in the past I don't associate myself with nerds and computer geeks, so having me on here should be considered a blessing. Denny compensates me VERY well to be here and I'm not going to mess that up.

    Funny thing is, I don't think I've even commented on this crap for 6 months. Same tin foil hat wearing ass clowns are the ones who ruin every thread bitching about this stuff....... and the same 8 cock gobbling haters who hate me and everything I represent and post on here are "LIKING" every time somebody tries cracking on me.

    MAGS owes me a steak dinner from El Gaucho for our bet last season. Do you see me starting threads and running around like some hack circus clown making a big deal about it?

    If he hollers at me if he ever gets in town again and wants to meet up.... cool. If I never hear about it from him, cool. Just two cool guys with common sense and actual people skills just talking smack on a forum. I don't take this shit very serious as you can plainly see. I wouldn't hold my bet against him and try to drag his name thru the mud. He has a successful career with a wife and kids, hobbies...... he's actually living his life to the fullest as am I. We aren't hanging on every word that gets posted in this geek convention you call a forum.


    Of the 25 or so of you low life virgins who have had the pleasure of actually interacting with me in the real world.......NOT ONE OF THEM can say a bad thing about me, my character or the vibe they got from me.

    Relax with this bullshit and move on. Support our team and get over this crap.

    The HCP is done commenting on this bitch topic. There Denny and Sly, I gave a pep talk to your lemmings like you asked........ #BlackMambaOut
