What happens now in richie/tsop contest?

[Nicky Santoro]

I need to know because i booked some action on it at matchbook.

now that richie says he's out for 6 weeks because he's got personal issues, what happens now? Is this contest official?


Does richie forfeit and automatically lose to tony since he's trailing?

Does the contest continue in 6 weeks?

Has contest been cancelled and no one wins?




I need to know if i should pay out bets or wait or is it cancelled..

[ZBOIZ]

tsop wins

[onthewhat]

no action

kind of like tennis, when guy retires

[mmike032]

Tsops call, he could take the money
or he could agree to postpone the challenge

[Nicky Santoro]

knowing tony...this is what i think he'll do..



what will tony do?

Cancel -165
Wait it out +145

[Mudcat]

Depends entirely on whatever was agreed on up-front between them. I have no idea what the rules were but they must have agreed on something. Search it up and see what it says.

If they are actually doing a contest with no agreed upon rules then (a) they're idiots and (b) based on the few clues I have picked up here and there it was a contest for the month of February and Richie would lose and should pay TSOP on March 1.

Matchbook wagers would be graded accordingly.

[mmike032]

I think he'll wait for Richie to return.
no alot of pride in winning on a forfiet

[onthewhat]

Actually, contest was for February. Tony can just sit on his lead now and at end of month if Richie hasn't made plays then Tony wins. Wait til end of month.

[sickler]

Not that it matters in deciding a winner, but who was ahead when the contest took this turn of events?

Ok, that answers my question.

[Nicky Santoro]

unless tony comes in and says it's cancelled.. i foresee a lot of problems we are about to face here.. this ain't gonna be pretty at all.. i doubt richie will just give tony 500 bucks if he dont make another play again on acct of what he has to do. this has all the makings of getting very very ugly in the next few weeks, unless tony just agrees to cancel.

[wtf]

nicky, did not know about this rich delay issue.

what makes you think after six weeks he will return?

if he was ahead he would have continued.

wtf,

i am staying out of this one.. i dont want to get involved. i have no comment.. we'll let them handle it their way.... i know what the right answer is here but i refuse to give my opinion on it out of respect to both players. i am NOT getting involved here.

[wtf]

HOLY shit you are involved, you said you took at side on matchbook

you cannot be more involved

[Nicky Santoro]

HOLY shit you are involved, you said you took at side on matchbook

i know i am involved and thankfully, i hardly got any action on it.. it is pennies.. imagine if i had 4k to pay out or 4k to lose? wow, i am NOT doing anymore of these contest things at matchy.. too dangerous.

i am involved, but i am not going to involve myself in any decision on what should happen. i will let them decide what they want to do..

[Slim]

If both players make a play then the bet is action.

[Mudcat]

The guy fell behind in the contest and suddenly he has personal issues so serious he can't type a few coin-flip picks on a forum?

Has all the initial markings of a weasel-out. I hope I'm wrong but let's face it, the guy has been shilling for a penny-ante credit shop. Doesn't strike me as someone with a lot of (a) pride and (b) gambling money.

As I say I hope I'm wrong.

[nosniboR11]

tony wins, rules are rules , if a game was late it did not count, this was a one month contest and at the end of the month Tony wins,

[tacomax]

i am staying out of this one.. i dont want to get involved. i have no comment..

OK - so that's why you started the thread then.

[SlickFazzer]

we will have to get the attorneys involved.

[Tsoprano]

No, I win if he can't post plays for a couple weeks.

I'm not post-poning it. My contest with Iwinyourmoney has already been delayed 6 months, we agreed on Febuarary and that stands.

Currently Richkas is down about 5 units. We can always have another contest down the line.

[pavyracer]

Richkas should pay up or shut up. This is no toddlers game. This is an epic contest between two gentlemen. If one decides to forfeit then so be it but he has to pay up first.

[wtf]

is being in jail a valid excuse?

i say no, it is his actions that put him there, he loses too bad

[Boner_18]

A forfeit is a loss for the purposes of the contest. As for the action on Matchy I think it should be no action as the match was not completed.

[roasthawg]

T wins.

[Tsoprano]

is being in jail a valid excuse?

No

[jjgold]

Tony when do you want your cash??

[bbyhill]

Being in jail is no valid excuse and I told you TSOP he wouldnt pay esp if he couldnt even pay me f***n $20

[bbyhill]

Tony when do you want your cash??

he has to wait till the end of the contest

[SoCalFisher]

he has to wait till the end of the contest

Im thinking that time is now.

[bbyhill]

The contest for the month of Feb

[konck]

Contest runs to the end of Feb why would it be any different.

[Matt Rain]

No

Agreed.

WTF did Uncle Richie do anyway?

[Nicky Santoro]

i don't know what decision will be, but if richie has to pay, then he should find the time to post some picks if he can.. right now, tony's favored about -185/+165 as we speak.. so richie basically still has about a 35% chance at winning 500.. much better than a 100% chance at losing 500 dollars. thats a big swing. he still has a better than 1 in 3 chance of winning.

[Tsoprano]

Remember, there is a limit of plays that are required to be submitted and a penalty for each play missing under that requirement.

It is obvious Richie does not want to continue though.
