I'm not deflecting. I'll concede the NrL appears the more even comp, especially since the AFL is expanding aggressively. Whether this translates to increased interest is the main thing. So far it doesn't seemed to have for either code.Dogs wrote:and like clockwork, you deflect off the topic. =D> As I have said previously, there is a whole thread for that. Stay on topic pleaseXman wrote:Fair points. Shame it hasn't translated to better crowds. They've decreased almost every year for the last 6! Seems the low scoring may help keep the comp even but some people are finding it all very dull.Dogs wrote:Wrong again XMAN, the NRL has been a very close comp for the last few years and is getting even closer. Here is a couple of facts for you:
Penrith are coming 3rd last and got beaten by the sharks (who are 3rd) in extra time 2 weeks ago, I think they will be the wooden spooners this year, but are still being competitive.
The Titan's are coming second last and have had two wins this year. The first was a 18-0 win against the Cowboys who are coming 4th and the second against manly at brookvale were very few sides win.
Parramatta are coming last and were beaten by one try today against Cronulla who are 3rd and two weeks ago had there first win against Manly who are 8th.
There are two wins between 2nd last and 4th place. If your comp is even close to that after 7 rounds come and speak to me.

If you're not willing to bet these teams cant win more than 1 misely game against an opponent in the top (cough) 14 for the entire 1st half of the season then you really dont think much of GC Melb Brissy and GWS now do you Xman?![]()

Re: round 2 the AFL one sided games & smashings begin
You were aware of the proposed terms for losing as I made them and you read them a few days ago. You knew what you were betting on bigboy now stand strong by your words and hang in there till round 12. You have a chance and imagine you win. Its all in fun.
On a side note you going in and looking at brisbanes schedule AFTER saying "sure" to the bet illustrates your guilt quite clearly. Take the bet and the chance or be forever the man who cannot stand by his word xman.

Re: round 2 the AFL one sided games & smashings begin
Wrong. I was not aware of the terms. When you outlined them I was going to complain the terms were a bit harsh but I thought I'd check the lions schedule first before I made the final agreement. Shame they only have home games against the top three and bottom 3 teams before round 14! If they were 6 games against teams in the middle ladder I would have taken it for sure.King-Eliagh wrote:You were aware of the proposed terms for losing as I made them and you read them a few days ago.

Re: round 2 the AFL one sided games & smashings begin
So ahhh tell me Xman. When someone puts a bet to you and you say "sure" that means "sure but only after i think about it some more and then i can pull out" ???
Is that what "sure" means in your book?

Xman this is one of your best. I'm cacking myself laughing here. Seriously, you told us thats what you did straight away and then called me a cheat! Then you came back with the sorry excuse that you never agreed on the terms. The order of your actions is all mixed up. Your case has been blasted to smitherines here, imagine if we were in a courtroom....
KE's Lawyer: So Xman I see you have said sure and agreed to a bet?
Xman: Yes, but then i realised i actually wasnt sure and i looked up what my chances of winning or losing were.
KE's Lawyer: So the actual bet was laid out clearly as GWS, GC, Brissy and Melb wont win more than 2 games against teams other than themselves before rd 12. And you agreed to it.
Xman: Yes.
KE's Lawyer: And then you went and checked your chances and disagreed?
Xman: I, I, well its like this, I didnt know
KE's Lawyer (cutting Xman off mid sentence): Yes or no Xman. And then you went and checked your chances and disagreed?
Xman: yes.
KE's Lawyer: I rest my case your honour.
Judge: Case closed Xman to receive 10 dumbarse points and the avatar of kes liking for 3months. Xman you are the most sorry sore gutless bum I've come across and I've been adjudicating 30years. Get out of my courtroom!

You described the terms after I said sure. I was about to ask for them anyway. Therefore you obviously knew I hadn't agreed to them.King-Eliagh wrote:You never said "sure what for". You said "sure" and then ran off looking at Brisbane lions schedule. Then you said "shiiiiit im no hope for this one!" and came back with some half baked lie to weasel your way out of the bet.

Stop being a spoilt little girl. You and I both know they only have 3 home games against teams above them before round 12. These are Geelong collingwood and westcoast. There is no way in hell they'll beat two of them.
As if I would agree to a bet like that!

Oh this one's over. Night Xman, thanks for the laughs. Lets sleep on the bet eh and maybe in the morning you'll see what a mess you've made and stand up and take the bet on. You knew the terms days ago and the bet was clear. I might be lenient with the terms a little if you wish to change them...if im feeling generous in the morn that is.

Re: round 2 the AFL one sided games & smashings begin
Oh dear, he's on with the word "context" again.
Xman its this simple. You agreed to the bet, then your very next movement was to check your chances. You all of a sudden felt your chances were slim so backed out. It's all documented in this thread and is very clear what you've done. Again, if this was all about the terms of the bet or the wager so to speak then we would be discussing it. Instead you put it in reverse and backed out as quickly as possible. As Raider would say beep beep beep.
If this was not the case then you would agree to open discussion about the terms of the bet. I'm happy to reduce the avatar bet by half to 6 weeks and reduce the dumbarse points by half to 5. What you think?

Re: round 2 the AFL one sided games & smashings begin
You agreed to the bet then pussied out because you thought you might lose. That is crystal clear. Now if you havent agreed to the terms of the bet, let's discuss. I'm a fair man and have reduced the wager to half what it was, what do you think about that? I'm open to offers Xman. Now no more brrrk brrrk brrkbrrk from you ok.
