Ideas for a wager?

Posted on 04/15/2015 6:45:53 AM PDT by MNDude

I think it's time for another FreeRepublic Wager. Basically, we decide on an event that's going to happen one way or another shortly. (Like who would win a sporting event, or if someone on trial is found guilty or not guilty.)

Everyone makes their predictions, then after the event has passed, those who predicted incorrectly agrees to pay $20 in donations to FreeRepublic.

Several months ago, we had a thread on how SCOTUS will rule on Obamacare (still pending), and hopefully everyone will keep to their pledge if they predicted wrong.

So...your ideas?

Free Republic could open up a casino. The Indians in Oklahoma are making a fortune over people’s inability to control their vice of gambling ... LOL ...

Don’t forget to throw in the fact that a portion of the proceeds will “go to the kids” ... that’s always a nice touch! ... :-) ...

And get Jim busted for a gambling operation?

In this very toxic political environment I wouldn’t give the eponymous “them” any reason to harass the forum host.

Cruz for takes everything. My $100 against first-comers $300. That’s 3:1 odds on a Cruz Presidency.

Your on.

You pay in $300 if Cruz does not become President? I’ll pay in $100 if he is.

Other way around.

Prolly, I don’t know how to state odds like a bettor.

Damn, I suck at betting. I pay 300 happily if Cruz wins. You pay 100 if anyone else wins.

How’s that?

Ha! I’ll pay $1000 if he wins. Next idea?

I’ll pay $1,000 in order to help ensure he wins.
