Say it ain't so, Scott!
I have highlighted in red the parts of your posts that I find particularly ridiculous. I have a question for you Scotty, you are aware that this is a sports gambling forum aren?t you? If so, are you familiar with the generally excepted rules governing sports wagering? If so, have you lost your freaking mind?
I would also like to know where in the hell you get off thinking that the bet should be cancelled or even adjusted because Scout.com changed their opinion about a player? You agreed to allow Scout?s final rankings to serve as how we would score this bet. Now that they have changed the manner in which they rank a particular player, you want out of the bet? I do not know about the sportsbook that you deal with but in my experience, once a wager is placed, you can not call up and have it cancelled simply because the conditions that you expected did not transpire. Let?s consider some examples of similar circumstances which I think bear a direct correlation to your shameless request.
Player injuries, suspensions, coaching changes, weather conditions and yes, even line movement. If any of these things occurred that were related to a game on which you had already placed a wager, would you even consider calling up your book and saying, ?You know, I had really counted on having Joe Tightend being available to play in this game but since he has been declared academically ineligible, I will either allow you cancel my bet or . . . . .?
Give me a f*cking break. That scenario is only slightly more absurd than the one that you present. Scout changed the way that they choose to rank Gable. Tough shit. It is what it is Scooter, and after the months of listening to your endless drivel about how my alma mater?s team was so much inferior to USC?s and how Mighty Pete Carroll and his Boys from Troy were invincible, I am not about to let you weasel out of this bet and frankly, you should be ashamed of yourself for even asking. I know that I have certainly lost more respect for you and at this rate, there is not much more to lose.
Believe me when I say that the last thing that I need is another Longhorn Championship cap as I have purchased at least one of every version that I have been able to find. It?s not about the hat Scott. Your display of incredibly poor sportsmanship since my Longhorns dethroned your boys from Troy has been despicable and this is just another example of that pathetic behavior.

95% probability USC lands 3 of the nations top 10 RB's. Moody is in (#10), and Johnson (#2) and Gable (#6) are silent verbals. They always can change their mind. USC also is recruiting 3 OTHER top 10 RB's who ALSO might commit. IMO Goodson is the one. That might mean Carroll gets 4 of the top 10 RB's in the country. I am betting and sticking with 3. I am game for a hat wager!
Are you? Everyone can use another new hat!
According to you, it is "highly doubtful" for me to win the bet!

Rest assured Scooter, I am ?an honorable poster? but the next post has me wondering about you:Scott4USC said:The bet is official. BUt I want to make one thing clear. If USC signs 3 or "more" of the nations top 10 RB's I win the bet. If USC signs 2 or less of the nations top 10 RB's, then YOU WIN the bet. We will go by SCOUT.COM top 10 RB's listed on the day of LOI.
Hopefully you are an honorable poster because you will lose this friendly wager!
