So I upped it to 3k. He accepted. MAGA baby.
I’m not kidding.
Edit: to everyone worried about me getting paid: I’m not worried. These dudes are well off and we are all good friends. I even gave them the option to back out once we all agreed to it. They’re committed.
Edit 2: Actually let me tell you the funny part. The original bet was $1800 at 40:1. After we agreed I told them they had 12 hours to back out - no hard feelings. They laughed and said that I had 12 hours to double down so I said “Ok make it 3k.” It’s confirmed. Two guys are in the other side of my bet so it’s split between them.
Edit 3: black is me. Red is the facilitator. Blue and green are the guys I’m betting. This was all done over text.
Get it signed in writing in front of an attorney witness (cosigner) so he can't back down after the fact.
Write it so the winner is whoever is holding office on January 21st 2021.
