Finless 64 Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 Couldn't confirm the amount before today's 2nd round, so I'll gracefully let Fin off the hook. It looks like he'll take enough of a beating as it is..I would advise to fleece The Fin for as much as you can while the shtick is still hot.I miss the days when Fin was right once in awhileis this the thread where finless gives away money?

Just went back over the thread...looks like him and Chase edited it pretty good. Not really surprising.I've got no horse in this race, but didn't you say:"Sorry Oat, we're not on. I only cleared one bet and that was with PizzaDeliveryGuy. Figured if I wanted to see anyone get lucky it should be the guy driving pies around for a living."(That was post #435) Now you're trying to call out someone for welching on a bet that you had previously backed out of? That's lame.And you did welch out on a bet. Post #383:"Who wants Tiger vs the field?STRAIGHT UP!!!!!!"You didn't say anything about Pizza Delivery guy in particular, nor did you say you were limiting this to a single bet.

Binky The Doormat 12,659 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 (edited) Hello Da Busboy,We have transferred USD 100.00 to your account as requested by '________'.Good luck to you both.Regards,PokerStars Cashier:shrug:Where's all those Tiger apologists now? Binky? Anyone?The guy collapsed out there. Not the Tiger I grew up with.I wanted to check in - I got to watch up until the 8th hole or so - didn't see it but heard about it. Sounds like Wang (oh but the hat looks good on you) won it as opposed to Tiger collapsing. I mean chipping in for an eagle 2 coming in ain't too shabby. BTW - what's with "Tiger apologists"? I don't recall anyone apologizing ...I stand by the bet I proposed to you earlier in this thread - he will beat the Nicklaus majors record.

I wanna see more of that.....Make it happen USGA. I DONT like the drivable par 4's though...Agree on the first part but disagree on the second... Tiger hitting a fade into the atmosphere and landing it on the green on a par 4 is incredibly fun to watch. I think one per course like that hole can reward good players off the tee, add some variety, and still not turn it into the playstation version of Tiger Woods golf.
