You can't make a new account without asking permission. That is considered alternate account and can get your secondary acc permabanned and your main acc baned.

You toss too much predictions and then call yourself right on then. So I proposed a bet and asked how long for your prediction to fulfill... I took your answer as acceptance... gave two options for betting terms, either never call oneself a good predictor/reasonable analyst/logical thinker or permaban. You can choose... the winning condition for your is X1 pass PS4 between March 11th and April 20th and stay ahead, I win otherwise... Altough if you were expecting X1 to outsell PS4 weekly by 100k (effective basically November 1st - and in november in average was 100k each of the 4 weeks) then X1 would close the 1M gap by January 10th... So if you were right about that then you will lose the bet by pushing to far... for your prediction to come right (let's assume 500k Gap starting 2nd week of December, by your post on 100k weekly) X1 would have to outsell PS4 by an average of 39k weekly for March 11th or 25k for April 20th.... quite far from your 100k but who knows, could happen.

Ready to take the bet or shut about how right you are on your "will overtake soon" threads?


THat doesn't mean that you have to edit your signature to:

1) Claim I have already  accepted the bet

2) Claim your own condition, it seems in case you lose, you have decided yourself the nick change, how is that fair?

 

I will accept the bet if the conditions are reasonable and precisely defined.

Up until now I don't see any of that, you already invented the conditions yourself, and claim I have already accepted it.

Nope... the terms are the same for both of us... Either stop thinking and calling oneself (who loses) or ask permaban, you can choose which... another user gave the alternative of asking permission to return as Toastboy Jr. for you or FlamingWeasel Jr. for me (this I choose the name, because being pro Sony I couldn't be a panda).

You can choose one of the two conditions, I'll accept any of them.

The terms are reasonable, altough you expect X1 to outsell PS4 100k weekly you gone for an average of 1/3-1/4 of it in your range, if you preffer to antecipate the date so it resonates with your 100k weekly I would accept.

I changed the sig because I understood you giving a date was an acceptance of the bet.

My point is, why get banned, and lose all your posts? It's the same as making a new account yourself.

You asked me when I think it will happen, doesn't mean I accepted the bet in the first place, we didn't even agree on the conditions.

I am not running from anything, I didn't accept it in the first place.

Those look like bettin' terms to me!


And reasonable. If both parties are so certain each is right them the terms are ok.

I don't understand why everyone is acting like I already accepted the bet.

Please take the time to read more careful and your signature change still claims I accepted the bet.

Say you will chicken out and stop making those claims and I will change it, or accept the bet since the terms are clear.

So.... you lack confidence in your predictions. Come on, Drill, you were always super sure about yourself, so why not take the bet? After all, you'll win without a sweat and the loser will have a pretty entertaining penalty.

I am refusing the bet out of principle because of all the bullying  and harassement towards me to accept it.
