Of course I understand what you're saying, but like you begging for a free tshirt, I just think you're being cheap. I'm willing to send you $30. If you are man enough to play me and beat me, I'll send you $50. If you don't, you don't owe me anything. Sounds like a damn good deal to me. You have nothing to lose!
Sure, in theory, there is $10 left on the table if you beat me (but you won't, so it's a moot point). But, someone (not you, of course) will beat me in one of these challenges sooner or later, so how about a little EV break for the guy who's fronting all the money? I will accept every single challenge made if we structure it like this. Consider it a chance for even more free money. If people (you) are scared and would rather just take the guaranteed money, fine... so be it. But if you feel like gambling a little and having a chance to win another 20 bucks, not to mention have priceless bragging rights...... let's dance.
I'm sure you'll reply, all whiny-like, saying how it's not fair and so on and so forth, and we'll just go back and forth forever and this won't ever happen, so maybe we should just save ourselves the time (and my dimes for all your posts) and scratch the whole idea right now. But just for kicks, I'll say again - since I'm the one fronting ALL the money here, I think it's reasonable or me to set the rules. And for God's sake man, we're talking about 10 bucks. Of course that's not a big deal to me, but multiply it out over however many of these matches I end up playing in (I am telling you now, I will accept every single challenge), and it could add up. So yeah, I want to set the precedent right.
