Signature Betting Thread

[maxu05]

I thought I would start a signature betting thread. In 2006, we had a similar thread, and I had to have some terrible signatures, (thanks Ryan/Fatman), so, I thought this would be great to do again. We didn't see any of this for 2007, but as I have some spare time on my hands and I am feeling bored, I thought I might kick it off for 2008.
Here is the low down.
Pick 3 riders that you think will take 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Another member can challenge you with your picks against his/hers. The loser must use the signature of the winners choice until the next round begins. You must display the signature that you wish the loser to display before the bet is finalised, this way you know what you are getting into. I said 5 riders in the 'Who will be on top' thread, but, to keep it more simple, (I have trouble counting past 3), we will keep it to the top 3 positions.

My Picks for round zero at Jerez.
1) Casey Stoner
2) Colin Edwards
3) Valentino Rossi
Any takers for the first signature bet of 2008 ?
Come on, don't be chicken :crazy:

[NinjaMaster]

I'm in but I'll need more thinking time.

[maxu05]

The test starts on Saturday, so have your bet before midnight on Friday I guess.

[Corny]

1 Stoner
2 Rossi
3 Lorenzo

[maxu05]

Would you like to bet against my signature Corne ?

[Corny]

Would you like to bet against my signature Corne ?

Uh... yes ;)

[maxu05]

Ok then. If I win, you must display this signature until the first round in Qatar.

maxu05 is amazing, he's a legend.
or,
My dream is to ride naked with Mr T on a moped wearing only a Michael Jackson glove.

Your choice :laugh:

You must tell me the signature you wish me to display, should I lose.

[Roby44]

Ok then. If I win, you must display this signature until the first round in Qatar.

Where would one be placing that glove!! ;) :p

[MrJan]

I'll probably be in on this idea later in the season, although will only be able to have short sigs as the Exeter City scores will remain until May :D

[NinjaMaster]

1. Stoner
2. Hayden
3. Hopkins

"I go down as often as Randy!"

Any takers?

[Ranger]

1. Stoner
2. Hayden
3. Hopkins

"I go down as often as Randy!"

Any takers?

:laugh: :laugh: Good luck finding any!

[MrJan]

1. Stoner
2. Hayden
3. Hopkins

"I go down as often as Randy!"

Any takers?

I'll bet against that with: Stoner, Dani, Rossi (unless one of them isn't running, I rarely keep up to date with any off season goings on)

If I win you can run with "Dani Pedrosa - I most definately would :love: "

We got a bet?

[NinjaMaster]

You're on!!!

[maxu05]

Now that is a bet :laugh: Come on Corny, what signature do you want to bet ?

[Corny]

'Kawas are gay'

Sorry, couldn't make a better one :p

[maxu05]

OK, It's a bet. You do realise that ninjamaster , neninja and ZX10R_Shaun are not going to like this if I lose :laugh:

[MrJan]

But you're the one running the sig John so only you canbe held accountable :p : :D :laugh:

[NinjaMaster]

Your ass will be grass John, you better win. :)

[maxu05]

The pressure is on now. If I lose , I will have all my fellow Kawasaki fans breathing down my neck, for at least 2 weeks. On the other hand, If I win, Corny will be off on a naked tour with Mr T on a moped with a rhinestone glove :laugh: remember to clench those butt cheeks really tight Corny :laugh: :D

[The Phantom]

I'm in, as soon as I'm sober enough to work out how this works :)

[Corny]

I'm afraid I've won, Maxu05...

:d

[maxu05]

Come on Edwards, what are you doing :bigcry: ?????

[maxu05]

Thanks Corny, I now have the worlds worst signature.

[maxu05]

By the way, who won between NinjaMaster and Mr Jan Yeo ?

[NinjaMaster]

That's a good question John. Have we both dodged a bullet? (What a cop out that would be! :D )

[MrJan]

Not quite sure. We each had two right and I wasn't sure if it goes to a tie break of the highest placed other rider (hope not as Dani didn't run) or we both lose and use the sig, or both win and do bugger all :confused:

[maxu05]

bast-hards :D I have to have a crappy signature, and you two get off scot free. Oh well, look out who ever bets with me next time :laugh: :devil:

[NinjaMaster]

Going to have to draw up some iron-clad rules there John, I reckon. Somthing along the lines of:

1. Betting shall take place between 2 or more participants with signatures as the wager. Whoever loses the bet, must run the designated signature for an agreed amount of time. Once agreed to, all bets are binding unless alterations are agreed to by all parties concerned and no closer to the event than 24 hours. There can be no cancellation of bets.
1.a. In the event of a draw, all particiapants are deemed to be losers (nobody won :) ) and both must run the bet upon signatures.
1.b. Should there be no result or cancellation of event, the bet is deemed null and void.

What do we reckon? Fortunately for Mr Yeo and me, these rules cannot be backwards compliant. :D

[maxu05]

Sounds fair to me, lucky for you two though.

[Corny]

Maxu05, I'd say that the second line can disappear:d

[maxu05]

Maxu05, I'd say that the second line can disappear:d

I was thinking about that today actually. The first line states that Kawas are gay, and the second gives the thumbs up to Kawas. I see your point.

[Corny]

Prediction for round one then?

[MrJan]

Fortunately for Mr Yeo and me, these rules cannot be backwards compliant. :D


What's the matter, not brave enough to run the sig? :p : :D :laugh:

[NinjaMaster]

What's the matter, not brave enough to run the sig? :p : :D :laugh:
Fine then. :s ailor:

[maxu05]

:laugh: Hello sailor :wave: ;)

[NinjaMaster]

Why, hello John. ;)

[Roby44]

Settle you two :)

[MrJan]

Oh great, as if running these sigs isn't bad enough up pops Roby completely signatureless to rub it in our faces :p : :laugh:

[maxu05]

Another bet for the first round Corny ?

[Corny]

Sure:d

My top 3:
1 Stoner
2 Rossi
3 Pedrosa

You can keep the same signature :p

[maxu05]

OK your on.
1)Stoner
2)Rossi
3)de Puniet
And Mr T has the glove ready :D

[Corny]

What if both de Puniet and Pedrosa don't make it to the podium Maxu? Guessing the polesitter?

[NinjaMaster]

Dammit John, you lost another bet. :mad: Please win your next bet, that one is depressing me. :)

[maxu05]

It is certainly depressing me. I got the Stoner part right, but I wouldn't have thought that Heehaw and Dani would spoil the party.

[Corny]

Indeed, Kawas remain gay :D

[maxu05]

Blah, humbug :laugh:

[maxu05]

Hi Corny, nearly time to get the bets sorted. Care to bet on the Spanish round ?

[Roby44]

Indeed, Kawas remain gay :D

They are a happy crew aren't they?? ;)

[maxu05]

We just have a different perspective on life ;) :laugh:

[Roby44]

We just have a different perspective on life ;) :laugh:

Thats ok.. It takes all types to make the world.. :eek:


Be a bit odd if we were all the same wouldn't it?? ;)

[maxu05]

I am not gay, I just lost a signature bet :bigcry: aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I will hunt you down Corny :laugh:

[Corny]

Hi Corny, nearly time to get the bets sorted. Care to bet on the Spanish round ?

You know you take a big risk after 2 times losing:d

[Roby44]

I am not gay, I just lost a signature bet :bigcry: aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I will hunt you down Corny :laugh:

No I don't think you are Gay!! You seem a bit unhappy today.. Not Gay at all.. :laugh:

Sorry I couldn't resist that one!!

[maxu05]

I must win the next bet though, or people will start to talk.

[Roby44]

I must win the next bet though, or people will start to talk.


But didn't you choose Randy to bet Valentino???? :eek:

[maxu05]

Well OK, maybe that was a bad call :laugh: But, you never know, one day I will pick the black sheep and come up trumps.

[MrJan]

I am not gay, I just lost a signature bet :bigcry: aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I will hunt you down Corny :laugh:

I don't remember seeing anything about that. Come to think about it haven't heard from your wife in a while either ;) :p :

[maxu05]

I don't remember seeing anything about that. Come to think about it haven't heard from your wife in a while either ;) :p :

The wife, (loudanfox) has started a new job in exporting, so, she has very little time to get online. I will try to encourage her to say G'day when she has a day off. It's great that she is making some cash though. Less shopping money I have to give her :D

[Corny]

Ok here goes mine:
1 Stoner
2 Rossi
3 Lorenzo

[maxu05]

OK,I'm in,(fingers crossed this time :D )

1) Stoner
2) Pedrosa
3) Rossi
What's the bet Corny ?

[Corny]

your signature: Kawa's AND I are gay :D

[MrJan]

Nice :up:

[maxu05]

OK then, your on Corny.
Your signature - Why am I here, when I could be watching the ballet.

[Corny]

Hehe :D

[maxu05]

So, who has one this round ?

[maxu05]

Wait, I think if you take Stoner out, I have won :D , enjoy the ballet Corny :laugh:

[Corny]

I've got 2 places right, so I'm afraid that the Kawas remain gay ;)

[maxu05]

I think we need an arbitrator, as if you rule out Stoner, then my #2 beats your #2 and my #3 beats your #3 :D Perhaps, we should agree on some ground rules , so there is no confusion. As you can see, I am not scared to bet and lose, but we need to clarify how it work. Kawa's can't be gay forever can they ? :disturb:

[Corny]

I'd say 3 points for putting the right rider in the right place
2 points when you're one place off
1 point when you're two places off
and that this points only count for places 1-3, of course
agree, or have you got a better idea?

[MrJan]

I thought it was a predicting thread, therefore person with the most correct predictions wins.

[Corny]

maxu05; I'm afraid you have to put 2 words extra in your signature..

Corny posted on 21st Mar 08, 13:24

Kawa's AND I are gay :D

[MrJan]

Tut tut John, shirking of the rules carries grave penalties. And if it doesn't then it bloody well should :p : :laugh:

[maxu05]

DOH ! :laugh:

[Corny]

How about a new one maxu?

[maxu05]

How about a new one maxu?

OK, I will post my pick tomorrow, but your sig is.
It's so hard to find a comfortable bra ?

[Corny]

1 Stoner
2 Pedrosa
3 Rossi

your signature: Kawas are as bad as my predictions!
That's quit a nice signature if you ask me :D

[maxu05]

Ok, my picks
1) Rossi
2) Stoner
3) Hayden

[maxu05]

Ok, my picks
1) Rossi
2) Stoner
3) Hayden
Are you a C or D cup ? :D

[Roby44]

Ok, my picks
1) Rossi
2) Stoner
3) Hayden
Are you a C or D cup ? :D

Picking Stoner and Pedrosa ahead of Vale...I'd say E :eek:

[Corny]

Ahum, Maxu05... I won it again :) I'll stop with it right now, as I'm afraid I'm too good for you at this :p

[maxu05]

My God, I am really having a shocker. I thought I would do alright, as I saw Nicky was doing well, then he binned it, Rossi was up the front and leading away, then got taken by the midget and the one with the 'Punchable Face'. Oh well. I had better quit, before all my fellow Kawasaki fans lynch me :D
