    yeah like normal people make bets that they can't afford.

    oh by the way, the bet lasted an entire NBA season. That's along time to accumulate money.

    Apparently, you don't agree that tipjar bets should be paid, cause tipjar bets go to Clutch.

    Did he say not to post hakeem vids? Did he say hakeem has nothing to do with this franchise? Help me understand, what was it that led you to believe he hated hakeem?

    Ever purchased a flight to the ME? Ever rented an apartment in a safe neighborhood in Beirut? Ever planned for a 2 month trip while still trying to pay off bills from school? If you had than you wouldn't be questioning me right now.

    I just don't understand why YOU are concerned with MY bet...

    I'm pretty sure clutch wouldn't mind when he received the DONATION as long as received it.

    I feel like a UNICEF Ad. You literally could have saved ~25 cents a day since the season ended and you'd have the money now to pay up by now.

    Could have, I didn't. Looking at the past isn't going to always change the facts of today. And the facts are still the same: I don't have the money, I still think jo mama is an ass, and I still am not going to pay. I really like how more of you are getting involved, though! Peer pressure didn't work on me when everyone started drinking in hs, it won't work now.

    I think if you just came out and admitted that you're a dirtbag who made a foolish bet, having no intention of paying up if you lost, most people would just move on.

    If that were the case, maybe I would. It isn't. You are choosing to ignore what I have said, or you just don't believe it. I can't do anything about the latter. If you are ignoring it I could just keep posting my explanation, but that gets tiresome.

    What to do, what to do.

    I've gathered that you're apparently so poor you can't save $50 over a 10-month span, which I suppose is impressive, and that jo mama was mean to you on the internet so you've chosen to renege on your commitment to the tipjar. All the while, you've given the distinct impression that you were hoping that if you waited long enough, people would just forget about it and this would go away, when in fact the exact opposite has happened, so now you're salty.

    Please fill me in on what I've missed.

    Umm for one it's none of your damn business. Two, the bet wasn't between you and him.

    Well the poor part is correct. The mean part is, while technically correct, not what annoyed me about him. The last part though is false. Like I said, until just a few weeks ago the bet was still on my sig so that everyone knew I wasn't forgetting about it.

    I like how you make me look like a tool though!

    What's very undude? And when did I become a "dude." Albeit, I use the word a lot so I don't mind, just kind of random to say that something is undude. I am not sure what that means, Mr. Labowski.

    Well it clearly wasn't me!!!

    We have different views on life, priorties, and how to deal with people.

    I don't like to be pressured into doing anything, if I am going to do it, I will do it on my own. However, I do not need someone constantly reminding me (even before the end of the season) that I need to pay up.

    I told him to stop annoying me or I wasn't ever going to pay, he chose to keep at it, I kept my word. I don't back down because someone gets a few online buds to stick up for him and put me down.

    You can call me a dirtbag or whatever you want, but this fact still remains: you are not my friend, your opinion of me does not matter, your words garner very little weight.

    I, however, implore and encourage you to continue your efforts for who knows one day maybe I will care about you, but I wouldn't hold your breath (or fingers I guess).

    Ah, so you keep your word when it's convenient for you to do so. I suppose that doesn't make you much different than the rest of the world.

    To tell it true, I really don't care, but I do find this amusing. It's a shame Clutch won't get that $50 though.

    Yep, the whole idea of the tip jar bet is that money is contributed back to the site .

    But I guess some people don't appreciate Clutch's work.

    Yeah, that's the bummer. He's not ripping off any of us, he's ripping off Clutch.

    I keep my word when I am not pressured and harrassed.
