Harris was named the starter and took the first snap of the season, regardless of whether the game counted or not. You win, no asterisk required.

Hello SabiDojo,

This is noted. I'll leave the original mistake there for transparency.

Thanks!

I get it but:

a) he was named the starter
and
b) he took snaps on national television and threw some passes

just because a weather event cancelled the game doesn't change what physically happened.

if he's still being a douche then I suggest to do what was said here earlier, double or nothing because you are winning that bet, and if he's not being a bitch and trolling you, he will relent and say you won. If he is an idiot then take double the bet because you will win it.

you won the bet.

but if you want the first game a no contest then go double or nothing on the second. it's win-win.

The game didn't count. Technically the season opens Saturday in Starkvegas.

There hasn't been an official snap yet.

That said there should not be "fine print" in bets between friends.

Harris is clearly named starter by Miles. Your buddy should pay up. He knows Harris is the starter.

I say it carries over to Starkvegas. McNeese State never happened.

Ok first off, I am the coworker who made the bet with bayoubengal225. The bet is that if Jennings takes the first official snap of the season he must forfeit his season tickets for the rest of the season. The kicker is, if Harris wins him the bet by taking the first snap of the season he in turn wins........NOTHING!!!! I am in a no lose situation so why would I not take this opportunity to rib my fellow coworker for another week. I say the bet is still on and carries over another week...

There is one play that made your friend lose: BH taking the first snap. Doesn't matter if he came out of the game after the 1st snap.

Beat up your friend for being a sore loser.

The bet had to do with starting, not finishing or completing. He knows damn well what he signed up for and that he lost. Your only responses to him from here on out should be telling him what a bitch he is. Every time, at every opportunity.

All references to the "first game of the year" will be McNeese.

Your bet wasn't specific enough for him to claim that it wasn't, i.e. there were no stipulations on the duration of the game or how long he played.

Had he been sitting next to you as the game played out, he should have paid up immediately on the spot, regardless of what happened from there on out.

Tell him to pay up or make it known that he reneges on bets and is not to be trusted; never bet with him again.

Let me put it this way...I had the under in the ULM UG game. The game was over the number when it was called. The bet cancelled and there was no bet at all.
