Betcha!
We bicker a lot on this site. I just had an idea that I thought might be kind of fun... Let's turn these arguments that are measurable into a game. Say Shryke says Movie A is going to win the weekend, but you think Movie B is going to win. Bet him $5. Or, let's say Buscemi says something you consider unconventional is going to happen, give him 10:1 odds.
It doesn't have to be just films either. If Geezer says the Packers are going all the way, bet him that they won't make the NFC championship. I see potential for a lot of fun.
Basically, start out with $50, the person with the most cash at the end of the calendar year wins. If you run out of cash, you're out.
Anyone want to play?

Re: Betcha!
I'll take that bet.... does that mean that I have to bet my own pick, or is just accepting the fact that SatC2 won't win enough?
Happy 60th birthday Jet Li! (4/26/23)
Re: Betcha!
You bet me and Busc $5 Sex 2 won't win the four day weekend (right?), so if anything else wins, you're up $10.
