the issue isn't that he's influencing the bet. that part's obvious. the issue is that the results are 100% unverifiable, despite the fact that he's permitting people to come to the scale with him (which obv no one would do for such small amounts of money, individually).Originally Posted by duped_samaritan
He influences the result of the bet by trying to win it. (and has offered to verify with third party)
There's nothing wrong, and in fact it's pretty common, with offering the "I bet you I can do this thing" bet. Golf comes to mind first.
If you think he's cheating somehow that's a different story.
the last time we saw something like this was jasep, with his live play BAP. the community just had to accept the results jasep provided. druff let that go forward "cause he was a trusted part of the community", just like china, even though druff said he wouldn't permit that kind of thing to happen again after jasep.
and ftr, i don't think china set out to scam anyone. i think it's likely that he believed (and still believes) he will win, and that the bets were/are motivation.
but i will say this. he's not going to lose $5,000. that's just not going to happen. so take that for what it's worth.
