Ps. Explain the bet to me though as I am wager challenged.
If Tiger (Me) wins the grand slam, (quite possibly) THE hardest thing in all of sports. I get a sleeve of balls.
If the field (you) wins I have to pay 100 dollars to go see Cannibal Corpse/Cryptopsy/Darkthrone/Deicide/Dismember?
Something seems outta' whack daddy-o.
ok, point #1, it was a bit late and intoxicated when i typed that. I meant a BOX of balls, to begin with. and #2, those shows wouldn't come close to costing $100 (well maybe if you're in the boonies and gasoline... but hey, that's life!) more like $20-$30 so the overall payoff odds are likely somewhere between 1:1 and 2:1 depending on the exact ticket price and the type of balls you want and blah blah. seems fair to me since he's so great and has it locked up  |

My biggest problem with Tiger is hardly Tiger's fault. Even when he's running in the middle of the pack, he commands a grossly disproportionate amount of air-time and fawning commentary. Hell, even when he's not playing they still spend a lot of time talking about him. Of course I realize that some huge percentage of casual golf viewers tune in just to see what/how Tiger's doing so the broadcast team is simply giving their viewers what they want. Like I say, it's not really Tiger's fault.
That being said, dude's a remarkable talent and amazing to watch, particularly when he's shooting lights out. I still prefer to see a competitive match rather than watching the rest of the pack battle for a distant 2nd place. Again, though, Tiger just goes out and does what he does, it's not his fault when no one stands up to him.
Well stated. We are watching history in the making but the media coverage is well over the top. |

overmediasaturated from day1, *bunghole* on the course, and megarich (probably dodging his taxes with crazy offshores and loopholes)  The fact that his every move is captured (cue the overmediasaturation of which I agree) has to factor in. It's one argument I just don't buy as I submit he is no different than most. And not even close to being considered an a-hole. Just my opinion. And somehow I just knew his being wealthy grated on you.  Don't you at least have to give some grudging respect for the work he's put in to make his money? He definitely was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. |

Putting aside the fans who only watch golf on TV to see Tiger Woods (is that even such a high percentage of the total?), the Number 1 player in the world having the wheels come off is news, too. Same happened with Palmer, Nicklaus, Watson, ... |

so my proposed overall payoff odds are likely somewhere between 1:1 and 2:1 depending on the exact ticket price and the type of balls you want and blah blah. seems fair to me since he's so great and has it locked up. I guess I'm more wager challenged than I thought, but let me type this out so I can see it in writing. Over the course of the 4 major tournaments I'm giving you approximately 560 players (155 x 3 majors/ + approx. 90-100 at the Masters)) to beat my one guy. 560/1 and the best odds you can give me is even money? How about if you win, Dystopia has to take 10,000 posts away from Aske and give them to you. Can't do that, that's just not fair to the good Dr., he's worked hard getting those posts so high and I couldn't/wouldn't want to be the reason his posts were removed, especially over a silly bet. This isn't about money, and this isn't about golf balls, and it's not about going to see Deicide or The Crypt Kicker 5, or whatever. If I win I want you dressed in a Seahawk jersey that I will provide (to be returned) and I want you in a Nike TW Cap that you will purchase, and I want you holding an "I Love Tiger Woods Sign" and I want a good picture, no fingers, no silly faces, no devil horns, I want you smiling. If I lose I will go see whatever Death Metal band hits Seattle this year, or you may come up with another counter offer. |

Proper sports betting requires one thing. Permit me to append this primer: ProcedureAll three of the below methods should begin with proper jewelry selection for the style of scrotum piercing to be performed. After jewelry selection, the scrotum should be cleaned using a surgical scrub or similar. At this point it is also common to clean the penis to prevent contamination issues due to subsequent contact and handling issues. After cleaning jewelry placement should be marked with a single-use marking instrument. Clamp-and-PierceProbably still the most common method used is the clamp-and-pierce method. After cleaning and marking of the area the scrotum is clamped to hold the tissue in place and make for ease of handling and piercing. With the clamps on, the needle is pushed through the scrotum and the jewelry is subsequently pushed through the piercing behind the needle. Removal of the clamps between piercing and jewelry transfer is optional and definitely depends on the jewelry being used for the piercing. After the jewelry is in, the piercing procedure is typically done unless bandaging is needed to prevent spotting of clothing. Freehand MethodAs opposed to the clamp-and-pierce method, no clamps are used for this procedure. Due to the tissue consistency and ease of handling most areas of the scrotum, the freehand method is also very common among piercers for scrotum piercings. After cleaning and marking, the tissue is held firmly, the marks are aligned, and the needle is pushed through the tissue. Once the needle is through the scrotum the jewelry is transferred into the piercing in a normal fashion. Scalpelling MethodThe scalpelling method is viable for large gauge scrotum piercings. Unlike the previously mentioned methods a scalpel is used instead of a piercing needle. Scalpelling can be performed either freehand or with clamps. As with many large gauge piercings, care should be taken to choose an appropriate piece of jewelry for healing. As opposed to smaller piercings, with larger gauges weight can be an issue and is typically handled by using materials such as titanium with a much lighter weight than steel. Scalpelled piercings should be left to an experienced practitioner. LINK |

I had always been told before when I tried to place a sports bet; Kid, you don't have the balls to make that bet. So I never did. |

Tiger can eat my fat one as far as I'm concerned!!! He has yet to win in all parts of the World, such as Plamer, Nicklaus, Watson, Player, Norman and Els. Of the current era at least Ernie makes an effort to come down here regularly, other than for the Presidents Cup a few years back. Tiger played a tournament here once and was beaten by the course and hasn't been back since!! As for Phil, that tubby bitch wouldn't have a clue where Australia is. I'd also be prepared to tip the field vs Tiger winning the Grand Slam.  |
