Sadly yes. Crickets from HB since February 11.Quote: WizardofnothingGuessing this is pretty much a dead deal
She was scheduled for some back surgery a couple of weeks back, so is possibly too busy recovering from that to bother with this forum.
GWS HB.
Quote: WizardI'm in frequent contact with HB outside of the forum. I recently asked her for a progress report on the challenge. She admitted her chances don't look very good. She added that she intends to pay all losing bets come May 13.
Thanks Mike, and thanks also to HB for the update.
To HB,
Regardless of the wager, do not do anything desperate or dangerous to your health in some last ditch attempt to win. Hope your recent medical treatment went well and that you are in good health and good spirit. Hope too that had some success with the challenge from a health and wellbeing standpoint.

Quote: HotBlondeI weighed myself this morning and I weigh 289.2 pounds. If you need me to weigh myself again tomorrow as proof or something I can. I started my diet today so I should be around that or slightly less.
My target weight is 164.6 pounds or less on May 13, 2017 (and that would be my weight naked). That gives me 306 days (or 10 months and 2 days, or just under 44 weeks) to hit my goal.
If anyone is interested in my calculations, here's what I figured: if I follow the current plan I have set up I should reach 163.7 pounds on my birthday (May 13th). And yes, that's cutting it close (yikes) but it will only motivate me to really stick to my plan and possibly add in exercise.
Happy Birthday HB,
Doesn't time fly when you are on a tight schedule.
I hope you'll pop by soon to report that you are happy and well and close to your target weight. I'm sure that win or lose, you're still hot.

Awwwww HB. C'mon.
I know you logged in here early today. Don't keep us in suspenders. How did you do?
It's anyone's guess right now
Quote: WizardofnothingCould be a set up for a total slow roll and 1 minute to midnight- then again she may not have made it-
It's anyone's guess right now
Well, I guess that she's entitled to enjoy her birthday without stressing over a few wagers.
Patience for now.
I think the gentlemen of the forum will take the opportunity while there are a few hours left to wish her a happy birthday.
Quote: WizardI think I'm allowed to say that she admits defeat and will make arrangements via PM to those she bet with.

As I've said a few times. I hope she had some measure of success, because then even losing would not be in vain.
Commiserations. It was always a tough target.
PM sent with my PayPal address. Please select payment type of 'personal gift' if you can find that option as that might minimise my fees.
International Bank transfer as an alternative if you prefer. PM me for details if required.
Pay what you can, a little at a time, people don't want to hate you and you don't want to wind up back in that magazine that interviewed you, updating to address your failure and suggesting you never would pay bets you won had you lost.Quote: HotBlondeCongratulations to the winners of this bet. Payments from me to be sent out shortly (before the end of this month is the goal). Thank you for your patience. Please PM me with how you'd like me to send payment.
I don't recall what the bet was but I do know that I did not bet anything at all so I'm safely on the sidelines.
With my weight challenges... well, I guess I better not go there. Seriously thinking of the knife though. Or else radioactive iodine.
Weren't other forum members banned for not paying a bet? Is HB banned? Or is this one of those two-insults-cancel-out-two-bans situations? Can someone womansplain all this female privilege to my feeble male brain?
Not banned, banned members show up with red names. Suspended or banned are red, that is.Quote: RogerKintFleastiff, you can do it! It's never too late. You seem to have a lot of info regarding diet and nutrition.

Roger,
I guess since you're asking for womansplaining about bannings, you're addressing me, but as I said at the beginning of this thread at some length, I recused myself from anything concerning this thread. The likelihood of this situation occuring is one of the reasons why.

Is that better, or worse, than getting Rickrolled?

Wise decision. I respect that especially since you're the only green willing to moderate the Trump threads.
Sounds like you can offer infinity to one, and have an edge, but I'll take 100/1.Quote: IbeatyouracesI put the probability of any of you being paid at around 0%.
I will take that bet.Quote: IbeatyouracesI put the probability of any of you being paid at around 0%.
With you thinking it's a Zero probability, I should probably get some good odds.
Quote: michael99000How much in total did she collect from winning bets after Challenge #1?
Without going back I think it was between $6000 and $7000
LOL, you guys are_______.Quote: SOOPOOWithout going back I think it was between $6000 and $7000
Why am I not surprised.
Quote: AxelWolfI will take that bet.

I never said I was offering a bet. Just giving my guess to the probability.
Book it, bet it or shut it. (-; (-;Quote: IbeatyouracesI never said I was offering a bet. Just giving my guess to the probability.
Axel, I'll bet you the next poker dealer at Binions we run into named Klaus won't know the capitol of Germany =).Quote: AxelWolfBook it, bet it or shut it. (-; (-;
Quote: RomesAxel, I'll bet you the next poker dealer at Binions we run into named Klaus won't know the capitol of Germany =).
You are completely forgiven and I also hate people who bring up spelling errors, but I think most of us, myself included till lately, think we are using 'capitol' correctly but are not. This is not a harangue but a "thought you might want to know"
Capital vs. capitol
As a noun, capital refers to (1) a city that serves as a center of government, (2) wealth in the form of money or property, and (3) a capital letter...
Capitol has two very specific definitions (outside ancient Rome): (1) a U.S. state legislature building, and (2) the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C. State capitols are located in the capital cities of U.S. states, and the Capitol is located in the capital city of the U.S. If you’re not talking about any of these capitol buildings, then the word you want is probably capital.

I think I had $1k on the no

Lucky for you, SOOPOO is a gentleman and will pay. I would not.
Nothing personal. just my rules of life.
Wow, admitting on a gambling forum that you wouldn't pay a bet that you would lose. The good thing is at least we all know now not to make a bet with you since you seem to create your own terms. The bad thing is is that people will see just how despicable you are."

Why would you make a bet with a banned member anyways?
Many have been banned for much less.
There's only 2 possible reasons the bets haven't been paid yet:
1) she doesn't have the money
2) she doesn't plan on paying
She had her hand out to collect pretty quick after challenge #1 ended.
If only she had the same eagerness to get the challenge #2 bets resolved
As one of her creditors, I'm privy to much of the behind the scenes comm's and there are factors discussed in PM's that must remain confidentialQuote: michael99000Unbelievable that she hasn't been banned yet.

There are reasons why she hasn't been banned yet. If she behaves appropriately, in the near future, she may not get banned and may re-establish some good standing here.
I hope she does.
