Just wanted to mention since the bet was earlier in the thread, and also to celebrate just a little. ..I had the yes for $100 @4:1 with the Wizard, and he is making good on the bet. Thank you, Mike! And thanks again pg!

BBB IIRC You always bet the yes. I think you have a maternal instinct and love for the underdog.



I want to just make the correct choice.

I came close to loading up $500 on the over however The Wizard wanted to move the line up. I would have bet $120 to win $100 but The Wizard wasn't having it. he wanted to move the over. I don't like getting a worst line even just adding 1 or 2 more made me say no.

We couldn't come to an agreement so I put the $50 for the win.

It would have put down as much as Mike let me(within reason), if I could've gotten 3.5 to 1. I hated the fact you were getting 4 to 1 and I was offered 3:1.

Normally I take the no, but I just had a good feeling about him. But knowing how difficult this is and the fact he's canadian gave me some concern.

I don't bet because I'm trying to win money the money just happens to keep score.

I'm pretty sure I know how/why PG was able to complete the amazing feat... Saturday night at poker, drunk Axel: "Seriously I know guys that'll kill you if you don't get 75. I got guys that'll kill you..." ...slur the words a bit as you read them =).

That was a little concerning but to Axel's credit I think the threat was that HE himself would murder me so atleast he is a do it yourself kind of guy :)

What are the odds that this happens just a week or two after we have the nugget challenge and got a lot of heat from McDonalds??? I think we got them to change their nuggets!!! At least that's what I'm gonna go with. Good job everybody!

They probably saw what those damn things did to me and were thinking we are going to sued one of these days.

PokerGrinder - If you were paid $10 for nugget 101, $20 for nugget 102, $40 for 103, $80 for 104, $160, $320.. etc. How many do you think you could have maxed out at?

It was a hypothetical question. I also asked, "If I gave you $100 for each additional McNugget, how many more could you eat?" I think he said 20 to 30, but I'm not sure.

My apologies, thought I clearly heard the first one of 10 more for 100 and he said no after looking up in the air for a couple seconds

Don't apologize. It was just talk, not official offers.

As the Wizard mentioned we had discussed hypotheticals. I said if there was a lot of money in it I could have probably stuffed 20 more down.

Vomit or ruin is there really a difference at that point.

Hehe... 20 more would be mind blowing.

Although I lost to the Wizard, the entertainment value of the thread and the event was worth it. Congratulations again, and thanks for the attempt. I also appreciate Mike sponsoring the freeroll. Thanks Wizard!

I think I could have kept going but the hypothetical money would have had to be like $100 a nugget at that point. I didn't feel well at all. Glad you were entertained though. Someone will have to figure out a challenge for next year. (Not volunteering to do it btw)

Just heard Usain Bolt say he craves Chicken Nuggets, but they don't allow him to eat them as training food.
