Ozymandius Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Here was our bet. I'll quote you: I don’t think he will get many sacks at all. You pay me a dollar for every game he doesn’t get a sack, and ill pay you ten dollars every game he gets a minimum of 1 sack (half sacks are a push). PS games wont count because they play backups and starters only part time. I will make a lot more money than you. Here are Miller's stats I count 10 games in which he got sacks = $100 for me I count 7 games with no sacks = $7 for you There was 1 game that he got half a sack which I'll call a draw. $100 - $7 = $93. You can pay up now or continue this bet next season to see if you can get some of your money back. I'll leave the choice up to you.
thebandit27 Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 I remember reading that and thinking at the time that Thoner's over-the-top Von Miller hatred had just forced his fingers to write a check that his pocketbook wouldn't want to cash later...

I wasnt a huge fan but those arent friendly odds on a top pick guy whos sole job was going to be getting pressure. dumb luck says hed eventually get one, even if he was bad.

He said that he'll pay you $10 per GAME where he gets a sack, NOT $10 per sack. So, if 1/2 sacks are a wash, there a 9 games with a sack, thus Thoner owes $90- $7= $83
T master Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Put your money where your mouth said it would go if you lost -- IN HIS HAND :w00t: !!!!!

Agreed. Then you would always get the "I was just kidding" excuse from the debtee.

Even if Miller only had 2 games where he got a sack, Thoner would lose money. The only way he could have won is if Miller only had Zero or One sack.

Then you would always get the "I was just kidding" excuse from the debtee. true that, although mine was a sure bet, all joking aside and I made it with Trent sitting on the bench at the time with the odds stacked against me.(I'm honest to a fault and would have paid the man) Edited January 17, 2012 by Fig Newton

So, if 1/2 sacks are a wash, there a 9 games with a sack, thus Thoner owes $90- $7= $83 No, I did it right (counted games, not total sacks -- Miller actually had 12.5 sacks overall). 10 games with at least one sack, 1 game with a half sack, and 7 games with no sacks. Good luck on collecting, posters have a tendency to fade away into the night on bets for cash, got burned on a $100 bet over Trent and Pushthepile never posted here again(under the same alias) I'm not saying the poster you bet with will do this,(OP) but the odds are against you in my opinion. Quite possible. Let's just hope Thoner has more honor than that.
Bruce Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 No, I did it right (counted games, not total sacks -- Miller actually had 12.5 sacks overall). 10 games with at least one sack, 1 game with a half sack, and 7 games with no sacks. Sorry, man. Just went back to make sure that I was not an idiot. There are 9 games with a sack. IF you are not counting 1/2 sacks, then it is 9. The game with 2.0 sacks counts as 1, as it was per GAME, and not per SACK.

DrDawkinstein Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Here was our bet. Wow, reading that thread... Miller made me look stupid this year. Good for him! (Still glad we ended up with Dareus though)
NewEra Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Thoner is probably done with the tsw now. A few weeks back he said he was done with the bills in the shout box and jumped on the tebow bandwagon. I've seen him post a few times since, but wouldn't be shocked to see him disappear after this thread. You can probably find him on the broncos message boards. Nice work Ozy!!!
Arkady Renko Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Sorry, man. Just went back to make sure that I was not an idiot. There are 9 games with a sack. IF you are not counting 1/2 sacks, then it is 9. The game with 2.0 sacks counts as 1, as it was per GAME, and not per SACK. They played 18 games!
bowery4 Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Wow dumb bet by Thoner and bump, to make sure he might see you called him on it.
