Title: $500 for CH.com!
Post by Jonny on Oct 27th, 2007, 2:30pm
I got $200 that says the Red Sox will own the world series title this year. If I lose this bet the $200 will go to DJ to keep this ship running, if you lose then you will send DJ $200.

Now I know most folks cant part with that much in these tough times, so I will take any bet you want to make up to $200.

$10, $20, $50.....whatever it is I will cover it up to $200.

To me this will put a little fun into keeping this boat afloat. ;;D

Any takers?

....................................Jonny

BTW.....Bring your own oar, we aint that rich that we can supply them.....LMAO  ;)

I honestly could not give 2 shits about who's gonna win the superbowl.
But, just cause Jonny is such an not a very nice person, I will send in my $20 right now.

I'd get in on this too, but I just wrote a check out this morning for 100 bucks for a jazz choir trip for Megan in 2 weeks for school, and another 180 for groceries.  I'm not counting the additional 25 I spent for Halloween candy.

I'm broke this time around.

My brother inlaw bought a bedroom set and a sofa set from Jordans Furniture in March. If the sox win the World Series, he gets his money back.

Jordans sales were over 20 million that month ;;D

I'll cover $100 of that bet--

Even if they win, I'll still send it.  It's time for me to hit the paypal button again anyway.

So I guess I'm betting that somebody will win.  ;;D

Guess "some" of us will be hitting the Paypal button this morning (if you haven't already) to the tune of $550.

Oh well, cheap at the price - and we all win.....

EJ's transferring the funds to paypal tomorrow--takes a couple days to get there--so I'll be putting in later in the week.  Thanks, DJ, for all that you do.

Congratulations, Sox fans.  Been a great year for you folks.

Nope . . . the BoSox whupped the ROCKIES last night to win the World Series.  The BoSox whupped the yankees a long time ago.

And what's this I hear about A-Rod and the Yankees and Boston maybe picking him up???

The folks stepped up!.....Thank you all!

Now that DJ has a family this will take some of the pressure off him keeping this site going.

DJ in no way asked me to do this, as a matter of fact after he read the thread he said I was crazy (I guess for putting my money out there)

It dont matter what you call it, bro......we all benefit and that rocks!  [smiley=headbanger.gif]

So did I, Charlie......I wanted them to win it in Boston.....but then again the people probably would have burnt the city down......LOL.

I hear some folks on the radio saying that the sox are the new dynasty for the 21st century, first ones to win two world series this decade. ;;D
