I think I can break into grandmaster on the Korean ladder by June 30th 2012. I think it would be fun for people to take me up on this claim by putting some money on the line. I am currently in diamond on the Korean ladder. Here are my questions for you:

1. Would you be willing to take me up on this bet?
2. How much would you be willing to bet?
3. What odds would you give me (like 2:1 where you put up 50 and I put up 25, something like that)?
4. Do you know any legitimate website where we can organize such a bet?

We have no idea of your skill. You could as well be a progamer's smurf.

Don't worry endy, betting a few hundred thousand ESPORTS dollars on this guy won't put a big dent in your account. OP didn't specify currency, so you just need to assume the default TL one.

Yeah I'm too used to Rekrul's betting blogs, that's why, sorry.

give me your ~~sharkscope~~ your previous history of rankings in each season, when you started SC and your broodwar rankings

Then i'll give you a price, and you can take me up on it up to a notional loss of 1k max for either of us

If any info you give to me is wrong, i'll render it null and void
I can choose to not give you a price (or a really shitty price)

We can sort out a poker site xfer with an escrow

The more info you give me, the better a price i will give you

I'll bet forty esports dollars you don't remember this blog by Feb. 2012 and I'll bet 60 esports dollars that you don't make it anywhere close.

Yup, we have no idea who you are.

If you're a complete nobody and we have proof that you didn't smurf during the trail then I'll take you up on the offer. Pretty sure a guy like Rek would too, but that's only if we have your background info to assess and we would have to monitor you.

Alright, that's why I wanted to discuss this guys. Obviously no matter how much information I give you it could be an elaborate plot to steal your money. I think keeping bets small would be a nice way to do it. I have 3 accounts, one in NA, one in KR, and one in EU. My ID is "Riotgrrrl" on each account.

Does anyone know of a site that could do this? Clearly a 'gentleman's agreement' is a little too 'this is never going to really happen', it would be nice to find a good site to manage it. I think 5-10 USD bets would be bets depending on how many are interested.

How do we know someone won't smurf, will you stream all your games?

Lol would be funny if all the BW pros decide to practice before then. But yeah, if you can get this organized I'd definitely be willing to put down 5-10 bucks why not.

If I did this, I would just pay a progamer to smurf me up to GM and split the profit.

I would be open to do this. Right now I know that my computer is not good enough to stream effectively. I might post in the tech subforum and see what the limiting factor is with my computer. If it's a reasonable price to upgrade then I will likely do so.

If you give me more information such as your account/###, stream your games or at least record them so I can look back on them and review I would be more willing to talk about this. PM me with some more information.
