I am offering a Murat type bet

Sean, if you read this thread in RGB, it sounds to be exactly the same as your bet, except for being for a longer series of longer matches and for more money per match.

Apparently he had been offering the same bet for years in two separate parts. First the PR based part, then the straight up part.

He had explained that he wanted to prove his point about PR and milk the cow already, because once his PR would become somewhat known, he would not be able to offer a PR based bet anymore.

After that, he had said he would also bet the same amount on straight up odds.

His latest offer combined the two bets to be similtaneous, on the same series of matches, which really does make sense in terms of efficiency.

I sure would like to see you get to play your bet but since you say you would give any winnings to charity, I am also wondering if your goal is the same as Murat's wanting a chance to demonstrate that "PR is bullshit"..?

Or maybe you are trying to prove your wins/losses will be proportionate to your PR and that you will demonstrate that "PR is NOT bullshit"..??

One last question: do you have a prediction as to the outcome?
