Boat I don't normally agree with conspiracy theorist or pile on, but even I thought it was suspicious. I'm not going to go dig the thread back up but I'm pretty sure you were egging on the bets and GUARANTEEING people would get paid if Brock lost the bet.
You were on a big PR kick at that time promoting your payment to Cory and the famous Big Daddy thread, and here you are publicly backing Brocks bets. Then when he gets crushed here comes Boat to rescue again with a big pay out from your best buddy George.
There is no way you can look at it that way and not suspect it was a set up from the beginning.
If you weren't in on it from the beginning why were you guaranteeing the people betting with Brock will get paid?
I'm not hating on you for it. In today's world you have to do something to stand out if your a book not named 5Dimes\Bookmaker, and you have a knack for out of the box thinking. Forum guys will hate on you no matter what you do. Same guys that bash you were the first to stand up and tell everyone how great Tuckman was. Your never going to win the PR battle with the forum so you might as well be upfront and disliked for who you are.
