Golf-a-holic and I have a difference of opinion as to who will win the most majors this year. I say that Tiger would be favored to win any particular major over the other members of the Top 5 (Singh, Goosen, Mickelson, Els) and golf-a-holic says the others "carry as much weight" as Tiger. Initially we debated the odds of any of the Top 5 winning a major and the "debate" evolved into a personal bet.

The bet is a $20.00 dinner and the conditions are as follows:

If Tiger wins a Major tournament in 2006, Golf-a-holic must buy me dinner.

If Singh, Els, Goosen, or Mickelson, win a Major, I must buy Golf-a-holic dinner.

The bet must be paid within the week of any one of the Top 5 hoisting a major tournament trophy.

The Great Debet is on!

So this is a recurring bet with each of the Majors? If so, it is a tough call as to which of you with get the most free dinners. The odds are 4-1 against you, but your 1 is Tiger so you can't go to far wrong there can you? I think I will go with the odds, even though I really like Tigers chances. Either way, good luck to you both.

The way I see it, you may get a couple of dinners out of this one, League...

I like league's chances...3 of the Big Four, with Mickelson being the exception, have shown reason for me to doubt them this year, while Tiger seems to be hitting his stride. The one big factor that could change the tide is Tiger's father's health...from some accounts, he is doing very poorly now and with as close as those two are, I'm sure it will have an effect on Tiger.

I know what a DEBATE is, but what is a DEBET?

I think it's meant to be a play on words...debet=dee bet...such as "I won dee money...dee money is mine."

We already had the great debate once, so this makes sense, I suppose.

Who won the previous debate and what was it?

I don't think anyone won it, per se...but it was over the nature of JimSomebody's avatar. I'm sure I can dig it up here...

Here it is...The Great Debate!!!

You mean, "da bet"..."da money"...?

Shouldn't this be "Da Great Bet"? Or "Da Bet"? "Great Debet" is like saying "Great the Bet" which is just stupid, and I give leaguegolf more credit than to say something stupid.

Duh! Doh! Deedle dee dee!

Debet = n. de' bet......a play on the word "debate." Example: Golf-a-holic and I have accepted the terms of debet!:

We have a part of town here in Pgh where a bookie says to a customer of his, "did you make-a de-bet?".....that's what League and I happened to do....we make-a de-bet.....which each odder....

Tiger is going to win at least one, so I'm going with Leaguegolf, although I don't believe he's been fed for under $20 since he was about 10.

Quality, not quantity my sequined jumpsuit wearing friend!

So is this going to be once for each major? Or is it one dinner for the person who has the most major winner's picks at the end of the season?


And if it's the latter, what happens in the event of a tie?

The bet was spelled out in the first post.
