OK, here we go. Here are the posts regarding the history of the unpaid bet for one share of AAPL stock, between sylvester80 and Allen (Cogito), starting in October 2011. The bet was never paid by sylvester.
The links to posts simply confirm what I've written above each link. They speak volumes about the content of sylvester's character:
Here is where Allen challenges sylvester to the bet. It is regarding the total number of iPhones Apple sold in the 4th calendar quarter of 2011:
Message 27715736
Allen ups the offer for the bet from 25 to 30 million, still suggesting Apple will sell more than that:
Message 27715750
Here is where sylvester takes the challenge, offering to make the bet for 30 million instead of 25 million:
Message 27715754
Allen accepts the bet for 30 million iPhones sold in calendar Q4 2011:
Message 27715838
Allen responds to sylvester regarding a mistake syl made about their bet, saying it was for 10 shares, not one:
Message 27837729
Allen again responds to sylvester, again confirming their bet and suggesting syl buy the share before the earnings report, since it will be more expensive afterward:
Message 27837756
The pure irony of this post from sylvester is simply too funny not to note:

Sylvester concedes that Apple likely did sell more than 30 million iPhones given the numbers from Verizon, offers to go double or nothing on the bet, but says he will put the check in the mail:
Message 27861897
Post from rnsmith, reporting Apple's results for Q4 2011. Apple sells 37.04 million iPhones in the quarter, crushing the estimates to the upside and making Allen the clear winner of his bet with sylvester:
Message 27902807
Allen confirming that he sent sylvester his mailing address via PM (sylvester does not respond to this publicly):
Message 27902854
Allen reminds sylvester that he owes Allen the money for the bet:
Message 27902980
The first hint that sylvester has no intention of paying Allen for the bet:
Message 27903061
Allen once again reminds sylvester, and asks sylvester if he's put the check in the mail yet:
Message 27903078
Sylvester gives one of his patented non sequitur responses, again refusing to acknowledge the bet or his debt to Allen:
Message 27903105
Allen indicates he's still waiting to hear from sylvester about the check (again, sylvester doesn't respond):
Message 27903343
Allen once again encourages sylvester to admit he lost the bet. Once again, no response from sylvester:
Message 27904688
Sylvester says he put the check in the mail, but says he's "not responsible for misdirected mail" and laughs about it, giving further indication he has no intention of paying up:
Message 27904722
Sylvester continues to joke about "misdirected mail," giving yet a 4th indicator that he will not pay:
Message 27904786
Sylvester responds to Allen, claiming it would be the US Post Office that stiffed a guy fighting cancer (Allen), not him:
Message 27904796
Sylvester goads Allen again about "worrying about that postman":
Message 27905934
Allen confirms he has yet to receive the check, three days after it was supposedly sent:
Message 27912894
Again Allen mentions that he hasn't received a check from sylvester, and that he has stage IV colon cancer:
Message 27915374
Allen confirms PMs with sylvester, Allen forgot to include his real name, but did give his address, which would be sufficient for the check to arrive as it should. Things really begin to unravel for sylvester's lies after this:
Message 27915878
Sylvester, finally, reveals publicly when he says he sent the check – the 25th of January, 2011. He makes another joke about it going to someone else by mistake:
Message 27915927
Allen says he still hasn't received the check, five days later, on Jan. 30th, 2011:
Message 27916112
The next few links are all reports from Allen indicating he has not received the check sylvester has promised, from February 1-6, 2011. Sylvester's replies are contained within, all indicating sylvester's poor behavior, lame excuses and complete lack of responsibility for Allen getting paid properly, blaming everyone but himself:

To his considerable credit, Lahcim Leinad paid sylvester's debt instead:

There you have it! I had to skip some posts in order to shorten what is already a very long history of sylvester's welshed bet to Allen (Cogito).
Oh, and sylvester, you repeatedly referred to the payment you sent as a check, not a money order, as you've claimed recently in this thread. Not surprising you couldn't remember something you never sent in the first place! :-) |
