Ok maybe just: Piggy's extraordinary cynicism.
It's just an attack on another user.
essentially calling them liars

errc saysThere's a market for this type of betting. The odds are such that anyone who believes that Goran would actually pay up can make easy money on arbitrage. You would have to believe that Goran is honest, though. So, if nobody takes the bet, that means that either nobody thinks that Goran is honest or nobody wants a free $2K. I'm going with the former option.
How the hell is this uncivil?
He's calling Goran dishonest, that's a personal attack and uncivil.
Based on your posting history, you have a problem understanding personal attacks. The current Comment jail is proof of that.
Sorry forgot to add this @Goran_K still waiting

I went through the sign up process and ladbrokes doesn't allow U.S bets otherwise I would have put up a sizable bet.
Hutch here,
Didn't you say you live in Nevada? No sports books you can go to? If you don't live in NV, DE, MD, NY, or NJ you can place your bet at Bovada. I'm sure if you are really serious about placing the bet you could find someone to take your money.
You didn’t know this already? That Republicans have prohibited your ability as an American to wager like most rest of the people on this planet. Freedom, it’s just one more thing for grumpy Republicans to hate, and take it out on everyone else. Sad!
But how could any American not know this already? Strange
I'll offer you any odds that "Bovada" is offering Hutch if you're "so sure" my money will be taken, up to $5,000.
No, I'm 100% sure I won't lose a single cent on that bet.
I'll offer you any odds that "Bovada" is offering Hutch if you're "so sure" my money will be taken, up to $5,000.

Donald Trump likely to resign before Congress can impeach him, says senior Democrat

Donald Trump would resign before Congress is able impeach him, a senior US representative has said, as pressure mounts over his team's alleged links to Russia.
Jackie Speier, who sits on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said attempts by the President to pardon members of his family or fire the man appointed to investigate Russian meddling in last year’s presidential election could trigger an impeachment vote.
“I have always thought that he was never going to fulfil his full term,†she said.
“I am more convinced that he will leave before any impeachment would take place.â€
On Friday it emerged that the special counsel appointed to investigate Russian meddling in the 2016 vote, Robert Mueller, was using a grand jury – suggesting his probe was entering a new, more serious, phase.
The move piled further pressure on the President, whose seven months in office have been dogged by accusations that his team worked with Russia to swing the vote.
Speaking on Radio 4’s Today programme, Ms Speier said: “I do think the potential for the House to start to think in terms of impeachment is not outside the realm of possibility.
“It is not something that would be happening any time soon but if the President were to act precipitously at any of these situations, pardoning his family members, taking actions to try and get rid of Mr Mueller, I think those would be tipping points and could end up in the House calling for impeachment.â€
In order for Mr Trump to be impeached, a simple majority (50 per cent plus one representative) is needed in the House.
A trial would then take place in the Senate, where a two-thirds vote is needed to remove him from office.
Ms Speier said the current makeup of the House of Representatives meant only 24 Republicans were needed to join with Democrats in order to pass an impeachment vote.
Describing the similarities between the Mr Trump and Richard Nixon, who resigned following attempts to impeach him, as “starkâ€, she said the investigation into the incumbent president “could get very muddy very quicklyâ€, adding: “You can’t make this up, that is what is so mind boggling.â€
Mr Mueller was appointed special counsel in May by the justice department following the firing by Mr Trump of FBI director James Comey.
He has since assembled a team of more than a dozen investigators, including current and former justice department prosecutors with experience in international bribery, organised crime and financial fraud.
News of the grand jury came as senators introduced two bills aimed at protecting Mr Mueller from being fired by Mr Trump, with both parties signalling resistance to any White House effort to derail the investigation into Russian meddling in last year's election.
Mr Trump's defence team has been looking into potential conflicts of interest among members of Mr Mueller's team, such as past political contributions to Democrats including Hillary Clinton.
Mr Trump has warned that any effort by Mr Mueller to look into his finances would fall outside the scope of Mr Mueller's appointment.
