TMO & FE played a soccer game and lost 0-2. TMO claims there was a litigious hand for the first goal, and an offside for the 2nd one. Alarti bets he will give 100 bucks if the 2 goals are declared valid.

Referees are given a video of both goals. They seem to only review the 2nd one and decide to cancel the 2nd goal. However after a while, they find out the video was one from a previous match (a fraud), and declares the 2nd goal valid after all.

One month later, Alarti still claims to wait for the 1st goal decision, which so far we don't even know if it's even looked at or considered a potential issue. And you can't be sure the referees will even talk about the 1st goal.

In light of this analogy, does pre-handing the 100$ still sound like a bad idea to you?
Or at worse, Alarti should give a dead line to what he consider the 1st issue solved. No word about it for 4 weeks after the raid means it was not even considered. I doubt GMs would need longer than that, don't you agree?
I actually liked this analogy. Also the Lance Armstrong picture is fucking hilarious A+
