Actually I have a lot of other things to do but posting on these boards amuses me.Originally Posted by accountinquestion
Since you said the magic word ("Please") I will give you the quote that started the challenge, and then explain why Redietz did not lose.
The quote: "Mickey claimed he could snag Room 861 at the Horseshoe in Las Vegas for fifty dollars a night. Since 861 is an Executive Suite King, I have my doubts, but I will donate $200 to him if he can show a receipt demonstrating that he procured that room for that amount."
Analysis: To be fair, the challenge by its terms was quite clear: Mickey wins if he shows proof of getting the room for fifty dollars a night.
Apparently Mickey said he could, and Redietz took him up on it.
Mickey used a comp: that is NOT what the challenge was; it did not provide for ANYTHING other than getting it for fifty bucks; not for more, not for less, only for fifty bucks.
Had Mickey not used a comp, and had he gotten a receipt proving he got the room for any price OTHER than fifty bucks he'd have lost the challenge.
