That's easy to say when it's not your money on the line.
I don't know anything about CB and I don't know anyone else who knows or has meet him.
I know I will pay 100% of the time if I lose.
Im not going take a chance if you lose he just walks away without paying me. Even if the chance is small, I would have a bad bet and lose in the long run.
If I'm willing to let
someone else hold the money during that short time, he should be willing to do the same.
That's not making the terms difficult it's protecting my cash.
