Nope that is not a good comparison at all. It's more like you bet someone you will score 40 points in a game and don't, but you have a bunch of excuses why you didn't and only scored 30. "Well I could have if I wanted but... "

I thought that was a decent reach by cy actually. Still a reach and incorrect but quite a good effort.

Cy made a really good bet and was really spot on about ingles worth imo.
Then ingles screwed cy's chances to win the bet by signing quickly with the jazz for a good price.
Good news for cy is that nothing was on the line so he doesn't need to care that he lost the bet.
It's like a few years ago when I bet the jazz over on season wins. It was a good bet. The jazz roster to begin the season was more than good enough to easily get to the over on season wins.
Then gobert missed 20 games, favors missed 20 games, hood missed a handful, exum missed the whole season, burks missed like 50 games, etc etc.
It was a good bet but injuries screwed me and I lost 500 dollars. (900 if you count the winnings that I would have gained as well
)

Did he talk to any team so they could offer him?
If you bet Jazz beat the Nuggets, but the game gets cancelled, do you lose the bet? No, it pushes.
It's literally nothing like that. He didnt talk to any team, but we have information a team wanted to offer him 60 million.
Any offer sheet a player doesnt sign is always going to be a rumor. Bontemps reported one but yall arent believing it for some reason, just because after the Magic got nay-nayed they denied it.
Yet, no offer was made. Nor could an offer be made since they didn't have cap room to make that kind of offer. The bet was he would get that offer, he didn't. Could he have got one? Probably. Did he? No. Did he get interest from teams? Yes. Does interest mean they actually made an offer? No. You have up talk to teams to get an offer.
Yeah cuz teams never make deals then clear space after an agreement is made in the moratorium.
The report was made by a reputable journalist.
Not an actual offer.
Besides you said he didn't talk to other teams. How do you get an offer without talking to them?
Did Ingles say he didn't talk to other teams?
Wanting to make an offer isn't making an offer. You keep digging your grave deeper.

Free agency didn't get cancelled. Joe Ingles screwed you on the bet.
Nothing was cancelled. Joe Ingles made a choice. Free agency took place. Ingles signed a deal as a free agent.
It would be like if I bet jazz beat nuggets and jazz are down one point and ingles has an easy breakaway layup with no defender there in the final seconds and he just holds on to the ball and doesn't even attempt the layup.

You didn't answer the question btw. It was a yes or no question.
No, it's not at all like that.
